The Outsiders: Tally

The Blond's Lament

 Dallas, Tim, Two-Bit and Darrel go out on a double date together, however, there are high tensions between the younger couple.

-

Dallas was walking around aimlessly. The weather was getting much better, so the blond had the urge to get outside more. He came near the DX and saw a specific redhead laughing with Sodapop outside of the establishment.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is," Two-Bit called out, noticing Dallas. Sodapop gave him a quick wave, smirking when he received one from Dallas.

"What's goin' on, y'all?" the blond said, dapping up the both of them.

"Nothin' much, Dally," Sodapop said, "Just enjoying this half-hour break I have."

"Hey, Soda!" a voice bellowed.

The trio turned around to see Steve in the doorway of the gas station.

"The boss wants to talk to you over the phone," the brunet said.

"Ugh. What now?" the middle Curtis groaned, "I'll catch y'all later, 'kay?"

"See ya, Curtis," Dallas said with a wave of his hand as Sodapop ran towards Steve. The blond then turned his attention towards Two-Bit.

"Congratulations on you and Dare coming out to the gang," Dallas said, patting the redhead's shoulder, "I would've shit bricks."

"Thanks, Dal," Two-Bit said, "It felt really good to finally get that off of my chest."

"I bet," the blond sighed.

"Hey, Dal. Can I ask you a quick question?" the redhead said.

"Yeah, of course. What's up, man?" Dallas replied.

"So, uh, I was thinking... wouldn't it be pretty fun if you, me, Dare, and Tim went out together?

Dallas furrowed his eyebrows out of confusion.

"'Went out together'? What do you mean by that?"

"Y'know... like a double date," the redhead shrugged his shoulders.

"A double date?" Dallas repeated Two-Bit's words, thinking about them cautiously. Being honest with himself, the blond knew he would be putting himself in extreme vulnerability. Other than Two-Bit, no one else knew about him and Tim. If he agreed to do this, then Darrel would be exposed to their relationship. He knew the brunet didn't like Tim all that much. And Tim himself. The dark-haired greaser never keeps his hands to himself, even when they are in public. Dallas doesn't know if he should be flattered or think of Tim as stupidly horny. However, with Two-Bit and Darrel there, they might make the entire ordeal more comforting.

"Uh, I'll run that by Tim... see if he wants to do that," Dallas said, mostly talking to himself.

"No pressure, Dal," Two-Bit said. The redhead looked past the blond and smirked slightly.

"What?" Dallas raised an eyebrow at his friend before yelping. Two hands grabbed the blond's shoulders. Dallas looked up and groaned playfully.

Tim was looking down at him, smiling at the blond's scared yelp.

"Hey, there," he said.

"Don't scare me like that," Dallas shrugged off Tim's hands.

"But it's funny... and cute," the scar-faced greaser chuckled, walking over to where Two-Bit was standing. The two dapped each other up before speaking.

"What were y'all talking about?" Tim asked the redhead.

"I was thinking of doing a double date with you two," Two-Bit said.
