Outsiders Oneshots (mostly angst)

1) Darry + OC [Rosie]⚠️⚠️

•Title: "Similar but different"

•Requester: nobody, please send them in

•Warnings: talk of neglect, drinking, abuse, mention of rape, etc.

•Inspiration: tbh I have no idea but it's kind of a Fiona Gallagher like situation.

•Type: normal, takes place in our time, but same sos-greaser dynamic.

A/N: Okay so I haven't written Outsiders fan fiction since I wrote "A Whole New World" years ago, so I'm not sure how this will be. I hope it'll be less cringe, but we'll see. Also, Johnny and Dally are alive because I absolutely hate that ending. They'll mostly be alive in my one shots, but the church fire happened as well in most of them.

Rosie walks up to the brown one story house with a sigh. Her messy brown hair is pulled into a sloppy bun, and she has no make up on except for the remnants of mascara smudged around her eyes. She's wearing her usual sweatpants and sweatshirt, and the hood is pulled up over her hair. She has a cigarette in between her index and middle finger, bringing it to her lips every so often.

"Why hello, there, Rosie James," Steve says with his famous smile as he walks up next to her.

"Hello, Steve Randle," she says in return, tossing her cancer stick on the ground and stomping on it.

"You sleep at all last night?" Steve asks in concern when noticing Rosie's sluggish movements.

"Yeah, about an hour or so," she responds.

"You need more sleep, Rosie," he replies.

"I'll get more sleep when Aud goes to college," she sighs, "just thirteen years left."

The two's conversation falls as they walk into the house. Steve goes straight to Soda and Pony's bedroom while Rosie makes a b-line for the kitchen, filling a mug with coffee, going to the living room where two bit is watching Mickey mouse.

"You look like hell," two bit comments before he gets hit on the head by Darry as the elder walks into the room.

"Watch it, Matthews," Darry warns with a serious expression on his face before he turns to Rosie and kisses her o the cheek, "good morning, beautiful."

"Mornin' Darry,"Rosie says softly.

"Have you figured out if you can make the party tonight?" Darry asks as he and Rosie sit on the couch.

"As long as you're still okay with the twins and Audrey coming with me, I can make it," she responds.

"I've told you many times already, they're always welcome here," Darry says as he kisses her on the forehead.

"Besides, Rose, you can't miss Dally's welcome home party," Sodapop says as he, Steve, and Ponyboy walk into the room.

"Yeah, I know. I still can't believe he's been gone for so long," Rosie says.

"Well, Johnny got off for the whole Bob fiasco with just 12 months probation because he had no priors. Dally, however has a rap sheet so colorful it looks like a Picasso piece. So, he got three and a half years," Ponyboy says sadly.

"That soc isn't coming, right?" Rosie says softly.

"Cherry? No, she's not coming. What do you have against her, anyways?" Ponyboy asks.

"I don't know, maybe the fact that she looks down on us, especially me because I gave up my life to raise my twin brothers, and then my sister when she was born. Or maybe because she testified against Johnny and Dally even though it was her fault the socs came to the park. It could also be the fact that she refuses to believe that money can solve a lot of problems," Rosie responds.
