How He Reacts To You Crying

Johnny: He runs to you and freezes when he sees the tears running down your face. "Y/N, what's wrong?!" When you don't answer, he immediately hugs you around your middle and stays like that for a while. He rubs his thumb across your cheeks, wiping away the tears as quickly as they fall. He runs his fingers through your hair, and keeps saying, "It's gonna be ok." He might even start crying with you, but he never stops holding you. After you're done crying, you two talk about why you were crying while he holds your hand. He takes you out for ice cream to make you feel better.

Dally: He walks into your bedroom and sees you're sobbing on the bed. He asks, "Doll, what happened?" You tell him your best friend talked bad about you to everyone. He immediately gets angry because someone made you upset. After a while of convincing him not to beat up your ex-best friend, he takes you into his car and drives 70 mph around town while holding your hand.

Pony: As you two are watching the sunset, he catches silent tears falling down your face. He looks at you, and his expression immediately becomes worried. He doesn't need to know why you're crying or what happened. He simply rubs your back and gives you little kisses on your forehead and nose. After you've stopped crying, he takes you up to his room so he can read to you. 

Soda: You're on the floor of your bathroom. You've just finished sobbing your eyes out. He runs over to the bathroom, kneels next to you, and puts you in his lap. He braids and unbraids your hair, and wipes away your tears with tissues. Even though you say you're ok, he takes you back to his house and cuddles you until you fall asleep.

Darry: You had a nervous breakdown, so you immediately went over to the Curtis' house. Darry was laying on the couch, shirtless, trying to sleep. As soon as he saw your tear-streaked face, he gets up and asks, "Were you crying??" You nod and begin to cry again, and he comes up to you from behind and wraps his arms around you. He holds you like that for a long time. After everything's ok again, he says, "God, you had me scared to death. I never want to see you cry ever again."

Steve: He notices you crying in your car, so he gets in with you and makes you tell him everything that happened. He thinks of ways to fix your problems. Afterward, he gives you a giant hug.

Two-Bit: He was watching Mickey Mouse when he hears the front door shut and sees you tip-toeing up the stairs with tears in your eyes. He immediately turns off the tv and runs upstairs. He turns you so you're sitting in his lap with your stomachs touching. He makes bad jokes to make you laugh and to cheer you up.
