How He Reacts When You're Hurt

Johnny:

You were trying out some flips that Darry taught you in the backyard. You slipped on a root that protruded from the grass, and fell hard to the ground. You were crying in pain and cradling your ankle. Johnny heard your cries and immediately came running out. 

"Y/N!!! Baby, omg, what happened, are you ok, what's wrong???" he sputters.

"Johnny. Johnny, my ankleeee," you cry. Your tears are coming out at lightning speed, and you can't stop them.

"Where does it hurt, my love??" He touches the tip of your ankle, and you scream in pain.

 He winces and says, "Omg, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!!" He gets you in his arms and carries you inside to the couch. Darry finds out you hurt your ankle, and makes a doctor's appointment. 

Johnny comes with you to the doctor. You find out you've badly sprained your ankle, and that you need to stay off of it for 2 weeks. Additionally, you need to wear a splint and walk with crutches. 

Johnny helps you with EVERYTHING. He helps you learn how to walk with crutches, he gets you anything anytime you need it, he gives you a million hugs and kisses, and a lot of cuddles. He keeps blaming himself, saying, "If I was there with you, I could have stopped your fall," or, "I knew I should have done more gardening." But you reassure him it wasn't his fault in any way.

Dally:

You were walking home from a movie when a random guy comes up to you and asks if he can kiss you. You immediately say, "No. I have a boyfriend." He continues to harass you and you finally yell, "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" He doesn't like that, and punches you in the jaw. He runs off.

A little while later, Dally comes running down the street. He kneels down right next to you and notices the blood streaming out of your face, and a couple of bruises near the cut. He becomes FURIOUS, and yells, "WHO THE F*CK DID THIS TO YOU???" 

You whimper, "He- he had brown hair, he was wearing a blue and white striped shirt. He was your height, a little shorter-"

"Stay right there, doll," he says, and then leaves. He searches everywhere and eventually finds the guy that hit you. He beats him WITH NO MERCY for a good two minutes, then goes back to you.

"Darling, I'm so sorry I left you. I had to take care of that guy. Come on, we're going home." He hoists you up in his arms and carries you all the way home. He wipes and disinfects your cuts, puts bandages on them, and puts an ice pack on your bruises. He holds you in his lap for the rest of the night, never letting go.

The next day, he checks in on you every half hour, and insists on feeding you and breaking your food up into tiny bits so you don't have to move your face as much. 

From now on, he walks with you to the movies every time.

Pony: 

You and Pony went to the park to watch the sunset. After, you went on the swings while he sat near you, reading a book. You were swinging SUPER SUPER high and decided it would be a wonderful idea to jump off to see how high you could get.

"Pony, watch!!!" you scream with exhilaration as you let go and boost yourself off the swing. He looks up just in time to see your arms flailing and your legs wobbling, mid-air. He's on his feet before you can even reach the ground.

He yells, "Y/N!!" and then you hit the ground, landing on your left arm with a crunch.

"OWWWWW," you scream and he rushes to your side.
