When You Catch Him Singing

Johnny:

You spot Johnny behind the tree in the lot. You decide to go and spend some time with him. You want to scare him, so you creep up slowly behind him. As you're just about to reach him, you hear him singing. It's an aimless tune that doesn't have any words, but it's absolutely beautiful. It's soft and clear and just perfect. After he finishes the song, you appear from behind the tree.

"Johnny, that was so gorgeous. You have an amazing voice," you tell him.

He blushes super hard and says, "Ya heard me?"

"Yes, but it was great."

"Aw, come on, Y/N."

"No, I'm serious, baby," you tell him. "It was so pretty."

"Thanks, sweetheart," he says. You two cuddle against the tree. He's still super embarrassed that you caught him singing, but he's so happy inside that you thought it was good.

Dally:

You're trying to get some sleep when you hear someone singing pretty loudly. You wake up and sleepily climb out of bed. You peek into the bathroom and see Dally with a guitar singing a country song. It's so bad and off-key, but you think it's adorable because he's really trying to make it sound good. You stand there and listen for a bit. You stifle your giggles when he gets frustrated.

"Damn this thing," Dally yells and bangs the guitar. He sighs really loudly, and you just can't hold it in any longer. You let out a really loud laugh and Dally looks startled. "How long were you listening?" he inquires.

"Just for a bit," you say, trying to hide your smile.

"Don't you know how to knock?"

"Come on, Dallas."

"No." he says. "It was really bad, I didn't want ya hearing that."

"It wasn't bad. I bet if you don't try so hard, it will sound really, really good," you tell him.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Singing is for softies, anyway," he says.

Pony:

"Ok, Pone, I have to go brush my teeth now," you tell Pony and break away from his hug.

"Nooo, I wanna keep cuddling," he pleads.

"Babyyy. It'll only be a couple of minutes, then I'll come right back in and we can continue cuddling," you say.

"Ok, fine," he pouts. You leave to go brush your teeth. When you come back, you hear a soft melody coming from his bedroom. You listen through the door. Pony is singing a theme song from one of the shows you guys have watched together. His voice is really quiet and timid, and there are a couple of voice cracks here and there, but otherwise, it sounds so sweet.

You walk into the room. "Love... that was the sweetest thing ever," you say.

He faces the wall so you can't see him blush. "Oh, don't lie. That was nothin' special."

"No, it really was, Pony. You have such a beautiful voice."

"Thanks, baby. You're the best," he says with a smile. "So, can we cuddle now?" he asks, trying to change the topic. You roll your eyes and smile, and hop into his arms. 

Soda:

You go to use the bathroom, but hear Soda in the shower. You step into the room quietly and hear him singing "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" by Paul Anka. You beam and listen to him for a moment. Then, you hear the water shut.

He continues to sing as he comes out of the shower and wraps a towel around his waist. "You and I could fall in love- Oh, hi, angel," he says with a huge smile.

"Soda... you have such a hot voice," you say in awe.

"So I've been told," he says with a smirk. You slap him on the arm and he laughs. "Seriously, thank you, beautiful. You're always the sweetest."

Darry:

You walk into the Curtis' house. "Darry, I'm home," you call out, but he doesn't seem to hear you. You hear him in the kitchen, so you make your way over there. As you get closer, you can hear the radio playing "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley and Darry is singing along. He's singing into a spatula and his eyes are closed. You giggle, but listen for a bit. His voice is absolutely angelic. It's deep and almost sexy in a way. After the song ends, you slowly walk into the kitchen.

"Oh, uh, hi, honey," he stammers.

"Darry... your voice. I've never heard you sing," you say, not finding the right words to tell him he sounded amazing.

"Oh, I know. It was horrible. Don't even tell me."

"No, no! Not at all. Your voice is... magical. Powerful. Really, really hot. It's just... perfect."

"Aww, really?" he asks you.

"Of course."

"Thank you, hunny." He smiles and lifts you up onto the counter. He looks into your eyes. "I love you."

Steve:

You decide to give Steve a surprise visit at the DX. After all, he's always working and if he can't be with you, at least you can be with him.

You enter the garage and find him working on something underneath a car. He's humming a song. You smile and stand there, listening. His humming eventually turns into singing.

He should definitely stick to fixing cars, you think to yourself with a giggle. Even though it's pretty bad, it still sounds heartfelt and cute.

You stop him in the middle of your song. "Wow, Steve, I didn't know you have such a good voice," you say with a smile.

"Alright, alright, lay off," he says and slides himself out from under the car. He gives you a hug. "There's a reason I chose cars as my passion." 

Two-Bit:

You jog to the Curtis' house and throw open the door. You get there just in time to watch Mickey Mouse with Two-Bit. You head into the living room, but are surprised to see the television turned off. You wait in the door frame and listen as Two-Bit sings "L.O.V.E." by "Michael Bublé."

"L is for the way you look at me, o is for the only one I see..."

You walk toward the couch and sit on it as he's still singing. He stops when he sees you, but you say, "Keep going, I love it," and he continues. After a while, you join in. Your voices are synchronized and it sounds really good. After the song ends, you take his hands and say, "Two, your voice is literally adorable."

"I try," he jokes and smiles. "Thank you, Y/N."
