What He Secretly Loves About You

Johnny: He secretly loves when you stand up for him. He'll pretend he's the one that's supposed to protect you, but he LOVES when you defend him.

Dally: He secretly loves cuddling with you. He'll pretend he's tough or whatever with the guys, but around you, he'll become a total softie and whine for more cuddles, more hugs, or more kisses.

Pony: He secretly loves when you take care of him when he's hurt. He likes to think he's strong enough and he doesn't need anyone to take care of him, but he really loves when you wipe his cuts and give him little kisses on his cheek and forehead after a rumble.

Soda: He secretly loves that you let him cry and express his emotions. He's used to having to bottle everything up because he always thought everyone else's feelings were much more important than his are. He always felt like he had to be the strong one for everyone else. So, when you let him feel what he's feeling and not judge him for it, he adores that.

Darry: He secretly loves how caring and smart you are. He loves that you're able to take care of his brothers so easily and are able to handle helping him with bills or the shopping. He loves that you wordlessly help Pony with his homework or listen to Soda about his day without complaining. He never says it, but it really means a lot to him.

Steve: He secretly loves having deep talks with you. He'll pretend he doesn't like to talk about feelings, much less his, but when you get him to open up, it's his favorite thing in the world, because you always have such good advice for his problems.

Two-Bit: He secretly loves when you get really silly and goofy. He'll pretend to roll his eyes, but really, it makes him super duper happy inside to see you get all crazy. He thinks it makes you look adorable.
