"I Love You" Headcanons

♥Ponyboy♥
◾You always saying stuff like "Oh my God, I love You", "Jesus Christ, Pony. I freaking love you", or even "Holy fuck I love you, Pony"
◾Saying "I love you" all flirty when the other is upset over something little
◾He says the first legit "I love you". Like, it's him staring at you while working all dreamy and shit so he just flat out says it. Making him repeat himself because you honestly weren't paying attention. Him freaking out.
*Studying WW2*
"... I love you..."
"Hm??"
"I SAID "I LOVE JEWS!"
"Lol Hitler didn't"
(Sorry)
◾Good morning and Good night "I love you" texts
◾Giving him random quick "I love you" cheek kisses before class

♥Darry♥
◾Waited long enough to make sure the two of you were fully committed before he said "I love you" first
◾Let's be honest, he probably would've wanted it to be all special but ended up saying it while cooking or something
*stirs pot* "Y/N."
*focused chopping stuff* "Yeah?"
*hugs you from behind* "You know I love you, right?" *nuzzels in the crook of your neck*
"I can tell." *giggles* "And I love you, too."
◾"I love you" kisses before work
◾You occasionally being annoying and saying overly cutesy stuff like "I love you DarBear!" to aggravate him
◾Saying "I love you" and meaning "I love you"

♥Sodapop♥
◾You were probably planing to say it first but he beat you to it.
*Tonight's the night*
"H-hey, Soda. Can I tell you something."
"Well, actually, I have something to tell you first, Y/N.
"What is it...?"
"Ever since I saw you at the DX I knew you had to be mine. Tons of pretty girls and yet none of them stood a chance compared to you. Honesty, every time I see your face and hear your voice, I can't help but fall for you all over again. I love you, Y/N."
*Teary eyed* I-I love you, too, Sodapop!"
"Thank God... but what were you gonna tell me?"
"I've been planing to say "I love you" for so long but you already did it."
"Well sorry to steal your thunder, Sunshine."
*Kisses for days*
◾"I love you" pecks on the cheeck when one of you passes the other
◾Whispering "I love you" before dozing off to sleep
◾You getting insecure about all the girls that flirt with him so he gives you a reassuring "You're the one I love."
◾Praying your both equally head over heals for the other.

♥Steve♥
◾Him saying it first and you winking
*being a savage to Soda/hairflip*
"I think I love you!"
I know you do, Hun. *wink*
◾Quiet and sincerely saying "I love you" then praying the other didn't hear
◾"I love you, alright? I didn't mean it." Sorrys
◾Explicitly saying "I love you" in front of the gang
"Love you, Mama!"
"Love you, Daddy!"
◾Probably not saying "I love you" as much as other couples but meaning it when you do

♥TwoBit♥
◾He said "I love you first" tbh
"Y/N!"
"What?"
"Y/N!"
"WHAT?!"
"Y/N!"

"I love you, Baby."
*Smooch*
◾*"I LOVE YOU" BLUSHIES*
◾Baby talk "I love You"
◾Literally going to class only for him to embarrass you via yelling across the hall.

◾Excitedly saying "I love you!" when the other does something amazing

♥Dally♥
◾Let's be honest on the fact that you were probably the first to say "I love you".
"Dal...?"
"Hm?"
"I, uh... I think I might love you..."
"Lol Everyone does-"
*Smack* "No, Idiot!"
◾You teasingly saying "I love you" after getting what you want
◾His actions are quiet but they speak louder than his words
◾"Do you love me?"
"Eh, I have my moments."

◾If he someway somehow someday decides to say that he loves you, then you better bet your sweet ass he means that shit
