the outsiders imagines;)

saying "i love you" for the first time;

Darry;

You and Darry had been dating for a good four months now, but you've always been real close before hand. You guys were eating at a restaurant, because you finally had time to go on an actual date, since Pony was at the Nightly Double with Dally and Johnny, and Soda was at a drag race with Steve. You were currently slurping up the noodles from your pasta as Darry laughed at you and then it just slipped out. He shook his head smiling real big and said "I love you." As soon as he said it his eyes went wide, but he tried to play it cool, like it hadn't just slipped out. You on the other hand, you were not playing it cool. You were so shocked, you choked on your damn noodle and went into a coughing fit. You aggressively drank your water and then looked back at him with tears in your eyes from all of the coughing. "i love you too." You said in the strongest voice you could muster, causing you both to laugh a bit.

Steve;

You and your boyfriend of five months, Steve, were laying down on your living room couch watching a romance movie, when Steve grabbed your hand into his. He intertwined you guys' fingers and kissed the very top of your hand, causing you to smile widely. "That could be us one day." Steve said pointing to the couple on the screen with his hand still gripping onto yours. The couple was playing with their little children outside and laughing. The thought of the scenario made you smile, but you couldn't help but wonder if he was being serious or not. "Really?" You asked as your voice hitched up. "Yeah!" He said again mimicking your now squeaky voice. "Are you sure?!" You asked again excitedly. "Yeah I love you Y/N!" Steve said smiling big and proud. You beamed with joy; you were so happy he felt the same because you weren't sure how long you could go along with out telling him yourself. "I love you too Steve!" You said excitedly as you moved yourself to straddle his waist and kissed him deeply as he smiled against your lips.

Sodapop;

You and your boyfriend Soda were hanging out at the DX as his break was about to end and he was going to have to get back to work for the next four more hours. You sat on the counter and he stood behind it as you ate some candy and giggled about silly little jokes you told each other. As you laughed, you saw a smile creep across Soda's face. "What?" You asked him, completely oblivious to the fact that he was smiling because you made him happy. "Nothing." He shrugged starting to laugh a bit himself too. "No seriously, what?" You asked again trying to be more serious but only failed in doing so. "Your laugh is just so damn cute." He smiled even brighter at you. You giggled as you blushed a bit and smiled, cupping your cheeks in his hands and he kissed you. As you broke apart, you looked into his eyes and at the same time, you both said the words "I love you."

Dallas;

You and Dallas were currently in the midst of a heated make out session in a room upstairs at Buck's. You guys have been together for three months, and for Dallas Winston that's pretty good. You knew that you meant a lot to him, but he never really said or did anything that proved it, but other people have said that he cares deeply about you. His kisses started to trail from your lips, to your neck, your weak spot. You gasped, causing him to smirk his Winston smirk. He kept that up a bit and then he moved back up to your lips. He abruptly stopped kissing your lips and looked deep into your eyes and said the words "I love you." out of breath, and then went back to kissing you. Once you guys were through making out, you sat up on the bed and stared at him, still processing what he had said previously. "Did you mean it?" You asked him breaking the silence and catching him off guard. "What do you mean?" He asked confused, or at least pretending to act confused. "You said I love you earlier, did you mean it?" You asked one final time. "Well yeah, I said it didn't I?" He said in a cocky and sassy tone, but you still couldn't resist. "Well I love you too." You said and you wrapped your arms around his neck and cuddled like that for the remainder of the night.

Johnny;

You had been walking to the lot where you normally meet Johnny every night, but tonight he wasn't there when you arrived. You knew his parents were abusive, so you figured that could be the reason being for his absence. Although you cared deeply about him, there wasn't much you could do for his home situation, you barley had a good enough relationship with your parents yourself. You sat on the concrete ledge at the back of the park area and just counted as the minutes went by. It had probably been about thirty minutes and you were starting to worry. You decided that if another ten minutes passes by and he didn't show, you would show up at his house, no matter the circumstance. Another four minutes passed, until you heard heavy breathing and hard footsteps coming you way. Your head instantly shot up and you immediately knew the bruised and beaten figure to be Johnny. "Johnny?" You asked, just to clarify before you got all up in his business. "Yeah Y/N it's me. S-sorry i'm late." The innocent voice quivered, and you suddenly realized he was crying. "Johnny what happened?" You asked suddenly worried as you moved closer to where he had sat down. "Y/N they won't stop beating me. I don't know how much more of this I can take." He cried as he grabbed his head in his hands. "Johnny i'll help you get through this. You're not alone, you have me and the gang all by your side. They love you so much Johnny. Hell, I love you so much Johnny!" You said practically shouting at him. He looked at you shocked. You guys had never said the words 'I love you' before. "You love me?" He asked shocked. "Yes! I love you." You smiled at him and kissed his cheek and he started to instantly feel better about his fight with his parents.

Ponyboy;

You and Ponyboy had been together for seven months and it was going pretty great. You were in love, though neither of you really admitted it to one another. You were both sitting in Ponyboy's shared bedroom, studying away for a math test you had the next day when the words had just slipped out of your mouth. "Okay so if A squared plus B squared is equal to C squared then.." You started but then closed your mouth, too confused to continue. "This shit is stupid! None of it makes sense!" You shouted, slamming your textbook shut and slumping back into his desk chair. "Y/N.." Ponyboy started trying to get you to take a breath and cool down, but you couldn't. Math just made you so frustrated and you felt stupid studying with Ponyboy. "I LOVE YOU BUT NOTHING YOU CAN SAY RIGHT NOW IS GONNA CALM ME DOWN AND HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE FUCKING CONCEPT OF THIS STUPID ASS LESSON!" You shouted, not even noticing that you let those three words slip out. He sat there shocked and you thought that you had offended him in some way. "Pony i'm sorry I didn't mean to shout-" He cut you off. "Y/N, I love you too." He said, and you smiled realizing what just happened. He closed his textbook and threw it across the room and onto his bed. You left the chair that you were previously sitting in and walked over to Pony and sat on his lap smiling. You both were so happy you totally forgot about studying and how angry you had just been over a silly little lesson.

Two Bit;

You were doing the laundry at your house because your mom had been sick and your dad has been working overtime to make sure that your big family got all the money they needed while your mom was out of work. Your mom was only just now after two weeks starting to feel even just a little bit better. You had a five year old little brother, a nine year old little sister, and a four year old little sister. They were a handful, but you loved them very much. As you were finishing up the laundry, the phone started to ring, so you picked it up. "Hey Baby!" The voice rang out over the phone and you had a smile instantly spread across your face. "Hey Two Bit!" You cheered excitedly to your boyfriend. "What do you say we go out for a date at the Dingo and then go to a party at Bucks and then you can stay up here at my house for tonight?" He asked you hopefully. "Two Bit, you know I would love to, but my mom is still sick, and I have to take care the rugrats." You sighed, upset that you couldn't see your boyfriend, once again. "It's all good doll, family first. How about I come up there and give you company and help around?" He asked eagerly. "Yes, that sounds great!" You exclaimed, happy that you found a way to still see your boyfriend, and still take care of your family. "Okay see you soon, I love you!" He said and he hung up. You couldn't help but smile at the fact that the first 'i love you' of your relationship had been said, and he was the one to say it.
