Dally x reader

-15-

Dal looked at you confused. He looked like he wanted to make sure he heard you right. And yes that was the case cause he gave you a hum.

"Hm?" He said

"Would you ever want to get married?" You say a bit more clearly and looking straight at him to see his reaction and words.

Dal looked shock and looked away. He really couldn't look at you. He didn't want to face you.

"Do you want to get married?" He asked avoiding the question. But you allowed it. Maybe you saying yes would but him at ease.

You smiled softly and held his hand.
"Yeah, I would like to get married one day. It would be nice and sweet. You?" You said turning to face dally again.

"No" he said not looking at you.

You look at him in shock.

"What?" You say letting go of his hand.

You always seen marriage as proof of Everlasting love. Your grandparents had married at 16 and we're together forever. They loved each other so much. Your grandpa stopped eating a year after your grandma died. He wanted to be with her more than anything in the world.

You look at dal, he looked at the bed sheets. He did want to face you. You couldn't help but feel kinda sad about it.

"I just don't want to get married." He said sounding kinda mad.

It must be a touchy subject then.

Besides that thought you still wanted to talk about it. You had to talk about it. He's your boyfriend after all.

"Do you just not want to get married to me?" You said. Yeah it probably wasn't the reason. But you still couldn't help your mind going there and you felt tears spilling out. You couldn't help but standing up and going outside. You went outside the church by the tree. Dal had put up a tire swing. Sure it wasn't the most comfortable. But it was something to do.

You sat on it and didn't swing. You just let tears fall. You didn't know what to think. You couldn't help but feel hurt.

Of course he didn't want to marry you.

He deserves better.

When those thoughts reached your mind you couldn't help but sputter into more tears. Your breathing now coming out in gasps.

You stopped once you hear footsteps. You see it was johnny coming home.

You turn so he wouldn't see you crying and you hear him.

"Y/n look I the extra time at work was worth it. I bought us some hamburgers. No more ham sandwiches!" Johnny said but then he walked up to you and saw your face.

You had tried to dry your tears but he could still see them. Your red eyes and sad expression.

"What happened?" He said placing the food on the ground and walking even closer to you.

"Oh nothing, girl mood swings" you said laughing a bit trying to convince him.

But while pretending to laugh your breath did that weird thing where it sounds you're gonna cry again. You looked at johnny he didn't look convinced.

"He didn't hurt you again right?" Johnny asked.

"No! No he didn't, he didn't lay a hand on me johnny" you said kinda cringing at the fact that he asked that first. But he had every reason to ask.

"Did he say anything?" He asked. Sitting in the ground.

"No, well I asked him something. And I guess I didn't get the answer I was hoping" you said.

"What did you ask him?" He said.

"If he would ever want to get married?" I said.

You looked at johnny and he had a look of just utter dread. You got off the swing and sat down next to him. You put a hand on his knee. To comfort him. It was more like a way of saying. Hey can you tell me what's going on in your head.

"Johnny?" You said.

"Y/n, none of the gang ever want to get married." he said.

His face was the most serious face you've had ever seen him do. It kinda scared you how serious he said that. You felt a chill down your spine. And kinda a crack in your heart.

"Huh? Why?" You said looking at johnny.

"Marriage for us greasers is a curse" johnny says.

You look at him still confused. A part of you wanted to laugh cause how silly it was.

All the members of the gang don't want to get married cause of a curse?

"My folks are married. And they hate each other and hate me. Pony's parents were married and they died by the hands of a train. Dal folks are married and they kicked him out and didn't like him as well. Soda wanted to marry his girl, and she left. Marriage is a curse. We don't want to get married" johnny said.

You felt sad, sad that this is what they thought about marriage. Something that you always felt so strongly about.

"You know, my grandparents married at 16." You said.

Johnny didn't say anything he just looked at you. Waiting for you to continue. But his face was in shock how anyone could marry so young.

" they loved each other very much. And they we're together for a long time. My grandma was 77 when she passed away. My grandpa was so sad. I don't think he would ever love anyone else but her. So he wanted to be with her. He died a year later." You said.

"That's sad y/n, I'm sorry" johnny said.

"Yes it is, but it's what my grandpa wanted. He would given anything to be with my grandma. And he got his wish. I just hope they are happy together once again" you said smiling looking up at the sky.

"Is that what marriage is for you?" Johnny asked.

"Marriage is something special. It's giving yourself to another person. Becoming one. It's the best thing. It's a union johnny. Yes there are some people who marry for bad choices. And yes there is accidents that happen to married people. But that shouldn't hold you back. If dal doesn't want to get married I'll be sad but it's okay. I just hope the reason is that he's scared and not cause he just wouldn't want to get married to me" you said playing with the grass.

"You want to get married to Dal?" Johnny asks surprised.

"Yes, I would love that. I'm sure we would be happy." You smiled.

Johnny smiled. He seemed to like the idea of dal being married. Or maybe he just liked the idea of the two of you being together forever.

You pat johnny's head. You couldn't believe him. You really have now treated him like your son.

Maybe if we do get married. We can adopt him. So we are his parents legally. That would be nice.

Yeah that would. You smiled standing up and helping johnny up.

"Come on johnny the burgers are getting cold" you chuckled. Johnny smiled and grabbed the bad and the two of you headed inside.
