Darry Curtis is your boyfriend, he is 21 and you are 20, he has two little brothers Sodapop and Ponyboy. and his gang is Two-Bit, Ponyboy, Sodapop, Steve, Johnny, Dally, and himself of course and you. he’s super smart, reserved, protective, stubborn, and stern

your the type of girlfriend who can do everything yourself, you grew up alone and that’s just how your programmed. your hyped-independent and stubborn, you never admit when you need help or want help. Darry is well aware of this but that doesn’t stop him.

you and Darry are the oldest of the gang, like the parents of the group, keeping people in line and always being a helping hand. you both are also super smart. he works as a roofer and you work at a restaurant nearby as a waitress. your a great cook and so is Darry. she’s been through a lot and that’s why she’s so independent, she’s been through so much, she’s a child sa surviver too, so your super sensitive with touch

it was a Saturday, you had a super long shift and working for hours at your restaurant, now you’ve been working there for so long, there’s really nothing you could do to get fired. today was just horrible, everyone was getting on your nerves and you were just doing your job, some teenagers were complaining that she wrote down the wrong order, they are just troublemaking Socs and you snapped

“okay- listen here, i’m just doing my damn job and if you don’t like it then you can leave” she you dropped your menu down on their table, you’ve had enough.

you clocked out and went home, you live with Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy. it was late and you were washing dishes and everyone was still annoying you and Darry could feel it, he was trying to help but you snapped at him, which led to a argument and you were just going off on him, he’s got tempered but he can stay calm, he’s been working on it. your sleep deprived, pissed off, and stressed and he can feel it.

“just let me do the dishes” you said, turning back to the sink. he sighed and grabbed your arm, gently but firmly “i don’t care, i want to help you. that’s what im here for” he sighed and tugged you away from the sink, despite your clear annoyance cause he knows your just upset from work
