Preference #17: Going shopping (Part 1).

  • Dally: "Would you try this on, at least?" He groaned, and you didn't even bother to look at him. Throughout your whole entire time at the mall, he's been asking you to try on really revealing stuff, but you would decline instantly. "No, Dal. Stop it." You sighed, trying to look for something decent. "But you didn't even look at it!" He whined, stomping his foot and acting like a child. You just shook your head and looked up at what was in his hand; you instantly gasped. It was a beautiful red dress, short in the front but longer in the back, and strapless. "You see? Don't I have good taste?" He grinned at you, but you didn't listen. You snatched the dress from his hands and raced to the dressing room, closing the door quickly because you knew that Dally was on your tail, trying to sneak into the room with you.
  • Sodapop: "Y/N, look at this!" You heard Sodapop breath as you were looking around in the jewelry store. He insisted on buying you something for your birthday, but you didn't want him spending so much money on you. You walked over to see that he was pointing at a gorgeous sterling silver necklace with a heart pendant. The pendant had your birthstone in the middle of it, and you instantly fell in love. "Oh, Soda, it's beautiful." You whispered to him, and he just smiled. "You want it?" "No, babe, I can't let you spend so much on me." "But, you're my girl! I have to!" "No, you do-" "Sir, I'll be purchasing this!" He said, getting the attention of the clerk.
  • Johnny: "Y/N, look at that tuff jacket! Man, I don't think I got any money left. I spent it on a new blade." Johnny pointed at the jacket in the window. You just stared at him. "Y'know, if you want it, I can buy it for you." You offered, shrugging. He just looked at you, totally shocked. "No, princess, I can't -" "It's fine, Johnny. My folks just gave me my allowance yesterday, and I already got everythin' I need. You can pay me back anytime." You said, dragging him into the store and ignoring his protests. You made him try on the jacket; it was a perfect fit. Not to expensive, either. You both walked out with smiles, a new jacket, and change in your pocket.
  • Ponyboy: "What about this? It seems pretty interesting." You guessed as you looked through endless shelves of books, pointing a thick book out. "Y/N, I already read that book a few years ago." He sighed, bringing your hand away from all the books, because you were horrible at choosing. "Well, how about you tell me what book you want. I need to get you a birthday present, anyway." You huffed. He just chuckled. "You know what I want, but don't need?" Okay, fine; I want a new book. But I got something even better." He said, wrapping his arms around you. "What?" You smiled, knowing where this was going. "I got a girl who cares." He said, kissing your forehead.
