steve randle died on a tuesday, his father’s fist red with his blood. he died in a house he never belonged in, with a man he wished he could hate.
sodapop curtis cried for the whole tuesday, wednesday. then on thursday he was silent, friday he punched darry in the chest over and over to stop the aching in his lungs. saturday he screamed and threw all the plates in the cupboard on the floor, sunday he hugged ponyboy so tight he couldn’t breathe.
it was like life pressed fast forward, until the day of the funeral. on the day of the funeral sodapop curtis drank half a bottle of vodka and chugged as many beers as he could before he threw up. on the day of the funeral he bought as much candy as he could with the pitiful amount he had in his wallet and ate until his sugar crash finally hit. anything to stop that pain in his bones that dragged throughout his body on repeat.
at the funeral he sobbed, fixing steve’s hair the way he would’ve wanted, slipping a dime into his pocket and placing his hand over his heart. he still had a black eye and a busted up lip from his dad, but that’s what made it all the more real.
steve randle died on a tuesday in june, his car sat out in the lot until a thursday in december. it was wrecked by then, mouldy and missing parts- stolen by thieves and starving children. the classic story of the east side.
he died on a tuesday morning and was found dead in the afternoon, bled out over the carpet. staining it for life, the thick smell of pennies filling the air for the rest of eternity.

it's not often i really use other artstyles aside from my doodling artstyle and my typical, but every so often I'll lean more into the semi-realism of my artistic abilities and sometimes i can also really like it
I LIVE for middle class Steve bc he’s an Outsider. He’s an outsider to the Insiders (The Socs) and an outsider to the Outsiders (The greasers) and no matter what he does he’ll never be FULLY accepted by either side (in his opinion)
ok this is a totally out there idea but what if steve was raised by soc parents and became a greaser?
i mean, his dad gives him five dollars literally every time he wants to apologize. money used to be able to bribe anyone in mr. randle’s eyes. his son’s no different to him. secondly, i’m pretty sure it says steve has his own car? and total speculation, again, but maybe that was an apology gift too from his dad. steve was brought up thinking money healed everything because that’s how his dad apologized to him. when he befriended sodapop, he was introduced to the gang, and despite the differences in their money, their stories were awful similar, bad he felt like he had more in common with the rest of the east side rather than anyone on the west side. he didn’t care what anyone thought, he’d be a greaser if it meant having a family who actually cared about him.
realistically, i think steve would be middle class at best, but i think this would make for a good au.
