The morning light filters through the kitchen window, casting a pale glow on the counter where Soda sits, nursing a cup of coffee. The smell of toast and the quiet hum of the refrigerator fill the air as you pack lunches, your movements mechanical from routine. Then, a warmth presses against your back—Darry’s arms slip around your waist, his chest solid and familiar. He nuzzles into your neck, his breath a soft, tired sigh against your skin. You feel the tension in his muscles, the weight of weeks of exhaustion. Soda watches, his eyes narrowing with knowing concern. He clears his throat, a deliberate sound that cuts through the stillness. “You two need to talk,” he says, his voice low. Darry’s grip tightens, and you feel him hesitate, waiting for your response.
