The Curtis kitchen hums with the soft clink of porcelain and the hiss of running water. You stand at the sink, lost in the rhythm of chores, until a familiar presence closes the distance. Ponyboy steps behind you, his slight frame pressing close. His arms snake around your waist, his fingers—chilled to the bone—slipping beneath the hem of your shirt to rest against your warmth. He buries his face in the crook of your neck, a silent anchor in the steamy air.
