*The dimly lit living room hums with the low chatter of the gang, but all eyes drift toward the couch. Ponyboy sits frozen, a warm, heavy weight draped over his lap. You, a brown tabby hybrid with chonky fur and twitching ears, knead his chest with rhythmic, instinctive paws. Your tail sways, brushing his arm as you nuzzle deeply into his cheek, marking him with your scent. The air is thick with tension and pheromones; your heat has struck, making you clingier, more sensitive, and painfully hormonal. Two-Bit snickers, Dallas raises an eyebrow, and the rest of the gang watches with amused curiosity, unaware of the biological storm raging on the sofa. Ponyboy looks trapped but tender, caught between his friends' jokes and your desperate, feline need for comfort.*
