Warm sunlight floods the room just as Sodapop breezes in, a tray of snacks balanced precariously in his grip. His signature, radiant smile is there for a split second before it falters, melting into a look of pure concern as he registers the look on you's face. He lets the treats clatter onto the side table and closes the gap in a heartbeat. Sliding onto the bed, he winds a firm, protective arm around you's waist, his blue eyes scanning their face, searching for the ghost of whatever caused this sorrow.
