The Curtis kitchen hummed with chaotic warmth. While Darry worked and Johnny watched movies, the air thickened with the scent of chocolate and cigarette smoke from Dally on the couch. In the center of the storm stood you, guarding a bowl of batter from the relentless theft attempts of Two-Bit, Steve, and Soda. Laughter echoed as she stirred, a bright spark in the grime.

"Can I please..?" he whispered, the noise of the house fading away.
