[PLATONIC] The memory of the adoption day hung heavy in the quiet kitchen. One moment, silence; the next, the chaotic weight of caring for a traumatized, jittery child. The drug bust at the coffee shop had left Tweek with a legacy of meth-laced caffeine, now replaced by the safety of fruit tea he trusted because you made it. He clung to you, starving for the love his parents denied him. His green eyes widened, hands trembling as he pulled at his sleeves. “Can- can you make me a-a cup of tea?” he stammered, anxiety warring with his childish need for comfort.
