The morning sun filtered through the studio, casting golden light across the instruments scattered around. Luke, Alex, and Reggie huddled in the kitchen, whispering while Roxy slept soundly on the couch.

“We need to get her some essentials,” Luke said, running a hand through his hair. “Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and, uh… other stuff.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDziYd7Hbv
“Other stuff?” Reggie asked, blinking in confusion.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEU5dNCye0
Alex sighed. “You know—girl stuff. Period products, skincare, whatever else.” He glanced nervously at Luke. “Do we even know where to start with that?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVQ0Idd2EO
Luke shrugged. “We’ll figure it out. But first, clothes. She can’t keep wearing our old band shirts.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5yRyKe3Ap
Reggie scratched his head. “Okay, but how do we know her size? Like... for real?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7mt4P0Rj
Luke leaned back, looking almost smug. “I checked her clothes last night when she left them folded on the chair. Tops are small, jeans are size 26.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFOObIiBEs
Alex blinked. “You just… checked her tags? That’s kind of weird, man.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8C7VTjeOG
“Not weird,” Luke countered. “Smart. Otherwise, we’d have no idea.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnLTbkjfbq
Reggie tilted his head. “Yeah, but what about underwear? That has a size too, right?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpTqbSguup
Luke hesitated, his cheeks flushing slightly. “I might’ve, uh, noticed her laundry in the basket by the couch.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqf5jwtUs8
Alex stared at him, half-amused, half-shocked. “You are way too observant sometimes, dude.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5MaXV3PZN
“It’s not like I was snooping!” Luke defended. “I just want to make sure we get the right stuff for her. She deserves that.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvt8cktQA
Reggie nodded slowly. “Okay, yeah, fair. Let’s just hope we don’t totally mess this up.”

At the thrift store, Luke quickly gravitated to the racks of Y2K-inspired clothing. He grabbed a cherry-print crop top and a pair of flared jeans, holding them up proudly.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnTcJAjqaw
“Think she’ll like these?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb7kSwX3KU
Alex nodded, pulling out a metallic silver jacket. “Definitely her style. What about shoes?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS99g6t2AL
Luke grabbed a pair of platform sneakers from the display. “Size six. I checked.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs62nQWks5B
“You’re on fire today,” Alex muttered.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovh0SnJAM0
Reggie wandered over, distracted by a rack of hats. “What about this one? It’s got flames on it!”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYatk58wU2
Luke sighed, dragging Reggie back to focus. “Stay with me, man. We’ve got a list to finish.”

Their next stop was a department store. The boys shuffled awkwardly through the aisles of toiletries and feminine hygiene products, earning more than a few curious glances from shoppers.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2jDSgWYBu
“Okay,” Alex said, picking up a pack of pads. “These seem… normal? Right?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPELLFKz8b
Luke held up a box of tampons. “What if she uses these? We should get both.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UDnJt2Zg
Reggie blinked at the overwhelming number of options. “Why are there so many kinds? Like, wings? No wings? Heavy flow? What does any of this mean?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidgCBPazmZ
“Just grab one of each,” Alex muttered, tossing items into the cart.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWfE4P1ec
They moved on to toiletries, adding shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, and body wash. Luke grabbed a pack of hair ties and a cherry-print makeup bag for good measure.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UcA6aOnNu
When they reached the lingerie section, Luke quickly picked out a pack of underwear in Roxy’s size, his face turning red. Alex added socks and sports bras to the cart, while Reggie stood frozen, looking like he wanted the floor to swallow him.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5B0G2sEnT
Luke hesitated in front of the bras, frowning. “She told me once she struggles to find bras that fit right. Something about being between sizes—32B or 34B, depending on the brand.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Wz42H556
Alex stared at him. “When did she tell you that?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtm6AZ1GOx
“Last week,” Luke said, adjusting the straps on one of the bras he picked up. “She was complaining about the straps being too loose or too tight. Figured I’d better remember.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRvHvXRPtK
“You’re adjusting the straps now?” Alex asked, half-laughing.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4WcibAqdb
Luke shot him a look. “I want to make sure it works, okay? And we should get a strapless one too, just in case she ever needs it.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlliOIKJ1uR
Reggie, holding up a strapless bra, grinned. “Already ahead of you. But I’m never coming back to this section.”

Back at the studio, Roxy was sitting on the couch, strumming Luke’s guitar absently. She looked up as they walked in, her eyes widening at the sight of all the bags.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloAlP99PVK
“What… what is all this?” she asked, standing up.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ma3ixtqR
“Your new stuff,” Luke said, setting the bags down with a grin. “Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and, uh… other things you might need.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpMeHEXSK
Roxy blinked, her face flushing. “Other things?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw8cVkW1sT
Alex coughed, his ears red. “You know… girl stuff. We grabbed everything we thought you might need.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwZdBFAZ3J
Reggie nodded. “Yeah, pads, tampons, all that. It was… an experience.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiqAcY3VwF
Roxy laughed softly, her eyes glistening. “You guys didn’t have to do all this...”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzegUqNuUL
“We wanted to,” Luke said, his tone gentle. “You deserve to have your own stuff. And don’t worry—we checked your sizes. Hope we got them right.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwzm2W3TzZ
Roxy’s brows furrowed. “My sizes? How did you...?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8L7WKJeHI
Luke shrugged. “I noticed your clothes tags last night. And I remembered you mentioned your bra struggles, so we grabbed both sizes you said might work.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8sREbcqvy
Her face softened. “Thanks, Luke. That was... thoughtful.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimta34Yo5N
As she unpacked, Luke cleared his throat. “Hey, Roxy,” he said carefully. “About the knife…”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedvmHGwL9c
Roxy froze, her face clouding over.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3N1hgJWQy
“I still have it,” Luke admitted, reaching into his back pocket. “I’ll give it back to you later. When things feel a bit more settled. I just want to make sure you’re okay first, alright?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTA4vt1IdZ
She nodded slowly, her voice quiet. “Okay. Thanks.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hIBFw1uN
Reggie, who had been rummaging through the bags, glanced at Luke’s pocket. “Knife? What knife?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81oDAJl70K
Luke straightened, his tone casual. “Nothing important.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBua0GQ7XAX
Alex gave Luke a knowing look, covering smoothly. “Oh. Right. Got it.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5y1YpI1vn
Reggie blinked, confused. “Wait, didn’t I see you grab something red yesterday?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGWnamKHPG
Luke shrugged. “Probably just my bandana. You know I always have one lying around.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdwbRsvZzN
Reggie grinned, his confusion fading. “Oh, yeah! That makes sense. You’re always messing with those.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQlgdvX5n
Alex smirked. “Classic Reggie. Can’t keep track of anything for more than five seconds.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0XMU6vCwW
Reggie laughed, scratching the back of his neck. “Hey, I’ve got a lot on my mind, okay?”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJcdjD22mv
Luke smiled subtly, relieved the topic had passed.
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0y8EhyphS
As Roxy held up the metallic silver jacket, her face lit up. “This is amazing. You guys really didn’t have to go all out like this.”
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLmKRZFyiE
“You’re part of the band now,” Luke said warmly. “Part of the family. And family takes care of each other.”
