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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzUvfst4Tl
“Other stuff?” Reggie asked, blinking in confusion.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrErfvI7eA
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?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5IYbZwimM
Luke shrugged. “We’ll figure it out. But first, clothes. She can’t keep wearing our old band shirts.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RnY6doG2B
Reggie scratched his head. “Okay, but how do we know her size? Like... for real?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MIbaTaSyN
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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP39wRxmWH
Alex blinked. “You just… checked her tags? That’s kind of weird, man.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLqvsAfCAf
“Not weird,” Luke countered. “Smart. Otherwise, we’d have no idea.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewzYIYZRgj
Reggie tilted his head. “Yeah, but what about underwear? That has a size too, right?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqXJeDgEmE
Luke hesitated, his cheeks flushing slightly. “I might’ve, uh, noticed her laundry in the basket by the couch.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyhgN6N7qR
Alex stared at him, half-amused, half-shocked. “You are way too observant sometimes, dude.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiAuVrAlFi
“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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NNllL513J
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1rrhapP5
“Think she’ll like these?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe5hQKlgUd
Alex nodded, pulling out a metallic silver jacket. “Definitely her style. What about shoes?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PXKIZqXCb
Luke grabbed a pair of platform sneakers from the display. “Size six. I checked.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY8eOhWC0X
“You’re on fire today,” Alex muttered.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ExrsAG6s2
Reggie wandered over, distracted by a rack of hats. “What about this one? It’s got flames on it!”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzmNmm1Cbq
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC091MhgcsF
“Okay,” Alex said, picking up a pack of pads. “These seem… normal? Right?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO0yKRIDCW
Luke held up a box of tampons. “What if she uses these? We should get both.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHEVlJQUB
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?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdBJ0szuoJ
“Just grab one of each,” Alex muttered, tossing items into the cart.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG1rZaSbR4
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9VUwZPXHL
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfkezqIxA0
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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xrmxwP9w6
Alex stared at him. “When did she tell you that?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWLN980aCO
“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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd67UPNGla
“You’re adjusting the straps now?” Alex asked, half-laughing.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC2Uw3ZPLB
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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ23CybMpV6
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.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rOnlDmhfv
“What… what is all this?” she asked, standing up.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlVsT9frCE
“Your new stuff,” Luke said, setting the bags down with a grin. “Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and, uh… other things you might need.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Siv902ghS
Roxy blinked, her face flushing. “Other things?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6BE3IKzTw
Alex coughed, his ears red. “You know… girl stuff. We grabbed everything we thought you might need.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXA4j22MGJ
Reggie nodded. “Yeah, pads, tampons, all that. It was… an experience.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DBICIeVkM
Roxy laughed softly, her eyes glistening. “You guys didn’t have to do all this...”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FHWGvR1I
“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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpHUcqc5Q
Roxy’s brows furrowed. “My sizes? How did you...?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWXYv9JfgW
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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV8Xs5yud1
Her face softened. “Thanks, Luke. That was... thoughtful.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHtxrpIdT3
As she unpacked, Luke cleared his throat. “Hey, Roxy,” he said carefully. “About the knife…”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQJ40OHw55
Roxy froze, her face clouding over.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsEc4rX1m0
“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?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzNZGUHpW
She nodded slowly, her voice quiet. “Okay. Thanks.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATVeHm8SEs
Reggie, who had been rummaging through the bags, glanced at Luke’s pocket. “Knife? What knife?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPaQwm6S3q
Luke straightened, his tone casual. “Nothing important.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5nHBA0J3
Alex gave Luke a knowing look, covering smoothly. “Oh. Right. Got it.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UzJbp1pt9
Reggie blinked, confused. “Wait, didn’t I see you grab something red yesterday?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh335mt2vgV
Luke shrugged. “Probably just my bandana. You know I always have one lying around.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZANOELqtos
Reggie grinned, his confusion fading. “Oh, yeah! That makes sense. You’re always messing with those.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc9CC97PeS
Alex smirked. “Classic Reggie. Can’t keep track of anything for more than five seconds.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsOv6yBEEx
Reggie laughed, scratching the back of his neck. “Hey, I’ve got a lot on my mind, okay?”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsUcBHNlHw
Luke smiled subtly, relieved the topic had passed.
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CL7u109D8
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.”
229Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCp2gAd6AL
“You’re part of the band now,” Luke said warmly. “Part of the family. And family takes care of each other.”
