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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXka6N2he6
“Other stuff?” Reggie asked, blinking in confusion.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSx4WLZh6Q
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ932DUhBuRq
Luke shrugged. “We’ll figure it out. But first, clothes. She can’t keep wearing our old band shirts.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP1aYkcSjF
Reggie scratched his head. “Okay, but how do we know her size? Like... for real?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtI3bYTSHn
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZSx43Kjg
Alex blinked. “You just… checked her tags? That’s kind of weird, man.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuUayaxj8A
“Not weird,” Luke countered. “Smart. Otherwise, we’d have no idea.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFItLK00rC
Reggie tilted his head. “Yeah, but what about underwear? That has a size too, right?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJiQYJteF3
Luke hesitated, his cheeks flushing slightly. “I might’ve, uh, noticed her laundry in the basket by the couch.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D2IE2yoRI
Alex stared at him, half-amused, half-shocked. “You are way too observant sometimes, dude.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNo3g1YAfz
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerIYI9dP1J
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY00wh2Hfli
“Think she’ll like these?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ZR1QtsGp
Alex nodded, pulling out a metallic silver jacket. “Definitely her style. What about shoes?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWeeFQwQWJ
Luke grabbed a pair of platform sneakers from the display. “Size six. I checked.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0wO3Q7n2Z
“You’re on fire today,” Alex muttered.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHNtWttxTr
Reggie wandered over, distracted by a rack of hats. “What about this one? It’s got flames on it!”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMoUqV6FdR
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXY2dBAttR
“Okay,” Alex said, picking up a pack of pads. “These seem… normal? Right?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoMyWUXdBd
Luke held up a box of tampons. “What if she uses these? We should get both.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dO7MmZw6F
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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrcQhZub1K
“Just grab one of each,” Alex muttered, tossing items into the cart.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShPE6m6RcM
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MPAeArV67
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIsIJTBDXB
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR1VCE0Fwk
Alex stared at him. “When did she tell you that?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zeefm597I
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrquezpRZj
“You’re adjusting the straps now?” Alex asked, half-laughing.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrdJR687UM
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5agJK5z2p
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.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLZBtuQ5FA
“What… what is all this?” she asked, standing up.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUAusDt5uC
“Your new stuff,” Luke said, setting the bags down with a grin. “Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and, uh… other things you might need.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSijMcxMff0
Roxy blinked, her face flushing. “Other things?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8JJyaAUov
Alex coughed, his ears red. “You know… girl stuff. We grabbed everything we thought you might need.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U8AX2mq67
Reggie nodded. “Yeah, pads, tampons, all that. It was… an experience.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBwBVoW2xR
Roxy laughed softly, her eyes glistening. “You guys didn’t have to do all this...”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKUNc9xFL
“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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOtGyL2iQl
Roxy’s brows furrowed. “My sizes? How did you...?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEHd36qXTI
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbOvlDH63U
Her face softened. “Thanks, Luke. That was... thoughtful.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtNP4dqoX4
As she unpacked, Luke cleared his throat. “Hey, Roxy,” he said carefully. “About the knife…”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTKzJsHpFq
Roxy froze, her face clouding over.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccQchJpnf3
“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?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i47MD0Isv
She nodded slowly, her voice quiet. “Okay. Thanks.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2WDzB3Yq
Reggie, who had been rummaging through the bags, glanced at Luke’s pocket. “Knife? What knife?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8sGKjTih
Luke straightened, his tone casual. “Nothing important.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ078Hwigp5j
Alex gave Luke a knowing look, covering smoothly. “Oh. Right. Got it.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqn6jopuRm
Reggie blinked, confused. “Wait, didn’t I see you grab something red yesterday?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNxUTK77lE
Luke shrugged. “Probably just my bandana. You know I always have one lying around.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt5c5HKEK2
Reggie grinned, his confusion fading. “Oh, yeah! That makes sense. You’re always messing with those.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc5rTha6iV
Alex smirked. “Classic Reggie. Can’t keep track of anything for more than five seconds.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKCE7iMzj1
Reggie laughed, scratching the back of his neck. “Hey, I’ve got a lot on my mind, okay?”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDjwNgfwcH
Luke smiled subtly, relieved the topic had passed.
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURkX8yKd17
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.”
173Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj91ivBm7nL
“You’re part of the band now,” Luke said warmly. “Part of the family. And family takes care of each other.”
