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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TCBZeSwSm
“Other stuff?” Reggie asked, blinking in confusion.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AyQ1Ujh9g
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?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxJWBQrJfb
Luke shrugged. “We’ll figure it out. But first, clothes. She can’t keep wearing our old band shirts.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EjyDnvVQU
Reggie scratched his head. “Okay, but how do we know her size? Like... for real?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFb2qWsMcz
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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7vWMmal03
Alex blinked. “You just… checked her tags? That’s kind of weird, man.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGy9ScoWfz
“Not weird,” Luke countered. “Smart. Otherwise, we’d have no idea.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0k7h3aQgM
Reggie tilted his head. “Yeah, but what about underwear? That has a size too, right?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ptsuxv14v
Luke hesitated, his cheeks flushing slightly. “I might’ve, uh, noticed her laundry in the basket by the couch.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37odCHWkyW
Alex stared at him, half-amused, half-shocked. “You are way too observant sometimes, dude.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9YV7ZepQX
“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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVoFZKcW2u
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyX6rEv49E
“Think she’ll like these?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcQB2O6TTZ
Alex nodded, pulling out a metallic silver jacket. “Definitely her style. What about shoes?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFDCZ49Z7u
Luke grabbed a pair of platform sneakers from the display. “Size six. I checked.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OQbX2luA
“You’re on fire today,” Alex muttered.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37gNf9OBpC
Reggie wandered over, distracted by a rack of hats. “What about this one? It’s got flames on it!”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSffqS8O9LQ
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARmLzQtYe4
“Okay,” Alex said, picking up a pack of pads. “These seem… normal? Right?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I4GL1gjR2
Luke held up a box of tampons. “What if she uses these? We should get both.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WI8dztlYU
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?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qD205GiZM
“Just grab one of each,” Alex muttered, tossing items into the cart.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aiSuFJaN4
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKn9OpKge
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLwNTv25C
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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMfP73eNXM
Alex stared at him. “When did she tell you that?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWrrqGOAEh
“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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyyg6dHmDQ
“You’re adjusting the straps now?” Alex asked, half-laughing.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1xCymYL1G
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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruDpxbv4m
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.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEATaA4Knq
“What… what is all this?” she asked, standing up.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bi8fC2ghY
“Your new stuff,” Luke said, setting the bags down with a grin. “Clothes, shoes, toiletries, and, uh… other things you might need.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSz6H8MkCQ
Roxy blinked, her face flushing. “Other things?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysyS11dJx
Alex coughed, his ears red. “You know… girl stuff. We grabbed everything we thought you might need.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzMpUccmOR
Reggie nodded. “Yeah, pads, tampons, all that. It was… an experience.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFRmf5yVZh
Roxy laughed softly, her eyes glistening. “You guys didn’t have to do all this...”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vm6iGGYv2
“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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0iQeu1gsE
Roxy’s brows furrowed. “My sizes? How did you...?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9StVoPlaD
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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqOP59eafh
Her face softened. “Thanks, Luke. That was... thoughtful.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTt4QdOq8
As she unpacked, Luke cleared his throat. “Hey, Roxy,” he said carefully. “About the knife…”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb192U3La09
Roxy froze, her face clouding over.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ98do041IR
“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?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5B4tZEDy
She nodded slowly, her voice quiet. “Okay. Thanks.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ186hL40ezT
Reggie, who had been rummaging through the bags, glanced at Luke’s pocket. “Knife? What knife?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZezrtD0lH
Luke straightened, his tone casual. “Nothing important.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBOjG9jqqi
Alex gave Luke a knowing look, covering smoothly. “Oh. Right. Got it.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMNdCHnKiy
Reggie blinked, confused. “Wait, didn’t I see you grab something red yesterday?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0JkjDNt7a
Luke shrugged. “Probably just my bandana. You know I always have one lying around.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kFW2esubG
Reggie grinned, his confusion fading. “Oh, yeah! That makes sense. You’re always messing with those.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdsCK5egHb
Alex smirked. “Classic Reggie. Can’t keep track of anything for more than five seconds.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwTlyVSGi9
Reggie laughed, scratching the back of his neck. “Hey, I’ve got a lot on my mind, okay?”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jy8LUx2aj
Luke smiled subtly, relieved the topic had passed.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSA2ccz9sx
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.”
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69zv7k4yHr
“You’re part of the band now,” Luke said warmly. “Part of the family. And family takes care of each other.”
