I feel someone shake me. Grumbling, I turn away from them. "Y/n wake up. I want you to help me with my bombs. I really think they're gonna work this time." I turn around to see Powder's excited face. That sweet smile could make me happy any time of the day. I smile back at her, throwing my blanket over me. I sit up, looking around the room to see that we were alone. "Come on" She runs to her bed. I slowly stand up, hopping over to her bed. She winces when she sees me struggling to go the short distance. "Does it hurt?" I chuckle, ducking my head so I can sit on her bed. "Yeah, it sure as hell does."

She frowns. "I'm fine though, don't worry about me." She nods her head, reaching to grab something.

I crawl in 'my corner' as Powder likes to call it since I always sit there when I'm on her bed. She hands me a bomb, reaching somewhere and then putting a bunch of colors in the middle of us. "Color it for me?" I smile, picking up a bright neon green one and drawing on the bomb. "Hey Pow-Pow?" She looks up from her own bomb, humming a response. "Can you turn on some music?" She smiles before turning on a song.

We both go back to drawing on her bombs, reaching in the middle of us to get the colors, occasionally asking for a color the other one has. I hum along to each song that plays, having heard every one a million and more times.

I hear the door open, leaning forward to see who entered, I see Violet walking towards me and Powder. I lean back against the pillows Powder keeps in the corner. "What are you calling this one?" I look up and see Vi looking down at Powder. "Whisker" she gestures to the bomb I have in my own hand "What do you want to name it?" Powder asks me. I look down at the bomb. "Pepper" I look back up at Violet, smiling up at her.

She sits down on the bed. Powder's mood seems to have weakened when she saw Vi, frowning and getting quiet. "You wanna talk about today?" I look down and start fidgeting with my fingers, feeling a bit awkward. I decide to block out their conversation, feeling as if I was prying if I listened.

I stop fidgeting and start to draw on Powder's bomb to distract myself. I end up zoning out and staring at Vi, thinking about how thankful I am for her.

Violet snaps me out of my trance, waving her hand in front of my face. "Hey? You want to go out on the roof with me and Powder? I'll help you get up there." I smile "I thought I wasn't allowed out of this room." She frowns before grinning. "I'll carry you" she stands up, reaching forward and grabbing me by my hips. She gets a better grip before walking. I hold onto her shoulders, a little freaked out that she can carry me this easily.

"Hey Pow? Can you turn off the light." Powder runs back and turns off the lights, skipping back towards Vi who just got out of the door.

We had just gotten on the roof, me still in Violet's arms. I had asked her a million times "Are you sure I'm not too heavy?" "Do you need a break?" "Are you getting tired?" It still amazes me how strong she is.

Vi gets to the edge, slowly setting me down. Once I'm safely out of her arms, she backs up, patting me on the head, belittling me. I frown before letting myself smile once I see her grin. Powder sat beside me, in the middle of me and Vi.

I wrap my arm around Powder's waist, pulling her in for a side hug. She leans her head on my shoulder, closing her eyes, I do the same. I open my eyes to see Vi staring at me, her eyes sparkling. We look at each other, deep in thought.

Soon, Vi is snapped out of her trance, the soft voice of Powder making her refocus on what she came out here for. "What are we doing here?" She lifts her head from my shoulder, slightly turning to look at Vi.

Violet blinks "See that gutter running along the canal?" She points but Powder isn't seeing it. I gesture to the pipe beside Vi, she smiles at me and yanks it. She brings it up to Powder's eye, I lift my hand to help guide it to the right spot.
