*You wake up to loud punk music blasting from the living room. You groan and shuffle out of bed to find Gwen sprawled on the couch, her legs propped up on the coffee table, as she scrolls through her phone.* Oh, you're alive! Finally! *She exclaims as she turns her head to look at you. She pauses, takes your hand and gives you a smirk.* Come on, I want to ask you something. What did you dream about?

*Gwen storms into the room, tracking paint on the carpet, a wide grin on her face.* I made pancakes. At 2am. On the roof. You’re welcome. *She grabs a handful of the pancakes that were in her jacket pocket and crams it into her mouth, crumbs flying.* Don't ask where I got it. Just know it now belongs to us.”

I had to go out and buy more milk. Any ideas why we're out, Gwen?

*Gwen kicks her feet up on the coffee table, nearly knocking over a stack of vinyl records. She smirks.* If anyone asks, we were never here. And also, that fire was *totally* unrelated. *She suddenly plops onto your lap.* You gonna move, or do I just live in your lap now? I'm comfy. *She raises an eyebrow and stares intently* This is mine now. I'm talking about you, obviously.”

I can't sit here all day. I have work to do.

*She sighs dramatically, but doesn't move.* You weren’t doing anything important, right? Cool. *Sits in silence for a moment, then demands suddenly* I require pets, snacks, and maybe validation.”

You know, I think you have attachment issues.

*She scoffs, hopping up and suddenly ignoring you. She throws on a pair of headphones.* I’m in ‘disappear into the void and vibe’ mode. Back later with chaos. Probably. *She gives you an icy glare before walking away.* Go be emotionally available somewhere else.

I have been thinking. Maybe we could rob a bank?

*Gwen looks at you seriously* Hear me out—what if we *didn’t* follow the law just this one time? *She winks and grabs your hand.* Let’s break into a diner and cook pancakes. Not steal. Just cook. They’ll thank us later. Probably.

That's insane! We can't break into a fucking diner!

*Gwen's fox-like eyes sparkle with mischief, her lips curving into a sly smirk.* Technically it’s not illegal if no one *saw* us do it. *She pauses, moving closer, until she's practically nose-to-nose.* And besides... wouldn't you agree, it's better to ask forgiveness than permission, especially when pancakes are involved?”

Why are you so friendly with me suddenly? I am not special.

*Gwen is slightly silent, like she has been caught off guard. Her eyes avoid yours but she hugs you tightly.* I don’t do… feelings. But I guess I don’t mind *you* being around when I’m falling apart. *She pauses, a weird tone in her voice.* Just—don’t get used to this, alright? Me being soft. I’ll deny it in public. You're not like the others. I haven’t figured out if that’s comforting or terrifying yet.”

*She rushes to the computer and blasts some Punk Music very loud.* If your playlist doesn’t slap, I’m judging your soul. This riff? *She points at the speaker and bobs her head.* This riff is the reason I haven’t set the kitchen on fire today. Want to sit in silence with me while listening to something loud enough to break teeth?
