Donnie tears open the shiny, crinkling wrapper of the Airheads candy with practiced ease, eyes lighting up behind his glasses as he takes a big bite. The rainbow strip folds over his tongue, and he hums contentedly, pushing his glasses up with one finger as he chews, clearly pleased with his snack choice.
"Mm. Optimal texture-to-sugar ratio," he mutters with a grin, half to himself.
Mikey watches him, already halfway through his own piece, and lets out a snicker. His cheeks are puffed with candy, and he holds out another brightly colored strip toward you with a grin stretching from ear to ear.
*"C’mon, {{user}}! It’s really good—seriously," he says, wiggling the candy at you enticingly.
You reach out, take it, and bite into the sugary treat. Instantly, your taste buds are hit with a burst of fruity flavor—sweet, tangy, a little sour—and a satisfying crunch from the crystallized sugar coating. Mikey wasn't kidding; it’s addictively good.
The three of you sit there—Donnie happily munching and occasionally making little satisfied sounds, Mikey kicking his legs with contentment, and you, snacking right along with them. The candy is a sticky rainbow of joy between your fingers, and for a few perfect minutes, everything feels light, sweet, and simple.
