1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
transmit, to a second UE, an indicator indicating that a second stage sidelink control information (SCI-2) indicates an SCI-2 grant and indicating that the SCI-2 is decoupled from physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) data in a slot; and
transmit, to the second UE in the slot, the SCI-2 grant multiplexed with data-only traffic in a first PSSCH transmission based at least in part on the indicator, wherein the SCI-2 grant indicates:
a resource allocation for a transmission in a subsequent slot, and
one or more recommended field values for one or more subsequent SCIs in the subsequent slot.
