Sadayo shows off her swimsuit to her wives during their honeymoon in Hawaii.

So for this one, Haru is amab, and isn't out publicly or anything. Actually, she's only out to one person, and it's sort of an accident-

During their first year, Makoto goes up to the roof to check on something for the Student Council and finds one of her classmates trying on a skirt from the lost and found. Both jump, and Haru kinda panics cause "FUCK SOMEONE FOUND ME" and Makoto doesn't know what's happening

And. Haru tells her. Makoto starts to get it, and offers to let Haru try on her own skirts, and other feminine clothes, and they become friends

Then. More than friends.

Makoto tells Haru she likes girls, and they are able to date publicly cause. Haru is still closeted so they appear as a heterosexual couple. Just a guy in a pink sweater and his Council president girlfriend

Anyways I have notes.

Anyways. Like. The thieves get through Kaneshiro and shit and they're talking to Makoto about who she is and she shyly mentions a "boyfriend"

She doesn't tell them Haru's a girl. Or trans. Or the Okumura heir. She still needs to gauge them and their tastes

They spy for a bit to "make sure he's good for Makoto" and they watch as Makoto parts with her "boyfriend" at the school gate with a light kiss, and the guy is smaller and wears a knit sweater over his uniform, and how he smiles so lovingly as she walks away

Makoto: we've been together since first year... His father wants us to get engaged, but, we just want to take our time to really explore being together

Ann: *that's so fucking cute*

Haru volunteers for the Hawaii trip and the Thieves are teasing Makoto about going abroad with her "boyfriend", and they spy on their little evening walk, they don't hear the talk they have, and it's an "accident", but they watch them sit on a bench, foreheads leaned together, talking all low and sharing soft kisses, and just. They overheard one bit as they're trying to crawl past the bench to get back to their rooms

Makoto: I love you so much,,

Haru: I love you too. You're the reason my life shines each day, Makoto, I,

Makoto: I know, I feel the same way. Now, kiss me Goodnight, will you?

Then, Makoto watches silently as Okumura tops the list. Makoto lies in bed and types messages to her girlfriend, trying to find some way to ask if she's okay each night without alerting Kunikazu. Makoto crouches on the roof to help her with the plants, and softly asks what she thinks of the Phantom Thieves

Haru: ...I know you're one of them. But, I don't want you to change my father's heart.

Makoto: I know. And I respect that. I won't let them do it without your permission, okay? We don't act without all agreeing and I'll fight to keep your wishes-

Haru: he gave me an ultimatum. Marry you and produce an heir within a year, or, he chooses my wife.

Makoto: ...oh, Haru,,

Haru: I know you don't want kids, so. I won't let you convince me you do. I'm sorry, I'm- I'm so sorry,,

Makoto: ...I would, you know. I would have a kid, for you. I love you, and,, just- fuck,,

Haru: I wouldn't make you do that,,

Makoto: we'll find some way around it, right? We, it's always me and you, against the world, right?

Haru: y-yeah, we can try,

Makoto: fuck, just- FUCK!

Morgana goes missing. The Beauty Thief appears. Makoto doesn't hear from Haru for a few days

And then, they meet the Beauty Thief in the palace. Makoto may be used to male body Haru, but she knows her girlfriend. That's her girlfriend,,

Makoto runs out of the metaverse and then when they hear the Morgana asking for help thing, she's sprinting. She slides into an alley and sees Haru, kneeling to help Morgana, and above them, its-

Makoto: SUGIMURA! STEP AWAY FROM HIM!

Sugimura: oh, so the little bitch is still around, huh? You missed the dinner between our families for your little bitch girlfriend? Hm, I thought your father told you to drop her like the trash she is?

Ryuji knows to hold back a seething Makoto. But Haru looks so enraged.

"Don't you talk about her like that. You can go and tell my father, as if I care. He gave me two options, remember? Now leave us before I have you charged for hurting this cat."

Ann: I thought we were chasing the Beauty Thief?

Makoto: ...we were

Haru: hello, I'm [redacted] Okumura, or, the Beauty Thief. I'll, explain it all

Makoto's practically holding him up, half carries him back to Yongen, and sleepy tired Haru mumbles love into her shoulder

Makoto: I texted Sis'- well. I texted Tae, we can stay with her tonight

Haru: in your baby room?

Makoto: yes, in the room I had as a baby.

Haru: bet you were, cute,,

Makoto: ...if we can't change your father, I'll do it. Have a kid for you.

Haru: I know you would. You shouldn't have to, I. I just want to be with you without any restraints. Just, us

Makoto: me too,

Ann: so this whole time, you've had to lie about everything...

Haru: except my love for my Mako! I'm glad I got to still be with her through it all, she helps me so much,

Makoto: B-baby,,

Ryuji: holy shit, flustered Makoto,

Makoto: leave me alone! I'm not used to getting to have Haru all sweet around others,

Haru: get used to it! You voted me in as a Thief, so I'm here to ruin your reputation!

Makoto walks the short distance to Tae's place, with a sleeping Haru on her back, and Tae smiles all sad as she helps lower the sleeping Haru onto Makoto's bed

Tae: did you tell your sister you're staying here?

Makoto: yes. I didn't ask. Said it was related to Haru, and that I finished my work. She hasn't responded yet

Tae: go, cuddle up with her. I'll deal with Sae if I have to, but you two are staying here for now. Go rest up, Sprout

Haru is desperately trying to stay awake for when Makoto comes back, and holds her so tightly, and just flops like a puppet when Makoto softly mentions they need to wear pjs

Haru: I can't, move my arms,

Makoto: I got it, I've got you baby. Just relax, rest up

They're in the spare pjs soon enough, and Makoto cradles Haru all close and drifts off watching her sleep against her chest

The next time they're in the metaverse, Haru is laughing and runs up to hug Makoto who cries softly and kisses her sweetly, and they're both just, so happy

Haru: I'm a girl!

Makoto: you're a girl,,,

For safe rooms, Haru sits on Makoto's lap, and they're grinning the whole time

Makoto: one day, we'll have this out there

Haru: you think so?

Makoto: it's us, anything's possible. I'll make it happen for you

The others avert their eyes each time they go back to reality, cause Haru always looks so, down, and Makoto holds her so tenderly

Sae is standing in the living room the first time Makoto goes home after staying at Tae's

Sae: ...hello.

Makoto: hey sis. I'm here to get my meds, I'm-

Sae: why would you choose her over me? I've given you everythinf-

Makoto: she doesn't treat me like a burden. She is greatful to have me, and Haru, there. She makes an effort to make my girlfriend know she's welcome and valid. Maybe that's why, sis. I've got to get my stuff and go.

Sae: ...

Makoto returns to Yongen and Haru bounces up to kiss her

Haru: so?

Makoto: made her think, ha. Should make her palace easier for us

Haru: you're so smart,,

Makoto: smart enough to get kisses?

Haru: perhaps~

Tae: I'm home. There better be two fully dressed teens ready for dinner in five minutes

Makoto: we'll be out soon, Sis!

Haru: just a moment!

Tae: you both clean up nice

Makoto: we weren't doing anything indecent, keep your pervert thoughts to yourself

Tae: I know, I know, Sprout. We're going out tonight, okay?

Haru: sounds good!

Tae: how's that shot treating you, Haru? Feeling less dysphoric?

Haru: it may just be my mind, but, yeah

The other Thieves just. Watch them be gay all the time and man.

Ann: it all makes more sense with them being gay. Makoto being that down bad for a man? Didn't make sense

Ryuji: yeah!

Akira: it does fit her better. Remembering those bits we saw from Hawaii, with this context, it fits Makoto better

Makoto: ...you what

Yusuke: we may wish to run now

The little period where they're living together, with Tae, it feels great

They have coffee at Leblanc alot, and get to just, exist

Makoto: ...okay I know I said multiple times that I'd have a kid for you but I'm glad I don't have to

Haru: im aware, Makoto. You and pregnancy don't really, make sense together

Makoto: nope. I'm so glad we didn't have to go that way

Haru: me too

Makoto: I love you so much, baby

Haru: I love you too

Tae: and I love this katsudon. Yum
