She sat down next to them, kicking her feet up on the table as they rubbed their eyes.

(S/O) "Ugh, yeah. I was just going over a few reports but I must've nodded off..."

Leva just giggled at that and kicked her shoes off to the floor before leaning onto them.

(Leva) "Here, lemme take a look."

(S/O) "What? But I don't want to make you do more work-"

Her red metal arm raised a finger to their lips, quickly shutting them up and turning their face red. Though she giggled at the sight, it didn't take long for her to lift it off and speak.

(Leva) "Shush. Sooner we get this done, the sooner you can sleep properly. Take a page from Mechty's book."

(S/O) "I'd rather not get throttled by Klukai, thanks."

Leva gave an amused hum to that, glancing over S/O's report before motioning them to the bed.

(Leva) "If you're good and listen to what I say, I might have a little reward for you.~"

She laughed as soon as she saw their flustered reaction, but truly relaxed once she saw them lie down.

With a quite smile, she went back to reading, thinking to herself how lucky she was to still be able to do this with them, even after so long.

(Groza) "...S/O."

Groza watched with a small frown as her beloved's head lifted from the counter, a small bit of drool hanging off their lip.

(S/O) "Ugh...How long was I out for?"

(Groza) "It is 2:37 AM. What are you doing in the kitchen still?"

S/O got off from the stool and stretched, yawning loudly all the while.

(S/O) "I was trying to clean up for Mayling and the Commander, but guess I was more tired than I thought."

Groza gave a little sigh and firmly grabbed S/O's hand.

(Groza) "If you need help, please just ask next time. I'm always happy to."

(S/O) "But, you already work so hard keeping us safe. I don't want to just burden-"

She squeezed their palm firmly, enough to cut them off and listen.

(Groza) "Insufficient rest can lead to disaster. Do you remember the first few months trying to get the Elmo operational?"

Now S/O began sighing, nodding as they recalled just how fatigued they all were trying to work nonstop. It led to more problems than it helped solve them.

(Groza) "And you'd never burden me. Don't forget that."

Groza gave a small peck to their cheek before motioning them to the door.

(Groza) "I'll at least help you get into bed. We can finish in the morning."

Springfield noticed that S/O had fallen asleep on the Café's couch a while ago.

Of course, that sight alone would've made her smile, but right now was something very cute!

Many of the Café's cats slept all around S/O, some even resting on their lap!

She couldn't help but giggle, with Centaureissei, Makiatto, and Sharkry even taking notice.

(Springfield) "Oh, I want to wake you up so bad...!"

Instead, Springfield decides to take a picture of them and goes back to finishing the last of the cleanup.

A little while later, S/O eventually woke up but found they couldn't move.

(Springfield) "Hello, dear. Enjoying the company?"

(S/O) "What the...?!- They're all over me!"

Their reaction made her laugh, one hand moving to her mouth as she struggled to contain her volume.

(S/O) "C-Can you help get them off me?"

(Springfield) "But you look so cute with them! Surely you can let them sleep a liiiittle longer?"

(S/O) "We need to go home and sleep too, Springfield!"

(Robella) "I spoil you too much..."

S/O was practically latched onto her, hugging one arm tightly as they snuggled their head into her neck.

The bed creaked as she leaned her back into the wall, her eyes shifting over to her beloved.

They were SUPPOSED to only take a few minutes to shut their eyes, but now they were reaching the half hour mark.

Thankfully, they were in her dorm room, so there was no one to see this.

With that in mind, Robella shifted their head to rest on her chest so they could be a little more comfortable.

Brushing their hair with one hand, she fondly kisssed their forehead.

(Robella) "But...I suppose I need to make up for lost time, don't I?"

"Will you take this dance, my love?" S/O dramatically rolled their hand as they bowed. Springfield simply but tenderly accepted, their fingers intertwining as she led them to the lobby.

The song was now kicking into full force, rushing memories from her Neural Cloud forth. This was the song S/O had chosen for their wedding, and no matter how many times she heard it already since then, it always made her so happy. Especially when S/O started singing along-

"Don't go breaking my heart!-" S/O's body bounced along with the beat as they held both her hands, slowly stepping in a circle with her.

"I couldn't if I tried!~," Springfield giggled the lyrics out, hearing her beloved's singing voice try so hard to match the song...And she'd be the first one to admit it was pretty bad.

But it didn't put a hamper on their enjoyment the first time, and especially not now as the rain gently pattered against the windows, the song ringing out through the empty café.

"Oh honey if I get restless,"

"Baby you're not that kind!"

Springfield matched their energy as they continued to dance, singing with one another and laughing all the while. Even with all the clumsy twirling, side stepping, and nearly bumping into a few tables, they never let each other go.

It was moments like these that she'd be forever thankful that S/O was still in her life. Despite all the dangers leaving Griffin entailed, they had each other.

...

Springfield continued singing to herself as she cleaned the coffee machines. Even through rain, Makiatto, Centaureissei, and Sharkry were able to hear her giddiness as if she were screaming it. The latter two just smiled at their boss being in a good mood, while Makiatto's face was bright red.

(Makiatto) "C-Couldn't S/O wait for us to leave before flirting so openly with you like that...?!"

(Sharkry) "Aaww, is somebody jealous?"

(Makiatto) "Tch! S-Shut up!"

Springfield said nothing and instead sang uninterrupted, stealing glances at S/O who was openly laughing at their friend's flustered reaction.

(Centaureissei) "S/O, please take care to not drop the mop."

...

Springfield wanted an excuse to bring out the dress so they could properly dance, instead of stealing little moments like these, fond of them as she were.

Lisa blinked in surprise when S/O moved to checkout a massive amount of books, a pile so tall that she couldn't even see their face.

(Lisa) "I don't think I need to tell you that you can only rent a few books at a time, do I?"

S/O grunted as the pile of books slammed onto the table, with them wiping a bead of sweat off their forehead and turning to Lisa.

(S/O) "I need to find out all I can on how love works!"

Lisa and S/O had been dating for at least nearly a month now.

(Lisa) "...You don't now?"

S/O shyly rubbed the back of their neck, unable to meet Lisa's emerald eyes.

(S/O) "Not...as much as I'd like. I just wanna make sure I'm doing a good job for you is all."

That got Lisa to smile, brushing past the books and giving a smooch on their cheek, causing their face to quickly flush a cute shade of red.

(Lisa) "It's not something you can read about, for the record. But for what it's worth, you're doing a good job already."

Springfield's small laugh echoed throughout the empty cafe, the T-Doll resting a hand under her chin as she turned to S/O.

(Springfield) "Frankly, I'd be amazed if anyone knew exactly how love works, human or not."

S/O's eyes shot up in surprise, turning to their girlfriend.

(S/O) "Not even you?"

Springfield shook her head, taking another sip of her coffee.

(Springfield) "Especially not me. I have ideas of what love is, and I know I can feel it, similar to how humans do. But I'd be lying if I knew what it is. But that doesn't bother me."

Springfield leaned over, her head resting on their shoulder as she took a deep breath, smiling as she did so.

(Springfield) "It's something that we can learn from each other, I think."

S/O's heart quickened as Springfield looked up at them, a genuine yet nervous chuckle coming out as they felt her hand reach for theirs.

(S/O) "I think I've got a lot to learn compared to you."

Arlecchino's sharp gaze doesn't flinch as she's slowly tearing off S/O's shirt, one of her darkened fingers trailing down to their chest.

Despite how much S/O is squirming and avoiding to meet her gaze, Arlecchino pays it no mind and continues to study their body.

It was enticing to her, knowing that S/O belonged to her, and nobody else.

Which meant that there was no problem with her getting to see S/O's body with no obstructions.

One of her hands grab's S/O's face and forces it to look at her while the other quickly yanked their waist forward, making S/O yelp in surprise.

(Arlecchino) "Keep your eyes on me, S/O. I want to see all your reactions perfectly."

Arlecchino had the faintest appearance of a smirk as the hand on S/O's waist slid down underneath their pants and removing it, watching S/O flush red.

(Arlecchino) "Hm, much better."

Clorinde takes care to not rip any of S/O's clothing, lifting their shirt off slowly as both their breathing gets heavier by the second.

She can't help but admire their chest, with one hand brushing across it and just gently squeezing it with her fingers.

Seeing S/O's face, they were bright red. Clorinde doubted that she was faring much better, but it didn't stop her.

With a nervous chuckle, she meets their eyes with a smile.

(Clorinde) "I do not think I've had much opportunity to say how beautiful you are."

To make things fair, she unbuttoned her own shirt and felt her chest bounce free, knowing S/O was staring right at them.

Now that she was matching them, she leaned in to kiss their neck, hearing S/O moan positively in response.

(Clorinde) "I will match the pace we're going...If you would allow me?"

Chiori had S/O standing as she was "measuring" them, despite the fact she was missing all of her tools inside the bedroom.

It was then S/O quickly realized what Chiori had in mind, as she hugged them from behind, deftly unbuttoning their shirt and hearing her hum.

(Chiori) "As good as you look with my clothes on, you look much better with nothing on, S/O."

Her voice had a teasing air to it as she promptly lifted their shirt above their head.

S/O's body twitched from her fingers rubbing themselves all over their stomach, but one firm hand pushing lower stopped them from moving.

(Chiori) "Ah, no moving until I say so. I'm still measuring after all."

She unzipped their pants before yanking it down, a small chuckle coming from Chiori as her hands moved up from their stomach to their chest, her breath hot on the back of their ears.

(Chiori) "Good, keep still like this."

Furina took a deep breath, mostly to steady her own nerves, before moving to slide S/O's jacket off.

(Furina) "...N-No, I don't need help! I can do this!" Probably...?

Every few seconds she hesitated to continue as the embarrassment building up within threatened to explode.

...There was also the heat she was deliberately avoiding to mention while finally working up the courage to take their shirt off.

Furina stared with her mouth agape before quickly shaking her head and closing her eyes, fists clenching.

(Furina) "D-DON'T TEASE ME, OKAY?! I'M TRYING MY BEST!"

(S/O) "...But I didn't say any-"

(Furina) "I demand silence! Just...give me a moment to compose myself!"

It took a full thirty minutes for her to remove both their clothing, and somehow that made her more flustered than the fact they were both naked.

Rosaria skips straight to the main course, no hesitation or waiting.

Immediately, she goes for their pants and yanks it off, throwing it behind her as it hits the bedroom walls.

And without warning, she bites the inside of S/O's thigh, making them moan as her hands keep S/O's waist locked in place.

(Rosaria) "Quit squirming, or I'll bite you harder. Then again, you'd probably like that."

Rosaria kisses each spot that she gives a hickey to, teasing S/O by touching them everywhere except the one place they were almost begging, making her smirk.

(Rosaria) "Maybe I'll listen if you strip for me first."

If they wanted her, Rosaria was going to make S/O work for it.

As much as she loved S/O, there was some bit of sadistic pleasure knowing that they went along with her demands solely because it was her, knowing they'd refuse anyone else.

And she was going to live that fact up to the fullest tonight.

Shenhe simply takes off all her clothing, setting it to the side neatly, and doing the same with S/O under a minute.

Then she...just sat there.

(Shenhe) "Our clothes are off now, S/O. Is there anything else you wish for me to do?"

It was a little awkward. Shenhe didn't really know how to be seductive or erotic.

Yet, it was her blunt way of just instantly getting them naked that made her all the more endearing, cutely tilting her head in confusion at S/O's flustered expression.

(Shenhe) "Your face is heating up. Are you feeling alright?"

It took S/O a few minutes to explain to Shenhe what they wanted to do with her.

In which she nodded, and complied.

(Shenhe) "Please relax, I will make you feel good."

M4 reverts to her demure self for a few seconds before quickly regaining composure.

She strips down herself to match S/O, feeling her own core heat up from doing so.

M4 laid S/O on their back before giving them a kiss, her hands sliding down to the sides of their waist, feeling a slight twitch as she did so.

She smiled gently, a quiet but pretty giggle escaping her lips.

(M4A1) "You're cute when you're like this, S/O."

Leaning down, she kissed them on the nose, both of them laughing as she situated herself on top.

(M4A1) "Please, let me repay your love and kindness tonight."

M16 was surprisingly not drunk as she took off her clothes and frantically doing the same with S/O's, her hands struggling to unbutton their shirt.

(M16A1) "Damn...stupid...!-"

Pouting a little when S/O helped her, she sat by their side, dumbly staring as her one visible eye not so subtly stared below their waist.

(M16A1) "...U-Uh, right. We should get that off too, huh?"

Her usual bravado and confidence is gone, not used to sharing such an intimate moment with someone she loved.

Nor did she even expect to have someone she loved this way to begin with.

(M16A1) "Don't make too much fun of me, alright...Can...you help me take off my skirt?"

Smugly humming to herself, 12 has no issues taking S/O's clothes off, even with her eyes literally closed.

(AK-12) "Mind if I take a peek, S/O?~"

Her glowing pink eyes opened and studied S/O's body with growing interest, nothing left to imagination anymore.

12's hands teasingly brushed up on S/O's thighs, before moving underneath their pants and feeling them freeze up.

(AK-12) "Mind taking these off for me? It's getting in the way."

She could've easily done it herself as she was sitting behind them, but 12 figured it'd be more fun to make S/O do it.

And she was right.

94 nods and helps S/O out of their clothes relatively easily.

Though she is confused on what to do next, she could tell how nervous S/O was.

(AN-94) "I'm afraid I'll need instruction for whatever is next...Kiss you? V-Very well."

She closes the distance between their bodies as her small frame leans into them, slowly shifting their clothes off the bed as she does so.

Personally, she wanted to move them into their proper places in the drawer, but she assumed S/O didn't really care about that right now.

If this made them happy however, it would make her happy.

(AN-94) "I will make sure we are both satisfied tonight. A-And...thank you for trusting me."

Springfield slowly takes off her own shirt, her large bust being freed and leaning into S/O.

(Springfield) "Let's get comfortable, dear."

She helps S/O's clothes off, all the while lovingly planting kisses on their neck, collarbone, anywhere skin revealed itself.

Sitting directly behind them, she didn't have a good view of what S/O looked like in the front with nothing on, but Springfield was going to change that.

Having them lean back onto her, she could now see everything perfectly fine as she let their clothes hang off the edge of their bedframe.

Though cuddling with Yae can lull S/O a somewhat sleepy state, somehow they feel like that's exactly what she wants.

Yae's smile seems to indicate she has something up her sleeve.

(Yae) "Oh? Why are you getting so antsy of all a sudden, S/O?"

(S/O) "I know that look, Miko..."

(Yae) "Do you now? Is it truly so mind-boggling that I too, can enjoy just some regular affection?"

...A moment of silence gives her the answer.

With a flick of their forehead, her hand playfully mimics a fox with her fingers.

(Yae) "Sorry to disappoint dear, but I just wish to spend some quality time today.~"

She of course, jumpscares them later to which she laughs endlessly about.

Yelan rolled the dice, and have dictated to her that she take a break.

And she wasn't really feeling like finishing the rest of work anyway, so this works out.

(Yelan) "Not planning on moving anywhere for a while, S/O?"

(S/O) "Guess not with you laying on me like this."

(Yelan) "Perfect, don't mind if I do.~"

Yelan rests her head on S/O's stomach and dozes off for a while.

S/O smiles as one hand brushes against her hair. Having her relax with them was a rare treat.

And though they didn't know entirely what she did, getting her to sleep with someone in the room meant she trusted them completely.

Plus, they knew Yelan would want to get dinner at some point tonight, no need to rush things, as she would say.

As the Astral Express is travelling through the stars, Himeko spends a good chunk of her time with S/O, close together on the couch.

Sometimes its drinking coffee together, sometimes its talking with the other crew members, and sometimes its even just sitting together in silence.

As much as their expeditions were ways for everyone to bond, it was the quiet moments like these that Himeko cherishes with her S/O the most.

After all, no one quite knew where their final stop could be, and-

(S/O) "Himeko?"

Himeko snaps out of her mini reverie and feels S/O grab her hand, turning to look at them.

(S/O) "You alright? You were spacing out a little there."

(Himeko) "Ah, don't worry, I'm okay."

Himeko lets S/O's head rest on her shoulder and she closes her eyes, committing this feeling to memory.

(Himeko) "I just want to stay this way for a little longer..."

Natasha lets S/O hold her after a long day, a feeling she very much welcomes.

(S/O) "Hey Nat, feeling tired?"

She hums in response, her body relaxing as their hand brushes some strands of hair out of her face.

(Natasha) "As always, my dear..."

S/O chuckled at that, and let her ramble on about her day, ranging from the state of patients or whatever shenanigans the Moles got up to.

Though she'd be right back to doing more tomorrow, for now she could at least enjoy the company of someone she loved.

It was nice to be pampered every now and then.

No objections from her when it comes to being looked after, instead of always the other way around.

Springfield's smile grows wider the moment she sees S/O come into her cafe.

(Springfield) "Welcome back, love."

(S/O) "Thanks. Mind if I get the usual?"

(Springfield) "Already in a cup."

Making S/O sit in a nearby booth, she finishes cleaning her cups before joining them, both of them snuggling into each other.

Though she was a T-Doll, the warmth she gave off was just as real as any human.

(Springfield) "Work around the base busy as always?"

(S/O) "Psh, especially when Kalina and the Commander have me running around!"

A soft giggle escapes her lips as one hand barely moves to cover it, letting S/O continue and listen intently, all while her arm wraps around theirs.

RO sighs when S/O asked to hold her.

She was still in the middle of processing some reports, but she supposed it wouldn't hurt.

At least no one was watching this time.

(RO635) "You have been working hard lately...Okay okay, come here..."

With a blush creeping onto her face, RO holds S/O tightly, and not giving them space to wiggle their way out.

Assuming they even would.

Hopefully, she wouldn't have to say out loud how much she loves them and that the blush on her would do all the talking.

(S/O) "RO, you're head is burning hot, you alright?-"

(RO635) "A-Ah! I'm fine just...j-just a little embarrassed."

(S/O) "I thought you'd be used to this by now-"

S/O turned to her in surprise, but their expression gave way to intrigue, as the T-Doll gestured for them to give her their hand.

Gently tracing their hand as if it were made of glass, Springfield rose them from the stool and guided them over to the Café's jukebox.

Without even looking, Springfield activated it and let a song play, one that was slow and jazzy, perfect for dancing to.

She wasted no time in grabbing their other hand as Springfield guided them along, dancing with all the grace they came to expect from her.

S/O's steps were a little clumsy, but judging from how big her smile was, and how flushed her cheeks were, Springfield didn't really care.

Part of Springfield wanted to be wearing her Ball Dress, that blue outfit always caught everyone's eyes the moment she walked in.

But that could wait.

Right now, this dance was only for her and S/O.

Seizing the moment, she closed the distance between them, first resting her head on their chest before sneaking in a kiss to their cheek, giggling quietly as she saw them blush from the gesture.

(Springfield) "You're adorable, you know that?"

Her giggles continued as she watched them avert their gaze in vain, gently tracing her fingers along their face to their chin, making them face back to her as she kissed the tip of their nose.

(Springfield) "Love you.~"

Himeko still has no idea what actually causes it, making her pore over how she makes her coffee longer than she'd care to admit.

(Himeko) "I've made no alterations, and yet their energy is off the charts! How can this be...?"

(Stelle) "Maybe the secret ingredient is love?"

(S/O) "ISECONDTHAT!"

(Himeko) "Well...I'm glad that my love can make you make the parlor clean...Perhaps a bit too clean."

(Pom-Pom's voice) "WHO WAXED THE FLOORS WITH A BAR OF SOAP?!"

(March 7th) "Wait a second, is that where my bathroom soap has been disappearing off to?!"

(Dan Heng) "Is...your door not locked?"

(Welt) "Oh, it certainly was. S/O didn't seem bothered by it, by the looks of it."

The Astral Express crew leaned over to see what Welt was talking about, only to see an outline of S/O through March's door.

Alongside several remains of what used to be her door.

(Himeko) "Did...none of us hear that?!"

(S/O) "HANGONICANFIXTHAT-"

(Stelle) "I think we need to sedate them.'

Springfield blends whatever her customers ask her to! S/O being no exception.

Though the first time she gave them coffee, Springfield noticed how bouncy their legs became, refusing to sit still for even a moment.

(Springfield) "Hah, too much sugar, dear?"

(S/O) "NOPE!FEELGREAT!"

Their instant response caught her off guard, even catching the attention of G36 and a few of the other T-Dolls in the room.

(S/O) "NEEDHELPWITHTHEDISHESSWEETIE?!HEREICANGRABTHEMONESECOND!"

And S/O leapt over the counter with a speed and grace that she hadn't seen before, impressing and scaring her in equal parts.

Watching as they yanked away a stack of plates from G36, both T-Dolls could only stand and watch as they were cleaned in record time, water spraying all over them from the faucet moving left and right so quickly.

(G36) "...Perhaps this was not such a good idea-"

(Springfield) "S-S/O! Please, hang on for a moment before you get hurt!"

(M4 SOPMOD II's Voice) "I WANT WHATEVER THEY HAD!"

(RO635's Voice) "Oh, no you don't!"

After nearly having whatever the T-Doll equivalent to a stroke was, Springfield finally got S/O to sit down.

But not before they had baked twelve dozen muffins and overloading the fridge with the newly made pastries.

And stuffing a dozen more into the Commander's fridge, resulting in Springfield banning S/O from drinking her coffee.

(S/O) "Sure you guys don't want any? This is a lot for just Himeko and I to dri-"

(Caelus) "I-I drank a lot of juice already, if I have any more, I'd need to go pee."

His response came very quickly at the prospect of trying any of the killer coffee couples' drink.

(March 7th) "...Second that."

(Himeko) "Hm, should I brew it then? You usually seem to drink mine everytime I offer."

(S/O) "Maybe I should make mine more bitter to match yours?"

(March 7th & Caelus's thoughts) Is that even possible?!

Springfield always appreciates another helping hand in the café, especially a human touch to it!

Usually she would brew the coffee to match whoever their customer is, and that varies all the time.

However, it touches her core that S/O would always keep a pot aside, special for her alone.

As soon as she steps in for the day, Springfield can see S/O pouring her a cup, alongside a muffin on a plate.

(S/O) "Morning."

(Springfield) "Did you get something for yourself as well?"

(S/O) "Doing that now."

Springfield smiled at that, waiting to dig into breakfast until S/O sat right beside her, the two enjoying a little bit of quiet before opening up.

Some of the other T-Dolls working in the café would occasionally tease Springfield, being jealous that she had her own spouse already.

Even though they weren't married, the idea made Springfield blush all the same, with a bright smile accompanying her too.

(Springfield) "Thank you as always, S/O. Do you want me to start making coffee for you too?"

(S/O) "No, it's fine! You already make me plenty of muffins, no need to add to it."

(Springfield) "Oh, are you sure?"

S/O chuckled, leaning against her shoulder in the seat.

(S/O) "Considering that I'm running out of space in my fridge to put them in, last thing I need is even more stuff to put up!"

(Springfield) "D-Do I really bake that much?"

(S/O) "...Yeah, it's honestly kind of scary how fast you can crank them out."
