Both of them lightly chuckled before S/O backed off, still holding onto Leva's arms. To which they noticed the unusual patterns all over her frame.

(S/O) "What happened...?"

(Leva) "Could ask you the same thing, but I assume the answer's probably the same. Long story?"

(S/O) "Something like that...I'm glad you're safe after all this time."

Taking a deep sigh of relief, Leva gently squeezed S/O's shoulders as she stood on the tips of her toes-

And pressing her lips against S/O, closing her scarred eyes.

(Leva) "...Me too."

(Lenna) "S/OOOOOOOOO!~-"

As soon as the Elmo's Command Bridge doors slide open, Lenna bolts through it like a bat out of hell to tackle S/O into a hug.

After recovering from such force, their eyes went wide, as did their smile.

(S/O) "Nine?!"

With a cheeky grin, Lenna nuzzled herself into S/O's neck, the two of them loudly laughing.

Leaving Groza to clear her throat as the Commander and Mayling looked at each other awkwardly from the PDA.

Lenna helped S/O up, but continued to latch herself onto their arm, hugging it tightly.

(Lenna) "Lenna! Call me that instead, S/O! It's good to see you again!"

(S/O) "Still the same as ever, thank god...!"

Lenna proudly kissed S/O, ignoring the increasingly flustered members of the Elmo as they desperately and silently pleaded for them to show more tact.

Once the briefing was over, Lenna nearly dragged S/O back to their room, excitedly jumping.

(Lenna) "Come on, we got to eat first! I wanna hear all about what you've been up to!"

(S/O) "Gladly."

Klukai adjusts her hat so that her eyes are visible when S/O entered the room.

Watching them freeze upon realizing who was standing across from them makes her chuckle, though the expression grows softer as she stops leaning against the wall.

(Klukai) "Miss me?"

(S/O) "416...?!"

Walking up to them as a million questions fell from their lips, Klukai puts a single finger on S/O's to silence them.

With a single and sudden hug that she melts into, the T-Doll kissed their cheek and confidently puts a single hand to her hip as she backed up.

(Klukai) "That's a yes, as it should be. Of course, I was worried about you too. No one else but me can properly keep you safe, after all."

S/O smiled, albeit a bit dryly at that.

(S/O) "Even after all these years, you haven't changed a bit."

(Klukai) "Why change perfection?"

S/O laughed loudly at that, making Klukai's core stutter, moreso when they held her hand.

(S/O) "I should know better than to ask that, shouldn't I?"

(Klukai) "Hm.~ Damn right."

Mechty yawned as she waited outside the door to S/O's dorm. Just how long were they going to keep her waiting?

It's already been twenty seconds! Knocking again, she could hear S/O's voice from the other side.

(S/O) "Sorry, heard you the first time! Just putting some stuff up, who is it?"

Mechty pouted, her voice drowsy as ever, but she had never felt more awake in her life.

Especially since it had been nearly a decade since she had last heard their voice, the corner of her lips turning into a small smile.

(Mechty) "Someone who wants to take a nap on your bed."

Silence.

Then, Mechty heard frantic footsteps rush to open the door, revealing her S/O. Shock was written all over their face, and Mechty would be lying if she didn't feel at least a little bit the same as them.

(Mechty) "You look old."

(S/O) "E-...Eleven...? Am I dreaming?-"

(Mechty) "Not yet."

Mechty invited herself in and sluggishly hugged S/O, hearing them sniffling shortly after as they returned a tight hug.

With a soft hum, Mechty sank into their arms, not realizing just how much she missed this comfort.

(Mechty) "Your hugs still feel nice."

(S/O) "Hah, is this how you greet me after all this time?"

(Mechty) "Yup. Is this what you wanted?"

(AK-15) "My apologies, I did not mean to do that."

15's grip is already insanely strong, to say nothing of her tickle strength could potentially break S/O's bones by mistake.

She doesn't actively go out of her way to tickle S/O, even though she has full knowledge of where they're sensitive.

Only doing so if asked directly, and even then she doesn't really know why S/O likes it.

(AK-15) "I understand the concept S/O, but it still alludes me as to why humans laugh so much when touched in certain ways."

(RPK-16) "What beautiful noises, S/O. And how interesting that I have to touch you like this-"

16 finds S/O's reactions fascinating, in more of a 'why do humans even have this function' kind of way.

Regardless it gives her some form of amusement, so she doesn't particularly mind.

And judging by S/O's blush and the fact they weren't pushing her away, they probably don't either.

(RPK-16) "You say to stop, but I'm not seeing you object through your laughter.~"

(Angelia) "Hm. Isn't that cute."

Angelia said in the most deadpan voice ever.

Truth be told, she does find it adorable but knows that if she did it every single time they talked, it'd lose its magic.

So, she only weaponizes her knowledge whenever she wants to fluster S/O.

(Angelia) "Oops. Sorry, my hand glitched out near your stomach. Funny how that happens, isn't it?"

(M16A1) "Well now, aren't you just adorable, S/O?"

Her (metaphorical) heart absolutely melts how S/O turns to putty at her touch, even moreso by the sound of their laughter.

Though sweet as it is, she has now found her 'get out of jail free card' if S/O ever gets pouty on them for drinking.

Which her tickle attacks get worse when she's drunk, substantially so.

(M16A1) "C-C'mere! Heh, no need to slink away, I won't getcha! Promise!"

That was a lie.

(M4 SOPMOD II) "TICKLE ATTACK!"

S/O's life is forfeit.

The moment SOPMOD learned how much they laughed when her fingers brush against their skin, she will launch an ambush anytime, anywhere.

Company in the room be damned.

(M4 SOPMOD II) "Hah! Good thing I don't have such weaknesses!"

(UMP9) "Oh, S/O~! Where are you?~"

A tickle ambusher as well, but somehow even more lethal.

Because she doesn't always do so, always striking when it's least expected.

And with how physically affectionate she is, this means that it's always a gamble when getting close to her.

Furina manages to get S/O to at least feel happy with her company, even if she had no idea what to do other than pace around nervously.

When she's out of earshot and they're sleeping somewhat comfortably, she takes a deep sigh, thankful she wasn't entirely useless.

(Furina) "Thank goodness they'll be okay..."

Chiori raises an eyebrow the moment she hears her S/O cough violently.

(Chiori) "Come down with something?" sigh "Oh well, guess I can open a little later than usual."

Even if S/O protests that they're fine, Chiori is hearing none of it.

First she makes sure to get everything they need, ranging from food or medicine and looks back from the door.

(Chiori) "I'll be back once I close up shop. Make sure you follow the instructions on that."

She won't baby anyone, since she trusts S/O to take care of themselves.

But should they get worse, she won't hesitate to close up, at least for a little bit, and experiment with her clothing at home with them.

Chiori would much rather deal with S/O's illness than having to deal with illness the customers give her by just breathing the same air.

Clorinde has her duties to attend to, but she reassures S/O with a gentle squeeze of their hand.

(Clorinde) "I will return home as quickly as I can with medicine, until then please rest up."

Clorinde is a little nervous leaving them alone and getting peace of mind once she's actually back and not dealing with the drama of the court or the public in general.

Even though it's unfortunate S/O got sick, she is at least happy to spend the time with them that she can.

And more importantly, that she's here to help take care of them when they need it most.

Clorinde puts a warm towel on their forehead, a small smile forming once she sees their body relaxing.

(Clorinde) "Are you feeling better, S/O? Here. This is from a lesser-known restaurant I enjoy, their soup is quite refreshing."

With a snap of her fingers, Navia already has a gaggle of men under her command fetching medicine, food, entertainment.

Whatever S/O required, they would get it!

As for her, Navia did not intend to leave their side, not really caring about the risk of getting sick.

She hated getting sick herself, and she knew how boring it'd be to rest in bed.

Instead, she regales S/O with tales from her childhood, interesting things she's learned, or even just enjoying the time with them in an intimate silence.

As long as they were smiling and not thinking about how sick they were, it was mission accomplished.

(Navia) "Ah, that must be our food arriving! Allow me to set up the table-...Hm? No no, stay right there! I insist that we have nothing short of an exquisite atmosphere! A better atmosphere is a better state of health, I'd say!"

This was an area of expertise Xianyun was well researched in.

Taking care of her many disciples when they were younger, this really was no problem for her.

There was nothing quite as refreshing like Adeptus Medicine!

...Well, it could actually be too refreshing since it wasn't particularly made for mortals in mind. Especially the taste, according to Shenhe.

Regardless, they could heal the body in no time, but there was nothing better to help with it than a well made soup!

Made by her personally, of course.

(Xianyun) "One has prepared a broth to help with your stuffy nose, S/O. Be sure to drink it all, it will warm both the body and soul!"

Xinyan is rushing around the harbor, grabbing every medicine she knows that always helped her in a pinch.

(Xinyan) "Here ya go, S/O! These herbs taste gross, but they'll pack a heckuva punch for that cold ya got!"

She practices her guitar while sitting next to S/O, keeping in mind of the volume the entire time.

As long as S/O wanted some company, anyway.

Xinyan will constantly check their temperatures and bring them some homemade food, smiling when she sees them laughing or relaxed on the bed.

(Xinyan) "Heh, that herb tastes gross, don't it? I used to have them all the time when I was little, sure as heck don't like 'em nowadays!"

UMP45 would tease S/O for getting sick, with a little bit of a softer expression than usual if they were alone.

(UMP45) "Aw, you got sick? Well, good thing I'm a T-Doll. Have fun with that.~"

She hangs out with S/O on the bed, giving her an excuse to not go out that day.

Depending on how severe the sickness was, she would dial back her usual snarky attitude more and more.

If anything, these kinds of moments is what she wished for, once she no longer had to fight.

But for now, UMP45 would just have to make do with these fleeting domestic dreams.

(UMP45) "...Hm? I'm lost in thought? Nah, that's just your sickness messing with your head."

UMP9 is on the case!

(UMP9) "No worries, you won't get bored while I'm here!"

She immediately plops down onto the bed, giving warmth to S/O if needed! The base was in a colder region after all.

UMP9 would talk about excitedly about all the things she had in mind to S/O, to at least get their mind off being sick!

Plus she didn't really have to worry about getting sick herself. so there was no harm!

She'd also bring all sorts of treats and food from the Cafe, even if S/O couldn't really eat it.

(UMP9) "Here's some soup! Now, say 'aaah'!"

(G11) "...Does that mean you won't be cooking dinner tonight?"

G11 sighs heavily, but whatever.

She knew there was one thing she could help with.

She immediately crawls into bed with S/O, letting herself be used like a giant teddy bear and promptly falls asleep from the warmth of S/O and the blankets.

(G11) zzz

To her credit, she at least makes sure S/O is never freezing cold, but other than sleeping, she doesn't really do much.

Unsurprisingly.

(HK416) "Tch, idiot. I told you, you should have been wearing more layers."

She rolls her eyes, but never really comments on the fact she is making sure S/O is bundled up properly, getting proper medication, and even spoonfeeding them.

Of course she's not babying them, they were a fully functional human, if anything they're wasting her time, making her do such mundane things!

(HK416) "And I'm not blushing, T-Dolls can't blush, dumbass."

Which her flushed cheeks were telling S/O otherwise.

In the end, she'll grumble and mutter under her breath, but never once will she actually hesitate to immediately jump into help S/O, unless UMP9 was teasing her.

WA sighs dramatically, immediately putting the blanket over S/O.

(WA2000) "Tch, don't get it in your head that I'm doing this because I'm concerned! It's so that you can get back to your duties already."

She is yet another German tsundere T-Doll that takes care of S/O perfectly, down to getting them a new towel down to the most precise nanosecond.

WA still attends to her duties, but S/O's room is where she returns the instant she can.

(WA2000) "Has your fever died down already?...Finally, next time take better care of yourself! What would happen if I wasn't here, huh?"

Helianthus has S/O attended to by medical officers, and makes a trip to them in person.

(Helianthus) "I'm glad to see it was nothing serious. I hope that it is a swift recovery, S/O."

In front of the others, she is extremely professional.

But in private, it's diminished somewhat but she is far more prone to getting flustered.

(Helianthus) "...W-Why do you look so surprised to see me? It's not as if we never see each other! Hmph, if you're trying to tease me, then you must be feeling better already. Then hurry up and return to your duties!"

Helianthus is far more comfortable when she knows they're remaining in the medbay and receiving the best care Griffin can offer.

Angelia is pretty neutral on the situation.

S/O got sick? Welp, sucks to be them.

Work doesn't really stop for her, but she'll at least pay a visit or three.

(Angelia) "Hey, still feeling like crap? Thought so. If you need me to grab you something, let me or any of my girls know."

Although her tone sounds dismissive, her real hand ruffles their hair affectionately before she turns to leave.

And if they can spare the time, Angelia orders DEFY to at least keep an eye on S/O until they fully recover.

Kalina pouts when she hears S/O had gotten sick.

(Kalina) "Aw man, now I gotta pick up your paperwork too, S/O! You wound my very soul!"

She's only mostly joking.

Kalina likes to bug them after her shift is over for the day, deflating on their bed and mumbling into their blanket.

(Kalina) "Did you know the Commander just plopped another stack of papers onto my desk the moment I said I was done! It's cruel!...STOP LAUGHING, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SICK YA LITTLE PUNK!"

Madoka has her work as an idol keeping her busy, but after work she pops by S/O's room, water and medicine in hand.

And as usual, her expression remains stoic.

(Madoka) "Hey, got some stuff for you. Move over for a sec."

She takes care of them without saying much. Her gaze is focused, yet soft.

And once Madoka is finished, she avoids looking at them directly, her voice a bit quieter than before.

(Madoka) "...It's a bit pointless to thank me, it's something anyone would do."

It could be S/O's imagination, but they thought they saw her face getting slightly red after helping them.

She gives their arm a slight squeeze in response, still averting her sight.

(Elphelt) "Just do what I do when I have problems! SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!"

Being a Valentine, she was pretty sure(???) that she couldn't get sick. At least, not in the same way a human could.

But she doesn't like to see anyone sad, her S/O especially.

Elphelt brings S/O all sorts of things to see that smile, such as bush dog plushies, bush dog photos, bush dog songs-

And sweets! Lots of sweets as well!

(Elphelt) "...What do you mean you can't eat cake right now?...Oh, you're right! Duh, I should've brought some ice cream instead! BE BACK IN A JIFFY!"

Before S/O can say anything, else, she's already gone.

At the very least, S/O won't be bored while they're sick.

Did Elphelt make them feel better?

Since STAR is on the shorter side for a T-Doll, she's able to squeeze in with S/O on the bed rather easily.

Not that it helps the blush on her face any.

(ST AR-15) "Um...I'm not uncomfortable, am I?"

(S/O) "The opposite, actually."

STAR lets out a small squeak when S/O wraps both their arms around her and pulls her into their chest.

In which she takes a deep breath and melts into their hold.

She could get used to this feeling...

Ah yes, SOPMOD, her girlfriend/boyfriend, and her smaller clone of herself in between.

Honestly, it feels being a family considering SOPMOD Jr is snoring happily away.

With her mother not being that far behind, to S/O's annoyance. But something about the sight was also endearing.

They were machines, but they sure as hell acted just as human as every other person S/O had met.

(M4 SOPMOD II) "Mehehhe...."

(S/O) "If anyone could dream of electric sheep, it'd probably be you, SOP..."

Surprisingly, the bed is comfortable with S/O, Junior, SOPMOD, and even Junior's Dinergate all sleeping together. If a little cramped.

RO is flustered to be sure, yet she still embraces S/O without question.

(RO635) "H-Here, you can scoot in a little if you're about to fall off."

(S/O) "Is this an excuse to hug you?"

(RO635) "I...!" sigh "No, but I won't mind..."

RO doesn't take long to succumb to S/O's embrace, smiling herself as she rests their head on her chest.

RO is definitely the big spoon on the bed, but her heart will melt if S/O decides to be it one night.

Not that she has the metaphorical heart to admit that aloud.

Especially since she felt so embarrassed with what they were doing right now to begin with.

45 is a bit teasing whenever S/O gets in close to her.

(UMP45) "Hm, if you wanted me next to you, you could have just asked.~"

(S/O) "H-Hey now, how was I supposed to know this place only had one bed?!"

Joking aside, 45 is a bit rigid at first when it comes to sharing a bed.

She was not used to such intimacy, T-Doll or human.

But its a sign of great trust since she even decides to share the bed, always having to look over her shoulder given the nature of her squad.

Her arms hesitantly snake around their back, but she eventually gives in and snuggles closer, feeling a little vulnerable doing so.

Zero hesitation!

(UMP9) "FINALLY! A fluffy bed!"

She didn't get much of a chance to sleep on one since her team was always on the move, and wasting no time she drags S/O with her to the mattress.

With a deep exhale of satisfaction, she hums to herself as she plops her head directly onto S/O.

(UMP9) "Hm...! Comfy!"

She giggles a lot before finally falling asleep, with the two of them holding tightly onto each other.

HK416 will mutter German profanities the entire time, but still gets into bed with S/O regardless.

Even if she is blushing the entire time, she'll never say that she wanted to share the bed.

(HK416) "Just scoot over already."

(S/O) "Hah, okay okay."

She won't initiate the cuddles first, but when S/O eventually hugs her, HK416 will just scoff.

As long as they didn't tease her, she wouldn't direct the swears at them.

Probably.

Floor? Tree? Bed? It didn't really matter to G11.

Sleep was sleep.

But she had to admit, sleeping in a bed with S/O was the comfiest.

Surprising no one, G11 immediately passes out with S/O holding her like a teddy bear.

(S/O) "Why are you always so tired...?"

(G11) "...I dunno. But your arms feel nice. Keep them on me so I can sleep..."

(S/O) "Hah, as you wish."

12's smirk grows by the second realizing the situation.

(AK-12) "Well, I suppose we have to share."

She'll 'accidentally' bump into S/O the entire time, claiming the reason was that she couldn't see in the dark.

Which was just a boldfaced lie.

(S/O) "12, do you really have to move around so much?"

(AK-12) "I have to get comfortable to sleep, S/O."

(S/O) "And that requires your arms to go all around me?"

(AK-12) "Is it? I couldn't tell!"

She said with a faux gasp, making S/O roll their eyes.

94 is comically stiff the entire time, trying to sleep completely straight as to not impose herself on S/O.

Only for that objective to fail when S/O grabs 94, unintentionally making her squeak at the sudden embrace.

(AN-94) "S-S/O? Is this not uncomfortable for you?"

(S/O) "I think I'd be moreso without you next to me."

Her cheeks flush at their flirting, and just lays with S/O on the bed.

Though a small smile begins to grow as she wraps her arms around S/O as well, loving the feeling of being needed like this.

Even for something so small.

15 did not mind sharing, though she had to be the big spoon, considering her size.

(AK-15) "If you need me to adjust, please let me know. I will be entering rest mode now."

(S/O) "Hah, doubt I'll need to."

WIth a hum, 15 closes her eyes as she lets S/O move closer into her hold.

Obviously by their vitals they were very happy about this arrangement.

At least the one bed made things more efficient, but she hoped that it wouldn't get S/O too excited since they were still jittery.

15 made no comment and instead let it slide, as long as it didn't affect S/O's performance.

Thankfully, 16 was a bit on the smaller side of Machine Gun T-Dolls.

The entire time, she has almost a sinister smile to her face upon realizing there was only one bed.

(RPK-16) "Oh? You look a bit nervous, S/O."

(S/O) "And you look a little too happy with this arrangement..."

(RPK-16) "I thought you liked being so close to me!"

Her voice pretends to sound hurt, though her amusement is clear to tell.

The entire time, 16 is just noting S/O's reactions to her movement and the very little space in between them.

If it weren't for the fact that this was an operation, she'd have tried something solely to gauge their reactions, but perhaps that was something to try at home.

Angelia is barely fazed, if at all.

(S/O) "There's only one bed?"

(Angelia) "Yup. I had it arranged this way."

Before S/O could begin asking, she already began undressing herself, waving her prosthetic hand dismissively.

(Angelia) "Saves us money instead of having to rent a bigger room. Plus, thought you'd like it."

(S/O) "I-I mean, I do but!-"

(Angelia) "Get flustered later, we need all the sleep we can get for tomorrow."

Despite her dismissive tone, she is pretty amused by their reaction.

If only this wasn't a mission, then she could really appreciate this situation.

Maybe when they got back, she could invite them over to her dorm, but those were later thoughts.

(UMP45) "Well, aren't you needy?"

UMP45 teases her S/O with a small kiss on their forehead before letting their back lay against the bed.

Truth be told, it's not like she knew how to do this sort of thing properly either.

But whatever, S/O probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

...Probably.

Regardless, UMP45 finds S/O absolutely adorable with how shy they were this moment, each kiss on their body making them squirm.

(UMP45) "Don't worry, I won't tease you for too much longer.~"

(UMP9) "U-Um...Okay...! I'll try my best, S/O!"

UMP9 was feeling just as shy as S/O was, but her energy was more than making up for it.

And now it looked like it was going to have to kick into overdrive.

Which was a good thing? Maybe?

A T-Doll could still hurt a human by being on top, but like hell she would make S/O doubt their trust in her!

She takes a few deep breaths before resting her hands to the sides of their head, nodding.

(UMP9) "O-Okay, I can do this...!"

(HK416) "...F-Fine, I guess I have to."

416 notices her S/O's shoulders slumping at her voice, in which she exhales, well imitates it really, and has one hand resting on their face.

416's thumb brushed against their cheek, nonverbally telling them to calm down, and that she didn't mean anything by that.

More than anything, she was flattered that they had that much confidence in a T-Doll that was designed for fighting, not love.

After fighting the rapid overheating that threatened to overtake her body, she has S/O hold onto her as they began kissing again.

Once they were fully relaxed, 416 moved lower and lower, a little smirk growing on her lips.

(HK416) "Relax, I...I'll make sure you chose right."

(G11) "Uh...okay...?"

Bold choice, considering S/O knew how G11 usually was.

G11 especially has no idea what the hell she was doing, but whatever.

And apparently, this kind of thing does help with sleeping so it should be fine.

As long as they both felt good, right?

After a few more minutes of very slow kissing, G11 makes S/O lay on their back as she lazily sits upright on them.

(G11) "...I...think I know what happens next...?"

G11 did not.

(AK-12) "Aw, don't be shy...But then again, you are cute when you're like this."

Despite 12's coy tone, she doesn't really hold it against S/O for not having experience in these things.

She sincerely doubted anyone at Griffin would, considering.

Regardless, she indulges S/O by having them quickly on their back and letting her hands roam across their chest.

Feeling them squirm underneath, she lets her eyes open as she gives them a wink and a growing smile.

(AK-12) "You can't ask for anyone better to take care of you than me.~"

(AN-94) "...U-Understood, S/O. Please leave it to me."

94 is a little more hesitant to take point on this specific matter.

She wasn't faring that much better, but S/O placed their faith in her for a reason.

It flustered her to no end, but it also made her quite happy, in which she instinctively started kissing them harder after the fact.

Holding both their hands, she straightens her back before speaking softer than before.

(AN-94) "I plan to repay you for all the love you've given me, S/O. Please, bear with me for a moment..."

(AK-15) "Very well, I will ensure you are cared for properly, S/O."

15 knew she had to be careful, if she used too much force she could accidentally break bones.

But besides that, she was only a little nervous on account of not having to deal with matters of the human heart and affection before.

She was a weapon first and foremost, but S/O still loved her. This was quite illogical to begin with, but...maybe that wasn't always a bad thing.

15's hands keep S/O's arms pinned to the bed as she narrows her eyes.

(AK-15) "Thank you for trusting me, S/O. Now, please relax."

(RPK-16) "Hm, a human trusting a machine for intimacy? Strange taste, S/O...Hah, relax, I'm just joking."

Well, if this wasn't an indication that S/O trusted 16 like she were flesh and blood, then she wouldn't know what would even if it hit her.

16 was more flattered than anything, and a bit curious.

If S/O trusted her with this, what else could she do to them?

Fun questions for later, maybe for right now they should probably survive their first intimate moment together.

16 leaves a kiss on their neck before giving a nibble and hearing them yelp, making her laugh.

(RPK-16) "I hope you'll show me all sorts of lovely noises tonight S/O. After all, you trust me. Right?~"

(Angelia) "Well, when you ask me so nicely.-"

Angelia had been kissing S/O fairly aggressively, until she realized just how quiet and flustered they had become from asking her that question.

Now, her real hand cupped their face gently, before slowing down in her passionate kiss, drawing out the moment until both of them were nearly breathless.

Angelia lets a soft chuckle come out of her before her hands trail down to S/O's waist, feeling them tremble from the cold of her prosthetic.

With one last kiss to their forehead, she starts rubbing their thighs before smiling at them.

UMP9's affection is very open, much like her personality.

Her heart has always been worn on her sleeve and isn't afraid to show it, especially in front of others.

Demanding hugs, kisses, piggy back rides, name an affectionate action, she has asked S/O for it.

She'll just stick her tongue out and blow a raspberry if anyone tries to call her out on PDA, in fact it just makes her double down.

(UMP9) "S/O!~ Let's go get dinner together, I'm hungry!"

And if S/O returns her affection, she'll just become even happier and more encouraged to display her love openly.

Much to the dismay of her squad, and everyone in the vicinity.

416 does not say what comes to mind easily, usually swearing under her breath while her face turns scarlet.

She is tsundere in every sense of the word, never admitting how much she loved S/O.

Sometimes she'll blush and curse if asked to cuddle, her body language showing more love than anything as she hugs them tightly.

Other times, she'll initiate a kiss or cuddling herself, with not an ounce of hesitation.

(HK416) "Hm, that kiss took your breath away, right?...No need to answer, I already know it did."

Conversely, she believes that S/O can not get any better lover than God's own gift that is herself.

It helps balance out the pendulum that is her shows of affection, constantly swinging between the most overconfident person, or the biggest Tsundere earth has ever seen.

Given how tired G11 is 99% of the time, the greatest show of affection she can give is that she actually tries to stay awake to spend time with S/O.

Does it work?

God no, it doesn't, she'll just plop her head on their shoulders, lap, back, wherever S/O is, she'll sleep on them like a cat.

That being said, the times it does, she usually has a soft smile and being with S/O makes her "recharge faster" in her own words.

(G11) "S/O, you need to wear something warmer so I can sleep better at night..."

Regardless of her perpetual comatose state, G11 likes to listen to S/O speak, their voice being soothing to her.

She hates noisy people, but S/O is the one person that she'll always try to stay up for.

And the moment it's something serious? She becomes wide awake, not daring to sleep for even a second while S/O was troubled.

9 almost tackled S/O into a hug as she walked through the dorm's sliding door.

(UMP9) "S/O! Hug me!"

S/O was startled but quickly returned her affection, laughing all the while.

(S/O) "Nine, welcome back!"

She nuzzled her head into their shoulders, making S/O blush, but she wasn't immune to the embarrassment herself.

9 has S/O sit down with her, regaling them on how the mission went with a big smile and cuddling even closer.

S/O felt lucky anytime she came home undamaged, getting to spend time before the next mission took place.-

(UMP9) "S/O? Are you listening?"

(S/O) "H-Huh? Oh, sorry was lost in thought-"

UMP9 began pouting, something that made S/O struggle to hold back a smile.

416 for once is not muttering something under her breath when spending time with S/O, her tsundere tendencies being completely absent.

Instead, there's a soft smile on both their faces as S/O leans closer into her with a book at hand, both of them reading in silence.

As long as they didn't tease 416 (As much fun as it was), or brought attention to their smile, S/O could at least enjoy the sight of her at peace.

Unless they stared at her too long with affectionate eyes, which would make her flustered.

Which unfortunately, they did.

(HK416) "W-What? Is there something on my face?"

(S/O) "Nah, just admiring how pretty you are."

She scoffs as a tinge of red dusted her cheeks, not meeting S/O's eyes.

(HK416) "F-Figures. After all, you can't get much better than me."

Feeling S/O peck against her cheek made 416 drop her own book as her core started overheating.

S/O fed G11 with a spoon as she lazily savored the soup, making S/O chuckle at her sleepy expression.

Granted, that's how she normally looked like but today it was cuter than usual.

Especially when she was staying awake solely to spend time with S/O, that fact alone warming their heart.

(S/O) "Taste good?"

G11 just hummed in response and sat closer to them.

(G11) "More please."

S/O felt her hand brush against theirs, wordlessly asking to be held. Something they had no trouble indulging G11 in.

G11's smile was subdued, but very much present as she just scooted closer each bite, S/O not minding at all.

12 leaned her head back as S/O brushed it gently, straightening it out while talking about nothing in particular.

She wasn't entirely used to getting pampered like this, but 12 had no objections to having this be a common occurence.

Her eyes remained closed the entire time, but she did enjoy the feeling of S/O's hands on her frame.

(S/O) "Your hair is really soft..."

(AK-12) "It's hard to maintain this, y'know?"

(S/O) "I wasn't even aware you did at all."

She pouted at that, her brows furrowing ever so slightly.

(AK-12) "I'm not a savage, S/O. I have to at least make myself presentable."

(S/O) "O-Oh sorry! I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that T-Dolls didn't really have normal hair-...Agh, I'm making this worse.-"

Immediately breaking her facade, 12 giggled and let her hand brush against their face.

(AK-12) "Relax, I know what you mean."

Now it was S/O's turn to pout, something that 12 didn't need to open her eyes to see.

94 had no idea how to just "relax" and do nothing, but that was something S/O was happy to teach her.

Which led to S/O and 94 watching a tv show together.

The entire time, 94 had a very inquisitive expression, something that made S/O laugh with how intense she looked.

She then turned her attention to S/O, confused at their laughter.

(AN-94) "Did something funny happen? This scene seems quite serious."

(S/O) "No, it's not the show it's just...You look really cute right now, Ninety-Four."

Her eyes widened at the compliment, her hand slightly fidgeting from the compliment.

(AN-94) "Ah...Thank you."

She leaned closer to S/O, their response wrapping an arm around her waist and making her smile.

15 was opposed to just standing around and doing nothing, but S/O had managed to convince her to take a rest.

But to make the most of it, S/O had asked 15's help with cooking.

She was very logical and by the book when it came to the recipes at first, until S/O had showed her a family recipe.

(AK-15) "Wouldn't this make the dish too salty?"

(S/O) "No, it actually balances out! We add soy sauce to the rice while its frying in the pan to make it brown, and-"

The entire time, 15's attention was solely focused on S/O as they spoke, only after a few minutes did they sheepishly rub the back of their neck.

(S/O) "A-Ah, sorry! I'm probably boring you with my family's past, aren't I?-"

15 immediately shook her head and responded.

(AK-15) "No. It's something that matters to you, and couldn't be boring to me. Please, continue."

Though her expression and voice remained stoic, her eyes didn't budge once from S/O's face, making them smile.

(S/O) "Hah, right. Would you like to try what my family taught me then?"

(AK-15) "I'll be under your care, S/O."

(S/O) "Hah, it's just rice! Nothing that serious...B-But uh, try to be careful with the pan, I think you might accidentally rip the handle off with your strength."

(AK-15) "...I will attempt not to damage your cooking utensils, S/O."

S/O and 16 stepped into the shower together, with S/O blushing madly at the beautiful woman behind them.

16 giggled at their reaction and teasingly leaned in.

(RPK-16) "Is something the matter, S/O?~"

(S/O) sigh "Don't tease me too much, okay?"

(RPK-16) "Hm, alright. Humans are strange, you know I'm not human but you're having this kind of reaction."

(S/O) "I think anyone would be if they were sharing a shower like this!"

Much to S/O's surprise, she did as they asked and didn't tease them, instead just making small talk and washing S/O's back for them, with S/O doing the same for her.

It was actually relaxing, as both of them felt the stress of the day melt away from the hot waters.

(RPK-16) "...If I may ask, would it not be more refreshing for a cold shower, considering you were sweating in the training hall-"

(S/O) "Ugh, god no. We're supposed to be getting ready for bed, not shocking me awake..."

16 giggled at their reaction, making S/O dread what she had planned in the future with that information.

Angelia was typing something on her computer, compiling a report of the previous few missions and some other logistics for the Commander.

Before S/O had brought some coffee for her, sitting beside her and giving a loving kiss to her cheek.

Angelia gently grabbed their wrist with her prosthetic arm as she continued typing with one arm, lovingly brushing her thumb across their hand.

(Angelia) "Thanks."

(S/O) "Geez, how much reports do you have to turn in, Ange?"

(Angelia) "Hm, a few more then there shouldn't be anything pressing after that. But I'm sure my girls will bring something to my attention."

S/O sighed dramatically as they leaned into her shoulder.

She didn't turn her attention from the screen, playfully shoving S/O off her with a small grunt.

(Angelia) "Relax, you'll get your time with me soon, just be patient."

(S/O) "Sure I can't indulge myself right now?-"

(Angelia) "We both know what'll happen if you try."

(S/O) "Do I?"

Angelia's eyes glanced over to S/O with a clearly unamused look, but she sighed as she finished typing before turning over to them.

And promptly pinched their cheek with her prosthetic, a little smirk growing at their reaction.

(S/O) "OWOWOW!"-

(Angelia) "Don't be a smartass and lemme work. Unless you want me to get AK-15 to throw you out."

S/O rubbed their cheek before sighing.

(S/O) "The worst part is that Fifteen would do that..."

(Angelia) "Any of them would, really. I'd like to see 94 try it."

(S/O) "...Y-You wouldn't order them to do it, right?"

Eula is also in the camp of "not used to being treated with love."

Again, she was used to servants doing these sorts of menial tasks, but S/O did not seem to mind.

It wasn't entirely strange, since gender roles for these kinds of things was quite the old way of thinking, even for the Lawrence clan.

But it weirded her out more because she just wasn't used to having meals made for her, or any type of thing done for her.

(Eula) "Dinner is great tonight, thank you S/O. Remind me to cook for you as well, lest I have my ven...-"

She gives up halfway, seeing S/O's confused expression.

(Eula) "N-Nevermind. Thank you."

She doesn't mention this to others mostly for her pride.

But it was also she wanted this part of S/O to herself.

(Rosaria) "Thanks."

Rosaria had not felt this type of love in a very long time.

She knew for a fact she would never be used to S/O being at home for her.

But she was grateful. S/O was always there at night to provide her a meal and bandaging for her wounds.

They were concerned of course, but she wasn't bombarded by questions of what she was doing or why she was injured.

It was less being submissive and more S/O trusting her. And that meant more than any meal cooked to Rosaria.

The least she could do is return that trust, even if it made her feel anxious.

She still encourages S/O to get out and do some of their own hobbies as well. The last thing she wants to do is confine them. This is the city of freedom after all.

POWER COUPLE

Admittedly, Springfield is a stay-at-home kind of wife herself, so her and S/O get along swimmingly!

The two work with the other T-Dolls at the cafe and are jokingly teased about being an old couple already with the way they act.

The two are always seen together smiling, their homely natures working to great effect at making others relax in their presence.

(Springfield) "Hm, am I cooking dinner tonight S/O, or are you?"

It's a constant battle at home of who will spoil the other, and the two unfortunately do not care about their PDA antics, meaning other T-Dolls and humans will have to suffer in their lovey-dovey presence.

May god (or the Omnissiah) have mercy on anyone in their vicinity, because Springfield and S/O certainly won't.

15 stopped asking S/O why they did the things they did a long time ago.

She did not need to eat, the Dorms were usually pretty clean, and she truly had no preference for a bath, considering T-Dolls were not made for water.

Yet S/O offered it anyways. It was clear they were being polite, and it was appreciated.

(AK-15) "...S/O, your actions make no sense to me at all. But...it is appreciated. If it would make you happy, I suppose I can accept at least a meal."

15 was the type of woman to not like anything pointless being done, but she could tell there was a purpose with what S/O was doing.

They loved her. That was reason enough.

She could at least understand that.

And...it made her happy. She didn't even know she could blush before S/O offered her a meal for the first time.

But her death glare comes back if anyone remotely teases her or S/O.

Usually, RO was the type to bend over backwards for her subordinates and higher ups.

So it was a nice change of pace having someone do so for her. Something RO is eternally grateful for.

She makes sure to always thank them and appreciate their company as her stress melts away the moment she comes into a hug from S/O.

(S/O) "Busy day again?"

(RO635) "SOPMOD found the strangest place to stick her head in, and a horde of animals escaped the rescue station..."

(S/O) "The usual then?'

(RO635) "The fact this is "usual" should really say something about how we operate as a base..."

No living soul ever knows about her with S/O, as her usual professional demeanor completely vanishes the second she steps through their door.

Unfortunately for her, T-Dolls are not really "alive" by a technical definition.

Which is to say, M16A1 and SOPMOD tease the absolute hell out of her and S/O.

(UMP9) "Honey, I'm home!~"

UMP9 completely embraces S/O's tendency to be a stay-at-home.

One of her desires was to have a real family anyway, so this was just one step ahead!

She glomps her S/O everytime she comes back from a mission, ready to accept a meal, a bath, and S/O.

UMP9 makes sure to give back in the relationship so they know it isn't one sided.

She also could not care less of who sees them together acting like the most stereotypical couple.

She loves every single second of it.
