Okay. New little mini thing-
Makoto: ugh, tucking sucks,
The silent just: ...which are you...
Makoto, who forgot she's not out to the Thieves: Uhm. Are you-
Akira, who forgot no one knows about his night job: im- are you-?
Makoto: don't tell the others. I'll do it myself soon
Akira: girl I'd never?? Unless you asked me to
Makoto texting Haru like: going to the bathouse with Akira don't worry it's platonic
Akira: I couldn't tell at all, by the way
Akira: no, like. For real. It's why I was so caught off guard
Makoto: I, wow. Huh. I never think about that
Akira: also, I say this in a gay way. Girl, nice tits
Makoto: thanks, Haru tells me that a lot
Both grinning and laughing, having a good time
"you're a good guy, Kurusu."
"Thanks, Prez. You're not half bad."
Haru and Yusuke joining them next time. Transmasc they/he Yusuke and Haru, who. Is dating Makoto and knows a lot about queer culture,
All four sitting in the warm bath late at night, just chatting about anything
Haru resting her head on Makoto's shoulder, chatting with Yusuke about an art gallery they'd all gone to before hand
Yusuke rubbing at their sides, and Akira frowns and asks if he's been binding too long again
"I forgot, it gets away from me"
Haru: I can call you every day so you remember to take a break? Or help you buy better ones?
Makoto, relaxed enough to actually look content: trust me, the expensive ones *do* make a difference in trans products sometimes.
Haru kisses at her cheek, giggling as Makoto pretends to melt into the bath more

Akira: I'm going to be in town. I'm. My parents are gonna have to accept it I'm not missing this opportunity
Ann: I have tons of room at my place? Uhm. What else can I do, oh god,
Haru walking into Ann's carrying a *very* loopy Makoto the first week of August, after finals and shit, their bags over her shoulder: hey, look who survived!
Makoto: they took my dick,
Yusuke, three days post op, from the couch: I'll take it

Haru: later, Mako-chan, pussy party later. You need to rest and heal first!
Ann: I made a joke before she went under about celebrating with a pussy party
Ryuji with his new crutches, hobbling around to try to kiss his partner, and Sumire and Akira swooping in cause he almost fell on Yusuke's chest-
Akira: ...having three of them recovering at once may have been a mistakr
