Can haz imagine of Groza, Makiatto, and Leva coming back to the Elmo after a mission ended early to find their S/O is currently using the Dreamscape to try and fall asleep?
Peering into what they’re playing, they realize it’s a tender scene from their past, like how the current Dreamscape in game is of Groza and Commander waiting out a storm in a cabin!
How’d they react?
(GFL2) Groza, Makiatto, Leva, Robella, Alva, and Voymastina seeing their S/O's dreams
To sum it up: Dreamscape is like a VR that replays a memory.
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for waiting since like November for this ask LMAO
Groza lifted the headgear off her S/O, smiling at the sight of them sleeping peacefully.
She was about to put it up when...curiosity got the better of her.
And so, Groza decided to put it on herself, and watching the memory S/O had chosen to help them sleep-
==
...She remembers this scene. It was when they were first beginning to clear up the lower decks of the Elmo. Specifically, her and S/O were finishing up the pool in the Mirage Terrace.
Groza had barely managed to catch herself from falling, but in a panic S/O rushed over to try and save her.
Only to end up tripping themselves and letting out a terrified, but cute yelp. After helping them dry up, Groza sat very close to S/O to ensure they wouldn't catch a cold.
And for a long while, the two of them just cuddled with one another in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's warmth.
==
Putting down the headset, Groza smiled as her hand brushed a few strands of hair away from S/O's eyes.
Groza hadn't thought about that memory in quite a long while, but clearly it had more affect on S/O than she thought.
Besides wanting to not accidentally trip again, but hey. At least there wasn't anyone else around.
Groza was flattered more than anything, but if they wanted to cuddle like that they could've just waited a few more minutes for her to show up.
The heck was S/O doing, using the Dreamscape?
Makiatto began pouting, did they really need some stupid VR headset to help them sleep?
...Wait, were they dreaming of her? They better be!
Without thinking too much further, Makiatto carefully removed it from S/O's head and decided to take a peek into it herself.
==
(Reference to this post)
This was...Springfield's café. Yeah, she recognized the layout, but it wasn't the current one they worked at.
Wait, this was back at Griffin!
And sure enough, since this was S/O's perspective, the first thing Makiatto noticed was-
...Her younger self?!
"My real name...Makiatto."
Makiatto jumped in tandem with her past self, seeing S/O's hand wrap around her waist, then kissing her forehead.
"...I like it. It's sweet, like you.~"
==
Once she took it off, she let out a very loud sigh.
More importantly, why did it help them sleep?!
Well, she could guess why, seeing how close they remained as her own memories rushed back clear as day.
She's going to be all red in the face and annoyed, but in reality she's very touched that S/O still holds that memory so close to heart.
...Just like she did.
Leva was half tempted just to immediately hack the Dreamscape just to give S/O a fright.
...But she resisted, they deserved the rest after all. Though, there was nothing exactly stopping her from seeing what it was they were dreaming about.
And all it took was a barely a fraction of a second to immediately see what they were-
==
From what she could see of S/O's perspective, Klukai, Mechty, and Lena were also in this warehouse, setting up camp for the night.
Meaning...this was during their Griffin days. Now that this memory was playing out, this was when S/O was required to tag along for the mission, and S/O was adamant on not getting too comfortable, or get too touchy in front of the others.
And of course, she had to tease her for that.
But this was the night S/O finally relented, holding her almost like a plushie. The warmth they felt from her was...nice.
Now that she could somewhat experience it, no wonder they held her as tight as they did.
==
Leva smiled at the memory. If it wasn't for the Elmo, it would've been even longer before all five of them could reunite.
And even then, S/O still dreamt of her, no matter the time that passed.
Leva won't bring it up directly, but she'll bring it up to S/O once they wake up. And she'll find that they aren't so flustered holding onto her nowadays.
Something that makes her genuinely smile.
Robella knows she shouldn't peek.
This was a breach on S/O's privacy! It's not like they had anything to hide!
...Right?
With a quiet little sigh, she lifts the set from S/O's eyes, and stares at it for a few, painful seconds.
Finally ripping the band-aid off, she put it on-
==
It was only the first five seconds, and she could already feel her face getting warm.
It was the morning after they had reunited aboard the Elmo and they had gotten...rather affectionate, to say the least.
Robella was very flustered, but S/O just laughed it off, resting their head on her chest, nuzzling into it.
Now, Robella could recall how tightly they hugged her, refusing to let go for the next hour.
And she resigned herself that morning, holding S/O just as lovingly back.
Until they ruined it by suddenly tickling her, laughing even harder at the noises she made, before going back to kissing her and...
...Other things.
==
She was this close to waking S/O, preparing to lecture them on how they have such a dirty mind!
...Wait, wouldn't this make her look bad too since she peered into what they were looking at?
And...watched the entire thing again too?
Know what? Even though she feels embarrassed, she'll let it slide.
Mostly because how happy it makes her feel inside.
Alva finished pulling the blanket up to S/O's arms, nodding once they were comfortable.
As she moved to exit the room, she couldn't help but glance back at the Dreamscape headset again.
She was told alongside Voymastina and S/O when DEFY first arrived what it was, but it still didn't exactly click.
It lets you see memories? But...which memories?
And so, it didn't take too much longer for her to take a peek at S/O's-
=
It certainly wasn't the memory she expected, that's for sure.
Instead of being something from the past, it was relatively recent. Only two years ago, actually.
When DEFY actually had a moment to breathe, S/O had bought her a massive cat plush.
And she saw from S/O's perspective how big her smile was upon first hugging it, and using it like a pillow.
The two of them just cuddled, just talking about small gifts and where exactly the plush came from.
It was a rather mundane one, but it also was something Alva held close in her heart.
=
That would be their love to just...hold her, talking about nothing in particular.
Alva leaned over to gently kiss S/O's forehead, and left to finish her duties for the day.
Whenever it's a quiet moment for the rest of the week, Alva would find herself thinking back, knowing S/O was dreaming about it once again.
A thought that made her smile.
Truthfully, Voymastina did not want to look originally.
She respected S/O's space and privacy, but part of her wonder why they were using the Dreamscape.
Surely they didn't need that to assist in sleeping, unless they had trouble doing so lately.
A part of her would be disappointed if that were the case. Even after ten years together, it seemed like she still had no idea what to do in matters that weren't combat related.
But her troubles were put on hold the moment she picked up her own voice coming from the headset.
==
Once Voymastina put the set on, she realized that this was S/O's perspective.
...Yes, she recalled this moment. It was five years, three months, and two days ago, right after a particularly brutal training session.
S/O was just...holding onto her in the bed, feeling every single bit of their muscles aching in pain.
And as per usual, Voymastina just blankly stated that they need to continue, as their break time had exceeded six minutes past its original ending.
And as per usual, S/O managed to convince her to just stay like that for a while longer. After a few more minutes, Voymastina wrapped an arm around them in an attempt to be 'more affectionate'.
Now that she saw it from their eyes, this looked like she was about to break their neck, and yet they said nothing and smiled at her, from what she recalled.
==
Even now, Voymastina still felt like she had yet to reach the same heights of affection that S/O gave her so readily.
But S/O would always encourage her that she didn't need to force herself, and how she is was good enough for them.
Though, now watching the memory, a small part of her acknowledged that there had been significant growth since then.
And she hoped that S/O would know that she'd follow them and Alva to the end.
...Though if there was one thing watching that memory really told her, is that she needs to be more strict on timing, considering S/O would still weasel out of some training.
(GFL2) Leva, Groza, Springfield, and Robella finding their S/O asleep
Leva walked into S/O's dorm room, and couldn't help but giggle at the sight of them lying on the couch. Their head was resting on the side, holding onto a small pillow.
Leva shook S/O awake, smirking as they suddenly sat upright from the couch.
(S/O) "L-Leva?"
(Leva) "You know, you do have a bed just five feet to the left."
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?"
Thank God Soppo couldn't barge in right now and ruin the moment.
Could you possibly do a reacting to their ‘dead’ s/o actually being alive with Team AR and the officers? Sorry if it’s asking too much ∑(ﾟДﾟ)
(GFL) Reacting to their 'dead' S/O returning
Anti-Rain: M4A1, M4 SOPMOD II, ST AR-15, M16A1, RO635
Officers: Helianthus, Kalina, The Commander
First Part Here for context
In the wise words of Robot Chicken Boba Fett: "BACK FROM THE DEAD ASSHOOOOOLES-"
The moment the fighting is over, M4 takes a moment, just...staring at her S/O.
Part of her was wondering if there was something in the system malfunctioning. This wouldn't be the first time ghosts have come to haunt her.
But the moment they fell to their knees, all logic left as she dashed to catch them. And when her arms held them, it anchored her to the present.
(M4A1) "You're...you're alive?!"
(S/O) "Hah...I don't really feel like I am..."
Maybe it was a good thing T-Dolls couldn't physically cry after all. It allowed her to pick them up after adjusting her gear, holding them tight to her arms as she walked towards extraction.
(M4A1) "...I'm sor-"
(S/O) "Don't apologize...You did all you could that day."
Their head rested on her shoulders, tempted to close their eyes but considering the circumstances, that'd probably just make her more anxious.
Instead they kissed the exposed part of her shoulder, and let their arm hang around her neck, making M4 smile, albeit sadly at that.
(S/O) "But...all the pain I caused you. I can't even imagine it."
Her grip tightened at that, shaking her head.
(M4A1) "You're here now. That's all I care about.
There were so many questions she had, like how they managed to get out or why their vitals went offlie.
But that could wait. Because truly, right now, all she cared about was seeing them again.
STAR's first instinct is to grab S/O by the collars, shaking them despite the injuries they sustained.
(ST AR-15) "You...YOU IDIOT!"
Her grip tightened around their shirt, borderline jostling them around as her hands trembled.
(ST AR-15) "Do you have any idea how much it hurt, thinking you were dead after that goddamn explosion?! Why didn't you just listen to me and wait instead of doing something so reckless?!"
Sorrow and rage swelled through STAR, but it disappeared just as quickly as relief soon washed over, dropping S/O to the ground and instead hugging them tightly, despite her gear making it awkward to do so.
(S/O) "I'm...s-sorry.-"
(ST AR-15) "You better be..."
Of course she was angry, but more than anything...the pain could finally ease a little. They were bruised and battered to hell and back, but they were alive.
That was something she gave up hope on a long time ago.
SOPMOD's jaw drops as she lays eyes on her S/O.
Without a moment of hesitation, she bolts into a full tilt sprint and tackles them to the floor, that alone almost killing them again.
She's borderline hysterical, laughing happily as her arms crush their back in the strongest hug she's ever given out.
S/O didn't even have the strength to eek out an 'That hurts' as the wind was being squeezed out of them.
Until mercifully RO635 hit SOPMOD's head with her fist, causing her to ease up.
(RO635) "Watch your strength, their vitals were dropping."
(S/O) "Ow...!"
Despite the unintentional pain she had caused, S/O still hugged her back, something SOPMOD readily returned.
(S/O) "I'm sorry for breaking your heart...-"
(M4 SOPMOD II) "You can make it up to me by not letting go ever again, got it?!"
M16A1 knelt down to S/O, who was trying to catch their breath leaning against a nearby barricade.
With a small smile, she held their hand, her one eye examining for the worst of their injuries.
(M16A1) "Hey there, cutie...Been a minute."
(S/O) "Hah, that all...you have to say?"
She rolled her eye, but all of a sudden took them into a tight hug the moment she found no life-threatening wounds to tend.
Her voice was soft, barely above a whisper as M16A1 felt their hand move up to her back.
(M16A1) "...I thought I lost you."
S/O didn't say anything, opting to let M16A1 help them up instead, and kissing her forehead.
The two were uncharacteristically quiet, moving toward the helicopter together, carrying them and notably not letting go of them the entire trip back.
RO wants to cry, scream, and kiss S/O all at once upon seeing them limp into view, giving a small and hurt smile toward her.
Instead, she immediately rushes over and begins bandaging them up, trying to remain focused.
(RO635) "H-How hurt are you? Are there any internal injuries that I can't see?! I-I mean, how did you even escape?!-"
S/O's hand grabbed her wrist to catch her attention, snapping her out of an increasingly panicked state and letting her regain some composure.
Taking a deep breath for her systems, RO focuses on scanning them and taking care of the worst of their wounds.
(RO635) "...What did I tell you about being reckless?"
(S/O) "D-Don't worry. Think I learned my lesson this time-"
(RO635) "DON'T MAKE JOKES, S/O."
Her tone caused S/O to flinch, her facial expressions alone bordered on crying as she patched them up.
It was times like this that S/O forgot that she wasn't human, seeing as no tears were coming out, but her shaking voice definitely made it seem like she was.
(RO635) "You were dead, and it was my fault!...How do you think I could have lived with that?! I can be repaired, you can't!-"
Gritting her teeth, she turned to S/O, softening up as one hand moved to cup her cheek.
(RO635) "...Just get some rest, S/O, please. And don't you dare think of leaving me alone like that again!"
Kalina nearly leapt from her seat the moment she saw S/O walk through the Command Room doors, covered in bandages and splints.
(Kalina) "S-S/O?!"
They were helped in by the Commander, but quickly joined by Kalina as she rushed over to hug them, tears falling down her face freely.
(S/O) "Hey, Kalina..."
(Kalina) "Hey?! Hey is all you have to say?! How about, 'I'm sorry', or 'I'm an idiot, making you think I was dead' first?!"
Honestly, she had half a mind to slap them.
Instead, she just kissed them, wiping away her tears and holding S/O's injured arm.
(Kalina) "...Thank god you're okay."
(Commander) "Kalina, you're relieved for the day. Take S/O to the infirmary for me, would you?"
Kalina nodded in thanks, helping S/O to the bed.
(Kalina) "Don't you ever scare me like that again..."
Helianthus's eyes go wide upon seeing her injured S/O stumble through the door, with Kalina and the Commander helping them in.
(Helianthus) "You're...alive?!"
She had read the report dozens of time the day their death was declared. Helianthus couldn't believe it then, and was still in the process of mourning them until now.
Honestly, seeing them here now with a smile made her want to slap them. But her mind was anything but logical right now-
(Commander) "We'll give you some privacy, Ma'am."
The Commander and Kalina saluted before leaving them alone, making Helianthus stand up from her seat and stomp toward them.
(Helianthus) "This is precisely why I did not want you on the field! You were as good as dead, and I can't even fathom what kind of luck that came by to save you!-"
Her fists clenched, and every part of her being was content to keep yelling-
Instead, she gave them the angriest hug of her life, while also letting out the biggest sigh of relief in her life.
(S/O) "I'm sorry, Helian..."
(Helianthus) "Sorry won't cut it, S/O..."
S/O gently wiped away the tear falling down her cheek, Helianthus allowing herself to be vulnerable for just this moment, with so many emotions rushing to the forefront of her mind.
More than anything, she was glad to see that another person she cared about was not lost to the fires of war.
Gentiane's arms cross as S/O approaches her covered in bandages.
(Gentiane) "I thought I was very clear in my orders that you be careful and come home alive."
To that, S/O had no retort. They were unable to look her in the eye as her disapproving look blossomed into anger.
(Gentiane) "No amount of intel gathered is worth the lives of any of our Dolls, and especially not human personnel. Do you think we can just throw you in the repair bay with them too?!"
She pinched the bridge of her nose and glanced toward Kalina and G36.
(Gentiane) "...Give us a minute, will you?"
(Kalina) "Yes, ma'am."
G36 silently nodded and the two left her office. As soon as the door slid close, Gentiane hugged S/O tightly, an exhale leaving her as she did so.
(Gentiane) "That was a stupid stunt. One more act like that, and I'm taking you off the payroll."
Though her tone was stern, she was thanking whatever gods were above that they managed to survive.
She had lost so many already, she couldn't bear the thought of losing anymore.
Since we all love mechas, AR Team + Task Force DEFY with an S/O who drops in on the battlefield with a mech, Titanfall 2 style?
(GFL) AR Team and Task Force DEFY's S/O deploying to the battlefield Titanfall style
AR Team: M4A1, ST-AR 15, M4 SOPMOD II, M16A1, RO635
DEFY: AK-12, AN-94, AK-15, RPK-16, Angelia
STAND BY FOR TITANFALL.
...ALSO IGNORE THE FACT THIS REQUEST WAS MADE BACK IN DECEMBER 24TH OF 2023....
M4 slid into cover as bullets whizzed by her head, picking off the enemy drones closing in, all armed with heavy shields and even heavier rifles.
She and the rest of Anti-Rain were pinned down as enemy armor approached, their current armaments not able to pierce through before they were overwhelmed.
(M4A1) "Tch! Commander, requesting emergency evac! Resistance is greater than anticpated!"
[Commander's Voice] "Hang tight, M4! S/O should be arriving to your location soon with some extra firepower!"
M4 frowned but nodded. A few rocket launchers would certainly help, but it wouldn't stop the mass of infantry currently stomping their way towards the team.
(M4A1) "Understood, standing by!-"
[S/O's Voice] "Sorry to keep you waiting M4! Tell everyone to stand back, dropping in now!"
(M4A1) "...Wait, dropping in?!-"
The sound of a plane soaring overhead managed to drown out the sounds of gunfire, as everyone, including the enemy looked upward into the skies.
[Kalina's Voice] "You have control!"
[S/O's Voice] "I have control. S/O, LAUNCHING!-"
A small figure emerged from the back of the plane as it curved, though the shape of the figure grew faster as it came hurtling towards the ground-
(M4A1) "TAKE COVER!-"
A massive bipedal machine smashed onto an enemy tank, splitting it in half from the sheer force of the drop as sparks ignited the crater around it.
And on it bore the insignia of Griffin and Kryuger on its left shoulder, and Anti-Rain on the right.
M4 watched in awe as the mech suddenly boosted forward, battering aside the enemy drones, dodging incoming fire and drawing the attention off her team.
(M4A1) "S/O, are you in there?!"
(S/O) "Acting as the first test pilot! You saved our asses all the time, now it's time for me to return the favor!-"
M4 sighed to herself before motioning to the team to advance, not wanting to waste the chance.
If she could have S/O completely out of harm's way, she would. A Doll could easily take over piloting duties, and probably could do a better job.
Still, that didn't make M4 any less grateful to them. They probably would have leapt at the chance to help her fight anyway, better they be in well protected suit of armor than out in the open.
(M4A1) "Next time, don't show off at least, please?"
(S/O) "W-Would you believe me if I said landing on that tank was an accident?!"
(M4A1) "Remind me to help you learn how to steer that thing better later."
STAR's jaw dropped as she watched S/O tear through the enemy forces like a hot knife through butter, her frame still shaking from the impact of their landing.
She was fairly sure a good chunk of the dirt had landed on her anyway, but she immediately drew her gun and took care of the targets S/O was leaving behind.
(ST AR-15) "Finish your work before leaving like that!"
(S/O) "Heh, and steal all the fun from you?"
STAR clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she was still grateful for the assist. The landing was a bit extra though, just how much repairs would need to happen for that landing alone?
She'd prefer if they could at least ambush them without the chance of nearly being crushed herself.
SOPMOD Is hyped and angrily jealous at the same time.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "WHY THE HELL DON'T I GET A MECH?!"
(S/O) "Because all you'd be doing is stomping on them and barely using your gun!-"
(M4 SOPMOD II) "You'd really think I pass the opportunity to use a cannon the size of a warehouse?!"
SOPMOD cheers S/O on, but pouts a lot when the fight is over, one that won't go away until she gets to pilot the mech herself.
The landing was pretty badass though, she can't deny that.
M16 lets out a hearty laugh when she sees S/O land, her grin increasing as she watches them skate around the trees and straight into the heart of an enemy armor formation.
(M16A1) "One hell of an entrance, S/O!"
(S/O) "Learned it by watching you!"
M16 scoffs, leaping over cover and easily dispatching of the dazed drones.
(M16A1) "For the record, my legs don't cost as much as that thing probably does for the repairs!-"
M16 thought their landing was badass, if not a little ill-advised.
But like S/O said, they learned it from watching her. Being a terrible influence wasn't the worst thing if it meant Anti-Rain could watch some spectacles like that more often.
RO's sigh is exacerbated as S/O's cheeky tone came over the radio, muttering something to herself as she reloaded.
(RO635) "The first thing you do is land on a tank?! Do you have any idea how much that thing costs?!"
(S/O) "Tell that to Sangvis!"
RO mentally notes to lecture S/O later, but still, she couldn't entirely deny that their shock tactics were effective.
Was it cheap? Hell no, the legs probably need to be replaced entirely once the fight was over!
What a reckless idea, did she learn that from M16 or SOPMOD?!
(RO635) "What terrible influences...!"
(S/O) "Say again? Didn't copy!"
(RO635) "I said make sure to stay safe, we're moving in behind! Watch your fire, acknowledge?"
(S/O) "Yes ma'am!"
(RO635) sigh "Good, tailing behind now!"
12 hummed in approval as S/O's landing shook the very earth DEFY were standing on, grabbing a nearby railing for support as concrete and dirt flew into the air.
(AK-12) "Hm. About time you arrived."
(S/O) "What, not happy to see me?"
(AK-12) "Not until you take care of our problem."
12 calmly watched as S/O's mech blew through the ruined streets, bullets bouncing off its armor and swiftly evading explosive shots.
(AK-12) "Distraction efforts have arrived, let's hurry this up before they have time to complain."
12 barely acknowledges their landing, effective as it was. She expected nothing less of a Tactical Mech.
Besides, 12 knew she was better than it anyway.
94 hardly reacted to the harsh landing, the only movement she made was keeping her combat mask in place as the ground underneath her violently quaked.
(AN-94) "Timely arrival, S/O."
(S/O) "Happy to join the party, drawing their fire!-"
94 nods before quickly rushing to find cover, knowing her current area was about to be crawling with enemies thanks to S/O.
While thankful, 94 has no time for idle compliments. DEFY had a mission to accomplish.
(AN-94) "Remain safe, S/O."
(S/O) "Roger that, you too!"
15 makes a quiet hum of approval of their landing, as an entire enemy squad was squashed underneath their mech's heels.
(AK-15) "If that was intentional, nice work."
(S/O) "Then I'll say it was to keep the compliment!-"
15 made no further comment as S/O's guns echoed throughout the empty city, knowing that their window of opportunity had increased dramatically thanks to them.
However, even she knew that such an asset wouldn't last forever, not bothering to stick around for the duration and focus back on her objective.
(AK-15) "Keep the mech in good condition for our extract, S/O."
(S/O) "I-I know that! Er, copy that!"
Seconds before S/O landed, 16 picked up her LMG and hid behind cover, seeing their shadow for a split second before she was lifted off the ground for a brief second.
Hearing the deafening roar of S/O's gun firing, she lowered her audio input momentarily as she rushed to a better location.
(RPK-16) "My, was the entrance necessary?"
(S/O) "You would've called me boring if I took the longer way anyway!"
(RPK-16) "Hm.~ We don't know that!"
S/O must've felt invincible inside that machine. And to be fair, it'd probably give her a similar feeling for at least a little bit.
But she knew better than to expect it to last forever.
(RPK-16) "What was that saying...The bigger they are-?"
(S/O) "You wanting me to get shot down in this, Sixteen?!"
(Angelia) "You have control."
[S/O's Voice] "I have control, S/O, launching!-"
Angelia motioned for DEFY to take cover, counting down in her head how long it'd take for them to land.
(Angelia) Three, two-
Right on time, S/O smashed onto the ground next to the enemy mech, promptly tearing their head off as their hand reached for the neck.
Sparks and wires flew across the ground, igniting the oil that began to spray out as their thrusters reversed them out of the street and incoming fire.
(Angelia) "Thanks for not landing and immediately crashing into them."
Despite the fact she was speaking quietly and reloading, S/O managed to hear her back-handed compliment.
(S/O) "H-Hey, you're the one who put the coordinates down!"
(Angelia) "Fair enough. Now hurry up and take care of the anti-air. We'll take care of the bunkers underneath them to stop them from doing repairs."
Angelia was impressed by their ability to pilot the mech so well. Even though it was on loan from the Commander, she intended to use the data S/O gathered to develop one for DEFY.
Hopefully with better methods of deploying it than just chucking it out a plane and hoping it wouldn't implode upon landing, but it's done a good job of absorbing the shock.
...So far.
===
A/N:
Griffin actually can deploy an actual Mech. The Mobile Armor Tactical Mech, to be specific. So this ask is actually lore friendly!
Though in my opinion it could have a much cooler name, like a Mobile Suit or Armored Core.
Yeah I got a request. Cuddles with mommy characters of your choice would heal me of my ailments, like a victorian child who would be soothed by seeing the sea one final time before the affliction takes hold
(Genshin Impact/H:SR/GFL) Cuddling with Lisa, Yae, Yelan, Himeko, Natasha, Springfield, and RO635
That's...oddly specific.
Lisa cuddling with her S/O is comfortable and very lazy.
Whether it be reading a book, drinking tea, or simply enjoying each other's warmth, there will be nothing productive done that day.
But in order to achieve such heavenly bliss, they will have to work doubly hard right before, so that way they can lounge about with no risk of worrying about work.
That, or she'll find excuses. If it's raining, then oh well! Nothing to do but relax at home.
With her eyes slowly fluttering open, her head rests into the crook of S/O's neck, latching onto them with both her arms.
(Lisa) yawn "It's so early in the morning..."
S/O's eyes glance over to the wall before sighing.
(S/O) "It's ten."
(Lisa) "Hm...still too early, cutie..."
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-"
She turns to them pouting, but her hold on them has gotten tighter.
Hey really like your work any chance we can some aftercare from the some of the gfl girls one specifically being sopmod please? 🥹
(GFL) Aftercare with Anti-Rain Team
Mild NSF-W Under the Cut!
SOPMOD has almost zero energy the moment she collapses onto S/O, nuzzling into their neck with a satisfied hum.
Being a T-Doll, she doesn't have to worry about things like sweat, exhaustion, or anything that a human would.
It's because of that she almost forgets that S/O needs to clean up.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "...Hm? You need a shower?...Meh! You can do that tomorrow morning, you're too comfy!"
Despite her whining, S/O does manage to (somehow) gently shove her back into the bed, and at that she pouts.
And suddenly she is back at full power, grabbing onto S/O.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "...Wait, lemme join you! It's boring without you here!"
After sharing such an intimate moment, SOPMOD gets a thousand times more needy, almost clinging onto S/O the entire time.
Despite that, she doesn't try anything cheeky and just happily holds them (most of the time).
Afterwards, S/O lets SOPMOD sleep with them, or more accurately on them as she's snoring away.
M4A1 doesn't say anything after she finishes with S/O, her arm quietly snaking its way around them.
S/O takes the hint and holds M4A1 tight, a light giggle escaping her lips as she felt their warmth.
Her face is still blushing, not that S/O sees it, as she rests her cheek on their chest, hearing their heartbeat slow down to a normal pace.
The two of them stay like this for a few minutes, enjoying the peace and quiet as their breathing stabilized.
With a kiss to her head, M4A1 looks up to S/O, the calmest smile S/O had ever seen on her.
(M4A1) "...I love you."
M4A1 shifts into the bed so that way her head is resting on a pillow, her hand intertwining with S/O's, both their hands holding as they drifted to sleep.
M16A1 lies on her back, somehow just as breathless as S/O.
(M16A1) "Man...I'm tired..."
(S/O) "I didn't even know you could get tired."
(M16A1) "Core is running a little hot, but can't say I didn't enjoy it.~"
M16A1 musters what energy her body had and flops onto S/O, a cheeky grin forming hearing them grunt as her weight fell on them.
(M16A1) "Much better pillow..."
(S/O) "H-Hey! How am I supposed to get up and clean us up?"
(M16A1) "Simple. You don't. Not yet anyway."
S/O rolled their eyes before just resting their arms above her waist, letting M16 nuzzle into their neck.
It was a very awkward position, especially given the weight of a T-Doll, yet it didn't bother S/O too much.
Not when they got to brush their hand through her hair, feeling her hum vibrate into their neck.
STAR is struggling to keep herself awake, faintly aware of the feeling of S/O holding her against them.
She doesn't try to fight it or say something in response, simply allowing it to just happen as she closed her eyes.
STAR wants to do something to help, cleaning the bed or them, yet this feeling was too nice to pull away from.
A notion that S/O figured out, making them smile.
(ST AR-15) "Do...you need me to move?"
(S/O) "Nope. You're perfectly fine as you are."
(ST AR-15) "Hm..."
STAR knew what they really meant, making her smile as well. It doesn't take terribly long for her to fall asleep and awake a blushing mess after the fact.
RO's hands immediately try to latch onto S/O, bringing them closer to her as she has their head rest on her chest.
With a tired sigh, she lays her head back onto the pillow in both exhaustion and bliss.
Maybe every now and then it was nice to destress like this...
She felt S/O shift in her arms, making her reluctantly let go.
Before realizing S/O was lifting her hand up, seeing them smile.
(S/O) "I think we should clean ourselves a little before we fall asleep."
Seeing her disheveled hair strands in the periphery of her vision, RO blushes before agreeing.
(RO635) "R-Right. I think a shower would do us both nicely."
The absolute last thing she needed was the others to comment on the activity her and S/O got up to tonight.
There must be no evidence for M16 or SOPMOD to see!
Redownloaded GFL because of your blog (also the main reason why I got into it in the first place) and I was surprised with all of the QOL changes they made.
My favorite so far is the non-critical auto repair after battles and it got me thinking how would the AR & DEFY girls react to an SO who scolds them when they return in critical condition but repairs them as tenderly and with as much care as possible despite their harsh demeanor. (Basically a tsundere SO who's worried sick but refuses to admit it)
Love your blog and I hope you're doing well. Thank you for continuously feeding my (and everyone else's) obsession with raifu's.
(GFL) AR Team and DEFY's S/O repairing them
AR Team: M4A1, M16A1, ST AR-15, M4 SOPMOD II, RO635
DEFY: AK-12, AN-94, AK-15, RPK-16
It has been too long since I have written the Raifus on the blog, time to rectify that.
Also TSUNDERES WOOOOOO-
M4A1 winces from the light of S/O's blowtorch welding her metallic limbs back together.
Seeing it return to green status in her eyes, she simply sighs when S/O stands up, shifting their welding mask up in order to look at her.
Seeing S/O cross their arms, M4A1 already knows what they're about to say.
(M4A1) "S/O, I know I-"
(S/O) "Went overboard? Psh, that's never stopped you before."
M4A1's hands took a moment to readjust themselves as S/O examined one of her legs that was currently sitting on a nearby table, badly damaged.
(S/O) "It almost seems like what I request to you and the Commander just gets ignored deliberately. Do you think I can repair you all the time without any effort?-"
(M4A1) "S/O."
M4A1's arm that revealed her metallic frame grabbed S/O's hand, finally making them pause.
She gently tugged S/O toward her, and despite their angry expression, the tears forming in the corner of their eyes betrayed any lingering anger that may have been present.
And with her one arm that had the synthetic skin remain, gently wiped away S/O's tear.
(M4A1) "...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you."
(S/O) "...If you don't mean to do that, then just come home in one piece so I don't have to do this."
Their voice dropped to nearly a whisper, but she had no trouble hearing them clearly.
S/O let M4A1's hand linger on their face for a moment while they took a deep breath again, though this time much calmer than before.
(S/O) "Now stand still, I have to make sure your leg is properly patched up."
(M4A1) "Thank you, S/O."
S/O averted their gaze to grab her leg, though she knew the real reason they refused to meet her eyes, bringing a small but sad smile to her lips.
(S/O) "Don't thank me. I've yet to finish...And you're not walking out of here without my help, understood?"
(M4A1) "Hah, got it."
S/O grumbled under their breath as M16 sheepishly let her jacket drop.
Only to reveal an entire forearm missing.
(M16A1) "...For the record, that wasn't my fault."
(S/O) "Couldn't have grabbed the missing part?"
(M16A1) "It was uh...a little beyond recovering at that point."
(S/O) "You are going to be the death of me, Sixteen."
(M16A1) "Heh, come on! I'm making sure you get Griffin's paychec-"
(S/O) "By what, making sure I put you back together like goddamn Humpty Dumpty everytime you come back?!"
M16 flinched by S/O raising their voice, and only noticed now how tightly S/O was gripping onto her remaining hand.
Which also was damaged.
(S/O) "I get taking damage during a mission, it's unvavoidable, but 90% of the time, it is!"
(M16A1) "...S-S/O, I didn't mean to-"
(S/O) "Don't apologize. Just...Don't make me work so hard."
S/O gaze lingered on her missing limb, to which she responded by grabbing their hand and resting it near her eyepatch.
(M16A1) "Come on, can't have your skills going rusty, can I?"
Her tone was cheeky, but her volume was soft, letting S/O's fingers brush against her cheek before going to grab repair tools.
(S/O) "At this rate, I'm going to need a drink..."
(M16A1) "Heh, wanna share? It's on me."
(S/O) "...Then I'm grabbing the most expensive Jack Daniels they have."
And to that, M16's cocky attitude deflated.
(M16A1) "...Shoulda kept my mouth shut."
STAR rolled her arms the moment she felt the connection back online.
(ST AR-15) "Thanks, feeling much better now."
(S/O) "These parts aren't cheap, STAR.-"
Before she could retort, S/O pulled her wrist towards them, examining it with a scanner before nodding in satisfaction.
(S/O) "And contrary to how you think, your life isn't something to throw away either."
STAR opened her mouth but instead of any reply, only a sigh came out.
(S/O) "If you won't think of yourself, then at least think of me. I have to be the one making sure you're all good to go before you tear yourself apart again."
(ST AR-15) "...R-Right."
S/O shook their head as their hand shifted down into hers, holding it firmly.
(ST AR-15) "I don't plan on going anywhere, S/O."
(S/O) "Hm. Tell me that when you're not coming home to me in twenty pieces."
ST AR-15 wryly grinned at S/O, playfully kicking at them with a missing foot on her right leg, exposing both synthetic skin and the electrical bits inside.
(ST AR-15) "Twenty-one, actually."
S/O turned around to grab other tools, but STAR could tell they smiled at her joke.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "BOOOOOREEEED!"
SOPMOD aggressively wiggled her metallic stumps where her arms previously where, whining as she bobbed back and forth on the table.
S/O focused their attention on finishing the last of the repairs on her arms, with them sighing loudly.
(S/O) "SOPMOD, I told you before, I'm nearly done."
(M4 SOPMOD II) "You said that forever ago!-"
(S/O) "Three minutes-"
(M4 SOPMOD II) "FOREVER!"
S/O did their best to ignore her pouting as they finally completed the necessary adjustments, moving to reattach her arms.
(S/O) "You wouldn't have to wait like this if you just listened to RO, y'know."
(M4 SOPMOD II) "Bah! I wouldn't have been able to kick their asses if I hadn't!"
(S/O) "Plus, you're making me work harder than I have to."
She raised an eyebrow at S/O's words, a grin quickly growing.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "Don't act like that you wouldn't be worried if you weren't the one doing my repairs!"
(S/O) "Please, I already have so much work piled up, I-"
SOPMOD yelped the moment a hiss came from her right arm reattaching, making S/O's heart drop as their eyes widened.
(S/O) "S-SOPMOD! Are you alright?!-"
And their worry was replaced with annoyance as SOPMOD's pained expression transformed into a cheeky smile, tapping S/O playfully on the nose with her claw-like finger.
(M4 SOPMOD II) "Gotcha!"
(RO635) sigh "You have my thanks and apologies, S/O."
S/O shook their head as they softly brushed RO's hair to her back, getting a closer look at the damage on her shoulders.
(S/O) "Hm. I know you avoid damage whenever you can. Just stay still."
Though their tone was cold, it didn't bother RO in the slightest.
She knew how they really felt.
(RO635) "Truthfully, I'm fine S/O. You don't need to worry too much-"
(S/O) "About the bullet that almost tore through your connections on this arm? On the contrary you're giving more reasons to worry."
(RO635) "A-Ah..."
RO's hands rested on her lap, with S/O's head near her neck.
Feeling her core thrum faster as she quickly examined her surroundings to make sure no one was looking, RO stole a quick peck, kissing the top of their head making S/O freeze.
(RO635) "...Sorry, bad time?"
(S/O) "Just...warn me next time before you snap me out of my focus."
12 hummed idly while S/O examined her hand, which was currently beside her, separated from her arm.
(S/O) "How in the world did this happen?"
(AK-12) "Well, you can't just sit on your thumbs all day without doing repair work! Just making sure you're not out of a job."
S/O rolled their eyes at her smug tone, but said nothing as they went about repairing it.
(S/O) "I do repairs everyday while I'm back here, thank you very much."
(AK-12) "Then you won't mind doing one more for your beloved, would you?~"
(S/O) "Isn't it your job to make sure you don't get that hurt?"
(AK-12) "My job is to fulfill whatever Angie tells us. Same for you, as far as I recall."
12's eyes opened slightly as her smile grew.
(AK-12) "And...I'm fairly sure you're not supposed to be treating me like a princess either. But no complaints from me.~"
S/O's cheeks darkened the moment they realized their position: kneeling in front of 12 while putting her hand back gently, which the hand promptly patted S/O's head.
Making their eye twitch as 12 laughed.
If 94 could bow in apology, she would.
However, she was currently laying on the table as multiple mechanical arms set about repairing the damages on her, with S/O standing next to her.
Several bullet wounds were inflicted on her, thankfully mostly superficial, but heavy duty equipment was required.
(S/O) "Good god, how did this even happen?"
(AN-94) "It was my negligence, my apologies S/O. I will have to be more alert."
S/O's hand reached to her lower back, moving her to sit upright as the arms whirred away to give them space.
(S/O) "You better. I don't want to have to do this everytime."
(AN-94) "The last thing I want to do is burden you."
(S/O) "Hey. I didn't say that-"
(AN-94) "But-"
S/O put a finger to her lips, making her blink as her eyes trailed to her lover, who was in the process of covering their mouth.
And failing to hide a blush.
(S/O) "I just...don't want to see you hurt, Ninety-Four."
(AN-94) "S/O"
(S/O) "I said please extend your arms. I have to do final inspection and see if I need any touch-ups."
(AN-94) "...Understood."
94 heard them clearly, but still didn't understand why S/O always seemed flustered saying these kinds of things.
15 stoically turned to S/O as they finished their repairs, allowing her to stand up properly, with S/O gently guiding her up.
She gave a single nod, slow and grateful.
(AK-15) "Thank you, S/O. Your repairs are efficient as always."
(S/O) "Can't have our strongest given to some shoddy engineer, after all."
She hummed in agreement, before taking a moment to bow.
(AK-15) "I apologize for having made the mistake of getting hurt to begin with."
Truthfully, 15 always took the worst of the damage, but that was because she was essentially a walking tank.
Hell, S/O was fairly positive 15 could actually beat the tank to death with her bare hands.
(S/O) "D-Damage is unavoidable. Don't apologize for it. As long as you always come back to me, it's fine."
A moment passed before S/O's eyes widened, in disbelief in what 15 got them to say out loud.
(AK-15) "Is something the matter? Your heartrate has spiked-"
(S/O) "N-Nothing! It's nothing!"
16 raised an eyebrow seeing how kindly S/O attended to her.
Not a moment ago they were chastising her for even taking damage, making S/O work so hard.
(RPK-16) "My, what happened to that foul attitude from earlier, S/O?"
(S/O) "What are you talking about?"
She giggled, tilting her head past the equipment to see S/O tending to her leg.
(RPK-16) "Do you perhaps find peace working on me after all? You don't seem nearly as upset now that I'm here-"
(S/O) "Psh, don't get it mixed up. I'm happy to get you fixed and out of the repair bay."
Could you do an imagine about sharing a bed with the AR team and/or DEFY members?
(GFL) AR/404/DEFY Sharing a bed with their S/O
BOO, SQUAD 404 JUMPSCARE!
M4A1 is actually rather comfortable sharing a bed, plus not like she had any room to complain. Beforehand she had to make do with the dorm's beds, which were alright, at best.
Granted she's a little jumpy since she's afraid she might accidentally hurt S/O with her weight, but her fears are pushed aside when S/O moves intentionally closer to her.
Hugging them tightly, M4A1 takes a deep breath and nuzzles even closer to them.
(M4A1) "Good night, S/O..."
She feels them smile against her arm, squeezing her hand gently back.
(S/O) "Night..."
In her mind, she swears that nothing will ever hurt them, letting more of her emotions out as she holds one of the few humans she's grown to love closer to her core.
M16A1 is obnoxious when it comes to sharing, since she sprawls out and snores loudly.
How a T-Doll can even snore is beyond S/O, but they've learned to stop questioning things when they saw her get drunk somehow.
And on that note, she usually smells of Jack Daniels, not that S/O has time to realize that as M16A1 accidentally hits their face as her hand flops onto them.
(M16A1) "Mngaaah......."
(S/O) sigh
Well, at least she wasn't stealing the blanket.
Yet.
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.
She at the very least makes sure both her prosthetics are facing away from S/O to not make them flinch from the cold metal under the blanket.
