We need some smooching from two badass lesbians soooo Umeko and Setsuka pucker up we have mistletoe!

You know it!

My turn, this time!

*This time, Umeko grabs and sweeps an ankle out from her under her…*

*…then dips her and kisses her deeply*

Dang, Ume!

I’ve been waiting for a chance at that.

[a-student-out-of-time]

Ah! I forgot with all the shit that happened yesterday, it was also Setsuka's birthday! I'm guessing that is a birthday you are not going to forget in a hurry. How ironic that it is also the day that her killer from the OG Timeline 'dies' on that day as well.

Oh yeah, I remembered. We just didn’t get a chance to celebrate yesterday.

But someone drinks a little too much whenever there’s a celebration.

*Slurred* I’m twenty-three now. I can drink a little if I wanna!

You drank an entire Adios Motherfucker and two shots of vodka.

Semantics!

Where’re the kids? I wanna *hic* give up a biiiig hug!~

Uhhh...I don’t think that’s a good idea. Remember, Masaru-kun doesn’t like alcohol and...yeah, I can smell it from here.

But...I really wanna see ‘em.

I understand that. Now’s just not a good time, okay?

But they’ll still be here. Right now, you need to rest and...well, we can clean you up a little later. Please, Setsu?

Ookkaaayy....but only cuz you’re so pretty~

[a-student-out-of-time]

What about our favourite (fan) couple? Setsu and Ume it’s your turn to be in the mistletoe! I believe in you girls!- 🧇 Anon

Heck yeah!

*Setsuka grabs Umeko and suddenly sweeps an ankle out from her under her...*

Wh-whoa!

*...then dips her and kisses her deeply*

How was that?

...That was awesome~

[a-student-out-of-time]

·- -· -·-- --- -· ·     ··· ···· ·· ·--·     - ···· · ··· ·     - ·-- --- ··--·· //Morse code for "Anyone shipping these two?"

Uhh...Setsu and I have been dating for a couple months now, we’re living together and taking care of a bunch of kids? I think our ship’s already out at sea.

I like boats!

[a-student-out-of-time]

Oh great I’m getting flashbacks to the OG Timeline when Setsuka threw a party during the Void Killing Game, Maku snuck alcohol in to try and get Yuri hammered so it’ll be easier to kill him, and Setsuka was one of the people who got pissed.

Yeah, Setsu’s been like this since we first met. She’s been drinking ever since she was 16.

...Am I a bad girl?

What? No, of course not.

You just drink a little too much is all.

Mom always said I was a bad girl.

Setsu...I really don’t want you to think about her. What she said about you doesn’t matter, alright?

But she was right, right? I just make people miserable-

No, you don’t.

I love you. And I love being with you. Don’t worry what anyone else has ever said about you, okay? You’re a wonderful mother and big sister to a lot of people, and they all care about you.

…

*Setsuka hugs her*

Thank yooouuu!

*Umeko hugs her back, helping move her into their bed*

You really need to rest.

[a-student-out-of-time]

Let’s find that person!

We really should...but I think we should at least give the kids a few more days off.

They’ve all been working so hard, and I feel like they should get a break.

You should too, Ms. workaholic.

*Setsuka kisses her on the cheek*

Alright, alright.

Just...bathroom first. Too much caffeine...

[a-student-out-of-time]

Setsuka you are a very good person and we are all very proud of you, now please cuddle up with the teddie bear that is your beautiful scientist girlfriend and get some rest, you deserve it.

Thank yooouuu~

Hugs~?

Yep! Hugs!

I looovee yoooouuuu, Ume~!

I love you too. You’re my favorite person, Setsu. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

[a-student-out-of-time]

Lol, I don't know everyone's birthday by heart, but I do like seeing ppl celebrate it when I'm online. Idk if it's the same as in your time zone & I know it's technically not in-game time, but here goes. Happy Birthday Setsuka (9/9)!

Heyy, thanks everybody! You’re about a month early from my perspective, but Big Sis appreciates it!

Happy early birthday anyway to the best girl in the multiverse! ❤︎

Aww, Ume!

[a-student-out-of-time]

Jataro has Iroha, Mikan has Kotoko and Masaru has Midori. Who will Nagisa and Monaka have?

We’re still narrowing things down with them, but we’ll get things sorted out, I’m sure.

I actually had some thoughts on that.

Setsu, umm...about what I said before. I just wanna get a clear answer first.

Oh? About which part exactly?

Are we together again? Like, is it official? Do you want it to be official?

Wait, that probably sounds way too forceful. I mean, I’m just asking. It’s okay if you wanna take things slow, but you and I...I mean, if you, we, were to take him in if we had to then, I...umm...I-I, uh...

Sweetheart, calm down, please. It’s alright. I get it.

Guess I just really suck at giving you answers, huh?

But let’s be real, how many times have we banged now?

Uhh...four times?

Why do you think that is?

A couple reasons spring to mind, but what’s yours?

Because I wanna be with you, dummy! I wouldn’t sleep with a girl if I didn’t already love her to pieces. And I kinda thought it was clear we were already back together.

But if you wanna make it official, that’s my answer. I love you, Umeko, and this time I’m gonna stick around for good.

Setsuka...

God, I love you too.

So, guess that means we’re gonna be moms now too? It’s gonna be a lot of responsibility.

I handle ionizing radiation for a living. I think that counts for responsibility.

It’s a natural progression, hehe.

[a-student-out-of-time]

I knew that you wouldn’t purposely cheat on her, but I was surprised that is all. Though I’m 100% Umeko would understand, she’s incredibly sweet and surprisingly humorous.

She’s just really awesome like that, y’know?

One of my favorite moments was when she confessed to me. That was...that was a day.

_________________________________________

You wanted to talk, Setsu?

Right...Ume.

Do you want to become my sibling?

...Pardonne-moi?

Yeah! Let’s become blood sisters.

Oh...what brought this on all of a sudden, exactly?

Well...hanging out with you, talking with you, it makes me feel like all the frustrations in my mind just disappear.

And it hit me that I’m a third-year already. We may not have a lot of time, so I’d really like to form a much closer bond with you. How about it?

...I love you.

!!

Aww, Big Sis loves you too, Ume!

Not what I meant. Don’t you dare sisterzone me!

Huh...?

Wait...wait, that was too harsh. Retracting prior statement.

Setsu, I mean romantically. I’ve had a crush on you for a while now, and I...I wanted to find a good time to tell you, but I kept psyching myself out, a-and then you said that and I decided now was better than never, so...

H-huh...?

Okay, I’m gonna be as direct as I possibly can.

*Umeko cups Setsuka’s face in her face and inches hers in closer*

I. am. In. Love. With. You. Ya. Dummy. I’m attracted to you like a Sodium atom to an ionic bond. You’re amazingly supportive, funny, creative, hot, and you’ve helped me change into a much better person during my time here. If you want a closer bond with me, m-maybe we could date instead?

...

...I really just said all that, didn’t I? Excuse me, I need to find a window to throw myself out of.

Pfff-hahahaha! I’m sorry, sorry, you’re just too cute!

I wanted to hear the whole thing.

You just let me say all that?!

Yeah...and it was really sweet.

Oh...alright. Maybe I don’t need to defenestrate myself after all.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah. I accept your confession.

You...r-really?

Yeah! I’d love to be your girlfriend.

Yes! Victory!  I actually confessed to a girl and it didn’t kill me!

Thank you, Setsu!

Who could say “no” to a cutie pie like you?

You’re welcome, Ume. Thanks for finally telling me.

*The two share a hug*

_______________________________________________

Good times.

[a-student-out-of-time]

Ah, Umeko, stay calm will you?

Ngh...*sniff*...I-I know, I...

It’s okay, Ume. It’s okay.

*Setsuka takes Umeko into her arms*

You’re right. It was wrong of me to just leave you behind like that.

I guess...I was scared you’d despise me for that. And I figured I deserved a lot of what happened afterward.

Don’t say that. *sniff* You didn’t deserve any of it.

Besides, I could never despise you. You’re a wonderful person. You’re my favorite person.

Did that bastard hurt you? What did he do?

No, no, he was never like that with me. He just...pressured me into stuff whenever we were alone.

Mostly just kissing and...ugh, sometimes he got handsy. Yeah, I hated it and I hated him, but I wouldn’t say it was the worst.

Honestly, he wasn’t even good at it. You remember my old boyfriend who couldn’t figure out how to unhook a bra? Somehow, Utsugi was worse. As soon as he had enough, he called it there.

I could tell he never got any from his wife. Can’t imagine why.

...Pfffahahaha! Wow.

Hey, now there’s a pretty smile!

Yeah. Thank you.

Ume, I really am sorry for leaving you behind. I’m sorry I was too scared to say anything to you for so long.

Is there...anything I can do to make it up to you?

Hmm...

Well, you could stay for dinner. And maybe we could talk for a bit longer?

I’d love to, but dinner at almost 2AM?

What can I say? I’m a busy girl.

Oh, and Setsu?

Yeah?

*Umeko kisses her on the lips* It’s great to have you back.

It’s great to be back.

[a-student-out-of-time]

How’s Umeko doing?

Setsu...are you sure about this?

I’m positive. I’ve had this lead for months and still haven’t had a chance to investigate.

This could give us a perfect path straight to Junya and his accomplices.

But you’re going alone?

It’s okay, I’m gonna keep in touch with you all. I’ve got an earpiece and our friend Nik’s promised to keep in constant contact with me.

But...you’re going alone?

Ume...

*Setsuka hugs her*

I can’t ask any of the kids to do this. This is way too dangerous, plus you’re all busy with one thing or another.

Don’t worry about me. I’m a detective, there’s no way they’re gonna catch me.

...I can’t lose you again.

Ume...

Besides, you said so yourself, right? We’re...we’re gonna be mothers, when we get Nagisa-san out of there.

I know. That’s why I’m coming back; I’ve got you and him waiting for me.

I love you, Setsu.

I love you too, baby.

Keep the bed nice and warm for me for when I get back?

You even have to ask?
