Tagging @ladybeug even tho you don’t write a ton both your fic writing style and comic writing style are among my tippy top favorites and I wish I could pay u to make stuff all the time. That you would be my jester makes me both laugh and feel stuff
Too many people to choose from, I get excited about every fic I see update! I refuse to play by the ONE person rule. I reject your reality and substitute my own!
@princessofgayskull Upper West Side is a gift, I cannot wait to have my heart stomp on a bit in the sequel!
@weezelness Tales From Beast Island is amazing, Baal is best kid, and watching Catra learning to chill out is awesome!
@malachi-walker Rhythm & Blues (C'mon, Darlin’, Make Some Noise) is a frigging blessing for all the wonderful and thoughtful exploration of the characters. It’s always exciting to see how you’ll build up their interactions. :)
@johannas-motivational-insults Look, I’m either gonna get my heart ripped out or get a well-crafted character study with lots of affection. Frequently both. ;D
@bow-woahh Because I will never be able to stop screaming over heal me after hurting.
@hyperskully Working with you is a blast and I eagerly await another chance. :)
I know you’re already tagged but @princessofgayskull because UWS was my first taste of a deep trauma and recovery type plot in this fandom, and every addition to that universe is wonderful.
Also I have to break the rule and tag @seasinkarnadine too because The Devil Is In (The Details) is just so compelling. Your character work is really interesting and the tension (sexual and otherwise) is bombin’.
It’s been a pleasure getting to beta for both of you this year!
This story is for @1mrhyde. I hope you all enjoy this fluffy Christmas tale where Akko brings Diana with her to Japan to have Christmas with Akko’s family.
The plane engines drone on, making a perfect amount of white noise for Diana to think without much distraction. The plane ride is mostly smooth with the occasional bump which pulls Diana out of her own head. She looks to her right and smiles softly, seeing Akko slumped against her, resting her head on Diana’s shoulder. Diana kissed the top of Akko’s head and gently intertwines their hands. Diana looks forward once more, her eyes focusing on the ‘Fasten Seat Belt’ sign. She caresses the back of Akko’s hand with her thumb while her mind begins to wander once more, to their trip and destination.
Akko had been ecstatic when her parents green-lit her idea of inviting her girlfriend out to Japan to celebrate Christmas with their family. Akko had practically throw the door to their bedroom off its hinges when she burst into it to ask Diana if she wanted to join her and her family for Christmas. Diana had almost fallen over from the sudden bursting in of Akko, but she did end up accepting the offer before scolding Akko about proper etiquette of knocking and not ripping doors off their hinges. Akko barely listened because she was just too excited to have Diana joining her for Christmas. She was already making plans on things for them to do together. Diana stopped lecturing Akko and glared at her when Diana realized Akko was daydreaming and not listening. She shook her head and walked up to Akko, wrapping her arms around her waist and lifting her up. This caught Akko’s attention. She smiled down at Diana and leaned in for a kiss. Before Akko could kiss her, Diana slammed her down on her bed, causing Akko to shriek and become stunned on her back. Diana climbed on top of her and held her down, giving her a look that Akko could not decipher. Akko gulped and smiled uneasily up at Diana. She ended up receiving the same lecture once more, this time she paid attention to her hot girlfriend on top of her.
The day of the flight Akko was way too energetic, bouncing around their apartment like a puppy about to be taken on a walk. Diana watched with bemusement, wondering how she had so much energy, especially for them just visiting Japan together. Diana managed to wrangle Akko and made her get dressed in comfortable clothes for the flight. They made their way to the airport and boarded their flight to Japan, all the while Akko was vibrating from excitement and blinding people with her smile. She ended up wearing herself out an hour into the flight. Akko ended up falling asleep against Diana with her head on Diana’s shoulder, her hair cascading over her face. Diana drifted off in thought about the upcoming days, how would Akko’s family be, would she be allowed to snuggle with Akko at night? She just couldn’t stop thinking about these super important questions, they only became more stressful the closer they got to their destination.
Soon enough they land and take a taxi to the train station and then a train to Akko’s hometown. Akko had calmed down now that they had made it to Japan. She smiled brightly and hugged Diana’s arm tightly. Diana slid her fingers between Akko’s and held her hand while they linked arms and waited for their train stop. Akko’s father picked them up from the train station with a huge smile. He shook Diana’s hand vigorously and then pulled her into a tight hug. He was super happy to meet her and he was glad that they were happy together. Diana got a little flustered by all the energetic greetings and well wishes by just this one man. Meeting the rest of the family was going to be crazy. Good thing she was in love with Akko, it made it all worth it.
As they drive to Akko’s parents home, Akko and her father chat and catch up since the last time they talked on the phone, which was two days previous. Diana sat in the back and listens to them talk in their native tongue together. She closes her eyes and rests, letting the sound of her sweet Akko’s voice put her to sleep.
Diana gets awoken by a pair of soft lips on hers. Her eyes flutter open to see a smiling Akko leaning into the car just to kiss Diana awake. “We are here sleepy head. Come on, I already unpacked the car, now I can properly introduce you to my mom.” Akko takes Diana’s hand and drags her out of the car and into the cozy home. They remove their shoes and Akko drags Diana by her hand to the kitchen where a short lady is cooking. “Okkasan, this is Diana!” Akko says loudly to her mother's back. Okkasan turns around and smiles brightly at the two of them. She walks forward and pulls both girls into a warm hug.
“So nice to meet you, Diana. I hope my Akko hasn’t caused you too much grief.” Akko groans and Diana giggles. Diana reaches her arm around Akko’s waist and squeezes her while they get embraced by Akko’s mother.
“She can be tough sometimes, but overall she is manageable.” Diana smiles over Akko’s mother’s shoulder as Akko whines again.
“Hey no fair. You both can’t team up on me like thaaatttttt.” This makes Akko’s mother burst out in a hearty laugh and Diana giggle some more. Akko pouts and sulks in the dual grasp of Diana and her Okkasan. Okkasan lets them go and kisses them both on the forehead.
“Alright you two, go unpack in Akko’s room and why don’t you two jump into what I’ve laid on your futon Akko.” Akko nods, still pouting, and takes Diana’s hand, leading her to their luggage and then to her room. Diana follows, smirking at Akko as she leads them, all shy and embarrassed, to her room.
As they enter the room Diana puts her suitcase down and turns Akko around to face her. “What's the matter cutie pie?” Diana asks, smirking still. “I thought you liked it when I teased you.” Akko’s eyes widen and she goes bright red.
“Keep your voice down.” Akko whimpers back, feeling even more embarrassed. Diana’s smirk grows as she slowly walks closer to a bright red Akko. Diana cups Akko’s chin and gently pushes her back until Akko falls onto her futon. Diana slowly kneels down to straddle a very flustered Akko.
“Oh my sweet Akko, you are very red, maybe I should call your Okkasan in here to see.” Diana bites her lower lip as Akko’s eyes grow huge. She shakes her head furiously and squeezes her eyes shut. Diana giggles and leans down to gently kiss Akko. When Akko leans into the kiss, Diana backs off and kisses Akko’s nose. Akko’s eyes flutter open and she pouts at Diana. “After all this teasing and you won’t even kiss me properly.” Diana smirks and leans in close.
“Oh? Is that want you want? A real kiss?” Diana asks softly, her breath ghosting over Akko’s lips. Akko nods a little, her red eyes staring at Diana’s lips, which were so close, yet just too far. “Well I guess that you’ve been a good enough girl today.” Akko blushes some more before Diana finally gives her the kiss she was craving. Akko sucks on Diana’s lower lip and slips her hands under Diana’s shirt to wrap around Diana’s lower back. Diana and Akko deepen their kiss, enjoying each others warmth and presence. As the kiss ends, Diana sits up and looks down at a happy Akko beneath her. “All better?” she asks, making Akko nod vigorously in return. “Good.”
“So should we unpack and see what Okkasan wants us to wear to dinner?” Akko asks meekly from under Diana. Diana nods and taps Akko’s nose lovingly before getting off of her and pulling her suitcase over to the futon.
They unpack and find the gift from Okkasan, matching kimonos for both girls to wear to dinner. Diana lifts her eyebrow at the sight and looks at Akko. “You are going to need to help me get this on.” This time Akko smirks.
“Well then you better listen carefully to everything I tell you to do.” Diana glares at a cocky Akko who’s smirk only grows. “Now strip sexy.” Diana blushes as Akko bites her lower lip and gestures for Diana to strip. Diana groans and strips down to her underwear, painfully aware of Akko’s eyes taking in as much as she could. Akko then walked up with a juban and makes Diana put it on. Then Akko makes sure Diana has on socks before helping her into the kimono and tying a koshi himo belt around her waist. Akko smiles and kisses Diana’s nose before starting to get dressed herself, keeping her clothes on and putting the juban over them. Diana’s mouth falls open and glares at Akko as she finishes getting dressed.
“Do you mean to tell me that I could have kept my clothes on?” Diana asks furiously. Akko giggles and shrugs.
“Maybe don’t tease your host so much. Plus I wanted a show.” Akko sticks her tongue out at Diana and hurries out of the room before Diana can get her. Diana grumbles and doesn’t dare remove the nicely done up kimono to put more clothes on. Diana struggles to walk gracefully after her sneaky girlfriend. She goes back to the kitchen to find Akko talking casually with her parents, helping them finish making dinner. Everyone stops and looks over at Diana who suddenly feels very shy in the kimono and as the center of attention. Akko smiles brightly at her, while Okkasan and Otousan smile at her adoringly. Diana slowly smiles at them, feeling at home with these wonderful parents of Akko’s who seem to see her as their own daughter as well, which warmed Diana’s heart so much.
With dinner finished they all sat down and began to chat for a little, talking about how Akko and Diana are managing on their own as 20 year old young adults, to Akko wanting a puppy and Diana sighing from having to have this conversation yet again, to things Akko wants to do with Diana while in Japan.
Diana pitches in to the conversation whenever she can, for the most part Akko blabbers on quickly, making it hard for everyone to keep up with what she has planned. As Akko talks, the others eat and listen. Diana really enjoys Okkasan’s cooking and seeing the way Akko’s parents look at their daughter. It warms Diana’s heart to see that Akko has such a loving family to support her. Diana also loves that they seem to share that love for her, even though Akko and Diana are only dating at the moment, the love for her is still there. Diana begins to reminisce, thinking of her mother and how she always felt love from her, all the way to the end.
Diana sighs softly and slowly creeps her hand over Akko’s thigh, wanting to hold her hand but unable to catch it as it is swung around excitedly while Akko keeps on going. Diana smiles as Akko keeps gesticulating and somehow eating while finding even more to talk about. Diana doesn’t know how Okkasan and Otousan manage to deal with this crazy ball of energy, she had to of been even more energetic as a child.
Akko begins to wind down, having exhausted herself. Her hand finds Diana’s on her thigh, so she intertwines their fingers under the table. Diana squeezes her hand and they finish dinner holding each others hands.
Akko and Diana help clean up after dinner, scrubbing plates and dishes together, staying close enough to feel each others warmth. When dinner is finished Okkasan releases them to do as they please as Otousan and her were going to bed. Akko and Diana say goodnight and head to bed as well, they had had a long day of traveling and felt drained.
They retire to Akko’s bedroom, where Akko sighs happily before she falls face first onto her futon. She spreads her arms and legs out, letting her hair become a spread out mess as she lands. Diana giggles softly and watches, shaking her head at her goofy girlfriends antics. Akko rolls over and smiles up at Diana. “You have a beautiful laugh, have I ever told you that.” Diana’s smile brightens at the comment, her eyes meeting Akko’s.
“And you are simply, an amazingly beautiful girl.” Akko blushes and smiles brightly in return. She giggles and pats the spot next to her, wanting Diana to join her. Diana shakes her head and slowly begins to undo her belt, tossing it to the side and opening up her kimono before shrugging it off. In just a thin juban Diana sinks to her knees, straddling Akko on the futon. Akko squeaks and becomes almost as red as her eyes. Diana cocks her head to the side and smirks, “What's the matter darling, you made me undress even more earlier.” Diana leans down and cups Akko’s chin, rubbing her thumb over Akko’s lips. She leans in and kisses Akko gingerly, taking her time, enjoying those soft lips and the eager pressure of Akko pushing up against her body. Diana smiles into the kiss and melts down on top of Akko, letting their bodies meld together. Akko whimpers softly, unable to contain herself as Diana half teases her. Akko’s hands slip between their bodies to find the overlap of the juban, sliding her hands under the thin fabric to slip around Diana’s bare waist.
Diana nips Akko’s lip and sits up ever so slightly. “How about we get ready for bed and snuggle some more,” she said, knowing full well she got Akko all riled up. Akko whines indignantly, she couldn’t believe Diana had just proposed stopping the make out session for cuddles, not that she hated cuddling, she loved it, but Diana was just being mean now.
“What about what we were doing, I was really getting into it.” Akko says, pouting heavily at Diana. Diana giggles and leans in to whisper into Akko’s ear.
“You better believe that I want to unwrap you, my little present, and have some fun, but we will not do such a thing in your parents' house while they are here. But you should also know that I am going to tease you until you are permanently this cute shade of red.” Diana nips Akko’s ear, causing Akko to yelp softly, blush deeply once more and shudder. Diana giggles and slowly sits up to unmount a very flustered Akko. Diana unwraps the juban and changes into her pajamas, making sure Akko was watching every step of the way. She then climbs back onto the futon next to Akko. “Aren’t you going to get ready for bed sweetness? I’m ready to snuggle with you and go to sleep.”
Akko whimpers once more and slowly climbs off the futon and heads to the bathroom to change into clean clothes, coming out in fresh underwear because she forgot to grab pajamas. She hides something behind her back and upon seeing it Diana smirks at an embarrassed Akko, who hides the undergarments in her hamper. Akko hears a click and looks up at Diana with wide eyes, seeing Diana snap a few more pictures of her in her underwear. “Payback is fun, and sexy.” Diana teases, making Akko run red faced into the bathroom to finish changing. Diana lays back down and inspects her new pictures until Akko shyly slinks out of the bathroom and joins her on the futon.
Diana turns on her side and pulls Akko into her embrace. Akko tucks her head into Diana’s chest and closes her eyes. Diana strokes Akko’s hair and runs her fingers up and down Akko’s back. “I love you Akko,” Diana coos, kissing the top of Akko’s head and closing her own eyes.
“I love you too.” Akko mumbles softly, still trying to get over what just happened. They fall asleep in each others arms, Diana stroking an embarrassed Akko, and Akko holding Diana tight, their legs intertwined.
Diana wakes up on Christmas morning with a damp spot on her chest. She looks down to see a drooling Akko still nestled against her. Her thin shirt was no match for Akko’s drooling face. Diana shakes her head and begins to stroke Akko’s arm, slowly coaxing her from her deep sleep. “Merry Christmas Akko.” Diana whispers softly to Akko as she begins to stir. Akko groans softly and hugs Diana, nuzzling into her favorite spot, Diana’s chest. Diana smiles and runs her fingers through Akko’s hair lovingly, trying to untangle the brown mess. After a few minutes of this Akko finally stretches and looks up at Diana.
“Morning beautiful.” She says sleepily, making Diana smile sweetly and kiss Akko on the lips. Akko smiles and rolls onto her back to stretch again, pushing her arms and legs up and down, arching her back to release the tiredness from her body. Diana pushes herself up onto her elbow to watch the display of cuteness next to her. Akko lays back down with her shirt scrunched up, showing off her belly. Diana leans over and kisses Akko’s belly button before getting up to stretch herself and head to the bathroom. Akko smiles and lays on her back, trying her hardest to convince herself to get out of bed. Her reason comes from a sing song voice calling for her in the bathroom.
“Akko how do I use this thing?” Diana calls out, a hint of sleepiness in her voice. Akko giggles and gets up to help Diana figure out the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later both exit the room washed and dressed for the Christmas festivities. Okkasan was cooking breakfast while Otousan was out picking up Akko’s Obaasan and Ojiisan. The two lovebirds help with making breakfast, finishing it just as Akko’s father and grandparents arrived. Akko pulls Diana away from table setup to introduce her to her Obaasan first. The lovely old lady pulls them both into a tight hug, squeezing the air out of Diana’s lungs while Akko giggles happily. Next Akko’s Ojiisan firmly shakes Diana’s hand and finds her grip perfectly firm. He smiles at her and hugs Akko, who pulls Diana into his hug with her. Diana laughs and joins in on the warm hug.
Diana still could not believe how wonderful Akko’s family was, and just how much they shared their love with her.
Everyone heads toward the table for breakfast, except Diana, who grabs Akko’s hand and holds her back for a second. “Thank you for bringing me. I love it here and your family is just amazing. I can see where you got all of your good qualities.” Diana hugs Akko from behind and pecks her cheek. Akko leans her cheek into the kiss and smiles happily.
“I’m glad I could involve you. Now let's eat, I am really hungry.” Diana laughs and rolls her eyes, letting Akko go so they could sit and eat. Obaasan begins by asking Akko the same questions Okkasan had asked the night before, making Akko launch into her long winded stories about their life in England and their plans. Diana smiles and listens patiently, slipping her hand over to Akko’s thigh again. This time Akko only uses one arm to gesture wildly and the other takes Diana’s hand in return.
Diana and Akko hold hands until breakfast is finished. They separate while they help clean up and sit down to open presents. Akko sits in Diana’s lap, having added a bow to her head, which made everyone laugh. Diana asked permission to unwrap her ‘really heavy’ gift first. Everyone but Akko laughed heartily at the joke before giving her permission to open the first gift. Diana took the bow off of Akko’s head and kissed her on the lips. Akko cheered up and forgot about the joke, kissing her back.
They begin opening presents, Akko continues to sit in Diana’s lap with Diana’s arms wrapped around her waist. Okkasan looks over at the cute couple and asks, “Diana? What is your family up to this Christmas?”
Diana grimaces and Akko look over her shoulder at her love. Diana looks over at Okkasan and gives a half smile. “Well, both my parents passed away when I was little. My aunt raised me, poorly, she wasn’t too fond of me. We are still on barely talking terms, so I have no idea what they are up to.” Everyone looks at Diana with sympathy.
“I am very sorry to hear that dear. You are welcome here anytime, and if you wish, you can call us if you need someone to talk to, about the crazy child you live with, or any problem.” Okkasan offers with a warm smile. Diana’s heart is greatly warmed from the offer. Only Akko seems to feel upset with the offer.
“What do you mean ‘crazy child’? That’s not fair.” Akko pouts, crossing her arms and slumping in Diana's lap. Diana looks at her pouting girlfriend and kisses her cheek, nuzzling into Akko’s neck.
“We love you Akko, but you are a crazy child,” Diana coos into Akko’s neck. Akko huffs and frowns at her giggling family.
“Well Diana, do you have any happy childhood memories, to remember your family?” Okkasan asks. Diana looks over and smiles softly, nodding against Akko’s shoulder.
“Yes. I have many good memories. Playing with my mother, riding horses with her, snuggling with my parents in front of a fire. And actually, one of my favorite memories was going to the Shiny Chariot show, the one Akko also happened to be at. We found out a few years ago that we were both fans and went to the same show.” Akko smiles, thinking of her own memories from back then. Akko clasps her hand over Diana’s as they held Akko across her midriff.
“Oh my. What a sweet coincidence. Akko sure was crazy about that Chariot girl. She would dress up as her all the time, pretending to do magic, running around wildly and yelling spells at everyone. I sure hope you did not trouble your parents that much.” Okkasan laughs at the memories of her wild child. Akko was not nearly as amused.
Diana shakes her head and stifles a giggle against Akko’s shoulder. “No, thankfully I was not as crazy. But I did collect the special card and energetically play pretend based around Shiny Chariot. My parents liked watching my magic shows, cheering me on, wanting an encore. They really were great.” She slumps against Akko and smiles more, remembering all her happy childhood memories. She was glad she could share them with her new family. One just as good as her parents, just as supportive and loving.
Does anyone have any LWA oneshots or short stories they want me to write?
If so I want to here them. I love writing shorts due to their smaller commitment and time requirements. But I'm curious to here what other people want to read or even collab on the story. Hope to here from some people (Feel free to dm me or leave a comment) and until I finish another chapter, have a good one.
Diana was feeling good. She was still a little sore and had a slight limp, but she was allowed to walk around without having to roll around in that infernal chair. She stretched for good measure and groaned softly, working out her soreness. Another reason she was feeling good today was Akko finally got released from the infirmary today. The nurse had told Akko, or rather scolded her when she tried magic right after being told no magic for a few days. Diana shook her head and smiled softly at the thought of Akko doing something so reckless, yet something so Akko.
Diana got ready for the day, even though it was the weekend she dressed in her school uniform. She brushed her hair with her new comb, making sure her hair was perfect for her visit with Akko in an hour. She smiled at herself in the mirror and steeled her anxious nerves. She wanted to tell Akko how she felt, she was confident Akko would understand and maybe even like the thought. She had a lot of time to think after their really embarrassing talks that got interrupted by Amanda, Hannah and Barbara. Akko seemed happy to be with her, and the other girls never teased them like this before. They must know something so Diana was going to shoot her shot and hope it doesn't crush their relationship into oblivion, leaving her world dark and lifeless, but it's fine. Akko will not push her away. Hopefully. Her confidence wavering the closer she got to seeing Akko.
Diana walks down the halls with her head held high and a faint smile on her lips. She looks out on the tarnished courtyard and feels a shiver go down her spine. She stops and looks around, trying to figure out why she got the chills. She stared long and hard at a deep shadow along the edge of the building nearby. She thinks she sees movement and cautiously puts her hand on her wand, narrowing her eyes at the dark spot. Nothing moves as she stares so Diana casts an illumination spell, sending it over to find nothing, just a spot deep in shadow. Diana frowns and puts her wand back. She turns on her heels and continues walking towards Akko’s room, the pep in her step returning.
Behind her the shadows ripple and shift before becoming still once more. Two eyes open within the darkness to watch the blonde hair recede back into the building. The eyes blink and disappear, the shadows shift once more before stilling.
Diana nears Akko’s dorm room and hears a loud, animated voice complaining on the other side. It sounded like the person talking was upset about being unable to use magic. Of course Akko would be loudly complaining to her roommates. Diana shakes her head and smiles softly. “Oh Akko,” she breathes out. She raises her fist, knocks curtly on the door and takes a step back, listening to the loud voice quiet and loud footfalls quickly near the door. Akko’s door creaks open and her head pops out of the crack.
“Oh hi Diana! I’m almost ready. Be out in a sec.” Akko disappears back into the room and makes a racket of finishing changing before she exits her room, waving at her relieved roommates. Akko was wearing a cute red t-shirt with a puppy smiling on it and a grey skirt that was just as short as her others. She was still wearing her red sash around her slim waist. Diana takes in everything she can before Akko speaks, “I’m glad you wanted to hang out today. It’ll be fun to get out after being stuck in that stupid bed so much.”
Diana laughs softly. “I thought you loved staying in bed all day. At least you seem to when you sleep through class.” Diana teases, smirking as Akko’s smile falls to a look of disbelief and shock.
“Diannaaaa.” Akko whines, a cute pout forming. She couldn’t believe Diana was teasing her now just like all her other friends. Akko pouts more at Diana, giving her big, red puppy dog eyes and a really stuck out lower lip, using all her charm to make Diana feel bad. Diana’s heart melts at the sight, making her stomach drop. Her smile fades and she starts to feel really bad, Akko’s guilt tripping look destroying her heart.
“I-I’m sorry Akko. I was only teasing.” She replies softly, her eyes falling to her feet. Akko’s eyes widen as she realizes her pout worked a little too well on the heiress.
“Oh no Diana. I-It’s ok. I didn’t mean to make you upset. I just like that you are the only one who doesn’t normally tease me.” Akko says softly, her eyes falling to the floor as well. Akko shifts shyly, annoyed with herself for taking things too far with her crush, making her feel guilty.
Diana’s heart drops upon hearing Akko’s words. She quickly moves forward and pulls Akko into a tight embrace. Akko yelps softly, surprised by the hug, but quickly melts into the warmth of the embrace. She puts her head into the crook of Diana’s neck and sighs, squeezing Diana tightly and tickling Diana’s neck with her hot breath. Diana closes her eyes and enjoys the warmth of Akko against her. Diana’s arms tighten around Akko’s waist, pulling her firmly against herself. They both stay like that, ignoring the plain as day public display of affection in the hallway to just enjoy each others touch for a moment.
Diana slowly lets Akko go, not forcing her out of the embrace, but letting it end naturally. “I’m sorry Akko, for making you upset. I promise to keep my teasing to a minimum. Just know I do it because I love you...” Diana’s face flushes incredibly red as her eyes widen and she stares at a shocked Akko. That was not how she planned this happening. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN! Her heart starts to beat fast enough she was sure Akko could hear it too. Diana’s mind was racing and it made a split second decision before Akko could react, she had planned to confess, just not like this. She had to make a statement. Diana leans in and pecks Akko’s lips. She pulls back and looks surprised at an even more shocked Akko. Diana waits for what feels like forever for an answer, but one never comes. Her nerves get the best of her, so Diana turns and sprints off, her heart broken that Akko wouldn’t say anything to her.
Akko stands completely stunned for a whole two seconds after Diana kissed her before Diana took off, leaving her in a daze of excitement, confusion, and mind numbing happiness. She barely registers Diana’s way too hasty exit as her mind spins and she melts down inside. She falls on her butt and stares off at the fleeting mint-blonde hair bouncing away, her head cocked to the side. ‘I can’t believe she said she loved me. I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE KISSED ME. BY THE NINE THIS IS THE BEST GODDAMN DAY EVER.’ Akko screams in her head while smiling at the blurry hallway. All this excitement was making her dizzy and useless as she sat on the cold stone floor.
After a few moments a finger taps Akko’s shoulder as she sits on the floor with a stupid grin plastered to her face. Akko slowly turns her head to look up at the blurry and dark shape leaning over her. “Hello,” Akko says with her stupid grin.
The figure giggles, which makes Akko feel uneasy. That giggle didn’t sit right with her. “That was so adorable.” The figure says with a sickly sweet voice. “Too bad she ran off before she could see your reaction. And to think that’ll be the last thing she remembers about you.” The sickly sweet voice said with such a cheery and happy tone, as if she didn’t just say such ominous things. Akko opens her mouth to say something to the dark figure, but before she can move she crumples to the floor, her vision slowly fading to black, that awfully sweet giggle echoing in her ears.
Diana runs as fast as she could towards the outside world. Her heart pounds painfully in her chest as her feet pound down the halls she knows she shouldn’t be running down. How could she think Akko would love her back. Why the hell did she kiss her?! Akko certainly would never talk to her again after that. By the nine, Diana was furious at herself and devastated at losing Akko forever. Diana runs outside and keeps going towards the outside of the library to hide in the bushes. She pushes her way through the branches until her hands collide with the walls of the school. Diana breathes heavily and squeezes her eyes shut. She sinks to her knees and rests her forehead against the cold stone. She feels herself sink into the soft dirt and she lets out a deep sob. Diana crumples in on herself and begins to cry softly into her hands. How could she be so stupid to lose Akko, the light of her life. Diana punches the dirt angrily, sinking her fists into the soft dirt repeatedly. She cries, releasing all the pent up emotions within, letting her raw emotions out. It felt good to release them, instead of keeping them pent up and hidden away. After a little she begins to try and collect herself.
Diana takes a deep and ragged breath before sitting up straight and looking at the stone wall in front of her. She places her hands against the cold stone and traces the cracks and the mortar between stones. She takes a few more deep breaths and calms her nerves. Diana pulled her hands from the wall and began to run her palms down her thighs, kneading her flesh and closing her eyes once more. Akko couldn’t possibly hate her that much. They would never be the same, but Diana had to make the most of it and maybe, just maybe she could be Akko’s friend again. Diana reaches her knees with her palms, her fingers curling over her knee caps before her nails are dragged back up her pale thighs. Diana opens her eyes and nods at the wall before slowly standing, brushing the dirt from her shins. Diana slowly made her way out of the bushes, hoping no one would notice her messy hair and red, puffy eyes. She rubbed her thighs anxiously as she thought about her next steps, what would she do now that her relationship with Akko was tainted and possibly ruined forever. Diana shakes her head and starts walking back the way she came, to find Akko and apologize for her rash and stupid feelings, especially for how she acted them out.
Constanze was in her workshop working on her battle mech when the alarm went off. She jumped out from behind her mech and ran to Stanbot, who was jumping up and down, waving its arms and pointing to a screen. Constanze’s eyes widen as she sees Akko being dragged rather crudely across the school grounds and into the forest. A dark shape that resembled a girl dragged Akko by her forearm, the rest of Akko was spread eagle out behind her on the ground, Akko’s head lolling around and drooling.
As the figure disappears into the trees with Akko in tow Constanze jumps up and hits a big red button. She gathers her go bag and motions at Stanbot to get the mech up and ready outside for her.
Constanze rockets out from her workshop through the bed entrance, surprising Amada who jumps and almost falls over off her own bed. “What the hell Constanze! First some thingy on my desk started yelling at me then you come flying up here like a bat out of hell. What’s going on?” Amanda looks on at Constanze as she gestures wildly in response. Amanda looks at her in confusion. “WHAT?” Constanze growls and grabs a piece of paper and quickly scrawls out a basic message just for Amanda, ‘Akko danger hurry now,’ before thrusting it against Amanda’s chest and running out of the room. Amanda quickly reads the message and jumps off of her bed, grabs her wand, and runs to gather their friends. They needed to act fast.
Amanda rushes to the red teams dorm to grab Sucy and Lotte before barreling to the blue team’s dorm to grab Hannah and Barbara. Luckily they run into Jasminka returning from a study session at the library and grab her too. With most of the team together the girls rush outside to find Constanze finalizing her suit up process. Her mech stands up with her inside and points to the forest where she saw Akko getting taken. The mech deploys brooms for all the girls present and they all take off, desperate to find Akko before it is too late.
Diana walks briskly on the other side of the school back towards Akko’s dorm. She nervously tugged down on her skirt hem, trying to keep it together, doing all she could to not run away and hide again. After a surprisingly long walk back to Akko’s dorm, Diana steeled herself and knocked on the heavy wood door. She waited a minute and with no response she tried once more, knocking firmly against the thick wood. Diana began to feel dread build up within her as Akko failed to answer the door. Either she wasn't there and had run off too, or she really didn’t want anything to do with Diana, which hurt Diana’s heart immensely to even think about. Diana slowly turned on her heel and walked briskly away, Akko had to have run off somewhere. It was up to Diana to find her and try her best to fix things. Akko loves to sit up on the tower’s ledge and dangle her feet over the edge and she likes to sneak off to the north building of the school. Diana would start with those two places first, then maybe check the bench in the park where she found Akko after her heart was broken by Shiny Chariot. Hopefully Akko hadn’t been that broken by Diana’s accidental confession.
Diana starts with the tower, walking up all the stairs like Akko typically does. She huffs and puffs as she finally reaches the top. She looks around to find the area empty and devoid of Akko. It felt chilly and lonely without Akko beside her up there. Diana shivered even though it was rather warm out and began the long journey back down the stairs. As she exits the tower she looks up and closes her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her face for a moment before heading towards the off limits north building. Diana fiddles with her blue sash as she made her way across the green grounds that were now filled with potholes and rubble. Her hand shook softly as she neared the building and its ruins. She hadn’t really thought about what she planned on saying to Akko when she finally found the girl. She knew she should apologize at least and hope that she will be able to stay Akko’s friend, or at least be able to become Akko’s friend once again, eventually.
Diana carefully made her way through the ruins, looking in every possible hiding spot for the keeper of her heart. After a good thirty minutes of careful searching she came up empty handed. Almost defeated, Diana makes her way out of the ruins and back to her dorm. She collects her broom and looks at the messy coffee table. She frowned and wondered why Hannah and Barbara would leave it in such a mess. Diana shook her head and made her way out into the hallway. She didn’t have time to worry about her teammates leaving a mess and disappearing. She needed to find Akko as soon as possible.
Diana makes her way outside and mounts her broom. She flies to the terminal and makes her way to town. After a short trip Diana dismounts her broom and makes her way down to town and the hidden away park bench where Akko had to be. Diana looks around while she strides through town, watching happy couples hold hands, sit together sharing some ice cream, and be happy with one another. It makes her heart sink when she thinks about how she made Akko feel, she didn’t want Akko to feel bad, she just wanted someone to feel happy with, to hold hands with, to share an ice cream. Diana sighs deeply and lets her head hang low as she nears her love’s location. Diana rounds the corner of bushes and begins to speak to Akko before looking up and finding an empty bench, void of the light she needed in her life. Diana walks up to the bench and collapses into it. Maybe she didn’t really know Akko after all. Maybe she didn’t deserve Akko in her life after all.
Just as Diana hits an all time low since her mother died, she feels her wand buzz. Diana frowns and looks at it. Diana cocks her head at it before the metal stick shot out a thin stream of magic that quickly turned into an urgent message. ‘Akko has been taken. Hurry to the forest, south of the school.’ Diana’s eyes widen in fear. All this time she was searching and crying pathetically all the while Akko had been kidnapped. Diana literally kicks herself and mounts her broom to head back to campus. She needed to save Akko. Then she could face her feelings and Akko’s.
Amanda, Constaze, Jasminka, Lotte, Sucy, Hannah, and Barbara search the forest as thoroughly as possible. The girls scour the woods in the direction Akko was seen being dragged. Constanze searches the ground in her mech, scanning for footsteps and Akko shaped drag marks. The others fly in a back and forth pattern looking for clues. Constanze is barely able to keep track of the drag marks and they follow the faint trail deeper into the woods.
“Hey where is the princess?” Amanda calls out to Hannah and Barbara.
“She went to visit with Akko as far as we know. Did she get taken too?” Hannah says, her voice squeaking as a greater panic begins to set in. If this wasn't an extremely serious situation Amanda would have enjoyed that adorable squeak that came from Hannah.
“Why don’t you try and contact her before assuming the worst. And Constanze only saw Akko being dragged away. No Diana.” Amanda calls out, her eyes staying on the forest below, hoping to spot any clues to help them find her friend. Hannah takes out her wand and speaks to the tip, sending a quick message to Diana. It only takes a minute for an affirmation of receipt and understanding to come back to her. Hannah sighs in relief which makes Barbara do the same. “I think Diana is okay. She responded to my message. Just a quick response though. Hopefully it wasn’t faked by a kidnapper.”
“Way to stay positive,” Amanda growled under her breath. Her eyes spot something on the ground below her, making her dive quickly into the woods. She comes back up with a frown and a torn piece of red sash in her hands. “At least we are still on track.” Amanda says softly. She tucks the fabric into her pocket and the girls keep flying in their pattern with Constaze keeping them on course, following the faint drag marks.
Soon after something catches Amanda’s eye again. This time it wasn’t from the ground. This time it was a shape hurtling at them in the air. Amanda turns to face it, squinting as it nears rapidly. She gulps when she recognizes a very angry Diana hurtling as fast as she could in their direction. “Okay ladies, the angry princess has arrived, and I think she wants to murder someone.”
A week previous, the day started normal. Diana woke up feeling a little tired, but overall she felt good. She got out of bed, changed into her school uniform, and went to breakfast earlier than most. She ate breakfast quickly and went to the library for a short bit to find some books while she waited for class to start. She browsed some of the oldest leather bound books, looking for one in particular. After twenty minutes of searching dusty shelves she doesn’t find it. She frowns and thinks for a few minutes, trying to figure out who would want a book on demonology and summoning. She shakes her head, unable to think of someone in particular. She sighs and decides to head to class now, and see Akko. She smiles softly and walks off, forgetting the whole reason she wanted the book, and getting lost in thoughts of the affectionate brunette. The fact that her favorite hair brush had gone missing as well as one of her sashes and that dark slimy substance she found by her window got overwhelmed by happy Akko thoughts.
The black robe clad witch flipped through the old pages until she found the right one. She cackled evilly and slid her finger down the old, wrinkled, yellowed paper until she found the beginning of the summoning ritual. She begins to gather the summoning materials, drawing the summoning circle, lighting a multitude of candles, and preparing the sacrificial blade. As she prepares, the witch’s small slimy black demon familiar climbs the table and kneels, presenting the mysterious girl with a large clump of blonde hair and a blue sash. The girl smiles evilly and collects the presented materials and pats the small creature on the head. “Good, good, you may go now.” She tells her small familiar. It slides off the table and scurries to its cage where it curls up and falls asleep.
The girl creates a heavy circle of salt and places the ribbon, tied around the lock of hair, in the middle of the circle. The girl cuts her palm and bleeds onto the ribbon and hair, before walking over to her sacrifice. She pulls her familiar from its cage and walks over to the circle. It looks up confused before feeling the knife slit its throat. The girl tosses the corpse into the middle of the circle and began to chant in a low tone. She slices her palm and squeezes her bloodied hand over the hair and ribbon, dripping blood onto the dirty wooden floor. At first nothing happens, until she gets to the last verse of the ritual. Suddenly all of the candles’ flames burn much more intensely and much taller. A howling wind whirls through the small wooden room, picking up as she recites the last word. The wind snuffs out all the candles within the room, but the one in the middle of the room which becomes very small flame. The little amount of light barely allows her to see the feet of a large, ten foot demon standing in the middle of the circle. The girl kneels and whispers. “Great Mistress, I beg of thee to hunt my enemy until they are dead. You may do with her as you wish, as long as she perishes. Do you accept the terms of this contract, the reason for my summoning?” She asks softly, hoping the great demon before her would accept her sacrifice and contract.
A hearty yet evil laugh echoes through the room. “Foolish girl, who do you wish me to kill? Who needs ME to kill them.” It asks the kneeling girl. The girl points to the small salt circle with the targets possessions. The demon flicks her hand and makes the salt move to create a channel to the circle and guide the bloodied ribbon and hair to her. The demon picks up the offered bloodied ribbon and hair. It brings it to her nose and takes a very deep breath, sucking in the scent of her summoner’s blood and the scent of her potential target. “Oooh my. You wish for me to hunt a Cavendish eh, girl?” The demon asks with a smirk. The girl simply nods and stays kneeled with her head lowered. “Then I accept your contract. Now let me free, let me feast upon some of your blood and grow in strength, then I will begin my hunt.” The girl looks up with a faint smile.
“As you wish mistress Mara.” the girl replies to Mara, the demon of death, desire, greed, and hate.
Diana settles down into her second class of the day, setting her books on the desk and sighing as she leans back into her chair. Akko had gotten in trouble again by falling asleep, much to Diana’s chagrin. She shakes her head thinking of the goofy, pain in the ass, but lovable brunette. Diana pulls out her notebook and opens it as well as the book to the pages written on the chalkboard. As class begins she tries to concentrate on her notes and the professor. Her mind drifts occasionally to Akko, particularly the way her half pony bobs when she does literally anything. She smiles faintly and stops her small sketch of the pony tail to try and pay attention once more. Diana had no clue how she could possibly express her recently found feelings about Akko. She didn’t really care that she was a girl, but she wasn’t sure if Akko would feel the same, or even want to be her friend after finding out about Diana’s affection towards her. Diana sighs softly and looks up to the front of the class once more, feeling a little distressed from her thoughts.
As Diana tries to once again get back into her school work mode she gets interrupted by a fairly large rumble through the building. She quirked her eyebrow and looked around at the other confused students. Their professor walks towards the door and peeks around outside to see what was happening. As she peers outside, the wall opposite explodes and throws many students and debris around. Diana gets tossed onto the floor by the explosion, her senses getting muddied by the boom. She sits up in a blind panic and grabs her wand, ready for whatever was about to walk through the large, smoking hole in the wall. She was not ready for the demon who had grown three fold since it had been summoned. The demon grinned widely as she crotched and shuffled into the lecture hall. Diana’s eyes widen as it seems to stare into her soul and move directly at her. Diana raises her wand, pointing it at the nearing demon, hoping to protect herself and the other stunned students.
“Difranieado.” Diana mutters while scuttling backwards on the ground, past the strewn desks. The explosive spell hurdles at the demon who flicks her hand and deflects the explosion. Diana’s eyes widen even more as the creature simply swatted the spell, taking the hit to the hand with little consequence. The skin on Mara’s hand is slightly irritated by the spell, Mara looks at it and smirks.
“That is the power I expect from a young Cavendish.” She replies, reaching down for a panicked and frozen Diana. Diana manages to roll out of the way of the giant hand and get to her feet. Mara keeps smirking and swats her hand sideways, throwing desks as she moves to hit Diana.
Diana barely manages to throw herself to the ground, managing to only let her leg get caught by the swinging hand. She gets thrown twenty feet along the cascading floor. She grunts each time she slides down a level until she stops and pulls her leg to her chest and mutters a quick healing spell to make the pain dull. She looks up at the massive demon crouch walking closer to her. Diana gets up and points her wand at the smirking demon as she gets once more in arms reach. “What do you want with me?!” Diana yells at the demon. She checks her shoulder and sees most of the students have fled the room, leaving a few unconscious girls strewn about. Diana quickly looks back at the demon as it leans down towards Diana.
“I am MARA! Demon of death! I have a contract that involves you little Cavendish.” She leers in Diana’s face. Diana flinches and casts a quick protection spell around herself, seeing Mara’s hand raising off to her side. Mara swats Diana once more, launching her in her little bubble through the wall of the classroom and then the exterior wall. Diana grunts as she gets launched, thankful for her barrier as she crashes through two walls and skids across the grass. Mara quickly follows through the holes, making them bigger. “Strong Little Cavendish. How cute.” She growls as Diana stands on shaky legs. Diana’a hair hangs in her face, making her brush it behind her ears as she crouches with her wand outstretched. Mara laughs and starts taking long strides towards Diana. Soon Mara is fully sprinting towards Diana who breathes as calmly as possible with the huge demon charging at her.
When Mara is almost able to grab her, Diana swings her wand up, making the ground in front of her rise in a thick block of dirt and stone. She quickly lands flat on the ground as Mara kicks the blockage and is sent sprawling over her and into the dirt. Mara grunts, plowing through the dirt. She pushes herself up with an angry glint in her eyes. Diana quickly crawls around the heavily damaged block and looks at Mara get up through the smashed top.
“Sneaky Little Cavendish.” Mara growls. Mara looks right at Diana’s blonde hair, visible through the dent in the block. “Now I really shall enjoy killing you and all of these little pests.” Mara gestures to the school with an evil glint in her eyes. Diana’s eyes widen in fear at the statement and pulls herself up onto the rock, steeling her nerves.
“Never Mara!” Diana yelled, bringing Mara’s attention back to her. Diana stands defiantly with her wand ready. Mara chuckles, but stays quiet before beginning to charge Diana again. Diana sends another heavy explosive spell right at Mara, making the demon dodge to the side before continuing to sprint right at Diana. Diana takes a deep breath and points her wand up, making her rock slab rise further from the ground. Diana launches herself in the air as Mara plows her arms through the rock, crumbling it. Diana lands behind Mara and shoots a fiery blast at the back of the angered Mara. Mara gets hit in the back and stumbles forward a step. She turns quickly and raises her arm to blast the same spell right at Diana, this one though is ten times more powerful. Diana throws up another defensive spell, using all the magic she could to reinforce the shield. Mara was impressed at Diana’s quick thinking and skill for her age, even though she was no match for the great and powerful Mara. Diana’s shield gets crumbled by the blast, sending her skidding backwards through the dirt, making a trench. Mara smirks and walks slowly towards the crumpled, smoking girl.
“Poor Little Cavendish. You are no match for me. Now come along, we must have our fun with the other little pests here.” Mara reaches down to pick up Diana, only to find the slumped girl to disappear as her hand touches her. Mara frowns and feels another fiery blast hit her side, sending her to the ground with a grunt.
Diana stands on wobbly legs on the edge of the school building, leaning against it for support. Her clothes are tattered and burned after the hit she took. She felt drained after her invisibility spell and hologram. She takes deep shaky breathes as Mara stands up, looking even more angry. “You little pest.” Mara spits onto the ground, causing the dirt to sizzle. “I will now really have fun, torturing, killing, destroying everything you love or even care about.” Mara begins to summon demonic wolves from the dirt around her. Five smouldering wolves dig their way up from the ground and encircle Mara. “Go my beasts. Bring me the girl.” She says with a snarl. Diana panics, turning to run as best as she can, struggling with her hurt leg and limping heavily.
Diana slips into the classroom she had been originally attacked in and rushes to the door and out into a different hallway then the one she had been flung through. She hobbles quickly down the deserted hallway, searching for anyone to help her. She hears the demonic wolves howling and running around the room behind her, sending desks clattering across the stone floor. She pushes into a different classroom and shuffles up into the back of the room’s seating area. Diana ducks down behind a desk and pulls her legs close to her body as she breathes heavily. The demon dogs could be heard out in the hallway walking around, their claws scratching the stone floors loudly. Diana closes her eyes and hopes they can’t find her. She racks her brain for an idea that could help her escape or combat the wolves. Her eyes snapped open and she pulls out her wand with an idea. She starts to cast a spell to disrupt her scent when she realizes she cannot hear the dogs anymore. She breathes out a sigh of relief only to have the desk flipped over her and smelly jaws grab her shirt roughly. The dogs pull Diana roughly from her hiding spot and drag her towards the exit. Diana yells loudly and swings her fists at the animals as they nip at her teasingly.
Diana feels the dread build up inside of her, realizing she dropped her wand. Her desperate swings at the snapping beasts begin to dwindle, not because of the bite marks on her hands and wrists, but because she knows she lost. The animals drag her out into the bright light of the courtyard where Mara is standing.
Mara doesn’t notice her demonic dogs pulling the defeated Diana from the school, she has a shield up protecting her front easily from the onslaught of attacks from the professors. Diana doesn’t get hopeful as she watches weakly. Her resolve is broken, the despair had set in making her feel hopeless as the professors fight to protect the school from a formidable demon. Their attacks get absorbed by the shield, making it stronger as Mara holds it up in front of her. Mara checks her shoulder and smiles, seeing her wolves bringing their prey back to her. “Good beasts. Bring her and deal with these pests.” Mara commands. The animals lurch forward, depositing a weak Diana at Mara’s feet before charging the professors.
The professors change the direction of their attacks to the charging wolves. The wolves dodge back and forth as they near the professors. A few get peppered with spells, making them angry, causing their hackles to ignite with fire. Diana watches from the ground next to Mara as the professors manage to take down two wolves and banish them. The other three back off and jump through the windows of the school. The group of professors break up, sending two squads into the school to hunt down the animals before they can terrorize any students. The last squad tries to keep Mara busy with more attacks. Mara simply laughs and throws her shield towards the group, making it explode and shower the remaining professors with a black sludge. Most of the professors manage to shield themselves from the toxic sludge, their shields struggling against the powerfully acidic goo. The poor professors who could not protect themselves in time or did not generate a powerful enough shield get melted with faint screams of horror.
Diana watches on in horror as Mara, gleefully stomps over to the covered and stuck professors. “Oh little toys, your efforts are for naught.” She teases the struggling women. Suddenly the two groups that had split off come back. Mara looks up and quickly steps back as strong assault comes her way. She protects herself with another shield, watching as one group keeps her somewhat busy, the other clearing away the sludge to save their colleagues. Mara frowns, unhappy with this small delay to her plans to level the school. “Pesky vermin.” She growls.
Mara walks back to where Diana is limply laying on the grass. She picks her up and charges at the professors, causing the professors to scatter. Mara leaps up onto the wall, digging her fingers into the old stone. She begins to climb to the roof, launching off into the main grounds. She tosses Diana onto the ground without a second thought, hearing the scream of pain as the girl hits the ground hard. Mara stands over Diana and begins to chant, moving her arms around her and generating her special barrier. Magical walls begin to rise from the ground, rising over her head to form a transparent dome of protection. Mara smiles and looks down at poor Diana. “Oh Little Cavendish, I shall enjoy destroying this despicable place.” Mara points a single finger at Diana and blasts her with a powerful force of air, just to toy with her. Mara’s lips curl into an evil smile, watching Diana fade to unconsciousness. ”Pity, I thought you would enjoy the destruction of your school.” She floats Diana up next to her to show her off to anyone that comes to battle against her. “My trophy.” She says gleefully as the professors conjugate outside of the school, facing her.
The professors begin assaulting the powerful barrier with everything they have. Loud booms, cracks, and whistles echo around the school grounds as the spells explode against the barrier or deflect off the powerful and ancient magic. Mara cackles from within her barrier. She occasionally sends powerful attacks at small groupings of professors, sometimes she singles out some of the professors, sending them flying through the air if they cannot move fast enough.
Mara thinks back to that day, one week ago. Where did that little pest, the one that ruined her plan, come from. She could not place it. Mara got frustrated and smashed the nearest trees to herself. She fumes about her loss to some pesky little girl, some girl who almost destroyed the most powerful barrier spell able to be cast by a single being in one hit. Mara clenches and unclenches her fists in anger. “I swear. I swear I shall kill the Little Cavendish. And her little lackey. They shall both die.” She mutters to herself.
Mara rubs her back, feeling the charred flesh from the explosion that finished her dome. She growled, hating her injured state. Although she had mostly healed herself from the attack, she was still slightly disfigured after the assault. Her summoner had implied it would have been an easy task. It should have been an easy task for a greater demon, yet here she was, hiding in the woods recovering from wounds inflicted by a single mortals attack.
Mara begins to draw in the dirt next to where she sat angrily. She made herself at home in the depths of the Articus forest after having to flee from the girl. Mara spat into the dirt image she drew and watches her spit make the ground bubble. “I shall kill you both. And I shall make it painful.” She swore to herself. The rough sketch of Akko and Diana in the dirt melts away into the boiling dirt as Mara plans her revenge.
The next day Akko wakes slowly. Every time she wakes she feels much better than she had before. Although feeling weak still she sits up and yawns, stretching her arms up over her head. She grumbled sleepily and looked around with half lidded eyes until a new addition to her room catches her eye. She yelps and covers her mouth.
Diana stirs in her wheelchair. She stretches while yawning. She looks around and sees Akko with her hands over her mouth, staring at her with wide eyes. “Good morning Akko” Diana says softly while blushing faintly as Akko stares at her.
Akko opens and closes her mouth like a fish out of water. She manages to pull herself together and puff out her cheeks before whispering, “Diana, the wheelchair.” Her eyes fall to the mediocre thing. It wasn’t much more than some faux leather wrapped around a metal rolling chair.
Diana smiles softly and looks away from Akko. Her look is wistful as she quietly replies, “Yeah, about that.” Diana sighs and raises her hand to brush a strand of perfect blonde hair behind her ear. “It is an unfortunate side effect of my injuries.”
Akko’s face falls and tears start to form in the corner of her eyes. “Di-ana.” She chokes out, her lip wobbling as she holds back the sobs. “I-I’m so sorry.” Her voice cracks and silent sobs slip from her lips. Akko brings her hands to her face to hide her crushed expression. ‘I couldn’t save her. How could I let this happen?’ Akko asks herself. She only looks up when she feels a warm hand on her shoulder. Her red and puffy eyes look up to see a concerned Diana.
“Akko? I… I didn’t mean to make you cry. That was a terrible joke. I just have to roll around in this infernal thing for a few days until I’m more fully healed.” Diana scolds herself for making such a foolish joke. ‘Honestly who would think that a joke about being disabled would be funny?’ As Diana cringes at herself and tries to console Akko, she feels Akko’ slender arms wrap around her neck and pull her into a bone crushing hug.
“You’re awful Diana.” Akko says half seriously into the crook of Diana’s neck. Akko sniffles as she calms down and hides her embarrassed face in the warm and safe crook. Akko finds Diana’s scent to be intoxicating and very calming.
Diana returns the tight hug and turns her head to smoosh her nose against Akko’s ear. “I really am sorry for that Akko. Please forgive me for being so foolish.” Diana asks softly, fully ready to beg Akko for her forgiveness. Diana also takes a second to enjoy the sweet smell of her savior and extremely valued friend.
Akko releases only one arm to wipe her nose and make one final sniffle. She quickly returns her face to her new safe place and whispers softly with her hoarse voice. “Of course Diana. I could never stay mad at you. Just make real jokes next time.”
Diana blushes as Akko returns to her neck for comfort. Not that Diana really minded, it did feel really nice and made her stomach do somersaults. “Of course Akko. I guess I need some pointers from you. “She awkwardly starts to rub Akko’s back from her seated position. “By the nine, this girl will be the end of me.’ While Diana has her internal monologue, Akko tucks her face in further against Diana’s collar. Diana freezes as she feels Akko’s breath ghosting across her chest, she doesn’t dare move.
Akko and Diana’s little cuddle session gets interrupted by a loud, “Yo Akko! Where you at?” from the other side of the curtains. Both Akko and Diana pull away from each other and settle into their respective spots before Amanda, Lotte, Sucy, Constanze, and Jasminka pull open the curtain and file into the small space. “There you are, we’ve been waiting for you to wake up. I wish I could take a week long nap.” Amanda says with a half-smile and her hands upon her head. “And nice to see the princess up and about as well.”
Diana groans and places her face in her hands as Amanda jokes. Akko blushes and pouts at Amanda. “Heyyyyyy. It's not like I chose to pass out for that longggg.” Akko complains while looking between all her friends.
Sucy snickers behind Amanda while Amanda laughs wholeheartedly. “No need to lie in front of Diana. We all know you enjoyed dreaming about her for a week uninterrupted.” Amanda smirks as Sucy falls into a chair snickering wildly. Lotte covers her mouth to muffle the small laugh she let escape her lips.
Akko’s cheeks burn super red. She puffs out her cheeks to retort but decides that it would be better to stay quiet and just take the teasing. She glances over at Diana and sees her in a similar state, bright red and hiding her face. Akko takes a second to admire how freaking adorable Diana looked in her hospital gown, with her lovely blonde hair surrounding her perfect face. ‘Oh look she's looking at me...WHY IS SHE LOOKING AT ME?’ Akko screams internally right before she realized she had been caught staring, by everyone. ‘Oh by the nine, throw me out the window now.’ Akko begs internally. She finally looks away and hears giggles from all the girls except Diana who was blushing even more intensely now that she had caught Akko staring at her like that.
“Guysssss. Leave me aloneeeee!” Akko begs unsuccessfully as her friends only laugh at her request.
“But why Akko? It’s too much fun making you and Diana blush so much. You two are so cute as the tomato couple.” Amanda teases, loving her ability to make them die internally. “Besides neither of you really seem to mind being teased. Isn’t that right Diana?”
Diana glares up at Amanda. Her cheeks stay nice and red as she responds. “I would prefer it if you would stop teasing Akko and I about such silly things.” Diana tries to be as stern as possible to make Amanda stop, but to no avail.
Amanda just laughs some more and mimics Diana’s accent “Amanda stop making a fool of us. Can’t you see we are madly in love?” This causes Diana to huff loudly and start rolling her chair out of the room.
“I’ll see you later Akko.” Diana mumbles right before running over Amanda’s foot with the wheel. Amanda yelps and hops around on one foot while the other is nursed in her hand.
“Bye Diana,” Akko waves from her bed and scowls at Amanda. “That is exactly what you deserved,” Akko crosses her arms and scowls at Amanda. With Diana now gone Akko’s cheeks start to return to her normal pale cheeks.
Amanda looks up at Akko disappointed. “You like it when your girlfriend hurts me?” She asks while pouting, her lower lip jutted out.
Akko scowls and yells, “YOU KNOW WE AREN’T DATING!” Before covering her mouth and blushing once more.
“Well doesn’t mean you don’t want it to happen” Amanda retorts with a knowing look. All of their friends nod in agreement and shrug at Akko.
“W-what. I-I don’t think about Diana like that.” Akko says meekly while shrinking back into her bed.
“No need to lie to us Akko” Amanda shrugs and turns to find a place to sit. “After all you blew up half the school just to save her.”
Akko’s eyes grow huge. “I did WHAT?!”
Amanda and the other friends flinch. “Jeez, I was only kind of kidding. You only took on a demon or something solo and then cried when you thought you hurt Diana. It's not hard to put two and two together.”
Akko puffs out her reddening cheeks once more. “I-” she starts before deflating. “Just drop it okay?” she asks quietly before laying back in her bed and staring at the ceiling. “Anyways, what have you guys been up to for the last week?”
Lotte speaks up and pushes her glasses all the way back on her nose. “Well classes were cancelled. So good news you aren’t behind, bad news is you are stuck in a hospital bed during it and there is a demon on the loose, probably very angry with you.” Lotte smiles nervously as her quick explanation takes a bit of a dark turn.
Amanda speaks up again, this time not to tease Akko relentlessly. “We’ve been preparing for a second attack. The teachers have been keeping guard and teaching upperclassmen, including us, some offensive magic and a little better defensive magic. Not that we could stop one of the Demon’s attacks like you did, you little bad ass.” Amanda leans over the bed with her fist out for a shy and blushing Akko to bump back.
Constanze holds up Stanbot who beeps and starts to speak for Constanze. “We have made lots of progress on our fighting bot! It is close to being done! As well as making big blasters to weaken the shield!” Constanze lowers Stanbot and gives a thumbs up which Akko returns.
“Well I’m glad to hear that you guys are ready. But are you sure it’ll be coming back?” Akko really didn’t want to see that thing again. Not after what it did to Diana. And she wasn’t sure if she would be able to attack with that much force again. Akko still didn’t really know where all that power came from.
“In any case we are prepared. Although I would feel better if you would get your ass out of bed and be ready to help us, you know similar to how you blew the demon up?” Amanda says stretching her arms over head and leaning back in her chair.
Akko laughs shyly. “So, um, I can’t say I know how I did it or if I’d be able to do it again.” She says sheepishly. Akko looks down at her clasped hands in her lap and sighs. “I honestly barely remember what even happened. Professor Chariot filled me in which helped, but I really don’t know what took over and let me do what I did.” Akko deflates with sadness. “I’m sorry guys.” she whispers, mostly to herself.
Sucy rolls her one visible eye and sighs. “Oh Akko you dunce. Why are you apologizing? You clearly have some potential unlike before so stop moping around and figure out how you of all people managed to blow up a demon and send it running, while ALL of Luna Nova’s staff tried their hardest and did nothing.” Everyone stares at Sucy after that but nod in agreement, for the most part anyways.
Akko offers a small smile. “Th-thanks Sucy.” She whispers.
Sucy rolls her eye again and nods. “Sure whatever. Now get better you dunce.” Sucy stands and walks out of the room.
The rest of her friends give her some well wishes and a little bit more teasing before walking out to give Akko some space and rest. “See you tomorrow Akko!” Lotte calls before disappearing through the curtain.
Akko sighs and adjusts her pillows so she can lay back and relax. She had a lot to think about. The demon, her health, Diana, probably other things, Diana, school, and what do you know, Diana again. Akko groans loudly and covers her face with her hands and starts to rub her eyes. ‘Why does this have to feel so difficult? Like why do I have to be so interested in that stupid perfect face and her stupidly perfect hair, and...UGH!’ Akko sighs and drops her hands into her lap. ‘I guess I should tell her before we get obliterated by a Demon.’ Subconsciously Akko squeezes her hands into fists at the thought of Diana getting hurt by the demon. As Akko falls down a rabbit hole of emotions surrounding Diana and keeping her safe, Akko misses the increasing amount of beeps coming from her heart rate monitor. Suddenly the Shiny Rod appears in her lap with a fancy little shower of sparkles. Akko’s eyes widen as she looks down at it. ‘Did I just summon it again? By thinking of...Oh geez.’ Akko’s inner monologue gets interrupted by Nurse Ophelia walking in quickly with a concerned look on her face.
“What in the world is happening in here?” She asks while looking Akko up and down for any obvious problems, all the while her monitor beeps louder. Akko looks at the nurse with big nervous eyes.
“W-what do you mean?” she asks innocently while holding the Shiny Rod tightly to her chest.
“Are you trying to perform magic right now? Didn’t I tell you, you need to rest and refrain from magic while you get better?!” The nurse asks while glaring at Akko.
Akko gulps and shakes her head. “N-No of course not. This just appeared in my lap I swear.” The nurse doesn’t seem to buy it but calms down a little.
“You better put that away and keep yourself calm, otherwise you will be stuck here longer. Understood?” The nurse asks, her eyes softened a little as she looks at Akko staring back like a deer in headlights. Akko nods dumbly and places the Shiny Rod on the bedside table and pulls her hands back into her lap obediently. The nurse nods and watches as the monitor reflects Akko’s calming down. “Good. Now behave. Lunch is soon.” The nurse walks out briskly to leave Akko sitting there petrified.
Akko falls back once more into her pillows and shivers. She pulls her blankets up to her chin and snuggles into the warmth. Her mind wanders back to Diana and everything Akko liked about her before slowly drifting off to sleep.
Diana was glad to leave the stuffed room that was Akko’s infirmary room. She was not glad to be away from the energetic brunette, but she was glad to be away from Amanda. ‘Nine, that girl is insufferable.’ Diana shakes her head as she rolled her chair out of the infirmary and into the halls. She was glad to be finally discharged. It had been quite annoying to be stuck in that bed for five days, well stuck conscious and unable to sleep for five days. When she had heard Akko was unconscious and unresponsive, Diana had nearly had a heart attack. She could not imagine her life without the brunette in it. She had admittedly cried herself to sleep a few times, when she was actually able to fall asleep.
Diana brushes her hair behind her ears as she rolls through the mostly empty halls towards her dorm. She wiggles her toes in her socks and sighs. She really wanted out of the chair. She hadn’t been confined to it for more than twenty four hours, but she already found it insufferable. She turns a corner to roll down an empty corridor. She takes this quiet moment to think about how glad she was that Akko was okay, and that she needed to remember why this demon wanted to harm her and her friends. She found it really hard to remember the hours leading up to her supposed fight with the demon before she was rendered unconscious and held hostage.
Diana shakes her head once more and fixed her hair, tucking the strands she just knocked loose back behind her ears. She decides that she needed to take a nap and think about the last week.
Diana finally makes it to her dorm and opens the door. After struggling to get in the empty room by herself she rolls around the bookshelf and slides up next to her bed. She pulls herself out of the chair and pushes with her legs until she can crawl under her covers and snuggled into the warmth there. She tries to think about the last week but finds her mind drifting constantly to a few events, all of which orbit around Akko. She thinks about what she heard about Akko’s heroics and how she felt special. That thought quickly gets trashed upon by her brain. ‘Akko would have done that for any of her friends. Channel immense power from nowhere, summon the Shiny Rod, and blow up a demon. Any of her friends.’ Diana felt sad at this thought, selfish even, wanting herself to be special in Akko’s eyes. The same way she found Akko special, determined, full of energy, really pretty and cute…’
Diana’s eyes flash open and she blushes furiously. She looks around to make sure no one was around to hear her thoughts about her...friend? She groans and rubs her face with her hands, before running her fingers up her forehead to massage her scalp. ‘I guess I might have feeling for Akko. Real feelings for her, ones making me want her to be more than my friend.’ Diana closes her eyes and manages to relax. ‘And what is wrong with liking her? She deserves to be liked this way. She IS pretty, she IS adorable and cute, and she IS precious to me.’ Diana smiles faintly as she comes to her conclusion, she does like Akko and that is okay. She just probably will never do anything about these feelings. Diana slowly drifts off to sleep with her mind on Akko, particularly her smile and bobbing half pony.
When Diana wakes in the morning she feels much more refreshed. She sits up, yawns, and stretches. She shivers slightly and wraps her arms around herself and realizes she was still in her infirmary gown. She rubs her eyes and slides out of her bed and goes about changing. She takes her time on her unsteady legs before making her way to her stupid wheelchair. She settles into it and rolls herself in the living room. Hannah and Barbara are brewing tea and sitting on the couch. They look up and beam as they see Diana wheeling out of her room.
“Morning Diana! Good to see you back!” They exclaim in unison. Diana smiles at her best friends and roommates.
“Good morning girls. Glad to be back.” Diana rolls up to the opposite side of the coffee table and locks the wheels. “Please tell me you brewed enough for me too?” Diana asks hopefully, craving some tea to warm her core. She rubs her hands together and looks at the steaming pot.
“Of course!” Hannah says casting a retrieval spell to bring a third cup to the table for them.
The tea finishes and Barbara pours everyone a cup. Diana picks up her cup and holds it with two hands, gingerly bringing it close to her lips. She smells it and sighs contently as just the smell relaxes her. All three girls go about blowing on the cups until they cool to a drinkable level and sip their tea. Hannah and Barbara start to do each other’s hair for the day while Diana leans back in her chair and watches with a slight smile on her lips while she watches.
“Could you two bring me breakfast in the infirmary? I was asked to check-in this morning and I do not wish to miss breakfast.” Diana looks to her roommates who smile and nod back.
“Of course Diana.” Barbara says, “It’ll be our pleasure.” Finishes Hannah. They both finish up and stand. “Would you like help?” Barbara asks Diana while motioning to her chair. Diana shakes her head.
“No need, but thank you. I kind of like rolling around. I will see you girls in a bit then. Thank you for your help.” Diana rolls herself backwards and then starts heading for the door. Her roommates open it and hold it wide enough for Diana to easily maneuver out and head towards the infirmary. Hannah and Barbara wave as they head to collect breakfast. Diana wheels herself along the hallways, waving to the few girls wandering about who say hello. Eventually she makes it to her destination and manages to open the door and back into the room. She hears chatter coming from Akko’s little room right before the nurse comes out with a huff and eye roll. The nurse stops and smiles at Diana.
“Oh Miss Cavendish. I am glad you could make it back this morning. Right this way and we can get you out of here.” The nurse guides Diana into another small room for her checkup. The nurse checks her blood pressure, focus, and other cognitive abilities before having Diana stand and work on some physical exercises.
“Very good Miss Cavendish. You are recovering well. I’d say you only have to stay in that chair for another day or two before you can walk around normally, as well with enough energy to support yourself.” The nurse puts her hands on her hips and nods, content with everything. “You are now excused.”
Diana nods and smiles before settling back down and rolling from the small room. She stops and looks over at Akko’s room. The nurse leaves to tend to other things, leaving Diana alone. Diana decides to roll over to Akko’s room and slip in. “Akko?” Diana asks softly as she enters.
Akko perks up in her bed and beams at Diana. “Oh hey Diana, what are you doing here?” she asks, trying to conceal her excitement at seeing Diana.
Diana smiles and rolls on over to Akko’s side. “I came by for my check up, a-and to see you.” A faint blush dusts Diana’s cheeks as she adds that last bit on impulse. Akko blushes as well and laughs shyly.
“How sweet of you. I do appreciate the company. It gets a little lonely here all by myself.” Akko smiles and looks at Diana’s chair. “So how much longer are you stuck in that thing?” Akko thinks back to the previous day and Diana’s poor joke. She shakes her head to the thought, only coming out of her head when Diana responds.
“Hopefully tomorrow. Nurse Ophelia said I was making good progress but my legs need a little more time to recover and gain enough strength for sustained use.” Diana looks down at her legs and wiggles them in the chair before looking up at Akko with a small smile. “But they do work still. Watch.” Diana slowly raises herself and stands next to Akko. Akko watches with a bright smile and look up at Diana towering over her. Before Akko can say anything Diana leans over and kisses Akko’s cheek. “That is for saving me Akko. I hope it is a worthy reward for your heroics.” Diana falls back into her seat with a faint blush. ‘I can’t believe I did that. By the nine, that was risky.’ Diana holds her breath and waits for Akko’s response.
Meanwhile, Akko dies on the inside. Her cheeks explode with a deep red blush and her eyes glaze over. ‘Oh my, oh my, oh my, Diana kissed my cheek. She was like an inch from my lips. And her lips! They were so soft. Only if she would have kissed my lips. AHHHHHHHH!’
Diana looks on concerned as Akko sits there with a dopey smile plastered to her lips whilst staring off into space. “A-Akko?” Diana asks while waving her hand in front of Akko. When nothing happens Diana reaches up and gently boops Akko’s nose. Akko finally stirs, wiggling her nose and blinking rapidly. Diana pulls back and covers her mouth to stifle a giggle. ‘Just like a puppy.’ Diana thinks.
Akko looks over at Diana with her rosy cheeks and shyly replies with, “Sorry about that, you, um, surprised me.” Akko smiles and looks to her hands in her lap. She was very excited about this reward. “And yes I liked that reward” She giggles softly and covers her face with her hands. Before she can say anything else Hannah and Barbara barge into the room with a tray of food for them both.
“Nurse Ophelia made us bring this for you too Akko.” Hannah says while placing it in Akko’s lap while Barbara places a tray in Diana’s lap. “Your welcome.” They utter together while looking at the two blushing girls confusedly. “Did we walk in something? Do you both need some private time?” Both girls ask, narrowing their eyes and looking to both of the other girls who avoid making eye contact.
“Nope I don’t think so. We were just talking. And thank you for breakfast girls” Diana says, looking up at them both from the corner of her eyes.
Akko also looks up and gives a shy smile, hoping they don’t notice her pink cheeks. “Yeah thank you for breakfast.” Akko says softly. She shares a quick glance with Diana, which makes her insides swell with joy. “I can’t believe she kissed me.” Akko’s eyes widen and nearly pop out her head. Her hands fly to her mouth to try and take back the words that were supposed to stay in her mouth, but instead she pulled a classic Akko and said them out loud, in front of Diana, and Hannah and Barbara. Akko looks on in horror as Diana’s face becomes beet red and her roommate stare at her wide eyed and shocked. “IT WAS ONLY ON THE CHEEK AS A REWARD FOR SAVING HER!” Akko blurts out to try and fix things. She really doesn’t help a whole lot, causing Diana to groan and bury her face in her hands. Both Hannah and Barbara look on and slowly start to back out of the room.
“I think we should leave you two alone for a bit.” They say awkwardly, backing away and feeling for the exit while looking between the horribly blushing girls. As they leave they look to each other and stifle a giggle, “See. Told you they were into each other.” Hannah says to Barbara who is resisting a loud squeal. “Yes you were! It’s so cute and ROMANTIC!” Hannah shushes her as they leave the infirmary. That doesn’t stop Barbara from continuing as the door starts to close. “I can’t believe she WAS sneaking wistful looks at Akko during class…”
Akko and Diana listen in horror as the curtain walls of the room muffle absolutely nothing that Hannah and Barbara say to each other. Akko looks to Diana wide eyed. “Wait. You like me too?”
I wrote this fic on AO3 (link on my page), there you can read some of my notes on this project. I just felt like adding it here for others to enjoy.
“No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no” Akko screamed in her head as she recklessly barreled her way through the halls. Her rapid footsteps echoing through the halls as she sprinted. All she could hear at the moment was the blood pounding in her ears and the faint screams and booms from outside. She glances out a passing window at the flashes from outside before slowing a bit, but not much. It only makes her panic more.
She skids around the next corner and stops to catch her breath, with her hands on her knees. The door just a few feet in front of her is gone, blown to smithereens, pieces strewn everywhere. The dread only grows inside of her now. She sprints out into the dim sunlight to see it. The giant transparent green dome around the forty foot tall creature.
She gulps and looks around the towering monster to see all of the professors casting barrage after barrage of offensive spells at the barrier to only have them snuffed out like tossing matches at a stream. Inside, the demon cackles and casually tosses powerful spells back at the professors, sending them scattering in panic, or flying through the air, only to take up their useless attempts at stopping it again.
If only that was the worst of it. That THING, that MONSTER, that UTTER BITCH took her. This horrible monster towering over everyone, easily blocking all attacks and effortlessly sending her own back was a demon. How could it be worse than a demon? Well the only thing Akko truly loved with all of her little gay heart had been captured and tortured by that demon. The girl that only smiled that special smile for her. The only girl who could help Akko become a proper witch. That demon had Diana and had hurt her. This made Akko extremely furious.
Akko glares back at the impenetrable barrier that separated her from Diana with such hatred and anger someone could have sworn that glare alone would have put a hole through the barrier. Akko did not know why the hell Diana had been very forcibly torn from her class and blasted with magic relentlessly until she collapsed, all the while this demon smirked with pure glee. All she knew was that Diana needed her. She felt the power boiling up within her as she looked at Diana floating unconscious like a trophy for everyone to see. She was in rough shape. Her face was bruised and her clothes torn. At any other time Akko might have been sneaking glances at the innocent extra bits of exposed skin on her crush, but this was no time for such things. Diana floated with her body slightly angled back with her arms dangling and her hair splayed out.
As Akko stormed out of the school and strode out towards the battle, she breathed in deeply. She was laser focused on the Demon. Students scream at her to get back as she strides with pure anger towards the explosions and screams from professors and students alike. “HEY DEMON!” she yells. An explosion not far off sends a shock wave past her, blowing her hair back to show off the pain and anger burning in her crimson eyes. “YOU GIVE ME BACK DIANA RIGHT NOW!”
The demon’s smirk grows as she turns from her toys that she was playing with to look at the little girl striding towards her defiantly. “Or what?” she scoffs with a booming voice. The professors all stop their assault once the demon turns her attention away from them and they all stare over at Akko with pure panic.
“Akko run!” Chariot yells when she sees Akko challenging this extremely powerful being. Chariot starts to sprint towards Akko to get her to step back, using magic enhancements to run faster, when the demon laughs maniacally and sends a powerful blast, one meant to wipe out at least ten fully shielded professors, right at her to wipe Akko off the face of the Earth. Akko does not flinch and goes full auto-pilot. She simply raises her hand with confidence as the ball of pure magical energy hurtles right at her. The Claiomh Solais appears in Akko’s hand right before the ball of energy hits her. Akko casts a simple protective spell, one that would get smashed as if it were tissue paper versus a tank, and takes the hit full on.
Chariot can only watch in fear as Akko gets hit head on. The blast causing a resounding boom. The flash from the explosion is blinding and makes everyone watching flinch. The ground where Akko had been standing was absolutely obliterated and all that was left was a huge crater. Chariot falls to her knees with a heart wrenching sob. Akko, her favorite student, the endless ball of joy, gone, just like that. Her hands come up to her face to muffle her cries of despair. Everyone watches the smoke clear with sadness in their hearts as they realize that their lovable idiot had to be gone.
The demon laughs and turns back to the professors. “Now little toys, is that all you got?” She asks mockingly while they all stand there unsure how to continue. They all turn their eyes back to their foe who smiles evilly upon them.
“HEY! I WAS TALKING TO YOU!” a voice booms from the crater. The demon turns and her smile drops to one of pure confusion. From the crater rises Akko on the Shiny Balai unscathed, surrounded by a simple protective spell and looking PISSED. “GIVE. ME. DIANA.” She growls at the demon who cocks her head in confusion. The air around crackles with intense magic as she floats towards the demon.
“H-how are you still alive child?” she questions. No one could ever withstand such a blast. The demon had been casually throwing around spells with enough power to kill one of the nine olde witches. And yet there is this child, completely unfazed by it.
Akko clenches her fists and stares down the demon. “You call that a spell huh? If you don’t give me Diana then I will have to show you real power.” Akko barely knew what she was saying. She had so much adrenaline and magic pumping through her that she was pretty much saying whatever was the first thing to pop up in her mind.
The demon looked on incredulously. “How dare you challenge me child. You have no power. I have all the power you wish you could have.” Her eyes gleam with anger at this smug little thing that dare call her weak. With a roar of anger the demon forces the ground under Akko to explode upwards at her. Akko reacted quickly, but not quick enough as the surge of earth smashes into her shield and launches her into the sky. The professors and students watch as the demon sends Akko flying with ease.
The demon watches Akko disappear into the sky after her attack and turns back to the professors who started attacking once more. “Annoying little toys,” she growls while starting to throw smaller attacks at them for fun.
Akko tumbles upwards and eventually slows to a halt when she grabs the Shiny Balai and turns it back into the Claiomh Solais. She starts to free fall back down towards the fight a little fazed, but ready and determined. She could barely see the large flashes of magic from this high up. She takes a deep breath and starts to chant. “Noctu,” She keeps falling faster. “Orfei,” The wind whips past her, tugging at her uniform. “Aude,” Akko’s eyes narrow at the slowly growing dome below her. “Fraetor.” Her eyes flash with confidence as Shiny Arc appears in her hands. She pulls the bowstring back, forming the arrow using pure unrestricted power formed from her anger towards the demon for harming the one she loves. As she screams at the top of her lungs “SHINNNYYYYYYYYY,” the power keeps flooding into the arrow until it glows brightly with a deadly power of destruction fueled by love. “ARRRRRRCCCCCCCCC!” She releases her magic arrow straight down towards the top of the demons dome. The arrow streaks down with much more power than the one which took down the Noir Missile. The resulting explosion sends a massive dust shock wave all over the school and deafens everyone.
As the dust clears everyone looks on at the barrier in pure shock. It had deep spider web cracks over every single foot of it. The demon was on the ground with a protective arm over its head. It looks up to see the small figure of Akko still streaking down towards her. Fear flashes over her eyes as she looks around her previously impenetrable strong barrier. “H-how” she mutters, unable to comprehend how this mortal could nearly destroy her barrier in one hit. Her eyes widen as she watches Akko keeps coming right at her.
Everyone else looks around in shock for the source of the destructive blast. Eyes eventually follow the demon’s up into the air to see the small black dot and glowing shape falling quickly towards the dome. A collective gasp echoes from the mouths of the students and professors as they realize who it is.
Akko could not tell exactly how much damage she did but she knew one more hit and that barrier would be no more. She cocks her arm back and begins to pull the string back once more. “SHINNYYYYYYYYY,” Her power flows into the arrow once more. “ARRRRRRCCCCCCCCCC,” She releases the arrow once more. Shiny Arc sends it streaking down into the barrier. The loudest boom yet echoes around the school as the barrier shatters, sending pieces flying about before they dissipate. Professors and students jump for cover as another shock wave washes over them.
The explosion blows straight through the damaged top of the barrier and engulfs the demon in an intense blaze. Everything inside is turned into a crisp, well except the demon who flees, screeching bloody murder before taking off into the woods while smoldering.
The professors charge into the once shielded area to find only overturned earth everywhere. The students look on with shock. Akko just took on the demon solo, destroying everything but the extremely powerful being. Or so they thought. No one saw the spell that was fired right after the arrow that slipped into the barrier milliseconds after the Shiny Arc arrow connected and crippled the barrier. It shot through the hole as everything around it became intense fire, until it made contact with Diana’s falling body. It wrapped her in an intense small bubble of pure magic fueled by love. It fell into the earth as it ruptured from the force of the blast and got nestled under the overturned earth, keeping Diana as safe as one could.
People start to search for any sign of the heiress as Akko finally comes close to the ground, turning the Claiomh Solais from the Shiny Arc into the Shiny Balai just before making contact with the ground, effectively slowing herself enough to do a superhero landing. She quickly got up and hurried to where she could feel her magic bubble and started to dig with her hands. The students and professors watched sullenly as Akko dug, to them hopelessly for her friend. They watched as they thought she dug for what was lost forever not that was hidden under the burning dirt. Akko’s hands cupped and threw dirt until the soft blue of her magic bubble could be seen. Akko sobs with relief, glad she did not destroy her only love. Tears stream down her now dirty cheeks as she looks inside at a still unconscious Diana.
Akko runs her hand over the bubble and makes it rise from the dirt to gently rest Diana’s unconscious but safe body in her arms. Akko buries her face in Diana’s flowy blonde hair and cries. Professors run up to her and start checking on Diana’s health while Akko holds her protectively. Chariot manages to pull Akko from Diana so she could be transported to the infirmary. Chariot starts to check on Akko for injury and finds nothing, not a scratch after that explosive fight. Chariot dismisses her thoughts and brings Akko into a hug. Akko nuzzles into the embrace and slowly stops crying as Chariot rubs her back. “It’s ok Akko, it’s over, you saved her,” Chariot whispers into her students ear. Akko subconsciously squeezes Chariot back and starts to calm down slowly. She pulls away enough to meet Chariot’s gaze with her own intense and puffy eyes. “Thank you,” she replies hoarsely. Akko starts to stand up, “I need to make sure she is okay,” Akko mutters before turning to follow the medical staff. She stumbles a few steps and watched confused as her world turns dark and suddenly starts to spin. Chariot watches as Akko stumbles and passes out, falling into the overturned dirt with a soft thump. The massive amount of magic she used finally catching up to her, leaving her drained and weak. Chariot rushes over and gets a nurse over quickly.
When Akko wakes she is staring at the white washed ceiling and the sterile smell hits her nose full force. Her nose wrinkles from the strong smell, causing her to groan with annoyance. She tried to sit up but finds her body unwilling to comply. God she felt so tired. Her eyes barely wanted to stay open. Akko tries to look around but finds it to be dizzying. She squeezes her eyes shut to protect her eyes from the harsh light before quickly passing out again.
When she wakes again she feels better, still tired and weak but much better. Now she can lift her arm to rub her itchy nose before she looks around and finds herself in a curtained off area with her alone in the medical bed. The soft beep of a heart rate monitor next to her confuses her. She looks at her arm and sees an IV inserted into the crook of her elbow. She does not feel like she has the strength to sit up fully. She huffs loudly and eases back into her pillows. ‘What even happened?’ she asks herself while trying to remember why she was in the infirmary again. ‘Something about a mean demon, and Diana.’ She hums, annoyed with her poor memory. ‘OH SHIT DIANA!’ Akko yells internally while her eyes shoot wide open. Right then the nurse walks in as Akko tries to force herself up. Nurse Ophelia walks in and gently, yet firmly pushes Akko back into the bed.
“Stay young lady, you need your rest.”
Akko begins to complain, “But Diana!” before being shushed again. Akko pouts and leans back into the sheets, showing her disapproval. “I need to see her,” Akko whines while the nurse rolls her eyes.
“You can see her when you are rested.” the nurse says curtly. “Then and only then may you go see Miss Cavendish.”
Akko huffs and puffs out her cheeks. “Fine but tell me how she’s been”. Akko begs with her eyes to the older woman.
“She is recovering well, she is almost ready to be released.” She says matter of fact.
That causes Akko to beam before she changes to confusion. “After such a short time?” she asks with her brows scrunched together.
The nurse sighed softly and finishes some basic tests on Akko before turning to look into Akko’s eyes. “Miss Kagari. You have been unconscious for six days. The amount of magic you used drained your body so badly you nearly died. I have no clue how you managed to channel that much energy at once and for two attacks, but it left you with barely enough energy to keep living. It was quite reckless.“ The nurse motions to the heart rate monitor and IV. “I had to use civilian technology to keep you alive while your body and magical aura recharged.”
Akko’s mouth drops open. “WHAT?!” she asks, or rather yells which causes the nurse to flinch.
“Miss Kagari I beg of you to keep your voice lowered in my infirmary. And yes. You heard me. ” She turns to leave while Akko lays totally in shock. Her of all people almost died from using too much magic? Is that why she couldn’t remember anything?
Akko melts back into her somewhat comfy bed and thinks back to six whole days previous, her last mixed memories. She could still barely recall what happened. Big mean demon, Diana was in trouble, she saved Diana? No that wasn’t right. Was it?
A head popping through the curtains derails her chain of thought and brings a huge smile to her face. “Professor Chariot!” she says gleefully. Her professor smiles softly and walks into Akko’s small room. “Akko, how are you feeling?” She asks while placing the back of her hand to Akko’s forehead.
Akko’s smile weakens a bit. “I feel really tired.” She admits with a small shrug. “Other than that I can’t really remember what happened to be honest, except that Diana was hurt. But the stupid nurse won’t let me see her.” Akko gives an innocent half smile while Chariot face palms and shakes her head.
“Oh Akko. You are the only one I know who would do what you did and then forget all about it and still be more concerned about your friend than yourself.” Chariot sighs and meets Akko’s soft and meek smile. “Well a demon attacked the school. It targeted Diana and took her. All the professors tried to fight it unsuccessfully. Honestly I have no idea what you were doing. But you ran out of nowhere and challenged the demon.” Chariot rubs her temple. “The demon should have killed you with its first blast. Somehow you came out of the smoke with the Shiny Rod unscathed.” Chariot looks back at Akko as she listens attentively. “This seemed to confuse the demon who then used the ground under you to launch you up into the sky. I don’t know what happened after that. The professors and I went back to fighting the demon while hoping you were OK.” Chariot shakes her head. “We couldn’t do anything to that barrier around the demon and Diana. Then out of nowhere the top of the barrier exploded and was heavily damaged. One hit. Akko you nearly destroyed it with one hit from I’m guessing Shiny Arc.” Chariot suddenly looks tired and sits down on a chair next to the bed. “We looked up and saw you falling towards the barrier before you shot yet another Arc into the barrier. It blasted everyone back and shattered the barrier with ease. The demon fled, clearly very injured. Everyone thought Diana was gone. I guess you somehow cast a protection spell around Diana because when you landed you started digging through the upturned earth and pulled her out. She was surrounded by a blue barrier. Afterwards, the nurses took her and you tried to follow before falling on your face and passing out for six days.” Chariot finishes the recap and stands. She rubs her arm and sighs. “Akko, next time be more careful. Please.”
Akko listens confused. “That sort of sounds like me. The running right at danger part. But everything else?” she asks. Akko closes her eyes and thinks hard. Some things were coming back to her. She remembered feeling powerful, really powerful. And she…used that power to protect something really important to her. Her ears and cheeks quickly heat up and become quite red as she remembers her motives. “Well.” She whispers “I sort of remember a few things.” When she opens her eyes she avoids looking at Chariot’s concerned, motherly gaze.
“Akko are you ok? Your face is almost as red as my hair.” Chariot asks.
“Yep” Akko replies quickly “All good. Nothing wrong here. Is it hot in here? It might be hot in here” Akko starts to ramble to cover up her embarrassing revelation.
Chariot raises her brow with a slight, possibly knowing look. “Alright Akko.” she says softly while stepping away. “If you need anything don’t be afraid to ask.” As she is about to leave Akko speaks up quickly.
“Um Professor? Could you, um, check on Diana for me? And um, tell her hi for me?” Akko’s voice cracks as she shyly pulls her sheets up to hide her somehow growing blush. Chariot laughs softly and looks over at Akko. “Of course”
Chariot leaves Akko to die internally. Akko mentally kicked herself for pretty obviously making her feelings known. She groans into her hands and lays back fully once more. “Shit” she mumbled. Akko sighs and pulls her blankets up as high as they would go and settles in. ‘I guess my friendship with Diana is over now. Idiot’ Akko mentally slapped herself for being so foolish as to make her desires known. Everyone had to know after what she apparently did. Her memory was still fuzzy but she full remembers how she felt. ‘I guess it was worth it, to see Diana alive and well again was worth it.’ Akko sighs softly and closes her eyes. She quickly drifts off to sleep, letting the exhaustion take her.
If you have been following along then you should know that today’s prompt is. If not I hope you enjoy it anyways. Here is the final part of my short stories. Enjoy!
Akko was NERVOUS. Holy cow, she wasn’t sure how she was standing right now. She was shaking like crazy as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her dress looked really, really good on her, accenting her features without being too fancy and unnecessary. She rubbed her hands up and down her stomach to try and calm herself down. ‘It’s just Diana, I love Diana, I can do this. She loves me too, she wouldn’t still be here otherwise.’ Akko said to herself while doing a final check over. There was a faint knock on the door, making her jump. She breathed out and slowly opened the door to find Lotte there.
Lotte smiles softly and asks softly “Is everything okay Akko? It’s almost time. Do I need to delay it or anything?” She holds Akko’s shaky and pale hand, which Akko uses to pull Lotte into the room with her, promptly closing the door.
“I’m just so nervous Lotte! I can’t stop myself from shaking and I feel like a mess.” Akko cries out, pulling Lotte into a tight hug. Lotte yelps and gently wraps her arms around Akko, patting her back and shushing her like a child.
“It’s okay to be nervous Akko. Diana loves you deeply. You have nothing to be worried about, okay?” She asks. She notices Akko’s grip loosen a little and a few small sniffles against her neck. Her dress was getting a little wrinkled and so was Akko’s, but she really wanted her friend to feel confident and happy right now. “Listen to me. You are going to get yourself together. Go out there, wow everyone because you look beautiful, and get your ass married to Diana. Alright?” Lotte says sternly, but her voice is filled with love for her friend.
Akko nods and slowly pulls away, wiping the tears from her eyes. “Okay, okay. Thank you Lotte. It really means a lot to me to have you here.” Akko pulls Lotte into another tight hug, this one much quicker. Akko turns and makes sure her eyes are not really red and that her dress isn’t too wrinkled before turning back to Lotte and nodding to her. Lotte nods back and slips out of the room. Akko takes a deep breath and mentally prepares herself.
She hears music begin to play, telling her to get her butt moving. She has a really pretty, kind, amazing, hot, smart, lovely girl to marry and she was not about to make her wait any longer.
Akko steps out of the room in her calf length white dress with lace designs over the base material. She sees her Otousan waiting for her in a tux. She smiles and takes his arm and turns towards the hallway that leads to the aisle. Otousan squeezes her arm and smiles proudly, guiding her towards the crowded room. As they round a corner of the old stone walls of Diana’s manor, Akko’s eyes scan the crowd of family and friends, all of which are looking at her. Akko looks down the aisle, ignoring her family, Diana’s family and their friends to look at the only girl to have stolen her heart. Diana stands by the alter in a wonderfully well made tux that hugged her in all the perfect places. Akko beams at Diana who looks up from her feet to meet Akko’s gaze.
Diana feels her nerves melt away as she meets those happy, bright, red eyes looking right at her. Diana stands up as straight as she can and waits for Akko to make her way down the aisle to meet her. Akko says goodbye to her Otousan before walking up a few steps to stand across from Diana. Akko bounces slightly as her nerves seem to have turned into pure joy and excitement. Diana reaches out and takes both of Akko’s hands, calming her a little. Diana smiles back at Akko and mouths ‘I love you’ to her before the Officiant clears their throat and begins. Akko and Diana barely listen to the Officiant talk, they are too busy staring into each others eyes and smiling at each other like goofy teens.
Diana gets to say her vows first. She shifts slightly and takes a deep breath before beginning. “Akko. I love you with all my heart. Your smile warms my soul every time I see it, always brightening my day. Everything about you makes my heart beat faster, your smile, your laugh, your hugs, and all the little looks you give me. You could not be more perfect and I want to spend every possible moment I have with you. Akko, will you have me, for better and for worse, until death do we part?” Akko tears up and resists all her urges to leap upon Diana and smother in hugs and kisses.
Akko takes a second to calm herself and wipe a few tears off her cheeks. “I do.” She manages to squeak out. She takes a deep breath and feels Diana’s hands squeeze her own. “Diana, You are the light in my life. I love you so very much, and I wish for nothing else but to be by your side until my dying breath. You are my rock and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Diana, will you have me, for better and for worse, until death do we part?”
Diana holds back the tears threatening to fall and nods once, her eyes glistening with so much love. “I do.”
Akko gets really excited, her tears forgotten, when she gets to put Diana’s ring on Diana’s finger first. She almost drops the ring as her hands shake. Diana isn’t a whole lot better as she slips the other ring onto Akko’s finger. They hold each others finger tips while the ceremony finishes up, staring into each other's eyes and smiling at one another.
Finally the Officiant says “You may now kiss.” Which Diana takes the lead on, pulling an already leaning in Akko quickly to her lips, dipping her back, supporting Akko’s back and taking her wife’s lips eagerly.They angle their heads and hold their tender, loving kiss for a while, leaving their friends and family to cheer them on in the background. Akko’s smile probably could have blinded people as Akko and Diana slowly pull away from each other.
They hold hands and walk together down the aisle, getting showered with flowers as they giggle and begin to run towards the exit, ready for the next chapter of their lives, together forever, only in death shall they part.
That concludes what i have written for this years Diakko Week! If you missed a post you should probably check it out on my Tumblr or on my AO3. Anyways, thanks for reading!
I’m still up so enjoy this really early morning post.
I also struggled a little with this one.
Enjoy part 6 of the Diakko Week short stories.
Diana and Akko go shopping, then get ice cream.
Diana pulls the car up into the empty parking space and puts it in park. Diana and Akko step out of the car together and lock it before meeting at the front to lock hands together and start walking off into the store. They swing their interlocked hands and brush their shoulders against each other.
“So, what do we have planned today babe?” Akko asks, looking over at Diana. She smiles bright upon seeing her fiancé practically glowing from the sunshine through her hair. Akko leans over and kisses Diana’s cheek.
Diana smiles and looks over at Akko, bouncing on her toes. “You are just so adorable.” Diana says, making Akko puff out her cheeks and blush lightly. “First we need to do some prep for the wedding. Then we can get ice cream or something.”
Akko keeps bouncing on her toes, clearly getting a little more excited at the mention of some wedding prep, but when the ice cream is mentioned she bounces really high and giddily squeezes Diana’s hand. “Oh yes, yes, yes! Today is going to be AWESOME!” she exclaims much to Diana’s amusement.
Diana watches with a small shake to her head and a permanent smile on her lips. Akko laughs and softly kisses Diana quickly on the lips before jumping back. Diana quickly pulls back on Akko’s hand and pulls her back for a deeper kiss.
“I could get some more of this in place of ice cream.” Akko says when her eyes flutter open while staying pressed up close to Diana. Diana smiles back and presses her forehead against Akko’s.
“Why not both?” Akko grins wide at Diana’s response and simply nods, accepting the perfect offer.
“So where first Di?” Akko asks softly, stepping back a bit and brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Diana retakes Akko’s hand and leads her down the road. Akko strides along with with her, having pep in her step.
“First I had us stopping by a venue place to pick some potential locations to check out later, then maybe some clothes shopping.” Diana looks over at Akko who glances back at her. “Sound good to you?”
Akko nods and somehow smiles brighter which makes Diana’s stomach flutter. “Anything with you sounds amazing.” Akko says sweetly, making Diana blush softly, even though Akko’s words were incredibly cheesy. It only made Diana fall more in love with the energetic brunette.
They make it to the store to look through a book with pictures of venues. Diana flips through the pages and browses some appealing locations while Akko walks around curiously, touching just about everything. Diana watches from the corner of her eyes, making sure Akko doesn’t get herself in trouble, almost like she is Akko’s parent not her fiancé. Akko almost knocks a few fake plants over, catching them as they rock and almost crash onto the floor. Each time Akko pales and freezes with the item in her hands, holding her breath like breathing will make her drop it. Diana is unable to resist a small giggle at her fiancé’s antics and adorableness.
Akko finally comes back to Diana with her hands tucked in her back pockets to resist touching anything else. “Anything look good?” Akko asks, leaning over Diana’s back to look over her shoulder down at the book.
“Well it would help to get your input. Oh, and no ‘anywhere with you works’ stuff missy.” Akko blushes and hides her face in the back of Diana’s shoulder.
“Fineee. But ‘tis still true.” Diana rolls her eyes, but still smiles.
“Alight, here look.” Diana points to a few pictures of lovely outdoor places, most of which were near meadows or ranches of sorts.”Any of these look good?” Diana asks.
Akko bites her tongue to keep from saying the ‘anywhere with you’ thing. “Hey why don’t we have the wedding at your family castle?”
Diana hums and nods her head. “You would want to do it there? I figured you would want something new. Also, Akko, sweetie, it’s not a castle.”
Akko grins, “You know me, anywhere with you and I’m happy. Also I like it there. I think it would be really pretty. And it is so a castle.” Akko teases. Even though they don’t live there with Diana’s aunt, Akko loves it there. She feels all regal and powerful in the old stone walls. “That way we can have a midevil wedding, with you wearing knight's armor and I can be a princess.” Akko says posing as if she were a damsel in distress.
“Oh dear. You are already a princess. Beautiful and a pain in the ass.” Diana smirks as Akko’s face turns from cheeky to one of indignation. Diana chuckles softly while Akko crosses her arms and pouts, puffing out her cheeks.
“I. Do. Not. Do. That.” Akko states while turning on her heel and crossing her arms more tightly around her chest. Diana slowly walks up behind her, slipping her arms around Akko’s slender waist.
“Oh darling, I am just jesting with you.” Diana gives Akko’s neck a loving kiss which brings Akko from her stupor, making her smile through her frown and angle her head against Diana’s. Diana smiles triumphantly and kisses Akko’s ear once for good measure. “So is it settled? My family’s manor?” Diana asks, teasing Akko a little more. Akko groans and shuffles around in Diana’s arms.
“Yes, it’s settled you butt head.” Akko hugs Diana tightly, which is reciprocated immediately. Akko sighs into the hug and perks up. “Hey, it’s ice cream time!” Diana laughs and tucks her head into Akko’s shoulder while Akko looks at her slightly confused. “What did I do nowww?” Akko asks exasperated.
Diana chuckles and lifts Akko as they hug, her arms holding Akko securely. “Alright let's go get you your ice cream. Then we can shop a little more.” Diana puts her vibrating fiancé down and pulls her by her hand out of the store. Akko leans away from Diana and walks at an angle, anchored down by Diana’s hand with their feet brushing against each other. Diana looks over at her quizzically, but with a great amount of love. “What are you up to?” she asks while Akko sticks out her tongue in concentration and tries to walk on the edge of the curb.
“I’m tight rope walking.” Akko says softly, concentrating hard on not slipping and not pulling Diana on top of her, not that she would mind that, she just didn’t want to pull her on the street.
They make it to the ice cream shop, Diana holds Akko’s hand tighter as Akko pulls like an excited puppy towards the little shop. “Easy, easy.” Diana says, trying her hardest to keep Akko from flying through the glass door. “Are you sure you didn’t already have some sweets today?”
Akko grins cheekily and turns her head to look at Diana, not letting up on her pulling. “I had you, didn’t I?” Diana flushes and becomes very red, letting Akko finally pull them into the cool shop. Akko bounces back and forth in front of the display, trying to pick her two favorite flavors for her cone. Diana hides her blush and tries to pick something out as well, kind of ignoring the weird look from the shop owner as Akko acts childishly.
Akko picks chocolate and mint chocolate chip ice cream for her cone while Diana gets a single scoop of plain mint ice cream. Akko licks her cone rapidly, getting some on her cheeks, nose, and chin. Diana watches, covering her face and shaking her head. “Akko. Act like an adult for the love of Beatrix.” She chastises, while also wondering how someone can get so much on their face.
Akko looks over and laughs nervously, seeing Diana cover her face in embarrassment. “Whoops, eh, sorry babe.” She says softly. She steps closer and half hugs Diana. “Sorry.” She says again, leaning back to watch as Diana’s expression softened. Akko relaxes and slips her fingers between Diana’s and gently tugs her outside to get away from the watching employees.
“You are such a dork.” Diana sighs with a soft smile. “I guess that is why I love you.” She whispers, leaning in for a soft kiss. Diana’s tongue flicks over Akko’s lips, tasting the ice cream all over her face. Akko blushes and laughs shyly.
“Geez Diana.” She chuckles a little, while looking Diana up and down. “So hot.” she mumbles to herself while Diana flicks her hair behind her shoulder and looks at Akko lovingly.
“Now let's go shopping. And finish your ice cream before it drips all over your chest and shirt.” Diana takes Akko’s hand once more, “Otherwise I’ll have to lick you clean.” She smirks and begins to walk off, dragging a stunned Akko behind her.
Here is day 5. Enjoy the sweet cuddly goodness of this short story.
Diana comes home to her and Akko’s nice little home after a long day at the hospital. She groans softly and runs her fingers through her hair, giving it a bit of volume. She had missed their movie night due to having to stay late and she felt really bad about it. Akko had insisted that it was okay, but Diana didn’t like letting Akko down.
Diana walks into the dark living room to an adorable sight. Akko is sprawled out on the couch on her back, with one leg over the top, another over the armrest, one arm hanging off the side, and the last arm curled up against her chest. Akko snores softly, clothed in her favorite snuggle wear, short sweatpant shorts and a cute oversized t shirt. Diana walks over with a pleasant little smile on her lips and she watches Akko sleep peacefully. She notices Akko shiver a little and whimper a soft ‘Diana’ before stilling once more. Diana looks around with a faint blush and spots a blanket for Akko. She walks over and grabs it, bringing it over and placing it over Akko’s sprawled body.
Akko stirs and smiles as she is met with a wonderful sight when her eyes flutter open. “Welcome home Di~ana.” Akko says happily, her voice filled with drowsiness. Diana smiles down at her and leans over to kiss Akko softly on the lips.
“Thanks babe.” She brushes some hair behind Akko’s ear before Akko sits up and pulls her arms and legs back to her body. “Come to bed.” Diana cups Akko’s cheek while Akko looks up sleepily at Diana.
“Okay, sounds good.” Akko slowly gets up, and with Diana’s help, makes her way to their cozy little bedroom. Akko, who is already in her sleep wear, crawls under the covers and moves to the middle of the bed.
Diana smiles as she watches her adorable fiancé crawl into the middle of the bed. Diana changes in her sleep wear and crawls into bed, where Akko quickly clings to her. Diana settles in with Akko nestled against her chest, enjoying Akko’s small movements and occasional kisses. Diana strokes Akko’s head and holds her close to her chest. She smiles and uses her other hand to draw small hearts on Akko’s back. She closes her eyes and keeps on stroking Akko, feeling much better after her long day. She loved just how much better she felt when snuggling with Akko, particularly at night when she was struggling to sleep. Just feeling Akko’s breathes on her skin and feeling her warm body next to hers made a huge difference.
While Diana gets lost in her thoughts of Akko, Akko slips her arms loosely around Diana’s midriff so her hands rest against Diana’s back. Her fingers slide up under Diana’s shirt and push it up so that she may feel more of Diana’s back freely. Akko runs her fingers up and down Diana’s back, feeling Diana’s spine and tense muscles. She does so very lightly, letting her fingers barely touch the impossibly soft skin. Diana loved these ‘soft tickles’ as Akko called them, they made her feel really good and relaxed. Akko angles her head down a little to more adequately nestle her face against Diana’s breasts. She smiles faintly as she gets comfortable and keeps moving her fingers up and down Diana’s back, easing the stress from Diana.
Diana squeezes Akko a little tighter and shifts slightly to adjust her head in their pillows. Her hair moves to intervene with the upper part of Akko’s soft tickle section, causing Akko’s fingers to get distracted by the super soft tips of Diana’s thick hair and starts to wrap her fingers up in the soft locks. Akko drifts off to sleep doing this, much to Diana’s dismay. Diana wished Akko could have stayed awake longer, just to play with her hair like that.
‘I suppose I could ask her to do my hair in the morning.’ Diana muses, remembering she had the day off tomorrow to spend with Akko. This makes her smile and tilt her head down to nestle against the top of Akko’s head. Diana breathes in Akko’s sweet scent and starts to drift off to sleep with Akko drooling against her chest and snoring softly. They both sleep peacefully with a faint smile on their lips throughout the night.
Day 4 is here! Hope you are ready for some adorableness. Anyways enjoy!
Akko groans softly as she rolls over in her bed and slings her arm to her side to feel for a familiar warmth. She frowns to herself as she feels a slightly warm, yet empty space. She opens her eyes and pushes herself up to look at the still somewhat messy side of the bed. Akko rubs her eyes and frowns, unhappy that Diana wasn’t still in bed with her. She slowly slides out of the warm bed and pulls on some of her sweat pant style short shorts, which happen to be Diana’s favorite, and fixes her shirt before walking out of the room and smelling breakfast. Upon smelling the wonderful smells coming from downstairs, her stomach grumbled loudly. Akko absentmindedly placed her hand over her slightly exposed midriff and made her way down the stairs towards the kitchen.
Akko makes her way quietly into the kitchen to see Diana with her hair up in a messy bun, dancing to music blaring in her head phones. Akko stops and drools, partly due to the smells and mostly due to her extremely attractive fiancé dancing in a loose top and underwear. Akko slowly shuffles her way over towards Diana, who had no clue she had an audience. Akko nears and slips her hands around Diana’s waist and over her stomach. Diana yelps until Akko pulls Diana’s back into her front. Akko snuggles into Diana’s back with her arms tightly around Diana’s midriff. Diana laughs softly and puts her hands over Akko’s. “Good morning beautiful.” Akko mummers.
“You scared me babe.” Diana says while leaning back into Akko. Akko smiles and kisses Diana’s upper back.
“Sorry, couldn’t help myself.” Akko says drowsily against her favorite person. “And it smells really good over here.”
Diana smiles and shuffles them back closer to the stove to take out her earbuds and tend to the bacon and eggs on the stove. “Why thank you.” She says happily. Diana flips the bacon and stirs up the eggs while Akko stays attached to her. “So breakfast is almost ready. Could you set the table?” Diana asks softly.
Akko shakes her head and holds Diana tighter, finding Diana to be too intoxicating. Akko loved the way she fit perfectly against Diana’s back. They might as well be a two piece puzzle, fitting perfectly together, and feeling wrong apart.
Diana rolls her eyes and shuffles them together to some cabinets for plates and utensils, letting Akko stay content, attached to her. She then shuffles them over to the table to set up each of their spots right next to each other. Diana pulls Akko’s chair right up against hers and shuffles back to the stove. “Alright babe, thanks for all the help this morning. If you go to the table, I'll give you the extra piece of bacon.” Diana says in a rather sing song kind of way, knowing how Akko ticks. She is rather surprised when Akko doesn’t budge and seems to nuzzle at her back. “You won’t even move for bacon? I think that’s new.” She says.
Akko nuzzles Diana’s back and moves her head up to Diana’s neck. “I’d rather be snuggling you than eating bacon.” She says before kissing Diana’s neck. “Is that okay with you?” She asks softly, her breath ghosting over Diana’s ear and her lips teasing her lobe.
Diana gulps and straightens up as Akko speaks to her like that. “Yep. Fine by me.” Diana blushes faintly as Akko kisses up her neck to her ear and snuggles into the crook of Diana’s neck. Diana shivers slightly and tries to calm the burning feeling in her neck and face.
Akko smiles and sighs softly, perfectly content and wanting nothing more for them to be laying down instead of standing, until her stomach growls. “Alright. I’ll let you go for a quick food break then its right to the couch for more cuddling and a nap. I can’t get enough of you.” Diana shivers again and smiles to herself.
“Alright, I’m holding you to that deal.” Akko lets go and heads to her spot at the table while Diana brings over the pan to put their servings on their respective plates. Breakfast gets eaten quickly, Akko finishing up Diana’s leftovers and a little bit of bacon about to be eaten by the blonde. She gets scowled at and offers a small ‘I couldn’t help it’ shrug. Diana shakes her head and stops as Akko leans in and grips the back of Diana’s neck, pulling her in for a wonderful kiss, filled with bacon flavored tongue.
Akko pulls away to wipe her face with a napkin and give Diana her ‘snuggle me’ eyes. She stands and grabs Diana’s hand, dragging a still flustered Diana to the couch. Akko pushes her down into the soft cushions before laying on top of Diana with her head tucked into the crook of Diana’s neck. “Much better.” Akko coos before slowly drifting off to sleep in Diana’s arms.
Diana smiles and rubs Akko’s back. “Love you Akko.” Diana whispers as Akko begins to snore softly on top of her. Diana brushes some of Akko’s sweet smelling brunette hair to the side before placing a soft kiss on Akko’s head. She smiles against the top of Akko’s head and closes her eyes.
“Love you too.” Akko whispers back before being taken by sweet dreams of the love of her life. Diana smiles faintly and begins to run her fingers through Akko’s soft hair. Her fingers caress the soft locks and twirls them around her fingers. Diana figured she might as well enjoy herself extra since she is trapped under a surprisingly heavy Japanese girl. Diana moves one hand to the back of Akko’s head, holding Akko like a child and running her fingers through her hair some more. Diana’s free hand slides down Akko’s back to her exposed lower back. She gently slides her fingers back and forth over the exposed bit of smooth flesh, doing what Akko called ‘soft tickles’. Diana slowly closes her eyes and concentrates on the feeling of Akko pressing down on her, and the smoothness of her skin and the softness of her hair. Diana begins to drift off to sleep, happy and at home with the most important person in her life.
Diakko Week 2019 - Day 3 - How/When They Fall in Love
@dianakko-week
Enjoy Day 3′s short story. If you haven’t already, check out the previous days fics. They all correspond to each other. Thanks!
Akko smiles as she lays in bed with Diana curled up against her side. Diana rests her head on Akko’s shoulder with her arm across Akko’s belly as she sleeps soundly. Akko brushes some hair from Diana’s face and smiles even more. Akko couldn’t believe how lucky she was to have met Diana, and then won her heart. She thinks back to that wonderfully perfect day a little more than two years prior.
The pounding music deafens Akko. The opening act was not really her style, which didn’t help her mood towards the concert so far. She shifts through the horde of people towards the bar, looking to get a drink, mostly to get through this opening act. Akko finally manages to make it to the bar and order a beer. She leans on the high table and waits for the bartender. She looks around impatiently until her eyes land on the incredibly hot blonde right next to her. Akko’s poor ittle gay heart nearly dies right there and then. The blonde looks over at her with a concerned expression.
“Hey! Are you alright?” The blonde yells over the noise. Akko didn’t know it but found out later that she was as white as a sheet. She sputters and mumbles incoherently, making the blonde frown. “Seriously, I’m a medical student and you do not look good. Come here.” The blonde turns Akko and pushes her with a gentle guiding hand in the small of Akko’s back.
Akko walks along through the crowd, unsure of what to do or how to explain that she was fine, probably. Well maybe not fine after seeing someone so goddamn hot.
Diana pushes Akko towards the bathroom right as the opening act finishes up, much to Akko’s delight. As they enter the bathroom Diana steers Akko to the sink and makes her turn to look at her. Diana uses two fingers to grip Akko’s chin and examines her eyes. “Did you take anything?” Diana asks, trying to discern what the problem was.
“No.” Akko squeaks weakly as Diana eyes her suspiciously.
“If you did, you should tell me. I can’t help you otherwise.” Diana says sternly while continuing to check things like Akko’s pulse. “Can you tell me what you ate for your last meal?”
Akko nods dumbly and looks at Diana who is looking at her expectantly. “Oh, you want to know. Um, I had a turkey sandwich and pickled plums.” She says, noticing Diana seems pleased with the response.
“Ok, roughly what time is it. And did you come with anyone?” Diana asks, letting go of Akko’s wrist. She mentally notes Akko’s pulse and awaits a response.
“Uh, like 8? And no…” Akko replies, trailing off shyly.
Diana nods, not taking notice to Akko’s shyness around her. “Does anything hurt or feel bad?” Diana asks.
Akko nods, steeling herself. “Yes. Um, my heart is beating really fast. A-And my stomach is doing somersaults.”
Diana frowns and places the back of her hand against Akko’s forehead, making her pale face flush pink. “And you are sure you didn’t take any drugs or drink anything funny. Did anyone give you a drink?” Diana asks concerned.
Akko shakes her head. “The only thing drugging me is your beauty.” Akko cringes as she attempts her pickup line.
Diana blushes lightly and raises her eyebrow. “Are you...hitting on me?” She asks. “Are you sure you aren’t high? This isn’t a good time to mess around.” Diana states.
Akko sputters and frowns. “I am not high! I-I just got really flustered and nervous when the most beautiful girl I had ever seen looked at me!” Akko blushes furiously, her hands clenched into fists as she explains herself.
Diana’s blush gets a little more intense. “Oh. My apologies. I thought you were sick with how white you became.”
Akko gulps. “Well. Sorry. I just froze. You, um, really are the hottest thing I have ever seen.”
Diana meets Akko’s crimson eyes with her own blues ones. “Oh. Thank you.” She replies getting a little shy from the sudden bombardment of compliments.
Akko shifts nervously, not sure what to do with no response. “So, since I didn’t get my drink earlier before being kidnapped to the bathroom, would you like to get a drink with me?” Akko asks hopeful.
Diana’s lips quirk ever so slightly into a smile. “Sure, I’ll pay as well, to keep you quiet about this kidnapping thing. How about that?” Diana’s confidence begins to return to her as she sees Akko perk up and smile brightly. ‘So fucking cute.’ She muses.
“Sweet. My name is Atsuko. But you can call me Akko.” Akko extends her hand out to the really pretty blonde.
“Nice to meet you Akko. My name is Diana.” Diana accepts the offered hand and shakes it.
They walk together back out into the concert, their destination being the bar. As they make their way through the horde the main act begins to play. Akko smiles, thinking ‘This concert just got a whole lot better.’ Diana who was following her smiled to herself as well, enjoying the bouncy and excited brunette before her.
They arrive at the bar and reorder their drinks. They shuffle their way forward and sway to the music together, sipping their drinks. When the intermission arrives Akko looks over at Diana. “You have a really pretty name. And really pretty eyes. And really nice, um.” Akko points to Diana’s chest, causing the blonde to blush and cover her mouth to cover a shy laugh.
“I should ask again. Are you hitting on me?” Diana subconsciously bites her lip as she awaits the response of the adorable brunette.
“And if I was, would you go on a date with me?” Akko asks confidently, well confidently on the outside while she screams at herself internally.
Diana smiles softly. “Well I don’t know, unless you were really asking me. Then I would have an answer.
Akko’s outward confidence falters. “Okay, Diana, would you like to get a drink or some food another time?”
“So you are hitting on me.” Diana teases. Akko flushes and opens and closes her mouth like a fish. “And yes, I would love to get dinner with you some time.”
Akko stops with her mouth open and smiles big. “Hell yeah!” She cheers, making other people look at her funny. Diana giggles and smiles at the cute girl with gleaming red eyes before her. Those red eyes look back, smiling brightly at the very attractive blonde she just met, the one she already really, really liked and hoped to get to know a little better.
Akko curses under her breath. She walks quickly through the store, looking back and forth between the shelved items. “Come on, I just need one good thing.” She whines to herself. She really needed the perfect anniversary gift, she really needed to beat Diana this time. Diana always upstaged her with perfect gifts straight from the heart, and while Akko could only give good gifts, they never compared to Diana’s.
Akko groaned and decided to leave the store, hoping that the next one would offer something better. She walked down the street with her earbuds in, coincidentally they were a gift from Diana. As she bobs her head to the music she ignores the fact that they were another perfect gift.
Akko steps into yet another store, this one was an arts and crafts store. She hoped to find something to maybe make for Diana, since it would be more from the heart. Akko slumps her shoulders as she walks through the aisles. She racked her brain for some ideas on what to get or even make. It didn’t help that Diana insisted that Akko’s presence was a good enough gift to last Diana for a lifetime. Akko groaned, thinking of that stupidly perfect and sweet thing Diana had said about her. “Damn perfect everything. Stupid perfect fiancé.” Akko mumbles annoyed.
As Akko walks around slumped over she browses through some fancy paper and pens section. She slows down and actually looks, hoping for an idea to pop in her head. She brushes her fingers over some fancy pens, remembering Diana has a few pens that she does all her writing with. Akko searches and manages to find some blue pens from that brand and picks them up. She smiles and holds them tightly to her chest, almost protectively so they couldn’t get away from her. Suddenly a few ideas pop in her head, making Akko stand up straight, her pony tail bobbing. These ideas give her some energy back, making her run out of that aisle and to a few others, picking up differing papers and some paint and brushes, enough arts and crafts to make her appear like an artist. She finally makes it to the checkout, huffing and puffing after running around like a mad girl. The cashier looks at her funny, but Akko doesn’t pay it any mind, knowing her gift idea is actually perfect this time. Diana had no chance.
Akko pays for her materials and gets back to their little two-story townhouse as fast as she can. Akko sneaks in, checking Diana’s study to make sure she is still at work before running to their room and closing the door. She leans against the door to catch her breath before falling to her knees and pulling out her gift materials from their bag. She spreads them out on the floor and thinks, planning her next moves. She sneaks out of the room into the empty house like a spy would in a movie, or at least she feels like that. She collects some cups of water, glue, a small table and goes back to the room to work on her secret gift.
Akko works tirelessly for a few hours, getting paint on her face somehow, finishing her cute and wonderfully unbeatable gift. She holds it up proudly in front of her, doing some final checks to make sure it is perfect. By the nine she hopes it is perfect. As she finished up she hears the door open and a sweet sounds echo through the halls. “Honey I’m home,” Diana’s melodic voice rings out. Akko normally rejoices upon hearing that, but this time she panics and hides everything she can under the bed, shoving it hurriedly before jumping up and heading out to greet her fiancé. She puts on an air of confidence and normality and her best innocent smile.
Diana sees Akko walking to her and begins to smile before her expression turns to one of confusion and amusement. “There you are Akko. Did you get into the neighbors paints again?” She teases. Akko blushes bright red, remembering she had gotten paint all over her face.
“N-No. I, um, just painted a little.” She says, looking a little like a guilty puppy caught doing naughty things. Diana quirks up her eyebrow and puts her hand on her hip before leaning on the wall.
“Uh huh. And why do you look so guilty?” She asks, smiling at how unbelievably adorable Akko looked right now. Akko whimpered and stuck out her bottom lip.
“I can’t tell you. It’s a secret.” Akko whines, really emphasizing her stuck out lip and giving Diana her large red puppy dog eyes. Diana melts on the inside and relents.
“Okay fine. I’ll let you have this one secret. Now come here and give me a kiss, cutie.” Diana smirks and Akko lights up, bounding over and jumping into Diana’s arms. Diana laughs and hugs Akko’s lithe body tight to her own. They snuggle together like that for a minute before Diana puts Akko down. “Do you need a minute to clean up your little secret?” Diana asks, resting her arms around Akko’s waist on her butt. Akko bobs her head, her signature half pony following suit. Diana giggles and smacks Akko’s butt, releasing her and heading out back to give Akko the time she needs to clean up her gift.
A few days later Akko comes out of their room with something behind her back. Diana had outdone herself and gotten Akko and her tickets to go visit Japan, spending time with her parents and sightseeing. Akko was beyond ecstatic, ready to visit her family and show Diana Japan in detail. Akko walked up slowly, clearly shy about her gift and not the confident girl she had been a mere few days ago when making the gift.
Akko hands Diana the messily wrapped gift with a cutely tied bow on top. Diana smiles bright as she accepts it and rests it in her lap. She gingerly undoes the bow and unwraps the handmade gift. Diana’s smile brightens as she reads what it says on the front. “Diana’s Akko Related Coupon Book.” ‘So cute,’ Diana thinks as she opens the hand painted and drawn book with funny and childish drawings or paintings of the task that related to the coupon. The book contains many ‘coupons’ relating to things like spontaneous snuggle time, extra shower time, doing chores, Diana getting to dress Akko up. Diana was particularly looking forward to the dress up one, being able to experiment with Akko’s fashion. Akko always ran away at the proposal of Diana prissing her up for a night out. Diana looks up and puts the book aside, asking “Can I redeem the bucketful of kisses one?”
Akko beams and nods, stopping suddenly and shaking her head instead. “This time it’ll be on the house.” She says, cracking back into a smile and jumping into Diana’s lap and showering her in kisses, pushing her back into the couch. Diana giggles and wraps her arms loving around Akko, somehow falling in even more love with her.
Diakko Week 2019 - Day 1 - Soulmates/Star-Crossed Lovers
@dianakko-week
Sorry for this being late. I totally don’t know how to tumblr and tagged diakko-week at the bottom and it didn’t work. Anyways hopefully someone will enjoy this.
“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit.” Akko mutters under her breathe as her and Diana walked along the boardwalk down the quiet beach. The sun was setting, casting many oranges, reds, and yellows across the few clouds and changing the sky above the calm sea. As they walk Akko rubs her hands up and down her sides from nervousness. She still couldn’t believe that she and Diana were still happily together two years after they meet at that wonderfully perfect concert. Well it was only perfect because Diana was there. Akko takes a deep breath and reaches out for Diana’s swaying hand, finding Diana’s fingers and holding them firmly to help her calm her nerves.
Diana smiles to herself as she feels Akko’s fingers brush against hers and then intertwine with them. Diana squeezes Akko’s hand and tugs her a little closer to her. She looks out over the ocean through her blue tinted sunglasses, admiring the wonder view. This was so perfect, being with Akko, in such an amazing place, all alone with just one another. She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves, unaware that Akko was doing the exact same thing right next to her.
They walk hand in hand down the small wooden planks in a perfectly pleasant silence. They occasionally squeeze the others hand and receive the same thing back, reminding each other of the others presence. They both stop as they reach the end of the boardwalk and lean against the handrail. Akko leans her head against Diana’s shoulder, signing contently as they watch the sunset. Akko pushes her black tinted sunglasses back up the bridge of her nose to rest against her face. She sighs contently once more and looks over at Diana, who was framed amazingly by the setting sun, her hair glowing radiantly, making her look like an angel. Akko was tempted to pull her phone out to take a photo before remembering that they left their phones at their hotel room. She opts to kiss Diana’s cheek instead. The soft peck makes Diana blush lightly.
“Hey Akko. I have a question for you.” Diana rubs her leg, the one that is away from Akko. “Would you…like to get some dessert later?” She asks while nibbling on her bottom lip in a worried manner.
Akko looks at Diana quizzically for a moment before cracking a small smile. “Only if you answer my question.” Diana turns and quirks her eyebrow at the brunette who take a step back and leans over with a soft groan. Diana’s eyes widen before Akko stands back up straight and pops her back. “Could I get a massage later? You made my back get all kinds of tense after last night.” Akko smiles cheekily at Diana who smacks Akko’s arm, making her giggle.
Diana huffs and shakes her head. “Fine, although it sounds like you will be getting the better half of this deal.” She rolls her eyes and look back out over the water, glad she was wearing her sunglasses. Akko giggles softly and hugs Diana’s side, her arms squeezing Diana’s soft belly.
“Don’t worry I’ll make it up to you later.” Akko winks before continuing. “Let’s head back before it gets dark, don’t wanna get lost. Especially with your sense of direction.” Akko teases, getting a huff out of Diana and a playful shove. Akko doesn’t budge much with her tight grip around Diana’s midsection.
“God you’re awful.” Diana says with a small laugh. She turns to start walking back down the boardwalk and she shakes her head at her girlfriend’s antics. “Now get up here and walk with me.” Diana says, turning to look back at Akko, wondering why she suddenly let go and fell back.. She gasps and slaps her hand over her mouth when her eyes land on Akko.
Akko is on one knee with a small black box opened to reveal a small ring with a small tri-cut diamond and small blue stones down the sides. Diana about falls to her knees with how much her legs are trembling. “Diana. Would you do me the greatest honor of marrying me?” Akko asks with a wide smile, her sunglasses hiding her wide nervous eyes.
Diana removes her hands from her mouth and takes off her sunglasses, rasping out “Yes, a million times yes.” Before rushing at Akko, who barely has enough time to stand and brace herself against Diana crashing into her. Akko beams over Diana’s shoulder while she squeezes her now fiancé, totally forgetting about the sunglasses that just went flying off her face. She giggles and tucks her face into the crook of Diana’s neck, nuzzling her affectionately. “Hey Akko?” Diana asks with a soft voice. “Would you marry me too?” Akko opens her eyes confused and leans back with a quizzical look in her eyes.
“Well duh silly, I kinda just proposed to you. Or did you already forget?” She asks teasingly. Diana’s eyes are looking down between them which makes Akko look down as well, only to find Diana holding her own small black box with a gorgeous diamond ring. Akko’s eyes grow huge and she begins to stutter. “W-what? Of course! I…Wow.” She breathes out that last bit with pure amazement. She looks up into Diana’s glistening eyes and kisses her hard, probably the hardest and deepest shes ever kissed the blonde.
After a little crying and lots of hugging and kissing Akko slips her ring onto Diana’s finger, admiring the perfect fit. She beams at Diana who takes her turn slipping her ring on Akko’s finger. They embrace tightly once more and kiss each other softly.
“I love you.” Diana whispers against Akko’s lips.
“I love you more.” Akko replies with a cocky little half smile. Diana laughs softly and releases her arms from around Akko’s neck. She then takes Akko’s hand, leading them back along the golden beach. Both couldn’t be happier, walking hand in hand with the one they loved most in the world, just starting a new chapter in their long journey together.
