For the Dianakko prompt, how about Akko asking Diana to play the pocky game with her ?
I let this sit for a while, but had some time today to work on it. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the prompt!

As she nibbled slowly on one end of the pocky stick, butterflies fluttering in her stomach, Diana regretted agreeing to play this game.
It didn’t sound too bad when Amanda introduced it to the the group. Maybe since the mood was so high from Akko flying for the first time, Diana wasn’t thinking clearly. But before she knew it, Amanda ‘randomly selected’ Diana and Akko to play the first round.
Less than a foot away, Akko had screwed her eyes shut. Amanda called out at the start that keeping her eyes closed would be a good way to ensure victory, and Diana knew that Akko always strove for victory.
Diana, on the other hand, couldn’t look away. Her pulse kicked up as the other girl approached slowly. Despite the sweet taste of the pocky, a slight feeling of nausea pooled in her stomach.
The distance between them closed inch by inch.
There was only a small amount of pocky left when Diana’s nose bumped against Akko’s. It felt as if a shock had run through her, causing Diana to flinch back and step away, snapping the remaining portion of the pocky.
Akko, feeling the lack of another person, popped her eyes open with a grin.
“I won!” She exclaimed, chewing on the last bit of pocky at the same time. “Yay!” She hopped over to where Lotte and Sucy stood, rejoining her team joyfully. Diana walked away slower, thinking with each step.
She wondered why the grin on Akko’s face only made her heart pound faster.
