Hello. I'm Auros, thanks for putting an interest in this story. It would be great if you'd review so I know what to improve. I plan to make this as long as possible, (this chapter will probably be the shortest one). Anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Interrogation
All Diana could hear was a ringing noise in her ears. There was only blackness. The ringing got louder and louder and louder until it stoped.
Then she woke up.
She hastily straighted herself in her chair. Apparently, she has fallen asleep at her desk. She can't remember what happened the night before. Drool is half-way down her cheek, the red rays from the sun are irritating her eyes and she can feel her eyes are drastically dialated. She's not even sure if it's sunrise or sunset. She was starving, dehydrated, and sweaty… and her clothes were a mess too!
What… happened to me? Diana thought to herself.
Being the star she was, her room had a bathroom and shower unlike the other dorms scattered across Luna Nova.
Diana slowly stood up, her body was stiff. She dragged her feet along the ground and navigated her way towards the bathroom.
Diana walked inside, closed the door, and placed her wand on the countertop. She looked at herself in the mirror, clothes partially ripped. Her hair was a mess and her face was pale.
What the hell actually happened?
Diana could only think about getting out of the sweat-infused uniform she was wearing. She slowly removed it, her joints popping as she stretches out, and she throws her clothes off to the side.
Shower Time
Stepping out of the shower, she felt rejuvenated and almost back to her normal self. She picks up her wand off the table and points it at the pile of clothes on the floor.
"Sosomme Tidiare." she spoke. Her clothes started to glow that familiar green color. The tears in the fabric repaired itself. After the spell had been casted, her Luna Nova uniform was good as new. Normally, she'd put her clothes in with the rest of the laundry, but she couldn't be bothered with that. She just wanted to be wearing something, and as quickly as possible.
Stepping out of the bathroom, Diana was greeted with a surprise that she somehow managed to miss on her way to the bathroom. Akko was sleeping in her bed, facing her.
"A-Akko?!" she proclaimed. Akko didn't move. Diana leaned down towards Akko's face and gently poked ner nose a few times. "Akko?" Diana asked.
The brunette groaned and only opened her eyes a little bit. "Diana?" she said tiredly. "Diana!" she then sprung up and said with passion and a hint of relief. "You're awake!"
"Akko, what were you doing in my room?" Diana asked with a tone of seriousness.
"Watching you..." Akko admitted. Diana's face has an expression that just read out, what? "W-wait! That came out wrong!" Akko was stuttering on her words and blushing. "I was told to watch you after what happened!"
"What happened?" Diana asked. This question cause Akko to freeze.
"I may have accidentally poisoned you..." Akko said with the most innocent voice she could pull off.
"You what? Actually, tell me how this happened." Diana was trying her best to stay calm. Diana sat on the bed and Akko went from laying down to sitting up.
"Well, it all started with the little party we had in my room a day ago. Originally, it was just me, Sucy, and Lotte, but then Amanda and you joined in randomly… we weren't breaking any rules, well besides the one about no parties or no more than 3 people in a dorm after 7, but that's really it."
"Why don't I remember this?" Diana asked.
"That's because of the poison... during the party Sucy decided she was done so she drank a potion and went to sleep. Amanda had the genius idea of going through Sucy's mysterious collection of poisons, and then we stumbled upon the potion. It was glowing and purple. Amanda then said l, Akko, drink it! Sucy always uses me as her guinea pig so part of me was a second away from chugging that bitch down, but another part of me thought that potion was creepy, and I didn't want to cause you any trouble in case I died or anything, so I refused to drink it."
"Then what?" Diana was still missing the part of the sotry where she gets poisoned.
Akko continued, "This is the part when things turn south. Amanda said that she was going to drink the potion… but I wouldn't let go of the bottle. We end up playing Tug-Of-War with it, and I somehow overpowered her… but I let go of it as she let go. The potion launched up in the air and the glass smashed, and the poison went everywhere. It only got on my clothes on the floor, but a little bit landed right on your lips."
"Akko." Diana interrupted her.
"Yes, Diana?"
"How is that your fault?"
"Well, if I just drank it you wouldn't have missed all your classes for toda—"
"I missed all my classes?" Diana asked. "What time is it?"
"It's around 6 PM, it's been nearly 24 hours since the party started."
Diana groaned. "What did the poison exactly do to me?"
"Well…" Akko started. "Initially you just kinda froze, until I tapped you, then you immediately reacted and started to hug me, you wouldn't let go!"
"I…I what?!" Diana's face got red.
"Yeah, you started acting differently as well so we tried to wake up Sucy, eventually she got up. She gave me very specific instructions. Keep an eye on you, make sure nobody else touched you, especially when you're sleeping. She said it can put you in a coma."
"I need to ask Sucy what the hell that potion did to me." Diana said sharply.
"Diana... are you angry at me?" Akko put her head down.
"Of course not, silly…" Diana said. Akko looked at her with the brightest of smiles and asked, "Really?"
Diana blushed. That's cute. Diana thought to herself.
"Of course I am." Diana quickly stated. "Ahem, what was I doing all night?"
"Well," Akko revved herself up again. "After Sucy told me to watch you, you left the room and I just followed you. You went straight up to your room but were doing silly things like..." Akko laughed. "You thought this vase was a dog and you started to pet it! Ha!" Akko couldn't contain her laughter.
Diana was flustered in response. "W-What?!" She seemed surprised. "Please tell me no one was watching."
"The halls were clear, it was late at night by this point. Well, we ended up in the kitchen, you raided their fridge and ate everything with salt. Like, everything." Akko was about to star laughing again. "You... you even started to lick some of the salt out of the container!" Akko couldn't stop laughing.
Diana looked down and placed her hands on her face, "This actually happened?"
"Relax, I was the only one there..." Akko said, transitioning from laughter into a big sigh of relief.
"I guess that's relieving..." Diana sighed.
"Anyway, after Salty Diana's adventure to the kitchen, you stumbled your way to your room, where we are now. As soon as you entered, you started to dance... some of them were really sexual too."
Diana perked up. Face fully red. She didn't know how to respond.
"But of course, you obviously weren't your normal self. That couldn't have been you." Akko stated. Diana calmed down. "Anyway, you danced for like 6 hours straight, the sun started to rise, you sat down in your chair, and then you just fell asleep."
"Okay..." Diana said, still recovering from the whole dancing bit. "W-Why were my clothes r-ripped?" She asked that question nervously, like she didn want to know the answer.
"Good question, when you went to sleep you were really, really, really sweaty from all of the dancing. Sucy gave me the explicit instruction on not to touch you, especially while you were sleeping, so I tried to use magic to remove your clothes."
"And?"
"It failed…" Akko sighed. Of course, as with almost everything else Akko tries, it fails. Diana could see that Akk was thinking about it.
Diana placed her hand on Akko's head. "Look at me in the eyes." Akko's cheeks were slightly pink. "You can do anything. Believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is your magic." Diana said, then smiled. You could see the glow in Akko's eyes.
"Thanks, I needed that. Welp, now that you're awake, I'm gonna go tell Sucy." Akko stood up and started to make her way towards the door.
"Akko." Diana reached out.
"Yeah?" Akko said, while turning her head back towards Diana.
"How long was I sleeping?" Diana calmly asked.
"For about…" Akko did a pause to calculate it in her head. "11 hours or so."
"W-What?!" Diana jumped up. She thought about the situation for a few seconds, then blushed. "T-Thanks for taking care of me.
"No problem, I'll do anything for you!" Akko said as she walked outside the room and closed the door.
Diana was unsure about everything right now. She still felt exhausted even though she apparently slept for 11 hours, she was thirsty, starving, and had a slight headache, but one question crossed her mind.
Why was Akko so cute back then?
Chapter 2: Too Close!
