Very Toxic Feelings

Akko doesn't want to admit it, heck, she would rather be pecked to near death by a murder of crows. But by simply being near the stoic witch would cause her body to react unexpectedly. Her heart would jump and soar whenever she met eyes with the alchemist. Her attention would go undivided to the self-proclaimed mushroom savant's ramble whenever she starts talking about mushrooms and alchemy; she'd even learned one or two things from her rants. Even now, she stares at the pink haired witch across the library table.

Only there was an ever looming dilemma about having these feeling towards her pink haired teammate. Her body might have fallen for Sucy, but her mind hasn't. She has wasted many nights of sleep trying to think of why she felt this way but her long hours of thinking was all in vain.

Akko rests her head on top the open book in front of her, whenever she overthinks about it her head starts hurting. She loves both her teammates equally, even the rest her friends at some point, but her body reacts more towards Sucy than whenever she's close to Lotte or anyone else. Suddenly, she remembered something interesting...

"If we assist you, will you promise to clean our room, do our laundry, buy us snacks and carry our books to class for the next month?" Says the extremely cute Angel Sucy while the very adorable Devil Sucy nods with each task being said.

"Huh?" Akko made a noise of confusion. She can't believe she's being extorted in this bizarre situation.

"You may refuse if you wish..." Angel Sucy and Devil Sucy began to hover some distance. Being in a strange world, she knows that she'll be lost immediately without any help.

"I'll do it! You're fine with a promise, right?" She plead. 'It's not like the original Sucy is here anyways.' She thought.

"Then, please put your signature on this contract. If you do not comply, we cannot guarantee your safety." Angel Sucy warned.

"I can't tell which one of you is the real devil here." Akko gave up as she signs the contract.

"Contract Complete!"

'Did they bound me to that contract?!' Akko yelled in her mind as she jerks her body up. 'Wait that was a dream wasn't it?! No wait the original Sucy remembered it! How is it possible?! Can it be possible?! Or did she use a love potion on me?! Or maybe she stung be with the love bee?! IS SHE A SUCCUBUS?!' Many thoughts came to her as she panics.

"Is something wrong Akko?" Lotte asked her teammate in concern.

"My head hurts really bad!" Akko whined as she slammed her head in the book, thinking that it would help her to stop these thoughts from torturing her brain.

"Akko?! Are you alright? Do you want us to take you to the nurse's office?" Lotte starts to panic too.

Sucy, on the other hand, just leisurely walks towards the witch in distress. She calmly opened a cork on a potion bottle and grabbed Akko's chin to open her mouth wide. She then shoved the potion down Akko's throat and let the light blue liquid flow straight through the brunette's stomach.

Akko froze, she immediately felt her head and body cool down. Her headache was forcefully subdued but so did her fine motor skills. In other words, she's paralyzed from the neck down.

"Did the temper medicine work?" Sucy asked while still cupping Akko's chin.

"U-um, yeah but... I... can't move." Akko shyly said. She thinks her face was burning with embarrassment but the medicine was keeping her blood flow in check.

"Is that so? Interesting. Well, that should ware off in about an hour or two." She scribbled something down her notepad while going back to her seat.

"Are you sure you're okay now Akko?" Lotte asked while still worried.

"Y-yeah, sorry for worrying you guys." Akko smiled. She then focused her sights in the book she's reading before.

Now that Akko can think straight with a cool head, she tries to rethink this whole situation through. She never had any sorts of romantic experiences, her childhood mostly consist of her practicing magic and trying to get enrolled in the same school Shiny Chariot has gone to. She have read and watched various romantic stories before and she can mostly tell the difference on what's romantic and what's not.

'And nothing about this is romantic at all!' Akko screams in her mind.

Later that day, Akko pretends to be asleep in her bed while waiting for (in this case) 'test subject' to fall asleep. It took a lot of convincing to her bespectacled friend that she's fine. Finally finding her resolve that night, she intends to sort out these feelings once and for all. She, very carefully, got off her bed and creep towards the sleeping dragon. After tiptoeing across their room, she eventually stands before the pink haired witch's bedside.

'Now that I think about it...' Akko knees in front of Sucy's bedside. 'Even thought we're roommates, I never had the chance to study her so closely...' She thought to herself while staring at her teammate's sleeping form.

Akko's heart starts raising as she watches the alchemist sleep with both of her hands linked together on top of her chest while it would slowly move up and down with peaceful breathing. From what the brunette can remember, she was wearing a white silk nightgown that hugs and compliments her curves perfectly. Unfortunately she can't see it because of the bed's blanket covering her up to her chest. Her eyes wondered to the cute nightcap she wears very night, though she wonders what its used for but quickly dropped the thought. She can't afford to be distracted now.

Akko, now very red faced, gulped as she leans in towards her teammate, she slowly raised her right hand and...

"Akko."

Akko gasps by Sucy's growl, startling her enough to fall on her butt. The pink haired witch rose from her bed to glare at the brunette for disturbing her sleep.

"You better have a damn good reason for waking me in the middle of the night." Sucy snarled at her with a hint of venom.

"I- uh, I just uh." Akko starts to panic, her face burns both inside and out, her heart beating fast and loud, her mind blanking and whitening. "I-I just want to t-thank you for the potion earlier today!" She went back to her knees and bowed her head. She held her head down her a while, waiting for the alchemist to say something.

"Tsk." Moments passed until the pink haired witch finally clicks her tongue and laid back down her bed. "Don't mention it. Now go back to sleep."

"H-hai!" The brunette unintentionally let her dialect slip out and quickly scrabbled back to her bed.

Akko buried herself underneath her sheets, ready to die of embarrassment. Not only did she let Sucy get mad at her, but she also failed to make her feelings clear.

Sucy sighs a breath of relief, it has been a month or two since Akko started acting weird and it's only getting worst. First she blanks out this morning, then she suffers a massive headache this afternoon and now she...

'What exactly was she planning to do back there?' She thought to herself. She called her out before she gets to do anything but now she was very curious.

She peeks to Akko's bed and saw her in a tent of her own sheets, the sheets themselves are lightly shaking. She and Lotte has been very worried for their teammate's sudden actions.

'It seems that Akko has been taking her distance from me...' She doesn't blame her. She knows that she hasn't been acting the best friend for her since they met.

She closed her eyes and sigh tiredly. She wishes she can be friends with Akko like they always do...

A/N: Have you guys read the new Overlord volume? It's a hell'a fun to read! Only one new lovable character though... (for me at least).

Anyways I been meaning to write a Sucy x Akko for quite a while now but I can't think of something... 'Original'. With all these fanfictions being written, quite better I might add, by others; I struggle to keep up with them in terms of interesting stories. But then I realize that I'm not exactly doing this for work, I write them for me. And only me. To serve as an escape for this shitty life I'm living.

Now without further ado, The Funhaus Quote of the Day:

"I want to thank you guys for making me laugh today. I lost my grandmother last night and it's been a rough morning. But you guys-"
"Where is she? You should go out to find her."
