=COURTYARD=
"But Diaaaaana! Is not faiiiiiir!". Akko complained.
"And what exactly is not 'fair' about your current assignment?". Diana asked her classmate not looking up from her book.
"Well… All of it! I mean, this should be considered child abuse!". Akko huffed.
"Akko, I thought you will be glad the professors acknowledge your potential now that you have proven a significant improvement in your grades".
"I mean… It's nice and all, but not like this". She folds her arms. "Having to change the pose of all statues in campus by myself is exploitation". She groans.
"That's why I was assigned to accompany you Akko". Diana retorted.
"Didn't you volunteer?" Akko asked her with an eyebrow up.
"Well… In fact I did. I wanted to assist you in case you needed a break and perhaps… spend some time tog-".
"And that's the other thing!". Akko interrupts her. "You're such an unhelpful helper Dianaaaa".
"...I-I beg your pardon?". Diana finally looks up from her book, taken aback by Akko's words.
"You are, Diana!". Akko pouts. "Here you are, sitting right in front on me, looking as beautiful as ever, with that lovely face you always put when you are reading". A blush starts to creep in her cheeks. "H-how I'm supposed to finish if I can't concentrate?".
"...I". Diana stares at her baffled.
"And your perfume". Akko takes a deep breath. "Every time you flip your hair, that gorgeous hair, your scent hits me like a rock!". Akko covers her face with both her hands trying to hide her increasing redness. "And it makes me want to…". She mutters still hiding her face.
"Yes?". Diana felt a warm sensation in her chest, looking at her flustered companion trying to finish her statement.
"It makes me want to… hug you… and…". Akko responds looking at her through her fingers still covering her red face.
"And?". Diana said with a soft smile as she stands up and starts approaching the little witch.
"A-and… Kiss you…". Akko finally uncover her face and looks at Diana then at the ground then at Diana again, repeatedly.
"It's that so?". Diana was now dangerously close to Akko.
"Y-yes…". Akko notices Diana's closeness and starts to step back until she bumps with one of the statues in the courtyard.
Diana who didn't stop her approach, cornered Akko, putting her left hand against the statue and with her right she holds Akko's chin.
"Eek!". Akko squeals looking up at those radiant blue eyes.
"You know Akko...". Diana starts softly, leaning closer to Akko's ear. "I always want to kiss you". She whispers to her.
"Diana!". Hot steam exits Akko's ears. "Why are you so che-".
A sudden kiss stopped Akko from continuing babbling. She struggles a little, taken by surprise but finally surrenders to the tender kiss Diana is giving her. She closes her eyes and let herself go in the soft sensation pressing against her lips.
Diana holds Akko's face with both her hands now, glad the little witch is returning the kiss. This is a drastic turn in their assignment, but not an unwelcome one.
*BOOM*
"W-what was that?". Akko tried to separate.
"Be quiet". Diana took advantage of Akko's words and deepened the kiss.
Akko opened her eyes widely by the sudden intrusion, not that she didn't like it, but whenever Diana showed her this side of hers, all was lost, and she was now at Diana's mercy. She was still getting used to their relationship, although she was a very outgoing person, when it came to romantic stuff, she found herself to be very, very, shy. So she decided to let Diana handle the situation, she was after all, truly skilled. Just as she was to close her eyes again she caught something in the corner of her eye.
"D-Diana, wait". Akko broke the kiss.
"Wh- Akko! What's the matt-". Akko didn't let her finish, she quickly grabbed her wand and applied an invisibility spell on them.
*Shhh!* "It's Barbara!". Akko whispers and pulls Diana behind the statue.
"What? Barbara?". Diana peeked over the statue to check and in fact, Barbara was looking outside one of the windows of the alchemy lab. "Do you think she saw us?".
"I-I… Don't think so, she had her eyes closed when I saw her".
"My goodness… I-I… I'm very sorry Akko, I don't know what came into me, I was so forceful on you and…".
"Diana, it's okay". Akko cuts in, releasing the spell. "You are always very… passionate and I don't mind it". Akko finished brushing Diana's cheek and joining their foreheads.
*Sigh* "Very well". Diana cupped Akko's hand with her own. "You always made me lose control of myself Akko, it's like…".
"I'm bewitching Diana Cavendish?". Akko finished as she placed a soft kiss on Diana's free cheek.
"Akko!". Diana scold her. "But… That statement wouldn't be entirely inaccurate". She said faking interest in the birds flying throughout the sky.
Akko beams up at Diana's words, but she rather just hugs her really tight, not wanting to press any further on the flustered and lovely girl in front of her. That pleasant sensation still fresh in her lips.
You could say you've charmed me.
"Something tells me that you'll be needed soon". Akko said as she let go of the hug.
"It appears so, whatever happened in the lab won't pass unnoticed by the professors." Diana responded.
"See ya at dinner?". Akko asked with her trademark smile.
"Of course miss Kagari". Her usual stand comes back. "And here, this is the location for tonight". She hands her a letter.
"A'right!". Akko receives it joyfully.
Diana smiled at the cheerful witch in front of her, then, making sure nobody is nearby, she plants a soft kiss on Akko's forehead.
"Keep it safe. See you at dinner miss Kagari". They shared one last glance and then she picked up her book and took her way to the alchemy lab.
Akko just saw her leave, tracing her figure as she got farther and farther until she lost sight of her in the corner. That sensation in her lips and the warm feeling in her chest still filling her with joy.
"I suppose these statues won't change themselves…". She let out a heavy sigh. She then looked at the letter she was holding, an eager smile returning to her face. "Where will be this ti-". She was going to open the letter but someone familiar called her name.
"Yo! Akko! What's up?".
Uh oh.
"He-Hey… Amanda…".
=DINING HALL=
"...I SAW AKKO AND DIANA KISSING UNDER A STATUE IN THE COURTYARD! AND… I could see… some tongue…". Barbara blared out of nowhere and everyone froze looking at her.
"EEEEH?!" Lotte squeaked suddenly.
Then followed a burst of laughs from every girl sitting in the table, except for the two girls mentioned in that statement.
She knows! Both screamed internally.
Akko and Diana shared a quick look and then had one of their famous telepathic conversations.
What do we do?!
Stay calm Akko, just follow my lead.
I'll just follow your lead.
That's wh-... Nevermind, just laugh carelessly as I do in one, two, three…
Diana just stifled a giggle nonchalantly with her hand but Akko went full laugh and smashed her head and fist against the table chuckling strongly.
This wasn't exactly the way they wanted their friends to find out about their relationship, but perhaps there was still a chance to get out of this predicament without revealing it yet. And after Lotte's shocking approach and incomprehensible question, Akko seize the opportunity.
"Hahaha, sorry Lotte, but I think Barbara is confused, Diana and I are just buddys, hehe".
Buddys?! Although she knew Akko was trying to keep the secret, that word was something Diana couldn't take lightly.
"That is right Lotte, miss Kagari and I share a platonic have never-".
Plato...nic? It's that some kind of sport? Akko questioned herself, not paying attention to the rest of the phrase.
But at least, it seems that it worked, none of the other girls believed what Barbara just told them, and their following debate was in favor of that idea. Despite that the current events were working at their favor, they weren't sure if that was a good thing, they were supposed to tell them about their relation at some point, now it look like it was going to be a little embarrassing.
"So that settled it then". Diana interject, seeking to finish this controversy quickly.
After the green and red team retired to their dorms, Diana dismissed herself form their teammates taking her way to the Eastern Lookout. Akko in the other hand.
"I'll come back in a sec guys". Akko told their team at the entrance of her dorm. "I have something to 'discuss' with Amanda". She lied.
"Whatever, don't wake me up when you get back". Sucy said from her desk.
"Sucy!". Lotte yelled. "It's okay Akko, don't get in trouble". She said from her bed.
"Don't worry guys!". Akko closed the door behind her and move forward to her destination.
She quietly walked past the green team's dorm and as soon as she felt safe, she retrieved the letter from her vest and opened eagerly, looking for tonight's spot.
Diana was looking through the window to the bright star-filled sky, waiting for a certain little witch to open the door just about…
"Diana! Are you here yet?!". Akko stormed in with excitement.
Now.
"Yes Akko, I'm upstairs, come". Diana requested gently.
"Coming!". Akko strode forward hasty, joining Diana in a mere second. "Hi! Missed me?".
"We were together just an hour ago you silly". Diana responded softly. "But yes, I did miss you".
"I missed you two!". Akko hugged her between giggles.
Diana returned the hug, enjoying the little jolts of her companion and the warm feeling surrounding her. They stayed like that for a few minutes, until Diana spoke up.
"Akko". She called her with a little concern in her voice. "Do you think the girls believed our facade?".
"Our facade…? Oh! Yeah, of course, don't worry about it Diana". Akko responded with her carefree nature.
"I… I hope so. I don't want you to-".
"Hey, it's alright Diana". Akko chimed in. "Don't feel pressured about it". Akko reassured her giving her a soft peek at her nose and a bright smile.
"You always know how to calm me down". She said as she returned the peek at Akko's nose and then brushed it with her own.
"Hehe, a smile for you always works, so… how much time do we have?".
"I presume about an hour or so, would you like to tell me more about my 'gorgeous hair'?". Diana inquired with a mischievous smile.
"Diana!" Akko yelled averting her eyes. "You… You'll make me all flustered again….".
"I will like that very much". Diana said as she joined her lips with Akko's.
=LIBRARY=
*Giggles*
Akko and Diana found themselves spending some quality time in the library. With both her teammates in their respectives assignments and having been finished their own with plenty of time to spare, they decided to give themselves a little break.
'Break' sort of speak.
Diana was showering Akko's face with little kisses, guiding the latest further into the library between giggles until they bump with a bookshelf. Realizing they almost threw it down Diana stopped for a second looking at her partner in the eyes then sharing a giggle.
Then Diana looked again into Akko's eyes, those bright red eyes. Something familiar, but not unwelcome, took over Diana once again, the same feeling of desire that came everytime she looked at those crimson jewels adorning the face of the person who she cared the most.
With a sudden authority, Diana pulled Akko closer by her waist and very carefully she captured Akko's neck between her lips. Something Akko wasn't expecting so sudden, as a silent gasp escaped her mouth.
"Stop it… Someone could hear us…". Akko pleaded, losing her strength rapidly.
*Shh* "There is nobody at this hour here". Diana whispered to her ear.
"Please Diana… You know I don't like to be teased". Akko complained, feeling Diana's breath warming her neck.
"You always make the cutest face when you're all flustered". She gave Akko a soft kiss in her neck.
*THUMB*
The sound of books against the floor startled the girls. Akko and Diana shared a look then struggling a little to get their wands, due to their 'close' proximity, both cast a transforming spell on themselves, leaving a cat and a mouse in their places.
"Quick Diana! Jump into my mouth". Akko rushed.
Diana did as she was told and jumped into Akko's mouth, or rather snout. With her feline agility, Akko took a swift leap to the top of the nearest bookshelf and waited.
"AHA!... Wha…?". Barbara showed up from behind the corner.
Barbara again?! They both thought.
"AAAAW". Barbara felt to her knees.
"Miss Parker!". The librarian approached the girl on the floor.
They watched as mrs. Southeil scolded Barbara rather vehemently. Diana knew the librarian had a meticulous list of visitors who attended the library. That's why she suggested to disguise both of them to leave no record of their presence at odd hours.
"Akko, perhaps it's time to depart". Diana muttered, sensing it was a favorable time to take their leave.
Akko nodded and jump stealthily to the ground, but just as she landed mrs. Southeil turned to leave too. She motioned to Diana to play dead and then she approached the librarian. She took notice of the cat and gently welcome it to her lap. Both of them made sure to play this little game once in a while to avert suspicions from the older witch. A plan that had worked perfectly. So, after one more little chat between the librarian and the blue team member, the former let go of Akko and she proceeded to leave elegantly.
Once outside the library Diana jumped off of Akko's snout and transformed back into herself, she bends down and grabbed the still feline Akko and started to pet her.
"You are so fluffy". Diana said with a smile as Akko purred. "But a have told you in numerous occasions that I don't walk like that when is my turn to be the cat".
"Aaaw, but it makes me feel more like youuu". Akko said enjoying the soft treatment to her back. "Didn't you tell me something about not getting to close to you in my cat form?".
"Mmmh". Diana pondered. "I don't quite remember right now, your fluffiness it's full of distractions".
"Pet me more!". Akko melted under Diana's ministrations.
=BLUE TEAM'S DORM=
*ACHOO*
Now I remember… Diana thought, hearing her teammate's sudden allergy attack.
She quickly brushed what remained of Akko's hair in her uniform and concealed it with a bubble spell, then she stepped to the other side of their dorm.
"Girls? Is everything all right?". She asked already knowing the answer.
After Hannah's emergency exit, for which she was regretful, and Barbara's unexpected discovery, which made her behave a little odd in front of the other girl and to be grateful that she used dragon language in her secrets messages. She took a quick leave, hoping that her explanation suffices the other witch curiosity.
Goodness Akko. She thought as she closed the door besides her and leaned on it. You need to be more careful. That was a clos-...
"I'll catch you two! You'll see!". Barbara yelled from inside their dorm.
Uh oh.
=HALLWAY, 3RD FLOOR=
Akko felt a slight discomfort in her chest, startling the witch by her side.
"Akko? Is something wrong?". Diana placed a hand in Akko's shoulder.
"D-dont worry… It's was nothing Diana, I think". She brushed her chest carefully. "I mean, I felt like something precious to me was defiled or twisted… I dunno… Maybe it was nothing".
"Mmmh. Now that you mention it, I felt a little itch in me heart as well, right after those two started to argue about something". She watches as Barbara and Hannah talked in the courtyard.
"Anyway, it passed already. So! Are you ready?". Akko perked up.
"Indeed I am. I grow tired of Barbara's constant watchfulness over us". Diana said, massaging her temples.
"I knooooow". Akko groaned. "It's been a week already! Didn't she get bored or something? I mean, we're not that interesting, are we?".
"I believe she tries to prove something to herself, related to not being 'nuts' as Sucy eloquently stated". Diana crosses her arms. "But it has to stop now. Apparently a week was enough for me to realize how much I yearn for the contact of your lips against mine, the feel of your hand holding my own as you squeeze it ever so lightly. And to watch the red of your eyes and lose myself in their depth, mesmerized by their beauty. In fact, it was after the first day that…". Diana who was looking at the sky submerged in her thoughts about her girlfriend was stopped by said girl's hand pressing against her mouth.
"Diana… please stop". Said one very red and flustered Akko, who was hiding her face with her free hand.
Noticing the other students passing by she just nodded silently. The lack of her girlfriend touch was starting to affect her.
*Ahem* Sensing her girlfriend had composed herself she continue.
"Back to the matter at hand, I'm ready to proceed with our plan. Did you tell Lotte about your 'meeting'?".
"Yes! I told her I was going to meet 'someone' downtown. Hehe". Akko said emphasizing in the quoting gesture. "And surely she told Barbara about it, but how we'll known when she arrives?".
"She will be wearing a beret, sunglasses and a coat". Diana said simply.
"Oooh! How do you know that?".
"She left her outfit up top her bed this morning". Diana placed a hand in her forehead. "So much for a 'spy'...".
"Well… she wasn't exactly that good in hiding from us this past week. Anyway, I made sure Andrew won't be near the place this afternoon". Akko said with a smug smile.
"About that…". Diana fidgeted in her place. "Remind me again why do we have to involve him?".
"Becauseeee". Akko groaned, lifting her arms. "He is 'Handsome Andrew', everyone here has a crush on him. Every. One".
"But… Why do we have to pretend that you and he are in…". Diana couldn't finish.
"That way, Barbara will start to pester him, out of jealousy or something, I dunno, and she will stop following you, which will give us our precious time together again". Akko finished crossing her arms confident in her bulletproof plan.
"If you put it that way…". Deep down in Diana's mind she knew something wasn't right about Akko's plan, but the slightest possibility of getting the warm and soft sensation of Akko's lips against hers clouded her judgment. "All right, let's do this".
"YES!". Akko pumped her fist upward. "Look, they are leaving, time for us to leave".
They head down to the Leyline, with the feeling that this was going to be a great day.
=BLYTONBURY=
This feels so wrong.
Diana was sitting alone in a cafe, waiting impatiently for Akko to arrive. What made her feel more uncomfortable was the fact that she was pretending to be someone else, but not anyone, but Andrew Hanbrigde himself.
This feels SO wrong.
She was looking at her watch nonstop, growing frustrated by the delay of her girlfriend. She had spotted Barbara a while ago and it seemed that the other girl was getting equally anxious.
"Why is she taking so long?". Diana muttered to herself.
Looking to her right, she finally saw Akko approaching.
*Sigh* "Let's get over with this…". She stood up to receive Akko in the way a man was supposed to but Akko sudden hug surprised her.
"Akko! You are supposed to… Nevermind… What took you so long?". Diana asked with a fake smile, as part of her facade, motioning the waiter to bring them their beverage.
"Sorry! But I figured that if I came here on time Barbara would've got suspicious". Akko said as she took Diana/Andrew's hand.
"That was… very clever of you". She smiled genuinely. "So… are you ready to do this?". She asked hesitantly.
"Y-yes… Let's finish this…". She looked down bashfully adjusting a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Slowly they started to approach one another, the loud beat of their hearts resonating loudly in their ears. Diana closed her eyes, trying to focus only in the image of her girlfriend. But Akko, who was confident until this moment, was getting second thoughts about it. Nevertheless it was too late to go back, so the two girls just continued until finally they made contact.
For a brief moment, Diana was delighted by the feeling of her girlfriend's lips finally against hers once again. But the fact that she wasn't in her own body was something she couldn't bare much longer.
Akko wasn't having an easy time either. Although she knew she was kissing her girlfriend. Her having the appearance of someone else started to weight in her mind. She thought this was going to be easy, just like every other kissed that they had shared. But memories of them spending time together, that one night back in Japan when Diana confessed to her. She felt like she was betraying her. She couldn't keep this anymore.
I can't do this! They both thought.
But just as they were about to separate, they feel someone poking at their shoulders. They broke the kiss in annoyance out of their feel of betrayal and as soon as they were going to thank the person for his timely intrusion they stood up in shock, realizing that said person was Andrew in the flesh.
He just stood there unamused and arms crossed waiting for they to explain. In that moment of inattention, Diana started to babbler and then she lost control over her spell and turned back to herself.
"AHA! I KNEW IT!". Barbara yelled across the street.
They both slowly turned to the excited girl, watching their plan shattered right in front of their eyes. She hopped with joy in her face and stopped by the fence surrounding the cafe. Akko and Diana tried to salvage the situation but Barbara went ahead of them. She already knows about their relationship, but for some reason she chose to come up with a crazy made up bet that only sunk the two overwhelmed witches even more. The fact that Andrew easily believed the statement wasn't making things more bearable.
And as quick as she arrived, she left, leaving behind two exhausted witches trying to get her back. But someone else got their attention.
"So this is why you asked me to stay away of this part of town today, miss Kagari?". Andrew asked, still in his place with his arms crossed.
"Eeeh... Maybe". Akko responded rubbing the back of her neck.
"That was what you meant when you told me you made sure he wouldn't be here?". Diana asked her in disbelief.
"Also maybe…?". Akko was getting now that maybe her plan wasn't exactly 'bulletproof'.
"My goodness Akko…". Diana face palmed once again.
"I'm soooooorry Diana". She putted her hands together in front of her head. "It looked pretty solid when I thought about it…".
Andrew watched the two very stressful witches in front of him, they genuinely seemed concerned about their situation. So, he let out a heavy sigh and then he took one of the seats in the table, motioning the two girls to join him.
"I'm starting to believe that such bet wasn't real". He started and then he lifted his hand stopping the girls who were about to speak. "But I do believe, that there is a reason for all this… How do I put it…? Masquerade, sort of speak. So, please do share". He finished looking at them expectantly.
Akko lifted her hand vigorously as she were asking for permission to speak like in a classroom, startling Diana who almost jumped off her seat.
"Yes?". Andrew nodded at her.
"ItallstartedlastweekwhenBarbarasawuskissingthenshetoldeveryonebutnobodybelievedherthenwethoughtthatweweresafebutacoupleofdayslatershealmostcaughtusagaininthelibrarybutIwasacatandthenHannahstartedtosneezedandBarbarasomehowknewIwasacatthenshestartedtofollowingus". Akko stopped to take a deep breath. "Thenwecouldn'tkissanymoresowecameupwithaperfectplanforhertostopfollowingusthenDianawasyouandwefinallycouldkissagainbutitfeltsoweirdandwrongthenyoushowedupandnowwearehere". She finished with a serious expression putting her hands in her lap.
Diana and Andrew just looked at her with wide eyes.
"I-I… I didn't get any of that… Diana?". He turned to her for an explanation.
"Aaaaw". Akko pouted. "I was very clear! What do you want? A parchment?". She averted her gaze from him, crossing her arms.
*Ahem* "What Akko tried to explain, is that we were looking for a solution to maintain our relationship a secret from our friends. Until we feel comfortable to share it with them". Diana said a little more composed. "And before you say something, yes, Akko and I are… girlfriends". She muttered that last part losing what little dignity she had recover.
"So you tried to hide your relationship by pretending to be in another one using me as a facade?". Andrew lifted and eyebrow.
"I told you it looked pretty solid back then!". Akko pouted again.
"I-I… I must admit that me judgement hasn't been clear as of late". Diana confessed. "And perhaps in my desperation I couldn't see the flaws in Akko's plan".
"H-hey!". Akko began but Diana stopped her placing a hand up top of hers, looking at her gently. Then she turned back to Andrew.
"I offer you my sincerest apologies Andrew. So does Akko, right?". She looked at her girlfriend.
"Oh! Sure! Sorry Andrew…". She rubbed the back of her neck as she smiled bashfully.
Andrew pondered for a moment, he was looking for any sight of falsehood in the two witches, but he found none. Leaning back in his chair, he relaxed and finally spoke.
"Very well, I accept your apologies". He answered them with her usual cold demeanor. "Anyway, I took the liberty of get a photo of your flustered moment when you girls weren't looking, so we can call it even". He said, putting his cellphone safe inside his suit coat. A smug smile forming in his face.
"Wh-!... Fair enough… If that is the price we have to pay I can live with it". Diana let out a sigh.
"It's not so bad, I'll only looked at it to remember that the Diana Cavendish has a soft spot for our common friend". Andrew said as he rested his elbows on the table.
"Aaaaw, of course she does!". Akko beamed up and grabbed Diana into a hug.
"Akko! Not in front of him!". Diana complained.
"Oh? Don't mind me, in fact, I was wondering when Akko would take the first step. I don't quite understand why you keep it a secret, it was very clear to me that miss Kagari harbored feelings towards you for quite some time already". Andrew stated. "After all, your 'stupidly cute' face and your 'dazzling' way of flip your hair, were common topics in our meetings". He finished with a proud smile in his face.
"A-Andrew!". Akko yelled. "I didn't mean it that way!... Or did I?...". Akko scratched the top of her head.
"I'm glad to hear that I was present in your mind, even though we weren't a couple yet". Diana said as she took Akko's hand.
"Hehe… Diana I…". Akko squeezed Diana's hand.
"Although". Andrew intervened. "Why all this secrecy? Do you believe your friends won't accept you?".
"Because…". Akko started.
"Because Akko is a great witch!": Diana finished.
Andrew was taken aback by the sudden confidence in Diana's statement. But he quickly leaned forward waiting for Diana to elaborate. A smile appeared in Akko's face, she looked at Diana with glimmer in her eyes.
"Since the events of last year, Akko has demonstrated that she is more than capable to sustain the title of a witch, proudly. She has improved in every single class, she has performed every single spell she has been tested on perfectly and although she has struggled a little with theoretical classes, she hasn't fail to pass all her tests. Not to mention that she won this year's rally, surpassing even me, fair and square". Diana continued feeling nothing but proud towards her girlfriend. "And she has done all that by herself".
Andrew turned to Akko astonished. He knew the little witch had been getting better at Luna Nova, but he was not aware of the magnitude of said progress until now.
"Diana… Is not a big deal". Akko fidgeted in her seat. Her face turning as red as a tomato.
"Akko! Hush". Diana scolded her. "That is why I don't want our classmates and professors to think that all of Akko's accomplishments were achieved just because 'Diana Cavendish' is her girlfriend. Leaving all her hard work overlooked".
"But Diana… You had help me and Professor Ursula did too! In fact, I wouldn't have done any of it if not for you guys…". Akko said looking at Diana with loving eyes.
"We merely showed you the path Akko. You did the rest all by yourself". Diana returned the gaze.
"I didn't know miss Kagari, those are breaking news, you certainly had accomplished wonders in brief period of time. Congratulations!". He patted the girl's head.
"Hehe, stop it…". Her redness was getting worse. But she looked up to her friends besides her, the two with proud smiles in their faces. But Diana's eyes in particular filled with love and care for her. Akko returned the gaze, locking her eyes.
Sensing he was turning into a third wheel, Andrew decided it was time to leave the couple alone.
*Ahem* "It seems to me that the matter has been solved, so I will leave you two lovebirds by yourselves. Congratulations, by the way". He stood up from the table.
"You are welcome Andrew". Diana got up as well. "We have to depart as well, it is getting late". She helped Akko to her feet.
"Yeah, you're very welcome! It was good to see you Andrew!". Akko gave him a bright smile.
The young man just nodded with a faint smile, then he putted his hand in his pockets and took his leave. Akko grabbed one of Diana's arm a rested her head in her shoulder as they exited the cafe as well. They have a lot to explain once they get back to the school, but for the time being, they will enjoy the brief peace surrounding them.
"Sir! Sir! Wait! You have to pay for this!". A waiter chased after Andrew.
Akko and Diana stood there silently.
"Do we tell him?". Diana asked.
"Mmmh". Akko hummed for a moment, placing a finger in her chin as she looked up. "Nah".
A/N
So yeah! Hi guys! I finally finished! I wanted to update this yesterday but it always amazes me how freaking slow I can write. I curse my obsession with video games, they totally hinder my writing skills, but I'll never regret those 500 hours of Skyrim. Totally worth it. Anyway...
A big shoutout to all the readers! To all the Follows and Favs! And to all the reviewers! Thank you so much! Really! It's true what they said about how it motivates you, because it really did it for me!
Some were confused about Diana's choice to turn into Andrew, so I hope this explains things a little. Also, I believe you can guess whose POV is going to be next BONUS.
Fun Fact - This is NOT part of Dianakko week 2018, which apparently started yesterday. Happy coincidence I suppose (?). I'm SO unprepared for daily updates...
So… As always, if you guys have anything to share, I'm all ears (Or eyes? Whatever…).
Best regards!
