"It's my treat."

It was typically another weekend for the heiress of the Cavendish family. A day filled with nothing but boredom and responsibilities. Anna, the Cavendish family's head maid, had been constantly worrying about the young lady's social life and health; mainly because she hasn't been getting out of their residence ever since she got home.

"Young lady, you have to relax too, you know? You have to spend some time with your friends…" She would constantly say whenever she found Diana burying herself with work meant for her aunt. "It's fine, Anna. I'm used to it."

And yes, Anna does believe Diana, and she respects her dearly – but she cares too much for her to miss out on her youth. So she decides to contact that one noisy girl that somehow save Diana from her evil aunt before.

Diana was in her study when Akko suddenly barged in. To say she was shocked was an understatement. Blue eyes scanned the clock on the wall above her before they set their sights on the brunette grinning widely in front of her.

"Yo, Diana."

Diana was secretly happy to see that Akko would take her time to come to her abode even when Akko lives far away from her; but she can't let Akko know that, so she feigned irritation.

Her eyebrows twitched and she closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose as she tries to make sense of the situation.

"What are you doing here?" She asks silently, already knowing part of the answer.

"You need a break, Diana. That's why I'm here!" Akko chuckled as she scratched the back of her head. "Anna called me, she's worried."

Diana's facial expression softened and she looked at Akko with one of the gentlest smiles Akko had ever seen from the blonde. Akko's smile faltered, and she clutched her chest with her hand. Her heart was thumping repeatedly.

"Thank you." Diana said genuinely. She looked up at the clock again and found that it was close to noon. "I'll get dressed and get my stuff, then we'll go. I'll also thank Anna later." Diana spoke.

Akko nodded in agreement and followed Diana to her room. "Oh, and Akko?"

"Hm?"

"Where are we going?"

Akko held her chin as she thought of a place. "There's a movie theater close. I'll pay for our tickets, don't worry!" She held her hand in a thumbs up pose. Diana smiled, staring at the floor beneath her.

"Akko," She started, pausing to look into crimson eyes, and then muttered a "It's my treat. For all this."

She swiftly turned away and strutted to her room, almost like she was in a hurry. But Akko didn't mind, no… Akko was happy. Extremely happy.

Her face was flushed red and her eyes wouldn't take itself off the floor, but she was happy she made Diana smile. She's cute.
