"You might like this."
A yawn escaped the lips of the Cavendish heir as she browsed through the different papers laid out in front of her. She stretched her arms out to wake the sleeping muscles and she stood up to make sure blood is still running through her legs. Today was a Wednesday evening, and she was supposed to work until late at night.
Her glossy blue eyes glanced at the time on her laptop. 6:03 pm?
She knew wishing for Akko to show up out of the blue would not get the girl to come to her office when the rest of the day is the brunette's rest time. Thinking that, she begrudgingly wrote her notes on little post-its, to make sure she would not forget about her opinions on various pages of the document.
She doesn't usually feel this sluggish when it comes to working, but for some reason, she couldn't get into her usual moods. An hour filled with pens writing on paper and various keys pressed on the keyboard before she heard her office door open.
"You might like this," she heard the familiar sweet and bubbly voice from a certain brunette ring out and carry itself to her ears. A slight smile made its way on her face, despite the stress she felt with having to deal with all these papers for the company's CEO.
"Will I?" She challenged the brunette in front of her, observing the fact that Akko was hiding something behind her.
"I-I'm not sure, but I passed by that one café you love so much." Akko says, her hands revealing themselves to show Diana a box filled with chocolate croissants and a cup filled with Diana's favorite brew of coffee.
"I figured you might want some, since you're having a rough day and all. I heard from Hannah and Barbara." Akko grins as she set the food on the table nearby. "Eat up, you're stressing too much." A sigh escaped Diana as she heard that.
"It's kind of rough these days," Diana says, her hand reaching out to take the croissant. She bit the end and chewed, her eyes closing in delight at the heavenly taste that reached her mouth. Once her mouth was empty, she continued. "I somehow feel like I should just stop working and sleep." She mutters, her eyebrows furrowed in frustration. She did not notice when it happened, but suddenly, Akko was behind her - playing with her blonde hair.
"There, there." She heard a playful voice coo from behind her. As much as she wants to scold Akko for teasing her, Akko's hands running through her hair feels nice; so, she let it be. "You know, you've changed from when we were younger…" Akko trailed off, her fingers gently massaging Diana's scalp as she played with the silk like hair.
"Hm? How so?" Diana asks, leaning against Akko's body out of pure relaxation. Akko smiled at the sight before her, but tries not to let it show. "You wouldn't really tell anyone if you're having a hard time, look at you now…" Akko says, before suddenly pinching both of Diana's cheeks.
"Ah! Ouch!" Diana yelps, her hands grasping the ones stretching the sides of her face.
"You're talking about sleeping while working? Wow, who would've thought that the great 'Diana Cavendish' would be like this?" Akko teases, her hands still pinching Diana's cheeks.
"I'm showwy" Diana says, tapping Akko's hands to let her know she's had enough. Akko releases Diana's cheeks with a sigh, before suddenly bursting out in laughter.
Diana was rubbing her cheeks soothingly when she heard the bubbly laughter from the brunette. She pouted before facing against Akko, so she could start working again. "Somehow, I felt like our roles reversed for a moment." Akko laughs, rubbing the back of her neck. Diana only scoffed at her, feigning anger.
"Diana?" Akko asks, her smile gone from her face. "Diana, I'm sorry~" She sung out, her hands poking Diana's cheek. Diana continued to ignore her, but Akko knew she was close to giving up. A few more minutes of poking and silence later, Diana and Akko looked at each other.
Crimson met azure, and then suddenly, both were clutching their stomachs while laughing their hearts out.
"We're so stupid…" Diana says, as she wipes a tear off her face.
"Yeah." Akko agrees, a face eating grin on her face.
I'm an idiot for you, after all. Akko thinks, her eyes drifting over the forgotten box of croissants. I'd trust you with all of my heart.
