"Look both ways."

Staying up late with the person you love when you had work the next day wasn't such a great idea either. Most especially when that person has no idea you're in love with them. Diana stayed over at Akko's because the brunette insisted that it's way too unsafe to walk around town in the middle of the night by herself. She didn't exactly get much sleep, because the two spent most of their time talking to each other about their daily lives.

So right now, Diana walked around Akko's kitchen looking like the undead. Eyebags were covered up with light make up as she was mindlessly stirring the contents of the cup in her hands. She stared at herself in the mirror at the corner of the room, sighing inwards at how awful she looked. She heard the door behind her open up and her head whipped quickly towards it.

There stood a groaning Akko, her brown hair all over the place. She didn't have her signature tuft of hair up and her shirt was disheveled in all the wrong places, and even in the exhausted state they both are in, Diana still was breathless. She stared at Akko in awe, her eyes glistening with so much love and admiration and a small smile threatened to form on her lips.

At that moment, she forgot all about how tired she was. Standing in front of her was the Akko she loved so much.

I want to wake up to that sight every day. Diana says to herself, shaking her head at the thought. Impossible. Don't even think about it.

"Good morning, Akko." She says calmly, trying to compensate for the raging gayness she felt inside. She watched as Akko jumped from her skin in total shock, as if forgetting that Diana stayed over the night before.

"Oh, it's just you. Phew." Akko sighs in relief, her back leaning against the kitchen counter. Her shirt rode up and Diana tried to look away, to no avail. Gulp.

"Don't you have work in thirty minutes, Diana?" Akko asks as she reaches for the box of cereal in the cabinet above her. Diana, still trying to steer her eyes away, just nodded and hummed in approval. "I've got a lot of roads to cross from here." She says jokingly, or at least, she assumes it's funny.

Akko giggles, her morning voice rumbling in her chest. "Okay then, as long as you look both ways, you'd be fine." She smiles. She held a bowl in her left hand and the box of cereal in the right. She sets it down on the table across and sits on the chair.

"Breakfast?" She invites the blushing azure eyed girl, gesturing to the cereal that is now on the table. Diana sits across Akko and nods, reaching for another bowl at the counter.

"I'm kind of worried about you, you know?" Akko starts as she munches through a bunch of cereals in her mouth, gulping it all down once she finished chewing. "You look really tired." She says, her eyebrows furrowed to check if Diana was alright. "I don't want any car to hit you or something…" She finishes.

Diana smiled. "No, I'll be careful." She says, taking a sip of milk from the almost empty bowl. "Thanks for the food, Akko." She stands up and takes her belongings.

"I'll see you later?" She asks, her eyes somehow pleading. Akko nods and grins before bidding Diana farewell.

So as Diana walks down the number of streets, she looks both ways and smiles. Soon, I'll tell you how I feel, Akko. I'm making that my next goal.
