A/N: Right boys welcome back. I'm on a time crunch so I'll make this quick. This week's chapter comes from our friend Magicantix, who suggested an office AU! This was really fun to write and I kind of want to do more later; it just fits this relationship really well.

Reynabot: I'm glad you liked it friend!

DarkyLonewolf: Lel. Thanks my friend! Oh yeah big time, Sucy is the purest kind of tsundere. That sounds like a good one! I'll write that down. Though I think Sucy may react with less soft and more screaming and crying and panic attacking.

Eyyy I'm flattered my friend! I frequent TvTropes quite a lot (because lol writing) so its really cool to be a part of the lwa page!

Some Random Dude: Take your time my friend, my fics aren't going anywhere. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

ThatFanFicGuy: R. I will fluff until the day I fucking die. Hah! You missed out on that train friend, but maybe it's just because you deserve compliments? :y Oooh, well if you haven't already done it by the time I get that far down in the list, I will definitely do something like that!

DuwangChew: Boy that shit you pulled with the two trees next to the bridge in your fic fucking killed me; you remain ruler of bridgefic. But I'm glad you enjoyed!

And I hope you all enjoy Akko being super gay.


To say that Akko Kagari wasn't the best worker would be an understatement: she was immature, she was loud, she was unskilled; no one was really sure how she got the job in the first place. But despite her shortcomings, no one had the heart to say anything mean about the brunette, attributed to her friendly attitude, determination, and bright sunny smile.

"Hey idiot, got that Excel doc done for me?"

Well 'No one' might be hyperbole; there was one.

Akko looked up from her computer to see a familiar shark toothed grin leaning over her cubicle's wall. The head of pink hair attached to the grin was tied up in a high professional bun, the woman's beautifully smooth pale face and sparkling red eyes on display for all.

The brunette gulped, swallowing the dreamy sigh that would have escaped otherwise.

"Ah! Ms. Manbavaran! I-I'm uh... almost there!" She stuttered, tearing her eyes away from her superior's neckline to frantically crash her fingers against the keyboard. "F-Forgive me!" She added apologetically, gnawing at her lip as the sound of clicking heels came closer and closer.

A sweet smell, similar to the scent of wet garden soil, floated into Akko's nose and a hand clamped down on the back of her chair, nearly letting a squeak past the brunette's lips.

"Hmm..." Ms. Manbavaran's voice vibrated extremely close to Akko's ear, sending electricity down her spine and a shiver through the rest of her body.

She dared not look left, locking her eyes on the columns and rows of the spreadsheet.

"Move these over below this." Her supervisor offered, pointing over the brunette's shoulder at the screen with a slender finger. "And uhhh... make this double spaced."

For at least five whole seconds, she did nothing, simply sitting there listening to her boss breathe while her brain melted into hot slag. It was all too much: the closeness, her voice, her beauty and form fitting outfit; Akko wanted to just disappear.

"Oi! I asked you to do something!"

A bop to the top of her head was more than enough to shake Akko from her trance, filling her face with red as she struggled to do as ordered, clicking uselessly before taking a deep shaky breath and remembering how the software actually worked.

"There we go, good girl." Ms. Manbavaran purred, giving another bop before stealing a sip of Akko coffee and slipping out of the cubicle. "I'll let you get back to work."

"I expect that done by lunch!" And then she was gone.

Akko collapsed over her desk, resting her head against the keyboard and putting a hand over her pounding heart.

She hated this job: the work was boring, the environment was suffocating, and the pay was barely more than she could make serving pancakes at IHOP.

But she kept coming every single day.

Because of that.

"You seriously have it bad."

An amused voice drew Akko's attention to her opposite wall where a pair of eyes peeked just over and into the cubicle, a head of brushed back orange hair contrasting harshly against the greys and creams of the office.

The brunette groaned in response, turning her head back down to rest her forehead against the space-bar; causing a single cell in the spreadsheet to grow to ten times its original size. "Is it that obvious?"

Amanda snickered, lifting her face fully over the wall and resting her forearms on it. "Well you're not exactly subtle. Have you seen your face when she's around?" On one such occasion, the brunette's face flushed so red that it became comparable to her eyes; Sucy got a good laugh out of that, pressing a soda can against her face.

"If she punched me in the face I would probably say thank you..." Akko admitted, making a noise not dissimilar to that of a dying whale as she melted into her chair.

Another snort ripped out of the redhead and she shook her head. "Well I can't help you with that..." She started, lifting off of the wall and turning to lean back against it instead. "But maybe if you finish that spreadsheet she'll give you another pat on the head."

The image that idea placed in the brunette's head was incredibly pleasant: Ms. Manbavaran smiling approvingly at the tablet before giving the same smile to her, reaching out a gentle hand to pat her teasingly on the head, maybe even tousling up her hair a bit.

"God look at you." Amanda sighed with an audible roll of her eyes. "'Wish I could get that excited about something..."

Newly invigorated, Akko ignored the redhead's snide remarks, giving her entire focus to the software in front of her; starting with the incredibly large single cell she had created during her crush based meltdown.

'Alright Akko, let's make her proud.'

She caught her pink haired supervisor on the way to lunch, bag slung over one shoulder and a protein bar of some kind in her mouth.

"Ms. Manbavaran!" The brunette called nervously, hugging the tablet to her for comfort chest like some sort of stuffed animal. "I-I finished it!"

Eyebrows jumping up into her hairline, Sucy took the food out of her mouth, chewing and swallowing properly before speaking. "Really?" She questioned, getting a rapid nod in response. "Well I guess you can at least follow orders. Lemme' see."

Akko turned the device around, waking it from sleep for her boss to look over.

"Mmm... Yup." She hummed, taking another bite of her bar. "Mhm, this will do fine."

The look of sheer relief and joy on the brunette's face was comical, an excited noise slipping past her lips as they released tension. "Really?"

Ms. Manbavaran's lips curled up at the edges in a small yet sincere smile. "Yeah, it's great." She offered, her smile then growing to become a wide impish grin. "I'm glad I was able to motivate you."

The brunette's cheeks turned a slight shade of pink, carefully looking down at her shoes as to not accidentally ogle her boss' legs. "Y-You did! T-Thank you for the- for the help!"

A weight on the top of her head made Akko look up, maroon eyes meeting blood red ones.

"You respond well to this kind of stuff yeah?" Sucy inquired with a raise of her eyebrow, her grin subdued but still very much there.

Akko nodded slowly, face becoming hotter by the second.

"I'll remember that." The woman hummed, giving one last pet before removing her arm. "You do good work when you're motivated."

And then she walked away, leaving a very red brunette to cool down.

From that day forward, the others in the office began to notice their weakest link becoming stronger, churning out documents at until then unthought of speeds, and leaving the rest of them in the dust.

Though again no one said anything, owing to their supervisor's more frequent rounds and the brunette's accompanying flushed face.
