After dating Akko for a couple of weeks, Diana sees Andrew confessing to her girl...
Or, the One-Shot where Diana fights for the girl she loves...
Literally...
Takes place after chapter 1 and before chapter 5.
I got this prompt just when I happened to be writing it hahah! Jealous Diana is just too cute.
She was not jealous, Diana kept saying to herself while watching Akko and Andrew talking with each other.
The blonde witch had not been oblivious to the fact that the older man was spending more time at Luna Nova. And, while she may have welcomed his newfound support for witches, she didn't like the fact that he seemed to spend most of his time with her Akko.
Yes, her Akko because the two of them had started dating a couple of weeks ago.
Diana had been elated at the opportunity of being with Akko, and although they did spend most of their free time together during their first week as a couple, with exams around the corner they had barely seen each other. Also, there was the fact that Diana had been pretty secretive about their new relationship by not holding hands in public or acting like a couple. In fact, she couldn't even blame Andrew that much for wanting to be with her girlfriend (?) because no one knew that they were dating.
The reason they kept their relationship a secret was not because she was embarrassed of Akko. Diana knew very well that was impossible since she loved the brunette witch tremendously. The problem was her insecurities; her fear and lack of experience when it came to showing her affection to others. She had been raised in a way that made many stay away from her and Diana had grown too accustomed to that. And perhaps that was what was so refreshing about Akko and the way she acted with her; the way she hugged her tightly, how she kissed her cheeks and held her hands, the way her lips felt on top of hers…
In retrospective, it wasn't hard to see how Akko had managed to capture her heart.
So why was it that she couldn't do the same with Akko?
She knew that the brunette witch was very perceptive and understood her the best, which was why Akko never pressured her or behaved differently after confessing their feelings to each other. And although Diana loved the Japanese girl for that, it was the main reason why no one knew that they were dating. In fact, their friends had believed that the date between each other went well and that was it. And Akko, her understanding Akko, had not told them otherwise.
Because she's waiting until I'm ready to say it… Diana thinks with a bright smile and then feels even more foolish for hiding behind the bushes.
She was spying on Akko and Andrew's encounter and she felt terrible about it.
I'm not spying on Akko, she tries to convince herself, because I trust her.
The one I don't trust is Andrew, Diana growls and tenses when the young man laughs loudly at something Akko said to him.
I don't like the way he's looking at you… the blonde witch thinks while seeing Andrew laughing and staring warmly at her girlfriend.
Am I crazy, have I lost it? she murmurs and grabs her own hands tightly when he gets closer to Akko.
Even though I know you love me, can't help it… Diana gulps and feels her heart shattering when Andrew holds her girlfriend's hand and starts speaking warmly to her with a soft blush on his face.
He is confessing to Akko…
He is confessing to the girl I love…
Taking her wand out and getting ready to jinx the man for talking to Akko, Diana relaxes and let's go of her weapon when she sees Akko take her hand off his and speak apologetically to him before leaving.
Relieved, Diana doesn't move from her position until she makes sure that Akko is far away from Andrew. Ready to follow her girlfriend and talk to her, she stops when she sees the brown-haired man running to the front of the building and earning the attention of the other witches in it.
"I won't give up Akko!" Andrew screams and Diana feels ready to kick him. "A believing heart is your magic and I know that if I believe then I can win your heart!" he exclaims and all the girls surrounding Akko squeal in excitement.
That's just very cheap… Diana thinks, but clever as well, she has to admit.
"So romantic!" she hears some girls say.
"Although I can't believe that it's all for Akko…" another adds enviously.
"Come on Akko! Go on a date with him!" the girls that are surrounding Akko say and the brunette merely smiles apologetically before walking away.
Quickly planning on following her, Diana gets out from her hiding spot and starts running towards Akko. But, before she can get inside the building, she notices Andrew staring knowingly at her from his car while waving with a smirk on his face.
So he knew I was hiding there…
Not wanting to even talk to him, Diana merely ignores him and goes inside, doing her best to catch up to Akko. She knew the brunette's schedule, and based on the time, Akko should be done with classes and heading towards her room.
Using her advantage of knowing the school from the inside-out, Diana takes a shortcut and manages to arrive to Akko's room before she does. In fact, she sees the brunette witch absently walking towards her, her face scrunched up and confused.
"Akko…" Diana says warmly.
"Diana!" Akko's bright smile momentarily makes the blonde girl forget why she was here. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see you." she whispers softly.
"Me too!" she runs towards Diana and hugs her tightly before letting go. "But you said that you were going to be busy with exams and I know how much you worry about your study time and I didn't want to be a distraction."
"Is that why you haven't come to see me?" Diana asks sadly because she didn't want Akko to think that she was an inconvenience.
Akko simply nods and Diana quickly opens the door to the brunette's room. After making sure that no one was there, she pushes Akko inside and closes the door before walking towards her.
"Diana?" Akko asks confused. "What are you doing?"
"Is it not obvious?" Diana says with a soft smile on her face. "I'm kissing you." she states and as soon as she does she goes ahead and kisses Akko desperately on the lips.
By Jennifer, how much she had missed Akko's kisses... Diana thinks while moaning and exploring Akko's body with her hands.
"Diana…" the brunette whispers surprised but accepts her kisses and touches by matching her movements with the same desperation she felt.
"I have missed you so much." Diana tells Akko while separating from her lips and peppering kisses on her neck tenderly. "You are no inconvenience, Akko." she promises the brunette confidently. "You are the sun of my days and the moon of my nights."
This makes Akko smile warmly at her before grabbing her face and returning the kiss Diana had given to her with as much passion as she could.
Diana, of course, accepted it happily and spent the last couple of minutes making out with the girl of her dreams.
"Not that I'm complaining…" Akko says to her after a while. "But what brought this up?" she points at their lips cheekily. "Usually I'm the one that initiates our kisses."
This makes Diana separate from Akko and take a deep breath.
"I saw you talking with Andrew." she simply says while looking at Akko. "And I saw him confess his feelings to you."
"You saw me?" the brunette asks surprised. "If you did, then you must have seen that I rejected him."
"I did." Diana whispers conflicted.
"Then what has you so worried? You know I don't have feelings for him. That the person I lo… I like is you, Diana." Akko asks her honestly.
"I trust you and your feelings… It's not your fault that they hover. I mean no disrespect." Diana immediately tells her. "I just don't like the fact that he thinks he can keep flirting with you. That he doesn't know that you're no longer available."
This makes Akko open her eyes in shock and then smile wickedly after understanding what was happening.
"Are you telling me that Diana Cavendish is jealous?" she asks with a smirk on her face.
This makes Diana blush and look down in embarrassment.
"It's my right to be hellish." she replies childishly but firmly. "Even I can get jealous."
Akko gives her a warm smile and holds her hands tenderly before kissing her lovingly on the lips.
This kiss, unlike their earlier ones, was not out of jealousy or desperation.
This one was a declaration; a statement of what Akko felt for her and their bond.
"No one…" the brunette tells her confidently. "Can even compare to you, Diana. No one, can come close to what I feel for you." she promises her and this makes Diana lose her composure and run towards her to be held.
"You must think of me as such a hypocrite…" Diana cries while holding Akko desperately. "Here I am getting jealous when it's my fault that no one knows that we're together."
This makes Akko move her a little so that they can see each other.
"Of course not, Diana. I know that you're not doing this out of being embarrassed or ashamed of me. That it is because of something deeper and more complex." she smiles understandingly. "And although there are times I wish we could hold hands while walking through the hallways or kiss each other without having to hide, what I want most is for you to be happy Diana."
"Akko…" Diana chokes out and again hugs Akko while sobbing.
"So if that means I will have to wait a little longer…" she tells her surely. "Then I will wait until you feel confident enough to kiss me and hold me in public."
"I will…" Diana promises her vehemently. "Please trust me when I tell you I will…" she continues crying in Akko's arms until she runs out of tears.
"I know. I believe in you" Akko says to her with a bright smile and a kiss. "Now, although I wish we could stay here longer, Lotte and Sucy will arrive soon. And, you know they won't stop asking questions if they see you're here."
"But Akko…" Diana says brokenly.
She didn't want to force Akko to lie or hide things to her best friends.
"Only when you're ready Diana." Akko reiterates to her. "Now go." she kisses her one more time and Diana clings to her before walking away from her girl and making her way back to her room.
Akko is too good for me… Diana can only think bitterly.
I love her so much…
"The nerve of her!" Diana hears the envious girl from earlier say out-loud. "Thinking she's la crème de la crème just because of the missile incident."
"Perhaps she rejected him because there's someone else she likes." one of the other girls says softly.
"No, I know girls like Akko. They pretend to be dumb and friendly until they get an opportunity. After that, they start acting all mighty and soon enough they're even capable of stabbing you in the back."
"Samantha, that's not very nice." her friend scolds her.
"I'm just saying it like it is." Samantha smirks. "Akko is taking advantage of her newfound popularity and is trying to make Andrew basically beg her to marry him." she scoffs bitterly. "As if that annoying pest deserved more things than the ones she already got."
They're all saying those things about Akko because of me.
Because she had to reject Andrew without telling him why since doing so would make him find out that she's dating me…
And instead of breaking my trust, she is letting those girls think the worst of her and say terrible things about her.
You stupid, loving and perfect woman…
I will not let you down.
"Hmm, I wonder what Akko has that makes all the important people love her." the other girl says honestly. "First, she gets Diana Cavendish to be her friend. Next, she is being taught magic by Chariot Du Nord."
"Add to that the fact that she is very close to Croix-Sensei who, like Chariot, was a Lunar Witch." Samantha continues rambling. "And now she has Andrew Hanbridge confessing his feelings to her. They must all feel very sorry for her."
That bitch is going to pay, Diana thinks darkly.
Diana was not going to let that go.
She was not going to let Andrew get her girl.
She was not going to let those witches laugh and mock Akko anymore.
She was going to show Akko how much she loved her.
Diana had decided.
She was going to confess to Akko her true feelings and tell the whole school that the brunette witch was hers.
Now she needed help to do it.

"Andrew confessed to Akko…" Diana says softly while accepting the tea being given to her.
"He did?" Ursula asks surprised from her seat. "I didn't think he had those feelings for her."
After confessing to Professor Ursula what she felt about her, Diana had worked on getting to know the red-haired woman better. She could see how much the professor meant to Akko and how much Akko meant to her. So, as the brunette's partner, Diana had determined that it was necessary for her to have a bond with the former performer.
What she didn't expect was that she would come to love Ursula just as much as Akko did.
Their connection was immediate, and the visits that had been first planned as obligations soon turned to impromptu tea sessions where the two witches talked about themselves and their past. Diana, slowly, had learned to trust her with it.
"I knew they were close." the blonde witch whispers. "And that Akko was helping Andrew with magic because he was just appointed as Non-Magical Representative of Luna Nova."
"I did hear about that. Akko asked me to meet with them once so I could explain some things to the young man. He was very polite and attentive."
"He can be very charming." she chuckles bitterly.
"I'm sure Akko thinks of him as nothing more than friends."
"Oh, she rejected him earlier." Diana tells her softly. "I'm not worried about Akko's feelings. I know she loves me."
"Then what are you worried about?" Ursula asks her curiously.
"That she doesn't know that I love her too."
"Diana…" the older woman tells her with a warm smile.
"Akko is rejecting Andrew but she's not telling him why because she knows that I haven't been ready to let others know that we're dating." she whispers dejectedly. "But that's not the only part that is hurting me. You know how some girls are with Akko and how they can't seem to accept her."
Ursula nods in confirmation.
"Now they're using this as a way to further mock Akko and speak horrible things about her." Diana chokes out. "And it's all because of me. I haven't been ready to let people know that Akko and I are dating."
This makes Ursula stare at firmly at her.
"Not because I'm ashamed of Akko!" she explains immediately. "It's just that I'm not used to letting others see me like that. I'm not used to others knowing that they can affect me by hurting the people I love." she chuckles mirthlessly. "Which is what I have been unconsciously doing to Akko by not admitting to everyone what I feel for her. She has been hurting because of me."
"I see…" the red-haired woman relaxes and gives her an understanding smile.
She could clearly see that the two young women were crazy about each other and that they were willing to go through everything in order to make the other happy.
She couldn't have asked for a better partner for Akko.
"Which is why I wanted to do something for Akko. I want to show her that she's special and that she deserves everything in the world. That she's more than worthy of my love." Diana admits while blushing. "Besides, I want people like Andrew to stop trying to steal her from me…" she murmurs.
This makes Ursula laugh softly.
Who would have thought that she would see Diana Cavendish be jealous?
"So that's why!" Diana says determined while standing up. "I realized that I need an extravagant, romantic and unforgettable love confession." she nods in confirmation. "Yes, one that makes all the witches at Luna Nova realize Akko's worth and puts Andrew's earlier display to shame."
This makes Ursula laugh loudly.
"You know…" she says to her devilishly. "Although I was a performer and did extravagant magic shows, I was not the mastermind behind them." she takes out a cellphone from her pocket. "But, I do know the person who was."
LWALWALWA
"Did you hear?!" a group of witches say brightly. "Diana Cavendish is going to perform a magic show for all of us after class!"
Diana was going to perform? Akko thinks surprised while looking at Lotte and Sucy curiously.
"I talked to Barbara earlier and she didn't tell me anything about this." the pixie-haired girl says to them.
"This is very unlike Diana." Sucy says bored. "Perhaps she was poisoned or it's someone else who is pretending to be her." she stares at Akko. "Shouldn't you know what your future girlfriend is up to?"
This makes Akko blush brightly.
"She's not my future girlfriend." she murmurs.
Because she already is (?)
"Besides, you both know how she gets when we have exams so I have barely seen her." Akko says sadly because she missed the blonde tremendously.
"Well, then we should go see what all these people are talking about and check if it's really Diana or not." Sucy suggest to them with a wicked smile directed to Akko. "And that way you'll get to stop looking so depressed."
"Sucy!" Akko groans but starts heading towards the main garden.
"Maybe that way we'll also get to hear people talk about something else than you rejecting Luna Nova's golden boy."
"I swear people have nothing to do other than talk…"
"I mean, you did reject Andrew Hanbridge, Akko." Lotte reminds her. "While we know that you did it because you like Diana, you didn't tell him that and he probably thinks that you're nervous about being with him because of his family."
"I couldn't…" she whispers sadly.
"There's nothing wrong about liking her Akko." Sucy is the one that tells her this.
"I know that…" Akko closes her eyes. "I just, I couldn't do it and I had my reasons for it."
"Even if that has made the rest of witches think that you're playing hard to get and have become complete assholes?" Lotte asks bitterly and the two young girls are surprised by her language.
"They can say what they want." the brunette tells them calmly. "As long as my true friends and the people I care about don't believe them, then I'm ok."
"You're too kind for your own good." Sucy says this to her with a soft smile. "Well, the stage is there." she points to the same scenario that was used for the Samhain Festival.
"So it seems like it will happen." Lotte adds surprised and starts making space for the green team to sit with them.
"Akko!" Amanda gives her a knowing smile while sitting next to her. "Here to support your girlfriend?"
Akko blushes and hits her in the arm softly.
"Well, of course I came to support Diana! Cause that is what friends do! Support each other." She starts rambling.
"Yeah, yeah…" the red-haired girl chuckles and stops talking when the lights of the scenario turn off.
"It's going to start!" some witches start murmuring and Akko is honestly just as excited as they are about watching Diana's show.
"Is this seat occupied?" the brunette witch hears a familiar voice ask and sees Andrew smiling at her.
"No." she tells him softly and the man moves to sit next to he, Sucy having moved to give him space.
I'm going to kill her… Akko thinks before focusing on the stage and opening her eyes in shock when she sees Diana appear in it.
So it was true that Diana was going to perform…
But that dress… Akko cannot tear her eyes away from Diana.
"Good evening." the blonde witch says and Akko notices the girl's eyes moving through the audience, only stopping when they find hers.
When their eyes meet, Akko gives her a dashing smile that is quickly returned before it transforms into a scowl.
Confused, it takes the brunette a couple of seconds to realize that Diana's eyes were now set on Andrew, who noticed this and placed his arm around her with a cheeky smile.
"What are you doing?!" she whispers to him angrily.
"Trust me…" he tells her calmly with a bright smile on his face.
Confused, Akko sees that Diana was not taking her eyes away from them and was making fists with her hands.
She knew that this meant that the blonde was mad.
"Although it was said that I was going to perform magic tonight, I'm afraid that there has been a change of plans." Diana says confidently and all the witches surrounding the stage started whispering. "But don't fret…" she continues her speech. "Because although there is no magic performance, that doesn't mean that you will not see a show…"
Huh… Akko is confused and so is the rest of the people watching.
"Because I!" the blonde makes a fencing sword appear with her wand. "Diana Cavendish of the Cavendish Family, challenge you, Andrew Hanbridge, to a duel!"
"Whaaaat!"
A couple of minutes earlier backstage…
"I hope Akko comes…" Diana whispers while remembering all the spells Ursula had taught her.
"Of course she'll come!" Croix says to her from Ursula's cellphone. "That girl is crazy about you. So the fact that it is you the one doing a magic show is going to sweep her off her feet!"
"That does sound plausible…" the red-haired professor murmurs hesitantly.
"Because it is!" the former professor says cheekily. "Besides, you two were the ones that called and asked me for help."
"Indeed." the young girl agrees. "And the show has entertaining spells."
"And it has that special beast I prepared!" Croix says excitedly. "It will be so similar to the show Chariot did in Japan that Akko will realize that you're doing all of this because of her! Once you're done, you'll ask her to join you on stage…"
"And I will make with my magic a four-star shaped pendant." Diana finishes confidently because the plan made sense.
"I think I saw Akko arrive." Ursula informs Diana who nods in understanding and quickly walks to the main stage.
"Now get closer so I can see what's happening!"
"She's just introducing herself." the former performer tells her softly. "Akko is close enough that Diana can see her."
"Perfect, then that means the second part of my plan can begin." Croix says while chuckling.
"What do you mean, what second part?" Ursula asks confused while searching for Akko and seeing that Andrew was sitting next to her. "What is he even doing here?!" she whispers to the woman on the phone.
"I invited him." she merely says while getting closer to the screen. "Nice to see that he is on time."
"Why would you even do that?! And how did you even get his number?"
"Chariot, I am a witch/hacker who created a technological demon that almost destroyed the world. Getting a phone number was not difficult at all."
"…I'm afraid there has been a change of plans…" they both hear Diana say tersely.
"What change of plans?!" Ursula is lost. "This is a disaster. She must have seen Akko with Andrew and will cancel the performance."
"If I predicted Diana's behavior correctly, then that means she will not cancel the show." Croix smiles devilishly at her. "Look at the way she's grabbing her hands while watching them. She's beyond jealous and she will not let this go."
"Diana is not a person that engages in silly fig…"
"Because I! Diana Cavendish of the Cavendish family, challenge you, Andrew Hanbridge, to a duel!"
"Told you so…" the lilac-haired woman exclaims gleefully while getting some ramen out from the microwave. "Diana is going to get her girl."
"Even if she wants to fight, I am sure the Hanbridge boy is beyond…"
"And I accept!" he exclaims confidently while standing up and kissing Akko's palm before walking to the stage.
"I knew it!" Croix shrieks happily. "The kiss on the palm was a nice touch!"
"I don't know if I'm surprised at your abilities to predict people's behaviors or terrified of how you have manipulated all of them into doing this…" Ursula whispers conflicted.
"Just enjoy the show Chariot because things will certainly get interesting…"
Back to Center Stage…
I will kill him… Diana thinks after watching Andrew kiss Akko's hand.
She was the only one allowed to kiss her!
"Tell me Diana…" Andrew says to her after making his way to the stage. "Why are you asking me to fight you?"
"I want you to stay away from Akko…" she tells him angrily.
"But why?" he asks confused. "She's single, and, I like to be around her. Is there something that prevents me, apart from herself, from trying to date her?"
"Yes, there is!" Diana gets closer to him and watches him smirk at her. "Akko is dating someone."
He was enjoying this…
"Is she?" he continues to pretend ignorance. "Because I haven't seen her with anyone. In fact, whenever I come visit her she's all alone. Shouldn't the person dating her wish to spend all the time together?"
This makes Diana stare at Akko who is watching the scene with sad eyes. Although Akko had not complained or said anything to her, the brunette had been upset about the fact that they were not seeing each other very much.
And she was finding this out from Andrew.
She was useless as a girlfriend…
But Diana was going to change.
She was going to show everyone what she felt!
"Besides, why are you the one fighting me? I know you're friends." he smiles knowingly. "But shouldn't it be her special someone the one that tries to stop me from flirting with her?"
Taking a deep breath, and knowing that this was it, Diana makes another sword appear in her hand and gives it to Andrew.
"Her special someone is the one that is going to stop you." the blonde witch says confidently and prepares herself to fight.
This makes the whole room scream and whisper in surprise.
Did Diana just say that she likes Akko?
Running towards Andrew, Diana gives him a warning before starting to wield her sword. Moving gracefully in the stage, she notices he's matching her movements and hits. Pleasantly surprised, the heiress tries to see how he will react to a fake move. Using her sword to hit him in the legs, she nods in respect when he jumps upwards and hits her in the back.
"Diana!" she hears a familiar scream and sees Akko standing in the front of stage, her eyes worriedly looking her over.
"I'm alright!" Diana gives her girlfriend a bright smile. "And I will beat him! For you!" she promises and smirks when the brunette witch blushes before turning to look at her opponent. "Sorry to keep you waiting." she apologizes to Andrew.
"You're good!" the brown-haired man tells her with a happy smile on his face.
"You too." Diana answers him and both realize that they're enjoying their impromptu fight.
But, while Andrew was good at fencing, Diana was even better.
And, she needed to beat him so she could make a statement.
Hence, Diana made her last move and with a trick she learned from her teacher, the blonde heiress managed to grab Andrew's sword and incapacitate him from fighting back.
"I won…" she says exhausted and makes both swords disappear.
"It seems you did." Andrew concedes. "And, as the winner of the duel, your terms apply. I will no longer flirt with Akko."
"I appreciate that." Diana tells him softly and helps him stand up.
"Diana!" she hears a familiar voice tell her and smiles dashingly at the brunette who was running towards her. "You're alright." the girl says relieved.
"Shouldn't you worry about me? I was the one that lost." Andrew teases them.
"You provoked her." Akko scolds him with a smile. "Besides, not my fault that Diana happens to be a badass at sword-fighting." she gives the blonde all her attention. "You were incredible!"
"Thank you." Diana murmurs while blushing and grabbing Akko's hands tenderly. "I wanted to tell you…"
"Wait, I don't get what's happening!" Samantha, the girl that had been mocking Akko earlier interrupts them and Diana is ready to hit her for real. "This was all a play, right? You just did this as a show. Because, it couldn't be that Diana Cavendish likes Akko Kagari, right?"
"You're right." the blonde witch starts saying and feels Akko's hands trembling.
She squeezes them tightly so that the brunette doesn't let go.
"You're right." she repeats. "I don't like Akko Kagari. I love her." she corrects the girl and hears the whole room squeal in surprise and focuses on Akko who has tears in her eyes. "Meeting you, getting to know you, it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me."
"Diana…" Akko whispers happily.
"And I was afraid of saying this to you because in the past I have lost the people I love most." she admits and knows Akko understands she's talking about her parents. "I was afraid of the fact that admitting what I feel would mean that I would lose you too…"
Akko smiles warmly at her and hugs her tight, making sure of showing her with her actions how much this meant to her.
"Diana…." the brunette witch tells her confidently. "You know I'm stubborn. And you know that I tend to do what I want if I believe it's right." she relaxes a bit. "And what I want most of all…" she looks down in embarrassment. "Is to be with you Diana, because I love you too."
"Akko…"
"So now that you've confessed to me, don't you dare think that I will make things easy for you by leaving your side!" she jokes and makes Diana chuckle warmly.
"I wouldn't expect anything else from you." she slowly gets close to Akko and is ready to kiss her on the lips…
"I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS!" Samantha screams and Diana is going to hit her but is beaten by a smirking Ursula.
"Nice Chariot!" she hears Croix yell excitedly from the phone.
"Ursula-Sensei!" Akko says surprised at watching her mentor. "Croix-Sensei!" she recognizes the cellphone Ursula was carrying. "What are you doing here?"
"Making sure that Diana gets the girl." Croix informs her confidently. "And, thanks to my plan, it seems like she did." she gives a thumbs-up to Andrew who merely lowers his head in acknowledgement.
"Your plan?" the brunette witch continues asking confused. "You mean to say this was all…" she can't finish her sentence because she's being kissed by Diana.
Forgetting what she was even talking about, Akko gives up and decides to focus on her girlfriend and on the fact that she was being kissed by the most beautiful girl in front of the whole school!
Separating after a couple of seconds go by, Akko can't help but hug Diana tightly.
"Thank you!" she whispers to her vulnerably.
"I love you." Diana knows what her girlfriend meant.
Thank you for being brave…
