A/N: Holy moly my dudes, writers block fuckin sucks. But I'm proud to say I met both of my quotas! Here's that picnic I promised, with a whole lot of sugary fluff. I apologize for any diabetic comas that may follow.
A Potato: Thank you my dearest friend! Suggestions are always always welcome, they help immensely with the whole writers block shizz. As a sufferer of anxiety myself I thought my particular kind to fit Sucy's character rather well. I'm glad you think so too!
Magicantix: Hahah! Don't you worry my friend, I will only ever tease with ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) content. I hope you find this chapter sufficient in its fluffiness! Thank you so much for the review!
Guest: If you're looking for more ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) my boi Barnable has what u need.
DuwangChew: Thank you friend! It was a very fun perspective for me to write, and very personal to how I feel about my own anxiety. I like to think most of the student body is rather afraid of Sucy when she's in a bad mood. It's probably for the best, as our mushroom lover has the potential to be incredibly dangerous.
Baka-Akko: Hah, well to be fair Dianna was rather bitchy at the beginning, which is why it's so satisfying to see her grow throughout the show and become a true friend to all of the witches. Thank you my friend!
I hope you enjoy the sugar my friends! Remember to brush your teeth!
Summer was ending. September was nearly through, signalling the earth's drift into cold slumber. Skies of grey were becoming more and more common as the sun made itself a rarity. Steadily for weeks now, the temperature dropped lower and lower, only spiking up on those rare days of golden bliss.
It was on one of these blissful days of blue sky and green grass that Atsuko decided to make the most of the waning season. "A picnic!" She cried, beaming widely at her friends, the bright shining sun in her mouth warming them all. "We can all bring something and just enjoy ourselves!"
They now sat together under a mighty oak tree, enjoying the warm breeze and the waning colours of life; all manners of food sprawled out on the blanket beneath them. Fresh fruit from Lotte, exotic chocolates from Jasminka, even a full fresh loaf of bread made specially by Constanze in her custom oven.
The girls were quite into the idea, exhausted with the end of semester grind and ready for some relief. Sucy took a bit more convincing however, grumpy as she is, though nothing a few cheeky kisses from her love couldn't fix.
Akko giggled, remembering the alchemist's pink flush and bashful expression. "You're cute when you blush." She teased, reaching up to lay a peck on the bottom of her love's pale chin.
Sucy's grip around her waist tightened, a grumbled murmur escaping her lips. "Shut up..." A single pickled plum was dangled above her mouth like a dog treat, teasing her with the deliciousness so close yet so far away. She could feel a tiny droplet of drool slide down her chin, a rumble of laughter vibrating through the body behind her.
"You'd do anything for one of these wouldn't you?" Sucy chuckled, at long last letting the brunette take a bite when she nodded furiously. "Good to know... They may be useful to tempt you into more volunteering."
Akko's betrayed expression was priceless, horrified at such a wonderful thing being used for evil. Sucy cackled, hugging her dear guinea pig tight; kissing her twice on the cheek once the giggles subsided.
The alchemist simply relaxed there, taking in the simple pleasure of having the one she loved so close. There was a warmth in her chest as Akko sat there in between her legs, a hand over her own on the girl's stomach as she leaned back against her chest. Memories returned to that movie night, where their roles were reversed; how happy that night and subsequent morning made her.
'Isn't it wonderful to be in love?~' The little girl sang, reveling in the warmth as much as her much larger version. She had to admit, letting go was one of the best decisions she's ever made.
"Sucy!" Akko called, preventing the alchemist from responding to herself properly. "You need to eat too." The bubbly brunette turned in her grip, holding a few strawberries in one hand and a single berry in the other, offered in front of her face. "No biting this time!"
Sucy giggled, moving her grip to hold the girl's waist with both hands as she knelt in front of her. Her shark toothed maw opened wide, chomping twice for good measure, a long expectant sound flowing from her throat.
The sweet berry moved just a tad closer and immediately had a large portion bitten out, only barely missing the brunette's fingers. Akko, not wishing to risk her fingers further, popped the rest of the strawberry into her own mouth, getting a replacement from her other hand.
"Oi! You're stealing my sustenance!" Sucy complained, faking a big lipped pout.
Akko lifted a single finger and booped it against the alchemist's pale nose, making the pout real. "It's called sharing Sucy!" She teased, shifting her position to Sucy's lap, legs draping over the witch's covered knees.
"And you know what they say~" She sang, resting her head on Sucy's shoulder with a bright smile. "Sharing is caring! And you care about me, don't yoooou?~"
Sucy mumbled grumpily in agreement, a light tint of red staining her face. Akko was being far too smooth today, confidence from an unknown source powering her advances.
"Open up!" Another strawberry was held out in front of Sucy's face, jabbing her in the lip a few times. The alchemist begrudgingly took bite, watching as Akko swallowed down the rest.
"Toss us some of that chocolate!" She suddenly called to the girls, giving a thumbs up when the bag's trajectory came to rest in Akko's lap. Her sweet tooth was acting up and demanded sugar- of the food variety, kissing Akko wouldn't fix this. Not this time.
Atsuko was just about to stick her hand into the bag in order to satisfy the potion master's cravings, but Sucy stopped her. "Clean that strawberry juice off before you contaminate the bag, you barbarian." She chastised, grabbing the girl's wrist, kissing and licking the juice off of her fingers. "Mmm, sweet."
Akko's face burnt completely red, horrified expression frozen on her face. Her brain filled with images not suitable for some audiences, making her burn hotter and redder. "S-Sucy..."
The alchemist's sly set of shark teeth twinkled in the summer sun, her eyes creased in impish joy. "What's wrong?" She asked in faux innocence, fluttering her eyelashes. "We're just eating chocolate."
A snort broke the tension, Amanda's smug grin leaking into her words. "Seems Akko wants you to eat something else."
"Amanda! Rude!" Lotte flushed, chiding her friend's filthy tongue. Sucy however, reveled in her love's tomato red face, cackling loudly.
She stood, lifting Akko up into a bridal carry, grinning even wider when the girl covered her face with her hands. "You're gonna have to wait, little guinea pig, I'm hungry for something else."
Akko looked down in her lap and then back up to her snake of a crush. Her mouth was open expectantly, still waiting for that chocolate, pleased smile pushing her cheeks up against her eyes.
Grasping the bag for a moment, Akko picked up a piece, looking like she was moving to feed it to the pale girl. She instead suddenly wiggled out of Sucy's arms onto the grass, scrambling to her feet and running a distance away. "If you want it, you're gonna have to catch me!" She teased, waving the chocolate up in the air.
Sucy's shocked expression melted into a predatory grin and she chuckled, crouching down like a cheetah, preparing to strike. "You wanna play that game, Akko? Alright."
And then she sprung, chasing her love across the fields.
The other girls simply watch as this all unfolded, laughing when Sucy missed a pounce, cheering when Akko was finally pinned to the ground.
"You know." Amanda started, crunching on a bag of chips from her relaxed position against Jasminka's back. "They should just stop beating around the bush and make out."
Constanze nodded, watching her two Stanbots act out what such a scene would look like.
Lotte sat and watched with a warm smile, laughing when Akko tried to bat the other witch over the head with the chocolate bag. "Love isn't something you can force. They'll find their own way eventually."
'But..' Lotte conceded, watching her two friends goof around. 'Perhaps they could use a little push.'
A/N: You know, sometimes I forget what I write in the labyrinth of my mind. Which sometimes sucks. A plus tho is that I get to read my own shit and have the same experience as you all. So that's fun.
