I hope all my American friends had a wonderful thanksgiving! I just finished up my second out of 3 year end turkeys and oh boi it was a gud. Anyway welcome to Akko introduces her not girlfriend to her parents. Its very gay and also 50% longer than normal chapters.

Have fun.

SunkenStars: Lul I will also subscribe to that headcanon. I'm very glad you enjoyed friend!

Shigiya: Perhaps my friend, though I would have to do some thinking on what non-superficial thing would get Sucy that riled up, there aren't that many things that could get her actually angry at Akko. Hm. Perhaps it would be Akko who gets angry like in The Enchanted Parade? Food for thought I suppose. Thank you for the suggestion!

DuwangChew: This tho. I think the biggest advice I would give to anyone who is having trouble writing Sucy is exactly that. Think about the cause and effect of her life, think about how other abandoned and or orphaned kids see the world.

A stunted emotional development, social anxieties, a feeling of being alone in the world even when they aren't, a feeling of being not wanted. These are big parts of Sucy's character and a huge cause for a lot of her actions.

Without these key elements of her backstory, Sucy would be very different. And indeed the further into the show we get, the more different Sucy gets. She's learning how real meaningful relationships work, and how people do actually want her around, how there is light in the world. Akko and Lotte are massive contributors to that growth.

A Potato: Hey there friend! I'm so glad the fluff sustained! I would adore more episodes that go into Sucy's mental state and how it got that way. She clearly has a very strong mask put up for others alongside a general disdain for the world and its people. As funny as lama Sucy is it takes a pretty serious set of circumstances for someone to hate humanity that much. We pray for season 2.

I hope you enjoy friends!

It had been planned weeks in advance. The day of the harvest festival came with the rare bonus of permitting students to use the leylines and visit family. The parents of course were required to claim responsibility for said students, and guarantee they would return to the school on time.

Sucy remembered with a smirk how Akko forced herself to abandon her beloved card, physically straining against her own grip. The alchemist had eventually just snuck up behind and scared her, making her drop the sheet of cardboard into the bowl.

Now, with everything settled and more casual clothes on, they flew through the leylines towards Akko's nearest terminal. Lotte had left in a different direction towards her own home, eager to visit with her family again, so it was just the two of them yet again.

What a suprise.

"I never knew there was a leyline near my home!" The brunette cried excitedly from in front, turning her head slightly to see Sucy's face over her shoulder. "This is amazing!"

An amused smirk teasing the sides of her lips upward, Sucy snorted a laugh through her nose. "Yeah, there's a lot you don't know."

Brushing off the teasing by virtue of her good mood, Akko's brain clicked and a question arose. "You already had a broom when we met." She stated thoughtfully. "Why didn't you just take a leyline straight to Luna Nova?"

"The one near Ram- uh.. My -home, It hasn't worked for ages." The leylines had been vanishing for years by the time she learned to fly. Who knows how long the one they flew through at that moment would last.

Akko didn't seem too fazed by the alchemist's slip of the tongue, continuing in a happy voice. "I'm kinda glad you didn't just take a straight shot to the school." She admitted honestly, a tiny tint of pink on her face contrasting against the green of the magical vein. "Then we never would have met!"

That would have been a far worse timeline, at least for her. Akko would probably end up making the same number of friends if not more without her, but without that collision on the way to the terminal, Sucy would certainly be alone.

The thought gave her shivers.

"Yeah..." The alchemist murmured, taking a hand off of the broom to press against Akko's stomach, making sure she was still there.

The rest of the trip was quiet, just the constant wind of pure magic flowing around them. Eventually, having successfully navigated the leylines, the girls touched down just outside a familiar cityscape.

Akko hopped off the broom and span around, taking in the afternoon air. The red hoodie and tights combo was rather freeing for the girl, allowing her to jump and dance and spin without constantly thinking about her skirt.

The walk into the city was an lively one as Akko skipped along at her side holding the alchemist's hand and kicking chestnuts as they came up on the path.

"I can't wait to taste mama's cooking again!" She said with a beaming smile. "I purposely skipped breakfast so I could eat as much as possible!" Sucy rolled her eyes: starving herself was something only her guinea pig could be proud of.

A quick bus ride and a block of walking found the girls standing right outside the Kagari's building, the surprisingly standard apartments subverting Sucy's expectations.

"I would have thought you lived in a hobbit hovel or something." She teased as the girl dragged her along, too full of energy to even notice the poke.

There was only so fast they could go, as Sucy's long skirt prevented too large of steps; this chained Akko's excitement somewhat. "Calm yourself little bunny" The alchemist chided as they stood in the elevator. "We're almost there."

A squeeze on the brunette's hand made her actually look Sucy in the eyes.

"But I'm excitteedddd!" Akko pouted, playing with her dearest's fingers to calm herself. "It makes me really happy thinking about you meeting my family."

The small child within Sucy's head fidgeted as anxiety flared, causing a swarm of butterflies to apparate inside her stomach. They really were coming at this whole thing in a weird order: not even past the first kiss step and already she was meeting the parents.

What would she say? "Hello, Mr and Mrs Kagari! I'm your daughters kinda girlfriend who sometimes makes her drink lethal poisons!"

Maybe she should have stayed at school.

Her brooding was broken by a hand knocking on wood. Akko had quietly dragged her from the elevator and together they were about to enter the apartment.

The door opened to reveal a very large Japanese man, his eyes twinkling with a familiar look- one Sucy often saw whenever Akko looked at pickled plums.

"Akko!" He cried, scooping up his daughter in a tight squeeze.

"Papa!" Akko beamed, returning the hug.

Sucy stood awkwardly to the side, slightly fearful of receiving a Kagari Family Deathgrip straight from its patriarch.

Excited Japanese could be heard from further in the apartment and a woman- slightly taller and more aged but otherwise nearly identical to Akko -pulled her husband away to squeeze her baby girl.

"Ohhhh how I've missed yooou! Come in!"

Following the reuniting family inside the apartment and closing the door for them, Sucy kicked off her shoes and stood silently behind the brunette, leaning around to make her presence known.

Akko suddenly wrapped her arms around the alchemist in a thankfully less bone crushing embrace, presenting her to the family.

"And this is Sucy!" She beamed, turning her head to direct it at her love.

Sucy met her eyes with an awkward smile before looking back to the parents. Mr and Mrs Kagari's smiles reflected their daughter's, beaming bright like the summer sunshine.

"So you're Sucy!" Mrs Kagari confirmed, pressing her hands together at her chest. "Akko has told us so much about you!"

"We know she can be a bit of a handful, but thank you so much for looking after her." Sucy smirked a more genuine grin in agreement with Mr Kagari.

"Yeah she's a real dork, but she's my dork." Far away from the school, and surrounded by people who loved Akko just as much as she did, Sucy felt she could be honest.

Akko's mother giggled, smiling warmly at the pair. "Well come and sit, you must certainly have stories."

About half an hour of conversing with Mrs Kagari taught Sucy a few things. For one, Akko's mother was very much like her daughter though mellowed with age, it was like looking into the future and reminded her of her various dreams that did the same.

A second and more eyebrow raising fact was that both Kagari's assumed her to be Akko's girlfriend, bringing up the question of just how much the brunette had told them. Still, Sucy wasn't going to do anything that would make them think otherwise; it was nice to know she had their favour.

When Akko herself walked up to check on the food, she kissed the alchemist on the cheek, showing that she felt the same on the matter.

Finally feeling that missed breakfast, Akko stole a piece of chicken from the skillet, only for it to be snatched up before it ever reached her mouth.

Sucy grinned widely, pulling her chompers away from the brunette's now empty fingers and winking at her betrayed love. "You gotta be faster than that."

"Patience, Atsuko." Akko's mother chided with a smirk. "Why don't you show Sucy your room? You won't be tempted by the smell that way."

'Then i'll be the one who's tempted.' Sucy thought before catching herself and widening her eyes. This was not the time or place to be thinking things like that, especially with Akko's parents literally a few metres away.

In other, less predatory news, Akko's room was exactly as the alchemist pictured.

Simple floral pattered wallpaper adorned with numerous posters of Chariot, mortal made witch paraphernalia scattered all over the room, a desk, a bookshelf no doubt filled with witch related books, and a perfectly average single bed.

Yes this looked right.

After a few teasing chuckles at Akko's expense, Sucy found herself laying beside the brunette on her bed, both arms wrapped around her waist. The bed was far too small for two people and so they laid close together, Sucy's knees slotted in behind Atsuko's.

"I'm so glad you came with me." The girl murmured, laying a hand on Sucy's against her stomach. "I would have missed you too much."

"What? You would have seen me the next day anyway." The mycophile chuckled, laying a kiss just under Akko's ear.

She rolled over in Sucy's arms to face her, beaming bright with a slight pink tint on her cheeks. "Too long!"

This girl almost certainly had some sort of Stockholm syndrome. It was baffling to the alchemist how someone could enjoy her presence, crave it even. "You're such an idiot." She huffed, closing her eyes and smiling.

"But I'm yooooour idiot~" Akko sang, snuggling her head under Sucy's chin.

Damn it, she loved this girl. She needed to start spitting it out more often; maybe even get that missed kissing step out of the way.

"Yeah, you are. Don't you forget it."

But maybe later.

A/N: Damn it Sucy you coward, kiss her. This was a very very enjoyable write. If I didn't do so much skipping around this would have certainly been 2000 words. But hey let me know if more Sucy meets the relatives shit is up your alley and I'll continue.

My brain is currently very empty of things to say other than the next chapter of A Rose in Winter should be up Sunday or Monday morning.

Bepis.
