A/N: Y'all almost certainly already know what this is. Lul. I hope all of you that are in the middle of or are finishing finals are doing well! Know that I am rooting for you!
Shigiya: Correctamundo my dude, Akko has many self inflicted injuries from over the years and Sucy, being a good not-girlfriend was manually fixing the scar tissue that remained. When that stuff builds up and never gets dealt with properly it can lead to a whole host of other problems. Thank you friend!
Guest: At some points she seems that way, but a sociopath is defined by a lack of conscience and extreme antisocial behaviours- two things that Sucy does not have. Though she may act like a jerk, Sucy does indeed care for her friends deeply and has been shown to have a conscience- however dysfunctional it may be. These pieces of her only continue to grow stronger as the show goes on, as she pushes through the damage her dumpsterfire of a childhood caused. Thank you for your question!
zealousrean: Lul. Akko has learnt to live with that little revelation the longer shes been 'with' Sucy. It's always really funny in Sukko fics whenever that aspect of their relationship is brought up and Akko just sighs in defeat. "GUESS I'M A SUB NOW ¯\_ツ_/¯."
A Potato: Thank you so much friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), it's always a fun thing to write. It's kind of like writing a cartoon these days. "How far can I go with this without crossing the line?" And as for Yoga, it really depends on your teacher and the kind of class. When I was doing it for my condition, I went specifically to a therapeutic class, where the main focus was stretching, breathing, and removing scar tissues. I had an insane tight spot in my chest and once it released my yawns no longer filled up my lungs; I could breathe in probably twice as much air.
yuri!Sucy at this point trusts Sucy's mental state enough to not butt in; instead just pushing her to be as gay as physically possible. She's gone from being the angle the the devel.
Time for old memes and also tons of gay.
"SUUUUUUUCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" A shrill excited cry echoed down the hallway, stopping the alchemist in her tracks. She turned halfway to see her love's brunette knot weaving through the river of witches. Fourty six kilograms of joy and determination barreled into Sucy at high speeds, almost knocking the witch off of her feet.
"W-woah woah!" She stuttered, stumbling to regain balance and tightening her grip on the brunette's shoulders. Her chest was heaving as she caught her breath, resting her head against Sucy's shoulder and puffing hot air directly into the alchemist's ear.
"What are you in such a hurry for bunny?" She teased, gently fixing the girl's messy hair. "Late for an important date?"
Sucy's jab went unanswered, the brunette pulling back to look at her love properly. Sucy searched her eyes for any sign of upset; on any other day Akko would have rebutted her, or at least laughed.
But Akko wasn't upset, in fact her rubies were wide and sparkling with glee. "Sucyyyyyy~" She sang, her mouth stuck in a wide and shining grin. "It's snowwwiiiiinggg!"
A quick glance to the right found the girl's words true. White powder fell from the sky in globs, singular snowflakes sticking together as they plummeted to the ground. There was already a light dusting over the courtyard's grass, the tallest blades still peaking above the blanket of white.
"So it is..." Sucy murmured, absentmindedly thumbing the brunette's skin. It had been a few years since she had personally seen snow, the recently hotter temperatures filling winter with mainly rain.
A tugging on her arm brought Sucy's attention back to the girl in front of her. Akko was bouncing on the balls of her feet, glancing excitedly out the window in a childlike manner.
The alchemist chuckled, lifting her hand to grip Akko's chin and turn it towards her. Without saying a word she leaned forward, kissing the girl on the very tip of her nose. "I would call you an idiot, but you're just too cute right now."
Akko flushed pink, happily fiddling with Sucy's fingers and averting her eyes. As the alchemist watched her love it suddenly hit her that Christmas was right around the corner. The gift she was making was taking longer than expected. The remaining week would probably be filled with a few all nighters, but she wanted to make sure it was perfect; Akko deserved no less.
"Would you like to take a walk in the snow?" That said, it would be counter-intuitive to ignore Akko during it all.
The brunette nodded frantically up and down, almost bolting for the stairs before Sucy leaned back and stopped her. "Hold on there hon. You're not dressed for the cold." She gestured in the direction of their dorm. "Let's get bundled up hey?"
Twenty minutes later they stood at the door, ready to step out into the snow. Akko's blue scarf wrapped around both of their necks, binding them together closely at the shoulders. In one hand Sucy held a navy blue umbrella, prepped to be opened; her dearest's gloved fingers in the other.
Other witches milled around in the courtyard ahead, shaping snow into elaborate sculptures with their wands or merely standing around to watch the powder fall.
A happy blush covered Akko's cheeks, her eyes shining as she looked out over the icy courtyard. "Its beautifuulll~" She sang, turning to smile up at the alchemist.
Sucy's half-lidded eye met her own, the edges of the mycophilic witch's lips rising. "It's alright." The pure white of freshly fallen snow was plenty pretty sure, but Sucy had seen far more beautiful things that year.
Opening up the umbrella Sucy led the girl out into the snow shielding their clothes from unnecessary wetness.
Akko held a hand out from their protective cover, allowing a few clumps of snow to fall and melt on her palm.
"Don't go making snow angels." Sucy chastised, lightly chuckling at the absolute wonder on the brunette's face as the snow piled on her hand. "I can't have you getting all soaked through."
"Come on idiot, bring that hand back in; it'll get cold." She tucked Akko's hand into her coat pocket, feeling the remaining snowflakes melt through her wooly gloves.
Akko seemed rather okay with it, snuggling her chilly nose deeper into their shared scarf and returning to simple viewing of the sky.
"Breaking News! Snow over Luna Nova!" An excited shout signaled the entrance of the Luna Nova News Network into the courtyard. Wangari the school anchor hopped over the stairs to land gracefully in the snow.
"The first snowfall of the season, and everyone is having fun!" She spun around on the spot sliding over to one group of witches and signalling for her photographer to snap a picture.
The couple stood in the snow watching Wagari interview a few of the students, snowflakes catching in her messy orange hair.
"And what do you think about the snow, Akko?" Wagari asked, bounding over to stick her mike in their face with a grin.
Akko shared the dark skinned reporter's smile, their shared energy combining to nearly deafening levels.
"Being in the snow with someone I love like this immerses me in a special feeling. It's amazing!" The alchemist averted her gaze with a slight blush, bashfully focusing on a bit of snow that had yet to be stepped in.
A camera flash made her jolt, gaze snapping back towards the Wangari and her photographer who were smiling together at the picture they had just taken.
"Oi!" Sucy objected, yanking the photo out of their hands with lightning speed. "Photography requires my consent! I signed the form!"
The news crew visibly deflated, slinking off to find more photogenic students. They would have grumbled something about the cost of camera film, but Sucy's aggressive scowl expedited the process.
"Let me see the picture!" Akko cried, slightly miffed about the sudden lack of hand holding and searching for consolation. The alchemist gave her so such thing however, swapping hands to hold the umbrella on her other side, keeping the picture out of reach to view it herself.
Akko's beaming smile took centre stage, leaning into the poison master's shoulder while she looked away. Sucy had to admit, it was quite a nice picture of the two of them: it showed them in a rather coupley situation while not compromising the front she put up. The slight tint to her cheeks was shared by everyone in the background, looking like only like a reaction to the cold rather than an embarrassed blush. In fact her face looked rather hard and serious.
"Sucy! Lemme see!" The brunette whined, hugging Sucy's arm tightly.
"No way." She barked. "Unsolicited photographs are to be destroyed immediately."
That was a lie. She would be doing no such thing.
A/N: She's gonna cherish that photo forever. That tsundere fuck.
The special feeling meme is so fucking cute, I just had to write about it. But hey if any of you with that art talent want to draw a Sukko version for me in your spare time fuckin go for it. I will die.
In other news Chapter 12 of A Rose in Winter is still delayed as fuck because I got tier 13 writers block out of nowhere at around 800 words in. On the plus side I did finally draw cover art for it so at least I did Something.
I'm now going to sulk at my word processor for a while.
