#ALSO ONCE AGAIN: if this ticks you off or makes you concerned or w/e. You can just ask me. I know what I'm about and I'll give it straight

[joejoeba]

hey, sorry if that makes you uncomfy, but are proshippers allowed to interact with you? if not, then that's fine ^^ but i just want to know (since you dont have a dni) thx in advance :)

hmm ok I'm gonna say this very truthfully. The terms "proship" and "antiship (or is it just anti?)" mean nothing to me, because I've seen WILDLY different explanations of what exactly they both are and no one seems to actually agree or give me a straight answer.

I myself block people who post or say things that I disagree with on a fundamental level (and sometimes just because I want to Cultivate The Dash). If I ever do sth similar, I hope you'll block me without hesitation too, that's why the button's there.

If you want to know my opinions on specific things, ya gotta just ask, man. I don't know your definitions nor can I go through every blog that follows me to block the bad apples

gundham sfw alphabet

pairing - gundham tanaka x gn!reader

warnings - none!!

word count - 1.8k

a/n - FUCK YEAH GUNDHAM (also i apologize, i got lazy near the end)

a = affection (how affectionate are they? how do they show affection?)

in the beginning of the relationship, he would definitely be very hesitant to show physical or verbal affection since it wasn’t something he was used to. he’d show his love with acts of service and giving, most likely. (giving his s/o one of the devas if he knew they’d be separated for a short period of time, bringing them small trinkets he found like pretty rocks or bones, helping them with homework, etc.)

as time goes on, though, he’d become more comfortable with showing physical affection and would grow to become a huge cuddle bug!!! please hug him for me

b = best friend (what would they be like as a best friend?)

literally the coolest friend ever. especially if you had an alternative fashion sense, he’d be so down to go clothes shopping with you LMAO

if you were okay initiating physical affection outside of a romantic relationship, and were able to make him comfortable with that, he’d totally be That Friend who cuddles with you all the time!! he’d never mention it though, and would die on impact if you brought it up in front of any of his other friends/classmates

c = cuddles (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)

once he’s comfortable with it, yeah! he’s definitely super touch starved because of him not having friends most of his life, so having someone to cuddle would make his brain go ^^^^^

honestly, he’s good with any position so it’s up to his s/o. he prefers being able to see their face, though

the first time he ever cuddled with them he cried :(( shh don’t tell anyone though

d = domestic (do they want to settle down? how are they at cooking and cleaning?)

man that’s his DREAM!! the idea of just getting to live with his s/o + animals makes his serotonin machine go BRR

honestly, i think he would fucking suck at cooking. baking, however. :))

because of having to clean up after his animals and keep things out of their way, he would naturally be a pretty neat person out of habit!! i don’t think he’d mind too much if his s/o was messy though.

e = ending (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

I DIDNT DO THIS ONE BECAUSE IT MADE ME SAD IM SORRY

f = fiance(e) (how do they feel about commitment? how quick would they want to get married?)

gundham already sets up so many walls, and for his s/o to be able to break those down would already mean he’d be willing to commit. i don’t think he would ever just like.... date random people for funsies, so being in a romantic relationship with someone is already so big to him.

honestly, i can’t see him being the type to want to get married. he’d definitely want to settle down! but the idea of having a traditional wedding stresses him out. (of course, that doesn’t mean he’d be any less committed :))

g = gentle (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

dealing with small animals like the devas has left him gentle by nature!! he doesn’t even notice it, but he is always extremely careful with his s/o with the subconscious fear of accidentally hurting them/scaring them off :(

emotion wise, i think it’d be the same. when he cares about someone (whether it be romantic or platonic) he’s always cautious of teasing them too much since he knows that it can hurt sometimes. 

h = hugs (do they like hugs? how often do they do it? what are their hugs like?)

HE FUCKINGNF LOVES HUGS

they’re probably SO good too, like he’s the type to give those hugs that make you feel so safe. full on wraps his arms completely around you and rests his head on yours if you’re shorter (since he’d such a fucking giraffe my god)

i = i love you (how fast do they say the L-word?)

it would definitely take a while for gundham to admit it. i can see him saying it on accident, like when he thinks you’re sleeping or not paying attention to him. he’d also need a lot of reassurance afterwards, just because of that initial fear of rejection

j = jealousy (how jealous do they get? what do they do when they’re jealous?)

if he sees someone flirting with his s/o and they’re uncomfortable, he’ll immediately wrap an arm around their shoulder.

“they said they’re taken, respect that knave.”

sometimes he does get insecure that’s he’s too much for his s/o, considering he’s an evil tyrant, and that they might want to leave him for someone who’s..... not an evil tyrant.... (once again, please give him a hug)

k = kisses (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)

like i said before, he’s very gentle when it comes to affection so his kisses are vv soft!! he’ll always hold their chin or one of their hands.

his favorite places to kiss his s/o are probably their forehead and hands!!

he loves being kissed everywhere, but he really likes neck kisses and any kisses around his face :^)

l = little ones (How are they around children?)

he’s great with kids!! he’d tell them stories of how he defeated different warlocks that tried to test him, or giant manticores he tamed.

i think he’d really like kids too, mostly because they’re so easy to impress LMAO

it inflates his ego a little bit whenever one gets really into one of his stories

m = morning (how are mornings spent with them?)

if he wakes up before his s/o, he’d gently pull them into a hug while he waits for them to wake up (sobbing)

morning voice morning voice morning voice morning voice morning v

he memorized how his s/o likes their tea/coffee and will make it really groggily HAHA

n = night (how are nights spent with them?)

okokok hear me out

i think that gundham is a really good singer, so he would 100% sing u to sleep

he’d be embarrassed as hell though LMAOO

he’d probably cuddle them before they fall asleep and talk about each other’s days or just random stuff until they get tired

o = open (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

i think a few months into their friendship? he would talk about his childhood randomly, but would prefer if they don’t make a huge deal about it.

he’d open up more if his s/o did first! he would take it as they trust him enough to talk about it.

p = patience (how easily angered are they?)

it depends on the person! with someone like hiyoko, he can get pissed pretty quickly, but his patience is VERY thick with his s/o. generally, it takes a lot to anger him. 

that being said, if they put themself in danger he would get ticked off out of fear.

q = quizzes (how much would they remember about you? do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

especially in the beginning of their relationship when he was hesitant about physical/verbal affection, he would focus heavily on listening to them. he really wanted to show them that he respects them a lot, and remembering small things they mentioned would convey that well.

r = remember (what is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

after coming out of the shower, he walked in to see them asleep on his couch with the devas curled up on top of their chest. he went to go lay down with them and it just kind of.. hit him. that he wasn’t alone anymore and they loved and were there for him. :( 

s = security (how protective are they? how would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)

he’s very protective!! (especially if you’re in the killing game) the thought of something happening to you is his worst fear. 

t = try (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

ALL THE EFFORT

if his s/o asks him to do something in passing, you BET he’s gonna make sure he does his best

he keeps track of anniversaries/important dates religiously because he’s terrified of accidentally forgetting LMAO

u = ugly (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)

sometimes i think he might come off as cold when embarrassed because his persona is so important to him, but if they expressed being upset he would backtrack SO fast

v = vanity (how concerned are they with their looks?)

not very much?? like, i think he would brag about his hair or something sometimes but he’s always joking LMAO

w = whole (would they feel incomplete without you?)

yes and no? if something ever happened to his s/o, he would feel horribly empty for a time. but i also think that being in a relationship could help him not feel so lonely and teach him better ways to take care of himself, so if they were to ever split he would be able to heal after he got over the initial sadness.

x = xtra (a random headcanon for them.)

he’s a Mitski Understander (TM) his favorite songs are crack baby, pink in the night, and i bet on losing dogs, i’m up for debate

and yes i absolutely will be making a gundham playlist

i don’t know if this counts since i’m 90% projecting, but i hc him as trans and ND so like. solidarity if you are too wink wonk

y = yuck (what are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

a/n - just so everyone knows, i honestly think every character would be fine with any type of person since projecting is so important to a lot of us. these are just my personal headcanons, and if they don’t apply to you please don’t take it personally!! <3

i think he would really want a kind s/o. especially with what he’s been through, someone who’s gentle/patient would mean the world to him

also someone who likes animals!! they mean so much to him and were basically his entire life until he met the others, so having someone who shared that interest would make him so happy

z = zzz (what is a sleep habits of theirs?)

it’s not uncommon for him to sleep with his animals!! he mostly just sleeps with the devas though; he would probably place them near his head or on his chest so he wouldn’t accidentally roll on them.

he also really likes cuddling with his s/o when they sleep! he wouldn’t mind being the big or little spoon, either.

[blu-joons]

DATING TVXQ A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Shim Changmin

A ⇴ AFFECTION 

His height meant Changmin was a great hugger with you. He’d bundle you tightly in his arms and make you feel tiny against his chest. He’d always rest over you and make sure that he emphasised the height difference between you both too.

B ⇴ BEFORE DATING 

You ended up dropping your bag as you were walking one afternoon when a figure knelt down to help pick up your items. When you came face to face with Changmin, your stomach instantly dropped as you were drawn to his smile and his eyes. He quickly introduced yourself as you thanked him for helping you out.

C ⇴ CONFESSION 

It took quite a while for Changmin to feel confident enough to confess to you, he knew he had to be sure that you were happy and willing to take on his crazy world and do it with a smile on your face. He was at an age where if he started a relationship, he was in it for the long run, so it was only when he was sure that he could see a future with you as well, did he finally decide the time was right to confess to you.

D ⇴ DATES 

Changmin’s a huge movie buff, and so many of your dates will often involve films. Some nights the two of you will head to the movies with far too much popcorn in your hands to watch the new release that has just come out. Other times you’ll lay in bed and watch a movie once he comes home from his schedule to help the two of you wind down before bed. But your favourite time with movies is when the two of you have days off, making yourselves comfortable in the living room and having a marathon of all your favourites.

E ⇴ EXPERIENCE 

Being so focused on his career for so many years, Changmin had very little experience when it came to dating, although he loved to tell you about his scandal with Minho all the time. When he first told you about how the media mistook Minho for a girl in his company at Yunho’s solo concert, you definitely saw the funny side. Even now, you often reminded Changmin that he’d made a girl, Minho, very happy before and so there was no doubt in your mind that he was also going to make you a very happy girl too.

F ⇴ FIGHTING 

Changmin is very much like a ticking time bomb when it comes to arguments, he doesn’t get mad often, he’s usually very good at holding his temper and biting his tongue. However, as his frustrations begin to build and his tongue swells from how long he’s bitten down on it, he’ll eventually find himself keeping up a storm and letting go of all of his frustrations. It’s definitely a shock to you when his temper finally blows, but you can only sit back and let him get everything off his chest. Once he’s done, and calm, he’ll apologise of course, and promise to try and keep himself better composed the next time you argue.

G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY 

Introducing you to his two sisters spelt out trouble for Changmin, the three of you often ganged up on him and bonded over all of the stories that you had to share about him. Whilst Changmin loved that you three got on so well, he definitely didn’t enjoy being embarrassed by the three of you time and time again.

H ⇴ HOME 

He was quite keen to move you into his home after a few months in your relationship. Whilst he liked his own space and his apartment, he would never say no to having someone else there to enjoy the space with him. He made several changes to his apartment too to make sure that it felt like your home as well.

I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU” 

Changmin was the first one of the two of you to say, ‘I love you,’ after you surprised him at a TVXQ show. He was overwhelmed to say the least to see you stood before him that the words came from his mouth before he even had chance to think. You were surprised momentarily, before assuring him that you felt the same.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY 

When he was younger Changmin would have probably got jealous, but as he’d got older and matured, jealousy is a feeling he fails to feel anymore. He trusts you and those around you, knowing that you’d never do anything to make him jealous anyway. He’s adult enough too that it he does feel himself getting jealous, then he’ll talk it out with you. There are times when he’s most definitely protective of you, but he definitely wouldn’t stretch as far to say that it’s jealousy, because he knows full well that you can handle yourself too.

K ⇴ KIDS 

Changmin definitely sees himself having a future with you, otherwise he would’ve never started your relationship. Whilst he doesn’t want to rush things too much, he’s open and honest with you about the fact that he sees children in his future. He wants to be the family man, even if he’s an idol, despite the stereotypes around it, he fails to see why he can’t live out both of his dreams and do it to the best of his ability.

L ⇴ LAUGHTER

Whilst he’s not someone loud and outlandish, Changmin still tries to be a big enough character to make sure that the smile is on your face. You know that he’s not someone that feels the need to try desperately hard to be funny, so instead you learn to laugh and love with the many other fascinating qualities that Changmin has instead. You appreciate his kindness and how much he cares for you a lot more than you focus on his ability to make you laugh. Regardless of how funny he may or not be, you always have a smile on your face whenever you’re in his company, and that’s what is most important to you both.

M ⇴ MISSING 

Despite the many years he’s spent touring the world, missing the one that he loves really does take it out of Changmin. He’s someone that doesn’t want others to see him sad, so he’ll often head back to his hotel room whenever he can feel himself beginning to miss you and get through it alone. Yunho had definitely learnt over the years too how to help Changmin deal with the feeling of missing you. Whilst he can often tell when Changmin has been getting teary, he’ll try not to show it, and so Yunho won’t bring it up. He’ll simply try his hardest to make Changmin smile and distract him from you as best as he can.

N ⇴ NICKNAMES

He loves nicknames that he’s heard in the movies, things like ‘darling,’ which are repeated again and again are his favourite nicknames for you. Anything he knows will make you smile is good as far as Changmin is concerned.

O ⇴ OBSESSION 

Changmin is obsessed with your huge heart, he loves feeling loved, but most of all, he loves the kindness and the care that you have for him, always.

P ⇴ PDA 

The biggest thing for Changmin is that you’re safe with him, so his affection in public will usually be to make sure that you feel happy at his side. He’s spent many years in the public eye, he knows how things can be, so no matter the situation, he’s always on top of things and making sure you’re protected under his touch.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS 

He loved to get deep with you and ask you pressing questions of the worlds. He had a lot of thoughts that he’d share with you, but he’d love to hear all of your thoughts too on all of the random things of the world.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS 

You very much ended up as the fourth part of his drinking trio with Minho and Kyuhyun, they loved inviting you out to their drinking events with them and try to get you as drunk as possible. Whilst Changmin would be a little bit more careful, the other two could constantly pass you soju bottles, knowing full well that if you got too drunk that it would be Changmin looking after you and they didn’t have to worry about a thing.

S ⇴ SEX 

The number one priority as far as Changmin is concerned is always you. He’s full of love and passion when it comes to you and making sure that you feel loved by him too. He takes his time with you, he’s never one to rush into anything, paying close attention to small details and little things that he knows you like. If there’s one thing that can be guaranteed with Changmin, it’s that he always leaves you feeling on top of the world.

T ⇴ TEXTS 

He would get in contact with you often, but Changmin much preferred to call than text you. The sound of your voice was comforting, and he could also tell how you were really doing by the tone of your voice rather than just a text.

U ⇴ UNIVERSE 

The thing that Changmin always valued the most from being with you was the support that you always gave him. You never once complained, but instead you were the first one there to cheer him on in anything that he did.

V ⇴ VACATION 

Whenever he went on tour, Changmin always made sure to note down his favourite places so that he could take you there one day and show you around some new cities. So, when he finally got the chance to take you away, he made sure to revisit the places he knew you’d adore and create plenty of memories with you.

W ⇴ WHINING 

Changmin was far too mature to whine if he wanted something, he was patient with you and always obliging to wait for your time.

X ⇴ XXXXX 

His favourite spot to kiss was always against the top of your head, Changmin loved to use his height to his advantage when he was kissing you. If he wasn’t snatching against your forehead, then he’d be leaning down and pressing a kiss against your cheek. He loves making it difficult for you to kiss him, nothing makes him happier than knowing you’re up on your tiptoes just so that you’re at the height to be able to kiss him.

Y ⇴ YOU 

You were his best friend, the one person that he always wanted to be around.

Z ⇴ ZZZ 

Most nights you end up falling asleep listening to Changmin sleep talk beside you. Whilst he’ll often argue otherwise, you lay up and listen closely, making sure to record it when you can so he has no room for argument the following morning when you’re exhausted.

Masterlist

[inactive-shroomiehomie]

SFW Alphabet - Sonny Carisi

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Sonny loves holding you anyway he can. He’s a big physical affection type of guy! Sitting casually in his lap on the couch, Sonny towering behind you with his arms hugging your shoulders from behind. He doesn’t like smooching or being too cuddly in public, but he just can’t stay away from you !

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

It doesn’t matter how long he’s known you, Dominick is a loyal friend. If he goes against you in anyway, he has a pretty damn good reason or it’s for your own good. If you’re in a bad mood, Sonny would come over and cook for you and you two would goof around until he had to go back home or until he passed out on your couch.

You are both night-time law students and you get to arguing over some study case you were both given for an assignment- and you out smart him. He starts laughing in disbelief and offers to buy you a coffee. Then you two are hanging out at the bar after classes, throwing darts and throwing back drinks. 

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

As previously stated, Carisi is a big ol’ snuggler. He’s also a personal heater when it comes to sleeping at night and it can be a blessing on those chilly New York nights.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Sonny + Cooking = ♥

Sonny + Cleaning= :/ (He’s a bit of a germaphobe, but he doesn’t know how to pick up after him self more than he should.)

You’ve talked about it before, and while you both agree bringing children into the world when their Dad would have to see and hear the things he does at work on a daily basis would be horrible, having a kid or two wouldn’t be horrible. Plus, Dominick is so great with children, especially babies. From his own nieces to Rollins’ two girls; He can quiet a screaming child in seconds and it mesmerizes you each time.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Face to Face. If you were committed enough to be in the relationship for however long, you should have the guts to end whatever it is to the other persons’ face.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Sonny would feel horrible anxiety about proposing to you. He definitely wants to be with you until you’re both worm food, but he’s been on the job long enough to see what happens to marriages when someone works this kind of job. But you’re in it for the long haul, and he just has to accept that.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

The human embodiment of a golden retriever is the perfect way to describe Sonny. Loyal, sweet, patient. But if you betray their trust it’s suuuuper hard to get it back.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

When Carisi hugs you, it’s like being bundled up tight for winter, but not suffocating. His chest is firm and comfortable and no matter the hug type, he always draws circles on your lower back, just to make you smile.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

You were actually the first to say it. It was an over-excited slip, but you still meant it 100%. And unbeknownst to know, Carisi wanted to say it week two of knowing you.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

He’s not a jealous of possessive man. The most jealous he’s behaved is whenever he’s in a clingy mood and you’re at work or hanging out with Rollins and Olivia without him. But he’s still very protective of you and watches your back.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Carisi loves to kiss the top of your head or the back of your neck. Nothing weird, just a quick peck. The back-of-your-neck kisses would sometimes release a giggle from you and it would end up with him pinning you down and tickling you ‘til you cried.~

But you love to kiss his cheeks and hands. It’s hard to describe, but wanting to kiss him on the cheek as the same mental effect as a crow wanting to bring a bright, shiny thing back to the nest for it’s mate.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Again, Carisi is an amazing person with children. He’ll make an amazing father one day.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

He’s a morning bird. Always up before you with coffee or sometimes food if he had time. But he always made sure- unless it was urgent business- he would wake you up with a sweet his on the cheek or gently rocking you until you came too.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Unless it’s a day off, you rarely get to see him. (ADA or Detective) But on the nights where he gets home early, you both talk about your days and how they went. Dinner, snuggling on the couch, and sometimes you’ll even show him some of your personal projects you’ve been working on. 

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

Along side being the prefect cook and great  with kids, he’s a chatter box. He doesn’t just blurt out things weird like, “I used to spank it to Opera 24/7.” On the first day or anything. Just threw things into casual conversation or when you asked. But if anyone said something about a good home cooked meal, he wouldn’t shut up about the 5 different foods his mama used to make for hi.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He works for a sex crimes division. You have to do something pretty horrible to beat that. You’ve had your fair share of fights though. Between his Italian blood and whatever you were arguing about, he could be stuck on an argument for longer than you would be.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Maybe golden retriever wasn’t an accurate description of what he was. More so like.... a wiener-dog-chihuahua mix. Dorky, but brain still smart and ticking. R  Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

Yet somehow, he can’t find his damn phone charger.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Sonny knows you can take care of yourself, but being a part of the NYPD, he'a naturally protective. If you need help getting away from a guy Carisi is on you in seconds, flashing his gun and badge.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Carisi spoils you. He's usually the one to cook when you two have time for dinner and there's never not homemade sweets in the house.

But on your anniversaries, Carisi would make you breakfast in bed and the two of you would make sure to take off from work for the day. Lounging and enjoying one another's company until Carisi would send you to the grocery to get dinner supplies and he can have time to decorate the apartment.

Your favorite scented candles, light pink rose petals, soft music. All the beautiful cliche shit that's just so cheesy and sweet enough to make your heart melt.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Your schedules tend to not overlap. So when he gets home or gets ready for work, he will sometimes leave his dirty laundry around the house and his filthy dishes in his sink.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

His hair, yes. Otherwise, Sonny couldn't give two shits what he looked like. And you coupdn't either.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

"Before you I felt like used tea bag. Already fulfilled my purpose with nothing else left. Then you came around and gave me new purpose. Instead of tea, you made me into a bath bomb. Or a soap scrub."

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Not being able to see him in person for a few days at time or before 11:30pm should be something his partner should be able to deal with. And being able to appreciate his friends and family like he does.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Carisi REFUSES to admit, but the backs of his knees are super ticklish. Sometimes when you're cuddling, you "accidentally" brush your feet up against the back of his knee and he practically falls off of the couch spasming. It's the cutest thing.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Carisi would definitely be a sleep talker. He'd also be the person that if you tried to get up without him, he would hold onto you tighter in his sleep. You think he may be awake sometimes when he does that, but Sonny neither denies or admits that to being true.

Love Finds A Way (sequel to "See You Again) {A Harry Hook x Reader story}

Summary: You would think that six months in Auradon would do any villain kid good.  Well, not Hadley.  After the events of the Coronation, Hadley's mood took a downward spiral; and for one reason, guilt.  She'd broken a promise and left her best friend on the Isle of the Lost.  How will she handle seeing him again when certain circumstances bring her back to the Isle? Will she finally tell him what she really feels?  

Five teens lurked in a dark classroom, lit only by the burning light of blue flames flying out from underneath a bubbleing caldron.  Inside the caldron, bright red apples bobbed along it's surface.  A girl with deep blue hair and ruby red lips stired the contents of the caldron with a wooden spoon.  Another girl with hair as bright as the fire that came from underneath them, stired the flames that wrapped from her hands down to the floor.  Two boys, one with long dark brown hair and the other with longish white hair and black roots, pourd more apples into the caldron as the last girl recied lines from an old spell book she held in her hands.

 6 months

6 amazing months have passed since the core five were brought from the Isle of the Lost to Auradon.   The five were praised by many for saving the kingdom after the return of  Maleficent, who now resides  in a tank in Mal and Evie's room,  though some were still skeptical of them. They eventually found their own clubs and activities.  After Ben became King, his kingly duties took up most of his time, he had to drop tourney and his position as Captain of the fencing team. He offered the position to Jay, who gladly accepted, but not with out Carlos by his side.  Mal was thrust into the world of princess-hood as she and Ben announced their relationship.  She didn't have much time to herself any more with all the interviews and press.  Evie and Hadley made their own business creating custom dresses together.  Hadley also found the art club which she quickly rose to the top in with her excelled drawings.  

They'd made even more friends after coronation was over making their group go from five to nine.  Lonnie and Jane became close with the girls and Ruby, daughter of Rapunzel and president of the art club, joined them after witnessing Mal's graffiti and Evie's dress making skills.  Hadley found herself either in her dorm with Ruby, working on art projects, or in Evie's room, making dresses.  Hadley rarely had time to herself, but she was grateful for the distractions.  Whenever Hadley was alone and left to herself, her thoughts always drifted to a certain pirate she left behind on the Isle.  She cried herself to sleep most nights propped up against her window that gave her a near perfect view of the Isle.  She felt guilty for not going back and breaking her promise to return to him.  She'd tried multiple times to talk to Ben about possibly bringing Harry over to Auradon, but every time she tried he was whisked away by someone or something more important. Hadley used any free time she had to think of ways to get back to harry, or even bring him here but nothing seemed to work.  The others grew concerned for Hadley and tried everything they could to cheer her up, but nothing seemed to stop the guilt that was eating away at her heart.

The first few months were hard for all of them.  They had to lay off being evil and learn to be kinder to others and worst of all be good. 

For Hadley, Evie and Carlos, this was not a problem as they were naturally nice, though Hadley still played tricks here and there with her shapeshifting, mainly on Carlos, she didn't do it to cause harm anymore.  Mal and Jay however, had a lot of trouble adjusting to the change. Jay still tried to pick fights with anyone who made fun of them, but was always held back causing more teasing. 

Hadley could see Mal slowly losing her cool day by day after being surrounded nearly non-stop by press and fans.

Hadley took it upon herself to help out her now blonde haired friend. See Hadley may not be the strongest person in Auradon, that title was held for her cousin Hercules, but people are still afraid of fire.  More importantly, people are afraid of people on fire.  

This is where we find Hadley now, coming to Mal's rescue once more.

A/n: Wow! I can not believe that I am posting the first part to the sequel!!! It feels so long since I started writing this series.  If you would like to be tagged for the next part please message me!  you can aslo read the illustrated version of this series over on Wattpad (@phelpsphan)!!    Please comment and like for Part 2!!! <3 <3

"Please, tell us what happened." Lorel blinked her eyes, trying her best to keep them open, but the hospital lights were a little bit too bright for her to fully process. Around her bed stood a crowd of her close friends, those who had worked so hard to find her. Shandy sat at her side, within hugging distance. Lorel laughed a little bit, rubbing at her eyes and trying not to disrupt the IV. "I love you all..." "We love you too, Finchi," said Asteria, leaning down to give Lorel a quick hug with tears in her eyes, despite the fact Lorel had told her over and over again not to cry. She inhaled, and began telling her story. "They had taken me while I was asleep. When I woke up I was tied to a chair, and couldn't use any of my magic. At first, I wasn't worried. I knew I would find a way out eventually. There's been a lot worse in my past than a few ropes. I didn't know who they were but it didn't concern me that much. Of course I was scared, but I wasn't going to let them see that. That would just give them what they wanted. Closing her eyes, she kept talking. "It was dark and cold and lonely, and while that itself didn't really bother me, I was more concerned about what all of you were doing. At one point I figured out how to remove the cloth they had put in between my teeth and looped my arms in distance of my mouth, and I started chewing on the wires. Not the most glorious or cinematic way to escape, but I was out of options. I figured once I had my magic, I could just bust out of here and set the entire building ablaze and reduce it to nothing but a few ashes." "But I was too late." A pause. She shifted in the bed, coughing a little bit. All her external wounds had been healed, but there was still a lot of internal and soul damage that seemed to be beyond simple repair. "When I saw my captor, I started laughing hysterically, but apparently that pissed her off. She had a copy of Shandy and Zen haul me off into this weird looking room, but by that point I was starting to lose consciousness, everything became a blur. I didn't remember anything, maybe it was a gas. Do blockheads breathe? Anyways, they started doing something to my soul. I could move and they left me all alone. I don't remember what it looked like but there was metal everywhere, restraining me. And that's when it started hurting. "It burned unimaginably bad. It felt like water was filling my brain, blacking me out, all my senses were dulling. My chest felt like it was going to explode, and based on what you described, it does sound like a few blood vessels burst. Nothing felt real, my body didn't feel real. There were eyes all over my skin. I started knowing things about the world I didn't know before, I could feel myself coming apart under it all. It kept growing and growing and growing until finally I caught a glimpse of her - the other me. I could see things from her eyes. And I saw all of you below. And something happened. "It was hot. But cold. It was everything but at the same time I didn't even exist. By the time I was lucid, the entire building was rubble. It was burnt to the ground, everything twisted and destroyed beyond repair. I could barely stand up. Every flick of my fingers set something on fire or trapped something in a wall of dry ice. I had no control anymore. I was unstable and volatile. You guys were the only ones who could control it. "So I fled to the place I knew you would check next. I kept my hood drawn - I didn't know who was in on this scheme to keep me contained but I wasn't going to take any chances. During the nights I couldn't sleep. I was almost physically incapable of sleep at that point, so I'd let out all the pent up energy I had repressed that day in the more isolated parts of the woods. Trees would erupt into flames, and where the grass met my feet it would flourish and bloom and grow blossoms and then almost immediately afterwards wither and die. Even my physical form was fluctuating. These were powers I never had in the past, and I felt like a ticking time bomb. I was losing myself. When you all finally found me, I was at my very limits. Any longer and I might have died." The room was dead silent. Lorel thought it was funny apparently and laughed, before rolling over. "I don't like you all staring at me, makes me feel weird about this whole thing. I'm tired now, and I want to take a nap. I'm sad that I won't be able to use any magic for several months, but it's alright. I'll have to start small when I'm able to get up and walk around again. Until then, Shandy and Asteria will be my fluffy blankies." Yawning, she closed her eyes before yanking up the blanket as far as it could go, getting cozy in the covers. "Love you all... I really mean it to. You're my everything..." And with that, she fell asleep again. -------------------- HI I WROTE THIS IN LITERALLY 13 MINUTES SO IT PROBABLY SUX LOL BUT UH YEAH THIS WAS SUPER FUN AND I HOPE WE CAN DO AN RP LIKE THIS AGAIN SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVEN THOUGH I BARELY PARTICIPATED UNTIL THE VERY END IT WAS STILL VERY VERY FUN AND HOPEFULLY THE NEXT RP WILL BE EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST. THIS IS A RLLY DUMB EPILOGUE BUT W H A T E V E R IM GOING TO BE NOW Also I wrote the scene where her soul starts getting amplified based on my own experiences with anesthisia. It got pretty scary once - it was like i was suffocating and my face was filling up my water and im like "HAHA now that ive EXPERIENCED it I can write something along those lines TEN TIMES BETTER" so yes hello im very smooth brained - Lorel

Title: Alphabet Headcanons with Beelzebub

Time Started: 4:25 AM

Time Finished: 5:30 AM

SFW or NSFW?: SFW

Reader insert?: Yes

~

SFW:

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Beelzebub has a strange way of showing you affection. He’ll shower you in snacks and different foods until you cant eat anymore, then wait until you can eat to feed you to the brim again. He’s trying his best ok

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You knew each other from your arrival in Devildom, but your friendship really blossomed when you had to move in with him temporarily. He opened up to you and you respected him a lot for that, especially since you are just a human, no one special. Soon, even after you got your room back, you started hanging out in his room again just to talk with him.

So many movie nights. Only because you want to watch a lot of movies and he just wants popcorn. Secret tips to the kitchen at night, going to Hell’a Kitchen during lunch, all that jazz. He’s obviously a pretty good cook, so if you’re lacking in that department he will surely give you some pointers.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Is pretty open to cuddles but fairly shy about it. Even if he wants a short hug, he’ll give you hand a light squeeze to get your attention, then stare at you with puppy dog eyes and its hard to say no to that. His favorite way to cuddle you is to envelop you in his arms, most of the time picking you up. When spooning, he likes being the big spoon because it makes him feel like he’s protecting you the way he couldn’t for “others.”

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Like I said before. Definitely good at cooking. Give him any recipe and he’ll be able to make it better than what you’d expect. He’s decent at cleaning, but most of the time when he cleans up after himself he’ll just get hungry again from thinking about how the mess was made. He’ll go back to eating right when he’s halfway done cleaning. The cycle continues.

And yes, he does want to get settled down, but not yet. He isn’t ready. He’s already pretty mature but he has a lot of anxiety of not being able to protect the little one good enough. He doesn’t want a repeat of what happened.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Gently but also very straightforward at the same time. Right at the end of the day, because he would want to ruin their mood for the entire day. He’s give them a huge hug first (depending on the reason why he’s breaking up with them) then tell it to them straight up. He’d explain why straight after, apologize, then leave to give them some time to think.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Very loyal. Super super loyal and would do anything for his partner’s sake. Again, he doesn’t want to get married right at the moment, but when he’s older and stronger he’d definitely consider it.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

GENTLE GIANT. Snacks and cuddles always available if you ever need it, just say the word. The average demon is taller than the average human by a long shot, and on top of that Beelzebub is taller than your average demon. He’d carry you wherever you’d want to go, always at your beckon call.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Loves hugs so much. Ive said this a lot before but he really, REALLY likes the feeling of being able to shield you from anything that could potentially harm you. He doesn’t initiate the hugs often. His hugs are very warm and cozy, like sitting in front of a fireplace. But sometimes hug sessions get interrupted from his grumbling belly lol

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Not very fast. He’s scared to get attached too quickly and end up losing you. So he’d wait until it was unbearable to wait any longer. Then he’d probably say it on accident and will be so flustered about it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Not the jealous type! But when he does get jealous its obvious. He’ll eat a little bit less than usual, he’ll look a bit angrier, and it’ll be easier to tick him off.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Collarbone and neck kisses when he’s feeling Intimate, Forehead and cheek kisses for something cuter. Especially likes forehead kisses because it reminds him of his height different between you two. When you share your first kiss, he’ll of course taste like food. But past that, he tastes like peppermint and cherry, quite an addicting flavor if you ask me. He probably keeps multiple packs of gum on him just to make sure his breath is fresh.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

So so protective. Since theyre young, naive, and weak, he’d use that as even more of a reason to protect them from literally anything. Plastic fork? Dangerous. Doll? Dangerous. String? DEFINITELY dangerous.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

When he wakes up he wastes no time in getting ready. If anything he rushes, a lot. Just to get downstairs and eat. But when he isnt rushing, he’d actually lay in his bed for a good 10 minutes before actually getting up. His mornings are kind of slow, when he isnt hingry that is.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Cuddles all through the night. He’ll only let you go if its an absolute emergency. If not, don’t expect to be getting up until his next snack break.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

I said this earlier but he started opening up to you when you had to move in with him. He says everything slowly, because thinking back on those times hurts him a lot. You’ll definitely need to hold him through it, even if its just holding his hand.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Not very easily. He’s also very east to please, too. Just don’t eat his food and everything is good.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

All depends on his relationship with you. When youre starting off as friends, he wont pay any mind to the little things you do. But as your relationship progresses he starts to notice them and honestly he gets a bit flustered by it.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

The first time you cook something for him. It wouldn’t taste the same as anything else he has ever eaten before. He would love it so much that he would beg you to make him food more often.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

Ive already covered this and its kinda nnoying now lmao

And no, he wouldn’t want to be protected. He believes that he is strong enough to protect himself and he doesn’t want to burden anyone.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Tbh not much for dates and gifts and stuff like that. For anniversaries however, he’ll take you out on a date to one of his favorite restaurants, or cook a huge meal for both you and him. He’d eat most of it though.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He eats a lot. And he eats anything that fits his appetite, even if its not actual food. And sometimes when you’re together his hunger will pop up again and he’ll need to eat something before continuing. You don’t blame him, but he feels a bit bad about it.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Not very concerned at all. He’ll occasionally dress up but only if he’s being told to. Other than that, no, he doesn’t really care much about his looks. He just wants to look presentable enough to go out.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Also depends on your relationship with him. If you’re just a friend who he occasionally talks to, then no, he wouldn’t care much about you. But anything past that he would feel like you are becoming more and more part of him.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

idk lmfao

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

In general, he wouldn’t like it if you were sneaky when it comes to food. Please don’t ever steal his food. I’m begging you.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

Cant sleep without holding something. Whether it be a pillow or a person, he needs to hold something while going to sleep. When you came into his life he slowly eased that onto you, starting with just sitting on the bed with you as you slept, then he would lay down with you and drape his arm across you, then after that he’d hold you just like a child would to a teddy bear.

NSFW version coming right after this!

(sorry if theres spelling mistakes lmfao im so tired sorry)

A get-well card

Summary: Lance goes to see Allura for the first time after their battle to save Earth.

Word count: 1,972

Author's note: This story began writing itself in my head when I imagined these scenes happening. Based on these three posts (X,X,X) because those shots of them recovering in their wards warmed my heart. There's also a tiny reference to my only other VLD-related fanfic, "The cold". I had to get this off my chest because I treasure everything these two characters have (be it romantic/platonic love, respect, admiration..). I just really love Allura and Lance so much! Whether they end up together or not, I'm still weak for this (friend)ship, do you hear me? W E A K.

----------x----------

"Do you think she'll like it?" the little girl wondered, holding out the folded piece of paper. She let her tall aunt carefully lift her into her uncle's lap.

"I'm sure she'll love it," Lance said with a loving smile, wrapping his protective arms around his niece. He rubbed his nose into her hair and gave her a kiss on her temple, making her giggle.

"Are we ready to go?" he turned to his big sister, who grabbed the handles of his wheelchair.

"Yes, I think so."

Veronica pushed Lance, together with their little niece, out of his ward and into the long corridor. Their nephew hopped alongside the trio as they slowly made their way to Allura's private ward. The kids had drawn the princess a get-well card and they wanted to present it to her together with their uncle, who knew her a lot better.

Lance's tiny blue eyes grew wide when he could spot two familiar figures standing outside of the ward at the other end of the corridor. They met both Coran, who was twirling his moustache around his finger, and Romelle, sitting on one of the chairs, waiting in silence. Thankfully their expressions weren't full of concern, much rather boredom.

"Hey, Coran! Is everything okay?"

"Oh, good day, Lance! Yes, everything's perfectly alright with the princess. She just fell asleep earlier, so we came out here to give her some peace and quiet. One of the medical workers went in there to check on her progress. I also asked him to reconfigure the machines to consider the normal vital signs of an Altean."

Lance frowned a little bit, staring at the card in his niece's hands.

"Oh.. Can we go in right now? My niece and nephew made something they wanna give to her. Show uncle Coran what you made!" he leaned closer and whispered into her ear. The little girl held the card out to the orange moustache guy. Coran knelt down on one knee to have a closer look.

"Hmm.. and who is this supposed to be?" he wondered curiously, pointing a finger at the round stick figure.

"That's uncle Lance! He's the bravest Blue Paladin out there," the girl declared proudly, making her uncle chuckle for a moment.

"Actually, your uncle Lance is the Red Paladin now. The princess is the new Blue Paladin," Coran corrected her.

"They saw my blue armour, Coran, so they wanted to use the blue crayon. Show him what's inside!" Lance added in a whisper. His niece opened the card and let Coran read the text. When he claimed that he didn't understand the letters they'd used, she read it out loud. His purple eyes began to glisten and they could tell that he was wearing a warm smile underneath that moustache.

"Well, if that isn't sweet.. Okay, you four can go in. Just be sure to keep really quiet. The princess needs her rest."

"Thanks, Coran! We promise.. C'mon, you two! You heard what uncle Coran said!" Lance said in a hushed tone, patting his nephew's back as Veronica pushed his wheelchair closer to the door.

The door opened automatically and the quartet entered quietly. A doctor was busy reconfiguring the monitors, exactly like Coran had said. Lance's nephew scampered to the other side of the bed and grabbed the side rail, staring at the sleeping princess.

"She's so pretty!" he whispered to the rest of his family. Lance noticed how the mice squeaked a little and hopped up on the empty table that served as a nursing trolley, where medical supplies were usually scattered. They were keeping an eye on Allura so that nobody would hurt her.

Veronica pushed the wheelchair to the same side of the bed, then stooped to whisper into her little brother's ear.

"I'll be right outside if you need me. Call me when you're ready to go back to your ward."

"Will do, sis!" Lance answered in a hush, then averted his gaze towards the princess, a warm smile decorating his lips.

"I'll leave you to it, lover boy!"

He gritted his teeth and glared at her for a moment. She stifled her giggling by holding a hand in front of her mouth as she exited the ward.

Lance forgot about his big sister's teasing and focused on the doctor who was examining Allura instead. He ran a scanner over her forehead to take her temperature. He wrote the reading onto the tablet in his hands, which had replaced the old clipboards decades ago. Lance saw how the information immediately appeared on screen on the wall above her bed, right beside her other vital signs.

Next, the doctor softly pressed a modern stethoscope on her bare chest to listen to her heartbeat, reaching up a hand to reconfigure the settings of the machine so it'd consider her thrice as fast rate normal. Lance grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, feeling her "normal" pulse near her wrist thumping against his fingertips. Three beats in a tick, he remembered Pidge telling him once. Despite the rapid pace her heart was beating in, her breathing was calm like a human being's. She seemed so tranquil when she was asleep.

Soon the doctor finished the examination and left them alone with the princess, updating her advisor and fellow Altean about her progress on his way out. At least that's what Lance guessed they were talking about, judging by the voices he heard outside of the ward.

"Is she your girlfriend?" his niece asked. He blushed a little and scratched the back of his head. Even he wasn't sure at this point.

"Well, she is a girl and she's also my friend.."

"Is she gonna be okay?" his niece asked again.

"Of course she is, just like the rest of us.. Oh, shh!" Lance hushed his niece and nephew when he heard the princess mumble. He saw how she wiggled her pointy ears, as if she was trying to listen to the noises around her, and then, her sparkling blue eyes trembled open. A small smile formed on her lips when she met the eyes of the familiar figure.

"Lance.. you're here," she murmured, her voice still a bit hoarse. She felt how his thumb tenderly caressed her fingers. Her pretty blue eyes grew wider and she smiled fondly when she noticed the two little ones by his side.

"And you brought your family."

"Uncle Lance told us so much about you. Here, we made you this!" his nephew said, grabbing the card from his baby sister and handing it to the princess. Allura released Lance's hand and took the card in her own, propping herself up a bit higher. First she checked out the cute sketch on the cover, glancing at Lance when she figured out that it was him, and then opened the card to read it. She grimaced a little bit.

"I'm so sorry, but it seems that I can't read these words. I simply haven't had enough time learn the Earth language. Would you be a dear and read this to me?" Allura asked and handed the card back to Lance's niece, who did as she requested.

"Feel better soon, Allura!" the little girl read the biggest sentence out loud. Then her eyes trailed over the list of names in the lower right corner, who were wishing her a speedy recovery.

Lance's name was in red and the first one, followed by the authors of the card, namely his niece and nephew, as well as the rest of his family. The Paladins' signatures were right below theirs. The little girl showed that they'd written their names using crayons that represented their respective colours - dark purple for both Shiro and Keith, golden yellow for Hunk, forest green for Pidge. She'd written the princess's name in pink, according to her armour.

Allura didn't know what to say. She simply gazed at Lance and his siblings and grinned at the three of them.

"This is really sweet of you all. Thank you!"

She reached out her hand to pat his nephew's head. She called the mice on her bed and let them place the card on the empty table. The kids hadn't noticed the tiny critters before.

"Aww, what cute little mice!" the girl squealed and held out a hand to touch them, but she couldn't reach them. Lance helped his niece out by nudging his wheelchair closer and laying his own hand on the table so Chuchule can climb on.

"Yes, they're Altean mice. We have a special bond that allows me to communicate with them," Allura clarified, watching how Lance's niece softly petted the pink mouse.

"Cool! How does it work?" his nephew wondered. The princess merely giggled, then closed her eyes and thought of something to do. Plachu and Chulatt jumped onto the bed, climbed on her left shoulder and began braiding a thick lock of her long white hair. The boy's mouth fell wide open.

"Wow! How'd you do that?"

Allura opened her eyes and looked at him.

"I telepathically asked them to come and braid my hair."

"It means that she thought of what she'd like the mice to do, and since they could hear her thoughts, they started doing exactly what she asked them to do," Lance explained using simpler words. The kids were in awe. His nephew watched how the two blue mice continued styling the princess's hair whilst his niece tickled the pink mouse's tummy, making it squeak with joy. The sensation that carried over to Allura thanks to her mental link with Chuchule made her giggle, too.

"I didn't get to ask before, but.. How are you feeling?"

Lance furrowed his brows, a smile remaining on his lips as he slid his hand on top of Allura's and gave it another squeeze. She looked at it whilst lacing their fingers together.

"A bit tired, but otherwise I feel good. Blue really saved me from the worst."

"Of course she did. Just like Red saved me.."

There was a moment of silence before Lance spoke again.

"I was afraid that this was going to be her.. err, your.. our last battle together. But Shiro was right. The Lions really are stronger than we thought. Thanks for taking such good care of her."

"Anything for you, Lance."

Allura's smile turned upside down when she saw Lance looking at the door like he wanted to leave already. She held onto their entwined hands as she sat upright to stop him from calling Veronica.

"Wait! Come here.."

He looked at her questioningly, but pushed his wheelchair a bit closer to her bed. She leaned forward, her eyes half-lidded, hesitating for a second before she cupped his chin with her free hand and pressed a tender kiss on his cheek. When Allura pulled away to lie back down in bed, they were both blushing.

"Thank you, for inspiring all of us to continue fighting. When I saw you charge Red at one of the six Zaiforge Cannons after the reflectors broke, I knew Blue and I had to follow your lead and do the same to save your home planet."

Lance rubbed at his flushed cheek and grinned.

"Uhh, thanks, Allura!"

"So she is your girlfriend!" his nephew exclaimed happily, bouncing around the hospital bed whilst his niece began giggling.

Lance averted his gaze to the floor and attempted to hide his embarrassment. He lightened up when Chuchule started squeaking as she ran out of his niece's hand and onto his palm. He lifted the pink mouse to his face and let her rub her soft furry cheek against his own, making him laugh in return. He gazed into Allura's sparkling blue eyes and returned her smile when she grabbed his free hand and gave it a squeeze.

Avengers x Female Reader

Chapter 1: Origin

Summary: The origin story for Y/n, a soon to be avenger. When a fight involving the avengers was the last thing you were expected to encounter on your walk back to your apartment one day.

Also, like I said in my last post, in my head this was going to end up being like Reader x Bucky but in a future scene I wrote out earlier it came together as a really cute Reader x Steve??? So if anyone has any opinions on this lmk like should I pick one, or try to do a love triangle type thing? w/e enjoy! Or don’t I can’t force you to feel anything!

Chapter 2   Chapter 3

New York City was no stranger to Avenger intervention. It was only a few short years ago that the they first assembled to save the world, in effect trashing the city as a whole. And while many New Yorkers still held a grudge about the widespread destruction that resulted, when chaos struck, there was no one else anyone would rather have around.

 You were only a few minutes from your apartment when you heard people start screaming at the end of the block. You stopped in your tracks and pulled your earbuds out of your ear as a wave of people rushed towards you and away from something; it was practically a stampede. The fight or flight in you told you to follow the crowd and run screaming in the opposite direction, but there was a curious part of you that wanted to see what was happening for yourself. You stuffed your phone and headphones in your pocket and began to push through the crowd. Swimming upstream was hard enough without being shoved and elbowed, but soon enough you broke through the end of the mob to see the rest of the street was almost completely open. Almost. About 100 feet from you 7 guys in all black facing away from you were fighting 3 people whose faces you couldn’t see, two guys and a girl. Like intense fighting. You could see that one of the guys in black had something in his back pack that was glowing through the fabric. You made out that one of the three was dressed strangely, like in a morphsuit, and then wait, did the girl just… and did the guy on the left just… it can’t be the --

 Before you could finish your thought, your eyes landed on something halfway between you and the people fighting. It was a little boy standing on the sidewalk crying, he must have lost his family in the chaos. He could only be about three or four and looked like he was too scared to move on his own. It’s not like you were the everyday hero type, but you couldn’t just leave the kid there.

 Sticking close to the buildings on your left, you made your way over to the boy. There were random objects and debris all over the street from the panic a few minutes earlier, so you head to weave and climb your way over. After a bit of struggle, you finally reached him and kneeled down to try to console him. His crying eased but he still gave a few quiet sobs. “Hi buddy it’s okay, it’s gonna be okay,” you lightly placed your hands on the sides of his arms. “Do you know were your mom or dad went?” The boy wiped his cheek and pointed in the direction the crowd left. Another loud yell caught your attention, except this time it was coming from the direction of the fight. Now that you were closer you had a better view. There were two guys in black knocked out on the ground, maybe dead! That wasn’t really any of your business. The source of the yelling was another one of the guys in black – he was floating a couple feet in the air. Down on the ground you saw a girl with a reddish cloud coming from her hands presumably levitating him. She looked vaguely familiar, like you might have seen her on the news. And though you weren’t sure of her name, the way she was suspending this guy in the air, you were pretty sure she was in the Avengers. Your eyes darted to the right of her; is that Captain fucking America who just knocked that other guy out? Something on the left caught your attention; a guy in a red and blue full body suit swung off a building and tied a guy up with what looked like webbing of some sort. You’d seen him before, but you had no idea he was in with the Avengers. He was spider something, the spider, Spiderman? That left only two of the bad guys to go. Captain America grabbed the glowing thing out of the guy he’d knocked out’s bag and ran a couple feet away from the fighting to examine it while the other two held off the remaining bad guys. Something flying overhead caught your eye. Hold on, was that Iron Man? This really was the Avengers.

 You shook yourself back into reality and refocused on this kid who desperately needed saving. You picked him up and tried to make your way back where you came from through the rubble. You’d only taken a few steps when you saw a woman come running towards you crying. The boy reached out towards her and called for her. You glanced back at Captain America; you were now close enough that you could hear him speaking into an earpiece while picking around at wires connected to the glowing box. “Tony, I’ve been able to shrink the blast radius and for the most part disarm the bomb, but I haven’t been able to stabilize it and I can’t get the timer to stop.” You didn’t have time to be concerned. You continued climbing through the debris and heard him talking into his earphone again from behind you, “How do we know it won’t be harmful? Even if it won’t physically blow something up we don’t know what it’s capable of”.

 You finally reached the woman at the middle of the street at a fallen piece of a building that was now blocking the entire street. It was low enough that you could pass the boy over it, but you would need a running start or a boost to get over it yourself. “Thank you so much, I don’t know how to thank you,” his mother said as you lifted the boy over the rubble into her arms. “We got separated with all the craziness and then I couldn’t get through all the people” she said through tears of relief. “I was only doing what anybody would do,” you assured once he was safely across. “Now you should get out of here. I can manage getting across myself.” The woman nodded her head and backed away. “Thank you, truly.” She turned and ran.

 You looked side to side along the piece of the barricaded street to find a place that you would be able to climb over and ran a couple feet to your left. You decided to take one final look back at Captain America and the Avengers. You looked over your shoulder and before you knew what was happening you were being dragged away from the barricade.

 The guy held you around your neck and shoulders and pressed a gun to your temple. You had your feet on the ground, but he was holding you at an angle where you couldn’t stand. You managed to look up and see it was one of the guys in black. “Drop the device.” He threatened, “Or else.” Captain America put the glowing thing down and sat back on his feet with his hands up. The only other remaining bad guy grabbed the device from in front of cap and joined the guy who was currently holding a gun to your head. The Avenger girl and the Spiderman guy ran up behind Captain America panting. It was a stand-off.

 Needless to say, this was not where you thought this day was going to end up when you woke up this morning.

 “Back away, and the girl will be fine,” the guy holding the device said.” That’s when two shots came and struck the guys in black out of the blue, like literally, out of the sky.” You fell onto your hands and knees and looked up to see the one and only Iron Man land next to the other avengers who were still about 30 feet away from you. In a semi-robotic voice from inside the suit you heard him say “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”. A majorly cool line, but you didn’t really have time to appreciate it.

 *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

 You looked at the glowing device still a few feet away from you and saw it was ticking down the final seconds until detonation. The avengers must have heard it too. One of them yelled “RUN!”

 Without thinking you took off in the opposite direction of the device. You saw the Spiderman shoot his web at it and the girl use whatever powers she had to try and get it away from you, but it was too late. A second later with a boom you were blasted back and hit the broken building in the middle of the street. You were lying on the ground, but you felt pretty much okay, you didn’t feel like you’d been seriously injured or affected in any way. You pushed your hair out of your face and looked up to see the girl was rushing over to you. The blast must have knocked one of the guys into the other because they were both on the ground. While they were on the ground though, they were in about the same place that they were before, so you gathered they weren’t thrown back like you were.  You looked around, Iron Man was gone.

 “Are you okay?” she asked kneeling in front of you. She had brown hair, a whisper of an eastern European accent, and looked around your age, maybe a little younger. You shook your head and nodded at the same time, mostly just in shock at this turn of events. “Yeah I’m, I’m fine. I think I’m fine.”

 “Steve only had time to shrink the blast radius to about 15 or 20 feet, so we were just out of reach, but you felt the full force. That’s why you were thrown back so far”. She pressed her earpiece into her ear and stopped talking, seemingly to hear someone talking to her. After a moment she nodded her head and refaced you. “Tony says that he scanned your vitals and you should be fine. No broken bones, no concussion, just a sprained wrist and some bruises.”

 “Tony Stark?” Your eyes practically popped out of your head. The girl nodded “He’ll be back, he’s making sure the explosion was contained to this block”. Billionaire, dreamboat Tony Stark had done a scan on your body. How much could he see? Should I even be thinking about this right now? No, I’m sure I shouldn’t, and yet…

 She offered you her hand and pulled you off the ground. “I’m Wanda by the way,” she said.

 You started “I’m –” but got cut off when Captain America and Spiderman ran over.

 You’d obviously seen pictures and videos of Steve Rogers before, hell, you even did a presentation on him once in middle school, but none of that could have told you about how utterly, downright handsome this man was in the flesh. “Wanda, is she okay?” He asked looking from you to her. The reason he probably hadn’t asked you himself was because your eyes were so wide from seeing him up-close and personal that you looked like you were in shock. Which you kind of were, but more of an attractive-man/avengers-shock than anything else.

 “She’s alright.”

 Captain America nodded his head and Iron Man (fucking Iron Man!) landed next to you. You gasped a little bit out of surprise but the other three seemed unphased by his falling out of the sky. Cap stuck his hand out towards you to shake.

 “I’m Steve.”

 You reached towards him, “I’m –” a reddish cloud came out from your hand just before it met his and he was thrown down the street, landing on his stomach. Steve groaned and pushed himself up to his elbows.

 For a moment nobody said anything. They looked from you to Captain America and back to you. You look down at your hands. You were just as shocked as they were. No, you were certainly more shocked.

 Iron Man points to Wanda, “I thought that was your thing?”

 “It looked like it was my thing, but it wasn’t me, I swear.”

 “What are there two of them?” Spiderman muffled through his mask throwing his hands up.

 Everyone turned to look at you. Cap walked back over, his hair slightly messier. You shook your head with wide eyes, “I swear that’s never happened before”. They all stayed silent for another moment.

 “Well,” Iron Man broke the silence, “She obviously has to come back with us.”

 Cap turned to him, “Hold on Tony, we don’t know what this situation was, we don’t know who these guys are. We’re lucky we were even around in the first place. This could be out of our jurisdiction.”

 Spiderman raised his hand, “Are we even sure we have a jurisdiction?”

 “Maybe we should take her to a hospital,” he continued.

 Iron Man shook his head, (or his helmet I guess). “Cap, she’s perfectly healthy, physically. A hospital would be completely useless. Whatever that was,” he said motioning to your hands, “Came from that glowstick on steroids. When someone can throw someone 15 feet in the air without touching them, that is very much in our jurisdiction.”

 Cap nodded his head realizing Tony was probably right. “Right. Now that all of that’s settled,” Tony Stark turned to you, “Are you ready to go to the Avengers facility?” You were more than a little thrown off. The avengers facility? That was like the Batcave, the inner sanctum. Should you just leave everything and go? Did you even have a choice? You didn’t like your job that much, you didn’t like your roommate that much, so what did you have to lose? “I’m in.”

 “Great! Now you four are all going to have to be quarantined until we figure out what’s wrong with this young lady, and if it affected the rest of you, you know, with your standing here right now”.

 “Hang on, what do you mean ‘you four’, what about you?” Wanda protested.

 “You may or may not have noticed, miss teenage drama queen, but I happen to be in an airtight suit with a filtration system. Nothing gets in here but pristine air” Tony boasted.

 “What about me?” Spiderman chimed in. “You designed my suit; did you give me a filtration system?”

 “No, that thing’s mostly polyester. Anyway, since you three were out of the blast radius I don’t think it should have affected you in the same way. I mean you two can’t make things fly with your hands, can you?” he said pointing to Spiderman and Cap. “Peter?”

 Spiderman – Peter, sighed and made an intensely half-hearted effort to mimic the hand motions you had seen Wanda doing earlier during the fight. You had to admit, it made him look pretty stupid, but nothing happened. “Yeah that’s what I figured. Super glad I got to see that though”. He leaned down and picked up the device. “F.R.I.D.A.Y.  just called four self-driving cars to bring you guys back upstate, and she let the police know to block off this street just in case it ends up being toxic or something.” You looked over at the others to see if they were as troubled by that statement as you were, and with the exception of Peter (who even through a mask you could tell had eyes nearly popping out of his head), they looked more inconvenienced and annoyed at Tony than anything. “I wouldn’t give it too much thought. So, I’m gonna fly back because I can fly, and I guess I’ll meet you all there”.

 Wanda rolled her eyes, “ You know you’re not the only Avenger who can fly, Tony.”

 “I don’t know, yours is more levitating. You can’t do distance. It’s sad.”

 “Suck it Tony”

 “Wow, she’s really catching on to American slang. ‘Suck it’, that’s really something. You teaching her this Parker?”

 Steve turned to you once more, “What did you say your name was again?”

 You let out a small laugh, “I actually didn’t get to say. I’m Y/n”.

[all-the-cliches-lwa]

So, I played @musician15painter‘s game to take those 9 Dianakko doodles, order them, and then try to tell the story behind them... and I decided that if I was going to play the game and think up the story I may as well try to write the story... and then it got out of hand and hit almost 9000 words... -cough-

They suggested I make it public, and with the game over (and wow was I off LOL) I decided now was the time to do so.

The numbers are in the sections that have the corresponding piece of fanart. It was honestly a whole lot of fun writing this (considering the whole puzzle game aspect, even given how different it is) and I hope you enjoy reading this.

Should totally check the actual answer here btw ahhhhhhhhh.

I’m not sure about summaries, but if I had to come up with something, it starts with one overnight cram session that would inevitably lead to so much more.

Edit: Fanfic.net link here (note, tweaks have been made to both ff.net and here, nothing major though. just correcting a few typos i noticed upon switching) I made it part of distractions cause oh boy did this distract me LOL: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12593389/7/Distractions

"I… I think that's enough studying," Hannah said as she stretched high up into the air, "We should be ready for midterms tomorrow right Barbara?"

"Yeah, probably," Barbara agreed, "We've been in the library for quite some time. I think we'll do just fine."

"And you two are sure you are prepared enough for tomorrow's exam?" Diana asked from across the table. "I would hope that my teammates are in top form."

"We'll be totally fine Diana!" Hannah answered.

"Yeah!" Barbara continued. "After all, who wouldn't be ready after all of the help you were giving us."

Diana smiled seeing Hannah nod in agreement.

"Very well then, I suppose we may retire for the day," Diana said.

With a wave of her wand, Diana quickly returned all of the books the three of them had been using whilst in the library, save for one, which Diana had been reading for leisure towards the end of their study session and was planning to continue reading before bed. Hannah and Barbara had already begun packing up their own belongings, piles of papers shrinking and disappearing into a small pouch.

"Thanks so much for helping us again, Diana!"  Barbara said, having already gotten off of her chair and offering a hand to Hannah.

"Yeah! Like, it was such a huge help." Hannah echoed.

The couple walked around to Diana and offered a hand to the heiress, and Diana happily took it.

She then led them out of the library, but not before spotting a familiar brunette topknot drooping sideways, its owner seemingly asleep. Diana also noticed quite a few books had been scattered along the floor around the girl.

It appeared Akko had had a similar idea as they did… though her execution was clearly lacking.

And as they continued to walk towards the exit, Diana's head slowly turned so that her eyes could remain fixated on Akko. Diana even got a glimpse of Akko's adorable face, those round cheeks pressed ever so slightly against the wooden table... the smallest trail of drool dripping from the corner of the girl's mouth leading to a tiny puddle.

Diana couldn't help the way her eyes had focused on the sleeping girl. After all, she had known for years that she was quite infatuated with Akko.

Diana began to feel the faintest blush on her cheeks as she continued to watch the girl sleep. She clutched onto the book she had borrowed ever more tightly against her chest, her heart beginning to tick just a little bit faster.

"Tsk, what does she think she's doing?" Hannah said, her tone clearly unimpressed. "She's never going to pass tomorrow if she just, like, falls asleep."

"… That is certainly true." Diana muttered to herself.

It was around eleven.

Diana could hear the soft snores from her roommates, signaling that they were asleep.

However, just to be sure, Diana slowly inched her head past the corner of her bookshelf. When she saw Hannah and Barbara tucked into their beds, Diana let out a sigh of relief.

Quietly, Diana tiptoed her way across the room and then, very carefully, opened her door. She then closed it with similar caution and cast a spell to lock it.

Diana knew she was breaking curfew doing this. She could, potentially, get into a lot of trouble should she be caught, though she knew she was more likely to be let off with a simple warning, given it would be her first offense.

Still, a blemish on a flawless record.

That being said, there was a much more pressing matter to attend to, that being… Akko.

If Akko was sleeping deeply enough to have drooled so much onto the table… there was a chance that she might still be asleep there now.

And knowing Akko's own tendencies to be caught in compromising circumstances, it was likely more a certainty than a simple chance.

Having memorized the patrol schedule, Diana easily avoided all night patrol members on her way. The moment Diana entered the dark room, she sighed.

Akko was still sleeping, not having moved an inch since she and her team had left hours ago. The witch’s mouth opened and closed as she snored, and the earlier puddle of drool had begun to drip off from the edge of the table. 

Diana almost laughed, shaking her head in amusement as she continued to watch drips of drool fall off the table.

… The fact that Diana found that trail of drool more endearing than disgusting worried her.

Diana quickly shook that thought away, the very idea causing heat to rise up her face in embarrassment.

Her helpless crush aside, Diana knew that Akko really shouldn't continue to sleep here. So, she walked up to Akko and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Akko, wake up," Diana called out as she gently shook the girl.

"Five more minuuutes," Akko groaned sleepily.

Diana continued, undeterred, especially when Akko had begun giving her an annoyed pout.

Diana knew if she stopped now, that pout would never let her try again.

Fortunately, Diana's efforts seemed to work. Although it actually took five minutes, Akko seemed to be waking up.

Diana  noticed that, as she continued to shake the witch, Akko began to shift on her own, her sleepy groans growing louder and louder until finally.

"Fine! Fine! I'm up. I'm up!" Akko exclaimed as she blinked her eyes open. "Wh-where am I? … And what's…EW! Gross!"

Diana watched in amusement as Akko desperately wiped off the puddle of her drool from the table and off of her face. When Akko fell off of her chair to see her drool had gotten on some of the books, Diana couldn't stop the giggles from escaping her lips.

"Di-Diana?!" Akko yelped, a red tinge invading her face. "What, What are you doing here?!"

"I am simply making sure that you have woken up," Diana answered through her giggles. "After all, curfew had ended a while ago."

"O-oh," Akko muttered, eyes turning down towards the books on the floor, "I guess that's tr- wait." Akko froze and her eyes began to widen. She looked up towards Diana, and Diana could swear there seemed to be something akin to… fear?

"Akko… is something concerning you?" Diana asked tentatively.

"Y-you said it was past curfew right?"

"That is corre-"

"NO! No no no! It can't be!" Akko yelled, grasping at her head, flailing towards the books on the ground. "No no, I'm soooo in trouble oh no."

Diana's eyes widened as she watched Akko scramble around.

"Akko? What's wro-"

"Oh no, what am I gonna do. There's no time. This makes no sense. How do I do this?!"

Diana tried to get Akko's attention politely. She tried calling her attention nicely.

She tried reaching out, only to be pushed aside by the flailing of Akko's arms desperately turning the pages of four books at once.

However, when she saw the tiniest tear drop from Akko's eyes, Diana knew she had had enough of her gentle approach.

"Akko!" Diana yelled, putting as much authority into her voice as possible.

"E-eh?" Akko flinched, instantly turning towards Diana.

"Would you please just… calm down?" Diana said, placing her hand on Akko's shoulder. When Akko nodded, Diana smiled and sat down beside her. "Now tell me... what is it that is bothering you?"

"I'm not ready!" Akko yelped, her eyes shifting between the books and Diana.

Diana looked towards the table to see the textbooks for… all of their classes. She then looked back towards Akko and saw the downtrodden look on her face. Her lower lip was jutted out, and a small whimper escaped her throat.

"You know…" Diana said with a sigh, "I could help you."

Instantly Akko's eyes brightened, only to darken once again.

Seeing the light leave those red eyes almost physically hurt.

"B-but it's late Diana…" Akko whimpered. "I w-wouldn't want to keep y-"

"Nonsense," Diana interrupted, raising Akko's face so that they were looking eye to eye. "I would not have made the offer had I not wished to help you, and I will always wish to help you Akko."

"B-but."

"No buts Akko," Diana said. "Unless that 'but' is either sitting on this chair and studying or is followed by a declination of my offer."

Diana watched as Akko bit her lip.

Diana sucked in a breath, almost fearing the idea that Akko would leave her offer unaccepted.

Thankfully, the fear was unjustified.

"So… where should we begin?" Akko asked, a soft smile of gratitude on her face.

Diana released her breath and returned the smile. "Perhaps we should begin with Magical Linguistics. Professor Finnelan does appear to be the class you struggle most in."

"Oh thank god!" Akko sighed in relief, "I was scared we'd leave that for last."

Diana reached out for the linguistics book just across the table, ready to help Akko as much as was possible.

"So wait, Diana?"

"Yes Akko?"

"What does this rune mean?" Akko asked, stretching out to reach for the corner of a page. "The one with a dragon."

Diana looked towards Akko's finger and sighed.

"… That is not a dragon Akko. That is a-"

"Are you sure? Cause that looks a lot like a dragon. See! It even has fire coming out of its mouth"

"Akko… that is no-"

"Oh look! It even has wings!"

"AKKO!"

#2

Six hours later, and Diana and Akko had somehow managed to find themselves seated on the lone lounge chair in the library.

Diana had made some excuse about not wasting the energy it took to light up her wand, what with the chair being right next to an already lit candle, but really she just wanted to sit on something more comfortable than the wooden library chairs. Akko quickly followed and sat right beside Diana.

Thanks in equal parts to her determination to aid Akko and to her sleep addled mind failing to register... anything, Diana had managed to stray away from the flustered mess she usually would be in this situation. Being flustered would have meant having to separate, and it really was for the best they be so close together.

After all, this way, if one of them had begun to fall asleep, the other could immediately notice it and wake the other up.

The plan seemed flawless… until they both fell asleep at the same time, their fatigue finally catching up to them.

Luckily, the both of them had managed to study through all of the relevant material, the only thing left  being to take practice tests that Diana had been planning to administer.

But alas, sleep had overtaken the both of them.  

Akko slumped onto Diana, and in the fog of her weary mind, reached out to hug the softest thing within reach.

Diana, feeling something warm wrap around her waist, raised her left arm to rest it atop whatever was holding onto her and exerted the slightest bit of pressure to hold the warmth closer to her.

When the sun rose up a few short hours later, a singular ray of light shined onto Diana's face.

Diana's face scrunched up, her eyes shut tight, in the futile effort to block out the offending ray of light. When she tried to turn, however, she found herself held firmly in place by something around her waist.

Slowly, Diana blinked awake, and the sight she was met with made her heart race.

It appeared Akko had been hugging her waist… if she were to be so bold, Diana might have also described the gesture as protective.

Diana was frozen, unable to move as she listened to the sounds of Akko's deep breaths. She was entranced by the relaxed smile on Akko's face… and she was nearly overwhelmed by the soft warmth given off from Akko's hold. Everything Akko did was making her face fill with warmth and her heart race so quickly, Diana was afraid it could give out at any moment.

The spell was quickly broken, however, by the indistinct sounds of chattering from outside the library, and now, Diana's heart began to race for an entirely different reason. She quickly turned to the wall on the clock, and her fears were slowly turning into a reality.

They had just twenty minutes to get to class.

"Akko! Akko wake up!" Diana said, shaking Akko awake. In response, Akko shook her head and held tighter onto Diana's waist, as if it was the most precious object in the entire world.

Given other circumstances… Diana would likely allow her to continue. She couldn't deny that she adored Akko's tight embrace, and in any other circumstance, she would have gladly returned the embrace.

Unfortunately, they had midterms in the next twenty minutes, and Diana was not going to allow her grades to falter, simply because the girl she'd been pining after for years had desired to keep her locked in place with a tight, warm, soft embr-

Okay, she wasn't going to allow Akko's grades to falter even more because the girl insisted on staying like this.

Reluctantly, Diana continued to shake Akko until the girl finally began to wake up.

Just as Diana had, Akko had blinked herself awake, slowly growing aware of her surroundings. And when she realized the soft object she had been holding onto for dear life just so happened to be Diana…

Color invaded Akko’s face, rivaling the red of her sash.

Akko instantly backed away, sputtering dozens of rapid apologies, but Diana stopped her, citing their desperate lack of time.

Akko turned towards the clock, and her eyes widened in fear. 

Instantly, Akko jumped off of the chair, grabbed Diana's hand, and, immediately, the both of them were sprinting off towards Professor's Finnelan's class.

One day and four tests later, Akko jumped for joy. The tests were done, and she was pretty sure she had done far better than she had ever done before.

When the results were revealed a week later, Akko's cheer doubled, learning that she had somehow managed to break into the top ten. She was so overjoyed when she learned the results, she had jumped out of her seat in class and tackled Diana in a tight embrace, bumbling her thanks. Diana simply smiled and raised a hand up to brush Akko's hair.

Unfortunately, the moment couldn't last.

There were a few witches who were displeased. One witch, in particular, was absolutely livid, seeing as Akko had knocked her out of her own slot in the top ten. She was in the minority, yes, but it was a fairly powerful one: An heiress of another noble family, a lesser one than the Cavendish, but a noble family all the same, and her cronies.

Throughout the next day, when they were sure Diana was not around, they made life far more difficult for Akko.

During potions, they had snuck in a few extra ingredients into Akko's teams’ mixture, causing an explosion to burst from the cauldron. During flight class, they hexed Akko's broom, causing it to spiral out of control whenever Akko had gotten on top of it.

And while the professors didn't get mad at her, they did have this resigned smile on their face whenever Akko tried to explain that it wasn't her fault. How she didn't even do anything. It was as if they didn't believe her, that it was just something that they accepted would always happen, and that resignation hurt many times more than what their anger would have.

But it didn't stop there. 

During lunch, seeing as Diana wouldn’t be around, they had made sure of that, they charmed Akko's tray, causing all the food to splat on her face.

After everything that happened to her throughout the day, Akko just stared dimly at the table, a stinging in her eyes.

She balled her fists atop her lap and clenched her jaw, trying to hold back her tears.

Amanda had immediately stood up and yelled, threatening to go after whoever was doing this. Everyone else took the more subtle approach, making sure Akko was okay.

But Akko had had enough.

She was one moment away from breaking down. And she knew it.

She really didn't want to fall apart in front of the others. Her friends had seen her sad and crying before… but never in the same way she felt now. Well most of them, anyway.

Not knowing where else to turn to, Akko walked towards the one person who had already previously seen her at her lowest point.

#6

Diana leaned back on her chair, tired.

Diana was used to being needed. People always came to ask for her help for many things, both simple and complicated. 

Of course, Diana would always do her best to help.

But today? Today she was absolutely swamped with requests. It was as if, at every turn, there was some sort of request to be fulfilled or some crisis that she needed to solve.

Now in her room, Diana was relieved, finally having time to relax to herself.

But that was when she heard a soft knock against her door.

Diana sighed and slowly began to lift off of her chair, wondering just who could it be this ti-

"D-Diana? Are you there?"

When Diana heard the voice call her, she instantly jumped off of her seat and rushed to the door. She knew that was Akko's voice… but it sounded so… so sad.

In an instant, she opened her door, and her heart broke.

Akko stood there, her eyes red and her cheeks damp. The bright light in those eyes were nowhere to be seen, dulled as they stared at the ground.

"A-Akko?" Diana whispered, her arm instantly reaching out towards Akko. "Akko? What happened?"

When Akko didn't answer, Diana felt her stomach coil. It was sickening to  see Akko so sad. So nearly broken.

Diana moved forward and reached out to the brunette by her doorstep. She wrapped Akko in a tight embrace and felt relieved when Akko had brought her arms up as well.

So many questions ran through Diana's mind.

What happened?

Who did this to Akko?

Why would someone do this?

How was she going to get back at whoever dared do this to Akko?

The idea that someone might have done this to Akko made Diana feel rage, but that rage quickly dissipated when she felt Akko tremble. Diana began to feel a damp spot on her shoulder, and all of that rage and confusion quickly gave way to Diana's overwhelming desire to comfort Akko and make sure she would be okay.

"Shhh, It's okay," Diana cooed as she rubbed soothing circles on Akko's back, "let it all out."

She held Akko more tightly the more the witch trembled in her arms, and Akko held onto Diana more tightly, as if holding onto her one and only lifeline.

Through the manic sobs, Akko had managed out a single phrase.

"Today was a bad day."

Eventually, Diana had brought Akko to the couch. From there Akko tried to tell Diana everything that happened today, though a lot of it was incomprehensible through her sobs. 

Diana didn’t care though, she had heard enough to discern what happened. All she wished to do now was give comfort.

Diana leaned back on the armrest, and she invited Akko to do the same onto her. Akko slowly did so, trying her very best to keep it together. Akko's cheeks were still stained red, and there were still tears forming from the corners of her eyes.

Diana held onto Akko's hand, providing as much support as she could give, to be a sort of anchor for Akko. She also stroked Akko's hair continuously, the act seemingly enough to soothe Akko, successfully lulling her to sleep.

Diana felt an overwhelming pain in her chest.

How could she have let this happen? How could she have been caught so unaware of Akko's plight, for what was probably the entire day?

Looking at Akko, the girl she loved, who had just fallen asleep in tears, Diana knew one thing for certain.

She would never allow such a thing to happen. Ever again.

When Akko woke up, she was feeling a million times better. She smiled at Diana and thanked her so much for being a shoulder to cry on.

Diana told her to think nothing of it, that Akko should always feel free to come to  her (or anyone of their friends) for help. When she saw the almost nervous look on Akko's face, Diana reached out, saying no one would think lesser of her for doing so.

If anything, Diana saw strength in Akko's decision to come to her for support. It took strength to acknowledge that something was just too much for oneself to handle… it was a lesson Diana had learned from Akko, after all.

Akko smiled and hugged Diana once again, sharing many thanks. Diana returned the hug and promised that she would make sure that this would never happen again.

And so Diana devised a plan with the rest of the group.

She would spend time in hiding, watching in secret for any sign of curses, hexes, or general wrongdoing done against Akko… and it wasn't long until she found the culprits and discerned their motives.

It had taken only a moment to corner the three. The moment Diana had them alone, the group began to shrink smaller and smaller under Diana’s intimidating presence.

"I swear," Diana growled at the cowering trio, "if you dare to even think about doing anything to Akko, I will ensure that you will wish I had reported you to the Headmistress."

"B-But Diana!"

"No buts." Diana spat. "Your purpose for doing this to Akko is pathetic. It brings shame to both the noble family you belong to and to the prestigious name of Luna Nova itself... And let me tell you one more thing," Diana said, moving closer, her blue eyes cold as a frigid blizzard, "Akko is a greater witch than you will ever be, and she will become a greater witch than I could ever hope to be. So I suggest you take your petty jealousy and envy and direct it towards bettering yourselves, or I will ensure you are never allowed to practice magic ever again."

Diana felt satisfied as she watched the three scamper off.

For good measure, Diana had continued to stay hidden, to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary happened to Akko.

To her surprise, the three witches walked up to Akko and apologized… and while Akko was irate and frustrated at first, she quickly forgave them when they said they would never do it ever again.

Diana smiled, watching Akko once again prove why she would grow up to be far greater than anyone could ever hope to become… watching Akko, once again, prove how she had managed to steal her heart.

Ever since that incident, Akko had grown even closer to Diana. She was constantly giving her hugs, stopping by Diana's room to talk about her day and to listen to Diana talk about hers, and even dropped by just to hang around while Diana was doing something else, like homework or reading. She even took time to introduce Diana to the rest of her Shiny Chariot Card game collection and challenge her, in which Diana showed that she had been a master at the card game as a child.

Given all of this, it was only natural that, when Akko agreed to role play a part Lotte and Barbara wanted to see re-enacted from a Nightfall side-story about a mage that Edgar, Arthur, and Belle met in their adventures, she eagerly sought out Diana to play the role of her partner: the tall, imposing, yet kind-hearted mage.

It was a perfect fit!

Akko ran across campus looking for any sign of Diana.

Unsurprisingly, she finally found her sitting in the library, reading some book. 

Akko really loved the way Diana looked, focused entirely on what was on the page. She loved the way Diana's face changed ever so slightly while she read: from a tiny raise of her eyebrows to show something surprising happened, to a tiny clench of her jaw to show that something tense was happening. It was adorable to watch.

However, admiration could wait. She needed a partner to help Lotte out after all!

"Dianaaaaa!" Akko called out, running towards her friend.

Diana's head whipped towards Akko, and her eyes widened.

"Akko!" Diana hushed, raising a finger up to her lips. "You are in a library!"

"O-oh right" Akko muttered, slowing down as she approached Diana. "Sorry about that."

Diana sighed, though a smile was on her face.

"So?" Diana asked.

"So?" Akko echoed.

Diana chuckled, placing a bookmark on her page and closing the book she had been reading. "So, why did you come yelling through the library for me?" Diana asked, causing heat to rise up into Akko's face. "I assume you had a reason?"

"O-oh right! … Do you, uh, wanna help me out with something Lotte wanted me to help her out with?" Akko asked, scratching the back of her head.

"Help you out with something?" Diana asked, intrigued.

"Yeah, uhm… Lotte wants me to help re-enact something from Nightfall."

"I see…" Diana said, placing a her hand on her chin in thought. "And how would you wish for me to help?"

"O-oh right! I need a partner for the scene! Uhm…" Akko twiddled with her fingers. Her heart was beating quickly and her face continued to burn bright red. "Would... would you like to be my partner?"

Akko shut her eyes and held her breath, waiting for Diana's answer. A wait that had only lasted a few minutes but felt like an eternity.

Thankfully, just as Akko's lungs felt like they were about to burn, Diana agreed to help, and Akko instantly let out her breath and hugged Diana tight enough to leave the blonde winded.

"So… you wish for me to put on this costume and act?" Diana questioned, staring blankly at the black robe, black suit and pants, bolo tie, and fake horns.

"It's called cosplay Diana," Barbara answered, "and yup! Ahhh, I'm so excited to see this!"

"How would one keep this horn attached to their head?" Diana wondered, struggling to find any sort of way keep it together. Had she been allowed to, she simply would have used magic… but Akko, Lotte, and Barbara all insisted doing so would ruin half the fun of the project.

"Like, don't worry Diana! I can do it." Barbara offered, taking the horn from Diana's hand and fiddling with some wires. "Just read the script. I promise you'll, like, totally enjoy the part~"

Diana sighed and picked up the script and a cup of tea. She decided to first go through the character list. It appeared she'd be playing someone named Elias.

Akko would be playing someone named Chise who was… a slave? And it appeared Sucy would be playing the role of the slave-trader.

Diana then moved on to the actual script, parsing through the dialogue to get a good idea of the story line. It appeared Akko would be sold off at an auction house, and Diana would be paying an exorbitant amount of money to purchase her.

Already Diana felt fairly uncomfortable. Sure it wasn't her and it wasn't Akko… but the idea of Akko being sold away was rather unsavory. Though the more she read, the more she appreciated Elias's character, providing a home for her to stay in, promising to nurture a talent the girl wasn't even aware she possessed.

Elias even promised to make Chise a mage and his bri-

Diana spit out her tea, nearly choking on the warm beverage.

Barbara quickly rushed to make sure Diana was okay, but when she saw what had caused the reaction, she gave Diana an impish grin.

"So, Diana, what do you think?"

Diana could do nothing but blush, her heart still racing from having read the line she had already agreed to say.

Considering how simple her costume was  ― Lotte had quite literally draped an oversized white robe over her uniform ― , Akko had spent quite a while waiting for Diana and Barbara to finish their preparations.

However, when Diana and Barbara finally arrived, the reason they took so long was clear to see.

Diana looked absolutely gorgeous.

Akko's jaw nearly dropped. Her heart started racing as she watched Diana calmly walk up to her in that dark suit. The way the suit jacket hugged Diana curves made Akko's throat feel dry. And the way those pants hugged Diana's waist had to be illegal in some countries. It just had to be.

Akko even found that Diana even managed to make the ridiculously large black robe look cool.

And Akko did not hesitate to let it be known just how cool Diana looked, blurting it out immediately when Diana was standing right next to her, much to both hers and Diana’s chagrin.

#4

The re-enactment had gone pretty much without a hitch. With a few tasteful uses of magic, Lotte and Barbara were able to get a very faithful adaptation to what was probably one of the most famous side stories from the Nightfall series, and the rest of their friends were able to get a fairly entertaining watch.

There was only one scene left: the one where Elias declares that Chise was to be his future bride.

Before Akko and Diana got to that part, however, Barbara paused the entire performance.

Despite how well the entire script had gone, Barbara, having been roommates with Diana for three years now, could see the nervousness in her leader building up. It was subtle, a slight twitch of her eyes, a light tapping of her fingers against her sides, but it was enough for her to notice.

With the next scene truly being the climax of their script, Barbara wanted to make sure that it would be perfect… but even more importantly, Barbara was truly hoping Diana could finally convey her feelings for Akko through this stage show.

And so, Barbara isolated Diana and gave her one final direction:

For this last scene, pretend it was just her and Akko alone. It was just an intimate moment between the both of them. From there, just allow her feelings do the rest.

Diana bit her lip, but agreed to try.

Nervous as she was, once she and Akko got deep into the final scene, with Elias having just protected Chise from the Ariel Fae, Diana found that getting lost in Akko was far easier than she had ever imagined.

With Akko clutching onto her robes, as per directed in the scene, Diana couldn't help but wish Akko had been holding onto her as Akko instead of as Chise.

"Even though you can see them, you're not cautious around them at all… You should be very careful from now on Chise," Diana said, lacing an arm around Akko's back and around the back of Akko's knees.

"G-Gya! What are you doing?!" Akko yelled as Diana picked her up a bridal carry.

"It's easy to get lost on the mountain at night so let's go like this," Diana whispered into Akko's ear, with as much honesty and sincerity as possible. "To our home."

It was surprising to both Diana and Akko how right those words felt. "Our home".

Akko couldn't help the faint blush that slowly began to build on her face.

Diana was looking at her with such affection… those blue eyes were so soft and the smile on Diana's face was so gentle, that Akko's heart began to melt. She wrapped an arm around Diana's neck and leaned closer to hide her face against Diana's shoulder.

"Yes," Akko whispered softly, her heart racing a mile a minute.

She had been very disappointed when Diana put her back down, signaling their return to their "home".

"Hm… we have got to cover up that arm," Diana said, reaching out and softly holding Akko's arm towards her, turning it around and inspecting it. She was fully lost in this performance, taking Barbara's advice and letting her emotions take her where she needed to go. "It would not be good if my future wife were to get a scar."

"I-I see," Akko muttered, before widening her eyes in shock. "Wife? Who… whose wife?!"

"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" Diana muttered as she turned her head. "The obvious reason I bought you was to make you my apprentice… but…"

It was an impulsive decision.

Perhaps all that time spent with Akko recently had influenced her judgment... or perhaps this was a result of fully embracing her feelings.

"Akko."

"Eh?" Akko's eyes widened in shock.

H-Had Diana made a mistake? A slip up?

Akko was too confused to realize Diana had pulled her even closer, now against Diana’s chest. She was too focused on staring up at Diana's face, trying to figure out what just happened. Why Diana had said her name.

If it was a mistake, Diana clearly didn't show it… Diana was looking at her with pure confidence… and those eyes were still looking at her as if she was the most important thing in the world

The only thing in the world.

"Akko," Diana said once again, almost emphasizing that none of this was a mistake on her part. With a smile, Diana finished as softly… as lovingly as possible, never once looking away from Akko's eyes. “but I also hope to make you my bride.”

In one moment, everyone froze.

And in the next…

"EHHHHHHHHH?!" Akko yelled, her face erupting, burning bright hot. Her heart was beating so quickly, it could likely outpace the speed of a giant missle.

In an instant, Akko caved in on herself, suddenly very thankful this white robe around her was so large. Akko crouched onto the ground and hid her face in the collar of the giant robe.

While Akko was dealing with the aftermath of the confession, Diana felt… almost liberated.

While the words were… different, the emotions she relayed were the same. They were the same feelings she had been harboring for years now… and finally being able to express them felt like having the world lifted off of her shoulders… Especially after seeing Akko's reaction.

After all, Diana had already seen what Akko looked like after a confession that she flat out rejected, if that party from years ago was anything to go by.

Had Akko found the idea truly repulsive, she would look faint… her face would be pale and she would have instantly pushed away.

But instead, Akko's face erupted in color, and rather than disgusted, Akko appeared merely overwhelmed.

Diana crouched beside Akko and smiled.

It was actually really adorable.

"Are you okay?" Diana asked sweetly.

"… Just give me a minute," Akko answered, having only barely heard the question over the intense drumming of her heart.

#1

After having let out a few high pitched squeals of joy, Barbara and Lotte immediately turned everyone away and left to give Akko and Diana some time to themselves.

And so Akko and Diana talked with one another about what just happened, how serious Diana was… and what this meant for them.

It wasn't long before the both of them started to date.

Diana, having already come to terms with her feelings for Akko, was definitely the less nervous one in their relationship. Diana was always the one initiating intimate contact with the other.

A gentle brush on the shoulder while they were studying. A finger on Akko's lip to quiet the girl for a kiss. Leaning down to look Akko in the eyes lovingly as Akko rested on her lap.

There were even times Diana would trap Akko between a wall in the corner of the hallway.

And every single thing Diana did made Akko's face blush.

She was embarrassed. This wasn't something she was used to feeling… the flutter in her stomach every time Diana was near her. The way her mind seemed to stop working whenever Diana touched her or hugged her or looked at her. And whenever Diana kissed her, Akko couldn't even move for a few seconds…

But she loved every second of it.

As they got even more comfortable with one another, Akko found herself almost craving Diana's kisses… every bit of Diana's affection becoming a daily part of her life… a part so integral, that it had become almost as important as eating breakfast or practicing magic.

"Akko," Diana said, her voice hoarse,  "Like I've said before, until I feel better… there will be no more kissing."

So when Diana got sick and placed a moratorium on all kisses until she felt better, needless to say Akko was less than pleased.

"But Diaaaanaaaaaa" Akko whined against Diana's bed.

"No buts Akko," Diana scolded. "It is bad enough that I am sick… I would not be able to live with myself if I knew I was the cause of you becoming sick as well…"

Akko grumbled for the rest of the day… the lack of Diana being obvious to all people but especially to her. After each class, Akko always held her hand out… only to remember Diana wasn't there to take it. And every moment, Akko felt like she was waiting for a kiss she knew would never come.

By the time she was at lunch with her friends, Akko was feeling very antsy.

"'Not until I feel better', she says." Akko mumbled during lunch as she swirled potatoes around with her spoon.

And that's when an idea struck her.

She pushed back on her chair suddenly, causing it to scrape against the ground.

"I GOT IT!" Akko declared, much to the surprise of most everyone in her table.

"Akko, that's nice." Sucy immediately retorted, having gotten used to the antics ages ago. "Now sit your butt back down. You're causing a scene."

"O-oh woops." Akko mumbled, scratching the back of her head. "Sorry everyone!" Akko quickly apologized before sitting back down on her chair to plan.

Akko was just going to have to make Diana feel better.

#9

After classes, Akko met up with Hannah and Barbara and asked them for the key to their dorm.

Key in hand, Akko ran straight into the kitchen and right up to a kitchen goblin. She begged them to let her get some chicken broth for Diana to drink. She also asked if she could have some honey and lemon wedges, and much to her relief the kitchen goblin let her take some.

They poured the soup in a thermos, wrapped a spoon in paper towels, and handed Akko a bottle of honey and a plastic bag full of lemon wedges.

Food in hand, Akko beelined for Diana's room. Once she got there though, Akko stopped to slowly… carefully open the door.

Yes, she wanted to make Diana feel better, but if she was asleep, Akko didn't want to disturb her.

"Hannah? Barbara?"

Though the voice calling out relieved Akko of such worries, it did give her something else to worry about… namely how hoarse Diana's voice sounded.

"Nope, it's Akko!" Akko said as she walked across the room.

"Akko?"

When Diana saw Akko enter her side of the room, she struggled to sit up. She pushed up on her bed and attempted to rest her back on the headrest of her bed.

"Wait Diana, before you sit… lemme just" Akko mumbled as she put the food from the kitchen atop Diana's desk. She then dashed out into the other side of the room and collected all of the pillows from the blue dorm.

Hannah and Barbara wouldn't mind right?

She then rushed to Diana's side and stacked a mound of pillows behind the heiress, providing the perfect backrest for her.

"There! How does that feel?"

Diana smiled, pushing back against the soft cushion of half a dozen pillows.

"It feels wonderful, thank you."

Akko chuckled bashfully, a slight blush on her face.

"Oh right! Diana, have you had anything to eat yet today?"

"Not yet… though I must admit my appetite has been rather lacking."

"That's not good! Here, have some of this!" Akko said as she twisted the cap off of the thermos and poured some of the soup into the cap. She then dipped a spoon into the cap and offered it to Diana. "C'mon Diana! Say ahhhn"

Diana blushed and turned away.

"Akko… must we do this?" Diana muttered, "I am not feeling particularly hungry at the moment."

"Diana, you need to eat something!" Akko protested. "So just let me…

Try as she might, Diana kept on turning away from the offered spoon.

"H-hey no, Diana stop! Don't turn awa- Mooooou" Akko pouted, before finally having had enough. Diana was too far away for Akko to get a good shot at feeding her.

If Diana was going to keep being stubborn and not eat, then Akko decided she would need to be just as stubborn.

"Akko, I truly appreciate what you are trying to do bu-" Diana froze, her already warm face exploding into a blazing inferno, "A-Akko! What are you doing?!"

Akko continued her actions, undeterred by her girlfriend's surprise. She had put down the cap back onto the table and began to climb onto Diana's bed. Akko then straddled Diana's legs, her knees on either side of the heiress's. All of this while she sported a pout directed at Diana.

While Diana was still frozen, clearly trying to wrap her head around everything that was happening, Akko took this as a opportunity to see just how sick Diana actually was. She leaned forward, resting her hands on Diana's shoulder, and pressed their foreheads together.

It felt like Diana's fever was slowly starting to go away. She didn't feel nearly as warm as she was before.

Akko smiled and sighed in relief. Seemed like Diana would be better in no time!

Her concerns mostly gone, Akko seemed to realize just how close she actually was to Diana's face. Akko stared right into Diana's, still unbelievably wide, blue eyes. She could feel how quickly Diana's pulse was racing.

And… Diana let her get this close. Akko's been looking forward to just one kiss for days now. Maybe if Akko just leaned in, Diana would let her-

"Akko!" Diana scolded, pressing her hand on Akko's lip and lightly pushing her backwards. She then grabbed Akko's hands and interlaced their fingers. She kept their hands between the both of them, acting as some sort of wall or boundary.

Akko's eyes were still closed, her lips pursed. She let out a soft whine, having been soooo close to what would have been paradise.

Diana let out a shaky sigh, in an attempt to still her own racing heart.

"Akko… how many times have I told you no kissing until I feel better?" Diana chided lightly. She couldn't really be all that mad at Akko though. After all… "it's hard for me too, you know?"

"But Dianaaaa!" Akko whined, "you won't let me nurse you until you’re better! And I've been waiting forever for a kiss!"

"As have I Akko, but I do not wish to risk you getting sick on my account."

"At least let me feed you some food," Akko said, sending Diana a pout. "It'll help you!"

Diana closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

"Very well," Diana relented.

"Ehehe yay!" Akko cheered as she quickly reached out for the earlier abandoned cap and spoon. "Now say aahhhh~"

Diana, ignoring the ever rising heat in her face and up her ears, closed her eyes and listened to Akko's request.

"A-Ahhh"

Thankfully for the both of them, Diana's fever had subsided the next day, and fortunately Akko had not contracted the same sickness.

Unfortunately for them, their time at Luna Nova was quickly drawing to a close. It was their final year after all.

As a result, Akko and Diana spent almost every waking moment together. Naturally, of course, they were with their other friends, and sometimes they did go out with those friends instead of with each other, but for the most part Akko and Diana were inseparable.

Still, they couldn't shake off the worry of their impending separation… with their curriculum at Luna Nova ending, there was nothing concrete tying Akko to England anymore.

And then, it happened, on a certain night, while Diana and Akko were reviewing for their respective elective classes, Diana with Advanced Biology and Magic and Akko with Magic and Early Development.

"I'm really gonna miss this," Akko said as she flipped to the next page of her notes. "Just us being together like this."

"I will too," Diana admitted as she casually bent the corner of page she was currently on. "I… rather enjoy spending all of my time with you."

"Right?!" Akko exclaimed, leaning back against Diana's legs. "It's going to feel really weird having to go back home to Japan. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family, but I think I'll miss you more."

Diana hummed in thought as she leaned back against her chair.

And that's when she said it, a simple passing thought. Perhaps one she never even intended to speak out loud.

"Then perhaps you would not mind staying here in England and living with me after Luna Nova?"

Whatever Akko was doing in that moment was dropped.

Nothing she was reading made any more sense, her mind having suffered some sort of fatal error.

"Wh-What did you just say?"

"Pardon?" Diana asked, her voice raised in confusion.

"Diana, I'm serious. Did you… did you really mean that?"

"Akko," Diana sighed, her eyes still trailing the lines of her book, "you are going to need to be more specific."

Akko groaned when she looked up see Diana still reading her book.

With a flick of her wrist, Akko cast a wind spell to blow the lights out.

"Akko, what are you doing?" Diana asked, concerned.

"Diana I'm serious," Akko said. She climbed atop her girlfriend and placed a hand on her book, pushing it down towards Diana's lap. "Did you really mean it when you said I could stay here in England with you?"

Diana stared up at Akko, looking straight into Akko's moonlit red eyes.

Had she really said that out loud? If she had, she surely never meant to voice such an intimate desire.

However, looking up at Akko, staring at her with such intensity, such hope, such love, Diana couldn't help but feel like, even if she hadn’t meant to say it... it was truly all that she had wanted.

"Yes" Diana said breathlessly, still entranced by the look in Akko's eyes, as they both leaned in for a kiss in the soft light of the full moon.

A few short days after their talk, everything was going perfectly.

Akko had called her parents, and they both happily gave their permission for Akko to stay in England to follow her dreams and stay with Diana, whom they both had the pleasure of meeting beforehand.

They also began to look for a place.

They could have stayed at the Cavendish manor, but until the next Venusian eclipse, Diana wished to be alone with Akko, taking care of Cavendish business from afar. In about a week's time, they found what seemed to be the perfect little house. It had one bedroom, which was perfectly fine for their purposes. There was also a rather spacious living room, with a large sliding window.

It was also very close to the licensing department for magic, where Diana would be going to quite often to work on her magic medical license.

And the more Diana and Akko looked around, the more apparent it became.

This place was perfect.

In their last weeks, all the time they spent together was spent on the moving preparations. Several boxes full of books and precious mementos from their years at Luna Nova were carried away with them.

Since they both knew that they would be living with each other after they graduated, Diana and Akko tended to spend more time with the rest of their friends, knowing that the time they had with them was, at least for a while, limited. Still, every Sunday, the both of them would spend time together, working on moving boxes upon boxes of their own possessions.

And then graduation came.

Diana was, of course, the Valedictorian. No one else could have matched the consistent perfection of Diana's grades, personal achievements, and contributions to Luna Nova.

It was a bittersweet ceremony, the occasion itself joyous, full of laughter, joy, and, naturally, a ton of chaos.  

Sucy gave Akko one last potion, which filled her with so much energy that it was as if she had drunk fifteen shots of espresso at once. Combined with Amanda's need to cause chaos for fun, and Diana had a lot of work cut out in keeping their graduation party from tearing the school apart. Thankfully Lotte, Hannah, and Barbara worked with her to keep the peace.

After a long celebration, and several heartfelt, tear jerking good-byes and farewells between the red, blue, and green teams, filled with promises to keep in touch with each other using Witchbook and WitchApp (something Diana and Akko both agreed Akko would have full reins of from their end, given Diana's relative removal from modern technology growing up, save for her brief stint in Japan), the witches went their separate ways.

Akko and Diana flew off to their new home. 

The both of them smiled at one another, holding each other's hand, as they both reached out to turn the doorknob together.

They opened it up together and were met with stacks of unpacked boxes. Akko and Diana both chuckled nervously looking at the daunting task they would have to deal with.

But that could wait until tomorrow. Today had been really tiring, and both girls knew exactly what they wanted to do first in their house.

In their home.

Wordlessly, though they both did giggle with excitement, Akko and Diana ran to the bedroom, got changed out of their graduation gowns, and put on their sleeping clothes. Then they immediately hopped into bed, holding each other close.

It was so nice. So warm. It was perfect.

Akko rested one arm on Diana's side, her other arm trapped snugly underneath Diana.

Diana held tightly onto Akko, holding the both of them closer together.

It was everything Akko had ever dreamt it would be… for how long, she didn't know.

Which got her thinking… and with the reflective mood a huge event like graduation had managed to put her in, Akko just had to know.

"Hey Diana," Akko whispered.

"Yes Akko?" Diana mumbled.

"Did you… ever imagine something like this would happen?"

Diana tightened her hold onto Akko, on the one person in her life who meant more to her than anyone else.

"… At some point, I started hoping it would…" Diana answered softly.

And Akko smiled, moving her arm to hug Diana's side.

"Yeah, me too."

#3

Diana woke up to see Akko still sleeping beside her. There was a trail of drool dripping onto their pillow. It had been several months since they had first moved in together, but this was still a sight she absolutely adored waking up to.

Diana slowly moved forward and pressed a gentle kiss on Akko's nose.

"Hmmm, Diana?" Akko muttered sleepily, voice still gravelly. "What's up?"

"Just wanted to inform you I would be getting up now to watch that show you introduced me to last week…" Diana said, "do you wish to join me?"

Akko hummed sleepily, perhaps debating the options in her head. 

"How much longer until then?"

"You have about ten more minutes until the show begins."

"Okaaaay," Akko yawned, "I'll be out in five minutes."

Diana smiled, pressed a soft kiss on Akko's lips, and rolled off of bed.

She walked into the living room and saw the clouds were gray and that there was a light pouring of rain from outside their window.

She sighed. Had Akko not introduced her to that ridiculously addicting cartoon last week, today would have been a perfect day to sleep in.

Oh well.

Diana walked into the kitchen and poured herself a bowl of cereal. She then lazily walked up to the couch in the middle of their living room, grabbed the television remote, and turned on the television. Thankfully, the channel was already set correctly.

Diana smiled when she heard a soft yawn from behind her.

"Good morning Akko," Diana greeted the moment she saw Akko approach their couch. When Akko pointed at her lap, Diana raised her bowl up in the air, giving Akko enough space to collapse, belly face down, onto it.

Akko stretched out and yawned, slowly waking herself up.

"How much longer Diana?"

"Only a few more minutes."

Akko hummed, before rolling over so that she was face up towards Diana.

"Do we have anything else to do today?" Akko asked.

"Well…" Diana slowly said, turning towards the window, "if the rain clears up, we could maybe visit Hannah and Barbara. They just moved in yesterday."

"Ooh! We should do that!" Akko agreed, "Maybe give them a house-warming gift."

"That would be lovely." Diana said. “I am sure they would appreciate it.”

When the familiar theme song started blaring from the television screen, Akko turned around so that she could face the screen.

Diana put down the remote and rested her hand on the side of Akko's head, using her thumb to rub light circles on Akko's round cheek.

Akko smiled and hummed in contentment, snuggling backwards, closer to Diana's stomach.

"This is nice." Akko said with a grin. "You know, being here with you."

Diana smiled, Akko's simple words making her heart melt.

Diana leaned down to press a kiss on Akko's cheek.

"I could not agree more."

In The City

Tori sat with her feet kicked up on the edge of the desk - one foot bouncing along with the music that blared in her earbuds.   This was the part of her job that she loved the most - working solo meant she could operate in complete solitude - nothing and no one to interface with.  It was just her, a laptop, and a backpack filled with various tools used for ethical hacking.  As far as she was concerned, ethical had a loose interpretation.  With great power comes great responsibility, right?  Her philosophy was that the concepts of good and bad was completely relative - at least where cyber security and information was concerned.  

The code had already been written, and it was a masterpiece - if she were to say so herself.  All that was left to do was wait and watch it work - a timer ticked away to denote the execution time.  The goal to beat was 10 minutes - that was the amount of time it took her to crack the last network and control the databases that her latest client had given her as a target.  The intel she had received was good on a suitable entry point - that would reduce the time significantly - she was feeling confident she would set a new record.  This job was of the not-so-ethical variety, but as the suit who handed her the envelope said - it was for the greater good.  She would be the judge of that once she got a better look what they were after.  

She picked up the paper coffee cup and gave it a shake, sighing when she found that it was empty.  Lame.  It would not be too long before she could roll out and get another - it was still early, and she averaged at least 4 cups a day, give or take.  It could not be just any coffee either, Tori was a self-prescribed coffee snob.  The screen on her laptop flickered, and a welcoming sight was displayed.  A shit-eating grin stretched across her lips.  Six minutes, Doug E. Fresh - we’re in.  

She stood up from the chair and executed the command to begin the download - as she pressed the enter key, she broke out into a celebratory dance.  This job was going to pay handsomely, with little effort.  She was certain that this was not what her grandfather had in mind when he shipped her off to the United States to attend M.I.T - but what the old man did not know, wouldn’t hurt him.  He had been disappointed when she did not come back to Japan to pursue a career in Robotics - she started hacking her freshman year and had not looked back since.  She loved it almost as much as she loved the renowned poet Keats - or coffee.  

Her chosen profession - for lack of a better term - paid a hell of a lot better than writing poetry, and that would have been her second choice for work.  It also afforded her the freedom to live the lifestyle she wanted, and to be able to send money home as well.  She had worked hard to get into school - to be the dutiful granddaughter and become an engineer - but one of her professors said something that changed her perspective on everything.

“You have to do what you love, because life is not a dress rehearsal - you get one shot at it - so live a life doing things that make you happy. You were born to do more than just pay taxes and die.”

Tori thrummed her fingertips on the desk, waiting for the last 3 percent of the progress bar to hit completion - she looked at her watch.  She pumped her fist in the air when she saw the time - she would have time to hit the bookstore and the coffee shop before she was scheduled for a meeting with a new client.  As soon as the download was complete, she packed her laptop into her backpack - she slung on her jacket and grabbed her helmet from the hook on the wall as she walked through the doorway.  “Hey Jeans - I am gonna head out.  Ping me if the suits come sniffing around, would ya?”

Jeanine - or Jeans, who was Tori’s awesome assistant - nodded her head and hummed.  “Sure.  I got a date tonight though, so I am going to leave a little early.”  Tori stopped before the door closed behind her, “It’s not with that same douchebag, is it?  I fucking hate that guy.”  Jeanine shook her head, “No - a new guy I met last weekend.  He’s got a cute friend too.”  Jeanine’s tone implied that she was looking to try to set up another shitshow of a double date.  Tori groaned, she had absolutely no interest in the smarmy friends of the guys Jeans was into. She’d given it a try once, and that was enough.  “I’d rather get a lobotomy.  Good bye, Jeans.”

Tori sped down the street, zipping between cars - she loved that she could roll through traffic practically unhindered on her motorcycle.  It was the first purchase she made after being paid for a big job - a black Triumph MY17 Bonneville Bobber.  It was custom made, and equal parts iconic and quality engineering.  It also made her feel like a proper badass.  She pulled into her usual parking spot in front of her favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood - it was a mom-and-pop run joint, and she loved the ambiance there - she probably spent too much time there.  Not probably. ��Definitely.

She took off her helmet, strapped it to the seat of her motorcycle and strolled toward the door - it was a crisp day, so she found it odd when she noticed that someone besides herself would opt to sit outside - and she had never seen the man there before.  She glanced at him as she walked past - dark messy hair, glasses - a tattooed hand flipping a page on the book that was laid out on the table in front of him.  The door tinkled when she opened it, followed by the employees shouting their customary greeting.  “Ay!  Tori!”

After getting caught up on the neighborhood gossip and acquiring a very large cup of coffee, Tori made her way back outside - to sit at her favorite table.  She slung her backpack onto the chair next to her and pulled out a worn, black leather-bound journal.  The stranger that sat across from her caught her eye again - his attention focused onto the page he was reading, fingers slowly scrubbing the hair on his chin.   She raised an eyebrow as she noticed  the letters tattooed on his fingers.  Interesting.  

Tori pulled her phone out of her pocket and placed it on the table and queued up the next song in her playlist - ‘In the City’ by The Jam - and plugged the headphones into her ears.  She opened the journal and began to scribble notes into it, bobbing her head with the music - designs for a new RFID hacking device that made use of a mini drone - controlled by a program on her phone.  She chuckled as she thought of all the fun she would have with it.  She paused to take a sip of her coffee, making eye contact with the stranger this time - his eyes were a golden, almost amber color - she continued to stare even after she sat her mug down - she wondered if it was the light of the sun that caused the effect, or if his eyes were actually that color.  There was no change in the man’s expression - it was one of an almost clinical inspection - as she continued to stare at him.  When Tori’s phone rang, he nonchalantly turned his attention back to the book he had been reading.

Tori swiped her finger across the touch screen of her phone, “Talk to me, Jeans.”  There was a longer than necessary silence, “Jeans?  You there?”  Tori heard what sounded like a phone being dropped followed by a string of profanities - after a few minutes of fumbling - Jeanine’s voice came through.  “Shit.  Sorry.  Where are you?”  Tori sighed, “At the coffee shop.  I’ve got a little over an hour before the meeting.  Why?”  More silence.  Tori’s eyebrows furrowed, her voice lowered to nearly a growl.  “Jeanine.  Why?”  Jeanine stuttered, “W-w-well, you see - I might have entered in the details into your calendar wrong.  The meeting  is actually an hour earlier than what it says.”  Tori sighed more heavily this time, “If I am late for this meeting, Jeans -”  Jeanine interrupted her, “I will make it up to you, I swear.”

With a growl, Tori hung up the phone - she began shoving her belongings back into her backpack and slung it onto her shoulder - her eyebrows knitted together, muttering to herself about the various ways in which she would murder Jeanine, should she be late.  She hated being late.  She stopped and popped her head inside the door of the coffee shop, “Oi!  I’m off!  See you guys later!”  As she turned to head to walk away, she heard the employees shouting their goodbyes - she jogged over to her motorcycle and plopped down onto the seat, quickly pulling her helmet on.  She turned the key, starting the engine - she took one last look at the time on her phone before cranking up the volume and shoving it into her pocket.  

Music blared in her ears.  With a bad attitude and a short time to make it to her destination, Tori quickly sped off.  She had been so pissed off that she did not notice that the handsome stranger’s eyes had been fixated on her from the moment that she stood up from the table - following her until she was out of sight.
