Snippet #5: "Shiny Chariot, Dreamy Diana!"

Snippet!! It’s been a while… And I am sooo guilty about this… Sorry @lizanime3

Snippet #5: “Shiny Chariot, Dreamy Diana!”

“A&B are watching TV and after a while, A closes their eyes. Thinking they are asleep, B starts watching their favorite animated movie from when they were a kid, not knowing A is wide awake and trying hard not to laugh at how adorable it is that B still likes kiddie movies.”

I thought of placing Akko as B, but with her character, she pretty much IS a fawning-over-kidstuff kind of person. Plus I wanna see cute Diana… Sooooo… Y'know what I’m trying to say here?

Also, would it be alright if it were a series instead of a movie? @lizanime3

Set after they are married ^~^ *-*-*-*-*-*-*

“-And that was the latest report related to witches this evening. Next up, a new brand of ramen is bor-” A loud yawn sounded throughout the room as the click of the remote signalled the changing of the channels.

“Soooo boriiinnggg!!!” Akko drawled, eyes barely open as she slumped against her wife, feeling heavier by the minute. “Diana, why do we have to watch this?” She asked, lips seeking the skin of her wife’s collar, peppering tickling kisses there as Diana let out a breathy sigh, the arm wrapped around Akko’s shoulders, tightening their hold.

“Because it’s work-related.” She pressed her lips to her wife’s forehead, feeling the other woman’s weight rest more fully against her. “Lately, Luna Nova and witches in general have been getting much more attention, so as the headmistress, I must see to it that I am well informed of these affairs.”

The blonde giggled, hugging Akko tighter after a rather tired yawn, eyes fluttering, struggling and failing to stay awake.

“But it’s borriiinnngg… It makes me sleepy.” Diana chuckled, hands roaming in search of Akko’s to entwine them.

“Says the most famous lecturer and professor of witches. And can you settle down even for a while? You are always so busy, dealing with world issues and such, being a hero and a mentor. Isn’t this the same?”

The brunette snorted, shifting a bit so that she was tucked in Diana’s collar, lips dancing along the slope of her neck. “I’ll have you know my lectures are exciting and fun. Not like…. These."She pointed at the drone of the news on the screen. "Boring little things.”

Diana couldn’t keep another laugh as she nuzzles her head against her wife’s, before leaning it on the hero’s shoulder.

They stayed that way a while, enjoying the silent ambience and warmth- til Diana felt the pace of Akko’s heart and breathing drop, steadier, fuller and slower, more relaxed.

Akko had fallen asleep.

Knowing, but wanting to actually confirm this, Diana sneaked a peek at the shorter woman’s face, seeing her eyelids shut, twitching from time to time, a flutter of her breath producing gentle snoring- contrary to popular belief, Akko was a very quiet sleeper, surprisingly enough.

With a loving smile, Diana planted a kiss atop her head, brushing a few of her now longer bangs from her face.

“Sleep well.” She murmured against Akko’s lips before a bubbly, childish excitement overtook her at seeing the digits on their clock on the wall.

‘12:30am’

She had never admitted to anyone, not even her own partner, that she had this large secret, one that should never see the light of day.

Airing at this time, was a show… A poor low-budget, low-quality series that would probably get cut soon, and Diana had always wondered why this horribly animated and poor portrayal of one iconic and “disdainful” witch character had yet to be done away with after so many years.

As the theme song played, the soft glow from the television casting it’s light on Akko, Diana lowered the volume, eyes bright in contrast to the dimly lit room.

In bold, flashy letters, the words- “Adventures of Shiny Chariot” were read across the screen.

It killed Diana that she was far too invested in this trashy, childish… Whatever this was. And it didn’t help that she had that few bits of pride that she did deserve to have, but still. This was far too compromising a secret to be found out.

Yet here she was, starry eyed as she watched her hero dance on stage, fight crime to some disarray the creators of the show referred to as “music”.

She sighed, both in bliss and in exasperation, though that twinkle in her eye never ceased to exist.

Every move Chariot did, well her cartoon counterpart did, every flick and toss of her wand, every step her feet tapped reminded Diana of the days she would beg her maids and mother for a custom set of Chariot wear so that she too might be able to waltz the stage.

Unbeknownst to her, in her silent, secretive admiration, another lass, eyes filled with mirth, could not take back the attention Diana stole, trying not to make even a squeak or giggle.

Ruby reds laughed mutely, watching every twitch of the corner of the blonde’s lips, every flutter of her long, thick lashes, and every restrained chuckle, giggle, laugh she let out. Akko almost made a sound when Diana snorted, horrified at the realization that she could not slap a hand over her mouth lest her motions alert her wife to her being awake. They were close enough to one another that one movement from Akko would jeopardize her viewing.

Silence wasn’t too golden at times.

But Akko would endure this silence if only to enjoy the child-like enjoyment if her other half. It was endearing and adorable to see that sparkle in bright diamonds, that wide, informal and unrestrained grin of ecstasy, Akko loved it.

She would stay silent a bit longe-

Diana’s sudden intense fit of giggling and laughter was too much for Akko, coupled with the tiny sneeze she made before laughing at her own silliness, it was irresistable and Akko just HAD to love her a million times more.

“Cute!” She exclaimed, squeezing her wife tightly while peppering kisses all over the now petrified woman.

“A-Akko?! S-since when?!”

The brunette laughed. “Since when what? Since when have I loved you? Since forever~” She sang, rocking them back and forth. “So adorable.. So even Diana Cavendish-” Akko said while the heiress blushed hard.

“-Kagari.” Her wife added

“Still has the heart of a child.”

“Th-there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?! Hmph!” She said, turning from the smirking professor. “And since when have you been awake?! Don’t tell me you haven’t been in dreamland at all!”

“I have.” Akko said, poking Diana’s cheek, trying to get her to face Akko.

“Then do share what it was about. What do you dream about?” Diana said, still pouting.

“Isn’t that obvious?” Akko spoke, wrapping her arms around Diana to hug her from behind.

“?”

“You are my dream. My dreamy Diana. The dreamy lady who runs the goshdarn best magic school ever and is the GREATEST witch in the world! Who tries to cook my favorite meals and gives me hugs and kisses… And work…” Diana giggled a bit, giving in to Akko as she leaned back into the embrace.

“At least you get work.”

“Who is so, so beautiful… Mature. Dependable, responsible but can also be so adorably childish, fawning over Shiny Chariot, My Dreamy Diana.”

Despite being seen in this embarrassing state, Diana decided it wasn’t so bad if it were Akko. A secret for one was now shared by two.

Planting a kiss on her wife’s lips, growing ever sleepy as the show came to a close, in the comfort of her wife’s warm embrace and soft kisses, Diana mumbled her I love you’s and good nights.

“You are also my dream.”

“I love you too.” Akko responded, tucking Diana under her arm and letting her rest on the brunette’s chest. “My dreamy Diana, sweet dreams…”

You are my dream… My dream come true...
