"Akko...Hey Akko" Diana whispered, hoping her girlfriend hadn't already drifted off to sleep.

"Hmm? What is it Diana?"

"I-I just wanted to talk, is that okay?"

"Of course it is!" Akko readjusted herself so she was sitting up, and Diana did the same "What do you want to talk about?"

"Earlier with your parents...Did I do well? Do you think they liked me? I know I wasn't exactly at my best during dinner"

"Of course you did, I'm sure they loved you"

"It's just...What if they don't accept our relationship? I know my parents won't like it"

Akko put her arm around Diana's shoulders and pulled her closer "Don't worry Diana, I've never failed to convince my parents about anything, and I won't stop now" With that Akko placed a kiss on Diana's cheek.

"Thank you, Akko" Diana rested her head on Akko's shoulder and closed her eyes, enjoying her warmth and the smell of her hair. Akko smiled and pulled her blanket further up the bed so they were properly covered by it. Within minutes Diana was asleep, and soon after Akko began to drift off as well, wrapped around the one she loved.

The next morning Akko awoke with Diana's arms wrapped around her chest and was treated to the sight of her girlfriend's sleeping face. After checking her clock and seeing it had barely gone 6 Akko snuggled down in her bed and pulled Diana into a loving hug as she dozed off. A couple of hours later the girls properly woke up and after they cleaned up in the bathroom, made their way to the kitchen where Akko made them breakfast. Diana felt a little awkward that she couldn't help her girlfriend with anything, but she forgot about it as soon as she began eating.

After breakfast Akko gave Diana a tour of the town, taking her everywhere from the park to the book shop where they briefly stopped so Diana could pick up a book on wind magic she hadn't seen before.

When they got back Akko suggested they play a few rounds of the Shiny Chariot card game and Diana eagerly accepted. Although she had significantly improved from when Akko had first taught her to play Diana still found herself losing easily to her girlfriend who would giggle as she tore through her defenses. Fortunately, they stopped playing before Diana's pride suffered any further wounds.

When it was time for lunch Diana insisted she help Akko in some way, and eventually after a considerable amount of pestering Akko let her slice the vegetables. One cut later and Akko was having to give her girlfriend a crash course in cooking, starting from the absolute basics.

Needless to say, when lunch was eventually prepared in twice the time it should have taken the girls -at least Diana- felt quite a sense of satisfaction at having made a meal together.

As for lunch itself, Diana enjoyed it immensely. To be precise, Diana enjoyed when she would ask Akko to pass her something out of reach and Akko would feed it to her before remarking how cute she looked.

That meal was significantly less awkward than dinner the previous night and Diana managed to make some small talk with Akko's parents, and by the end they were getting on quite nicely having already forgotten last night.

Some time in the afternoon -Diana guessed it must have been around 4- Akko and Diana were curled up on the sofa watching a recording of Chariot's most iconic performance together; Akko was laid back against Diana with her head resting on her girlfriend's chest and Diana had her arms wrapped around Akko's stomach.

Although Akko had been to Chariot's performance and watched the DVD many times she still got a little rush whenever she rewatched that particular performance. Diana on the other hand was completely transfixed by the performance, it had been more than ten years since she had seen Chariot's performance and she was delighted to finally be able to see it again, not that she let it show of course.

Throughout the performance Akko talked to Diana about anything that popped into her head ranging from how incredible Chariot's magic was to how much she loved Diana. After being told just how much Akko loved her for the fourth time that afternoon Diana's guard had slipped quite substantially and she ended up murmuring something she would have rather not said.

"Akko, you're so cute I want to be with you forever".

"Forever...You mean like getting married? Diana froze. Had she really just said that out loud? "Hey Diana, did you really mean it like that?"

"I…" Damn, she couldn't say she was thinking out loud could she? That would be terrible of her. Well, thinking about it getting married to Akko would be great, they would always be able to sleep together, she would be able to eat Akko's cooking everyday, they would be able to play the Shiny Chariot card game whenever they wanted…

"Diana, hey Diana, are you okay?"

"Oh yes, sorry I was just thinking about something" Diana took a couple of deep breaths "I know that we have only been a couple for a short period of time but...I love you, I love you so much I want to stay with you forever!"

"Diana!" Akko squealed as she threw her arms around her girlfriend and peppered her face with kisses for several minutes. When she finally stopped Akko pulled Diana into a tight hug and nuzzled her chest. "Hey Diana, I'd like to stay together forever as well"
