A/N: And I return for more gay. Welcome back everyone! This will be a continuation of my last fic; where in which Sucy, ever the clueless sap she is, struggles to come to terms with just how deep her love goes. This too will be a multi chapter story.

Reviews are appreciated! Tell me what you liked, tell me what to work on for the next chapter!

I hope you enjoy.


A busy kitchen, the sound of sizzling food, beams of white light filling the room with warmth. A head of brown hair at the stove, bright red eyes twinkling in the morning sun. She walked slowly up behind the figure; circling her arms around their waist, lips finding their place on the person's jugular. "Mmmmorning." The figure, a woman, breathed; closing her eyes in bliss. She turned the woman's chin towards her, breathing out a greeting as their lips connected. "Morning Akko."

Sucy jolted awake, eyes darting around wildly to take in her surroundings. The same homely wood ceiling, the same cream paint. 'Dormroom.' The orange light of a summer sunrise peaked in through closed curtains, making itself known against the hardwood. It was morning. She had been sleeping. It was a dream.

The violet witch sighed, reaching up a pale arm to cover her eyes and hide her blush. She had been having these dreams for weeks now. Always different, but carrying the same theme.

Akko and her, sharing a life together.

It was all too much for the alchemist at this point: she wasn't ready for that yet, wasn't ready for the commitment, the expectations, the intimacy. 'I've barely started to understand how it feels to be in love. I just need it to be slow.'

Things were at a good pace with Akko right now; it started with warmer smiles and eye contact a few seconds longer than was necessary. Then it was standing a bit closer, gently linking their fingers together. Sometimes, if she was particularly brave, they would part ways with a gentle kiss on Akko's forehead.

She turned over in her bed, facing the object of her affections with a loving smile. Akko was still sleeping, blankets pulled down around her hips, a hand under her shirt to lay over her naval. Her mouth was open, letting out unattractive animal growls as she snored. 'You're in love with this.' Sucy huffed a laugh, eyes closed, widening her lips into warm grin. "I guess I am." she whispered to no one in particular.

Sucy stayed awake from then until the alarm rang, silently watching her love dream. There wouldn't be any more sleeping, lest she have another amazing dream and wake up a red mess.

Lotte shifted from her top bunk as the buzzer shouted loudly in the small dorm. The mousey girl yawned, grasping blindly for her glasses; situating them on her nose with the help of a friendly spirit. "Morning."

"Morning." Sucy parroted, not taking her eyes of the snoring brunette. Akko had turned in her sleep, arms wrapped around herself in a hug, facing Sucy with a serene smile across her face. "How long have you been awake?" The ginger climbed down from her bunk, giving a light shake to Akko's shoulder as she passed; though the girl remained still.

"A few minutes before the alarm." The alchemist lied, sitting up on her mattress, finally tearing her eyes away from the slumbering witch to look out at the beginnings of a sunny day. Oranges had slowly faded into light icy blues as the sun creeped higher into the sky, wispy tufts of cloud stretching across the viewable expanse.

Reaching up to the ceiling, Sucy yawned, sitting up on her knees and bending back slowly over her calves until her head was in line with the tips of her toes. Pulling herself back up, the purple haired girl bent her spine forward, curling her head in towards her chest and sighing in relief.
Yoga was something Sucy practiced often in the mornings, much to Akko's delight. Sleeping on such soft mattresses had a tightening effect on Sucy's spine; she would be grumpy all day if she didn't decompress early.

The alchemist quite liked the idea of the two of them stretching together, but trying to get the brunette into any poses proved futile; the girl was stiff as a board and often too flustered to get her breathing under control. 'Maybe I can make a potion for that...'

"Akko, come on, it's time to get up." As Lotte struggled to wake the sleeping bear that was their friend, Sucy uncurled, walking over to the desk, perusing labels stuck to the bubbling venoms. "Go take your shower Lotte, Akko will be up soon." Picking up a bright pink vial, the witch knelt down in front of Akko, observing her features for a moment. Unceremoniously uncapping the poison with a thumb, Sucy held the vial just under the girl's nose, goading a reaction. Lotte yelped, escaping out of the room before she became accomplice to Sucy's crimes.

The vile fumes ripped through Atsuko's nose like wildfire, yanking the girl forcefully from whatever dream world she resided in. "Su-Ack!" A harsh cough racked through her, body rejecting the toxins violently. "Sucy! Are you trying to kill me?" The violent haired witch cackled, placing a gentle hand on the back of Akko's head, running her fingers through the tangles. "Why would I want to kill you? You're far too important to me for that."
Akko's cheeks puffed out, scowling despite the pink spreading across her face. Sucy's smile warmed, and she stood, trailing her fingers down across her shoulder before letting go. "It's time to get ready for class, I had to do something." Picking up her hairbrush, Sucy drew a circle in the air. "Turn around, that hair is like a bird's nest."

Gathering bundles of the chocolate hair into her grip, Sucy set out, meticulously removing each tangle with purposeful strokes of the brush. "You seemed to be having a good sleep." She observed. "We've been trying to get you up for ages." Akko attempted to turn her head to look at Sucy defensively, failing and earning a tug to her roots instead. "Ow! It wasn't that long! And I was dreaming of flying for your information." It was a wonderful dream: Soaring above the world on a broom all by her own power, Sucy's arms wrapped around her waist like always. "What about you? Did you dream anything nice?"

Sucy halted her strokes, nervously fiddling with the brown locks. "I can't really remember. It was nice though." It didn't feel good withholding information from Akko, but knowing about the dreams would only make their slow progress more unbearable.
"Done. Now you look less like you just rolled out of hibernation." Sucy dropped the brush down on the sheets, watching as Akko ran her fingers through her hair a few times. "Thank you Sucy!" The alchemist stiffened at the feeling of lips against her cheek. Akko was slightly pink as she pulled away, standing up and beginning to gather her uniform.

Sucy tried her hardest to fight the burning red creeping up her neck, holding a hand to her cheek where the brunette's lips had been moments before. Flashes of her dream played back in her mind, but she pushed it away.
'This pace is good enough. I'm just letting it happen. That may well happen some day, but not for a while.'

She hoped Akko's patience could hold out until then.


A/N: And another thousand ish words of fluff out of my brain hole. Unlike with the last fic, I don't 100% know how this whole thing will be structured, so I'm taking my own advice here and just letting it happen however it goes. At the suggestion of a reviewer I'm experimenting with spacing out my paragraphs to make it easier to read. Feedback on that would be appreciated!

Updates will probably be 3 or 4 days in between? I will write in between my failed attempts at Ornstein and Smough. (Sidenote: Duo bosses in Dark Souls are always the hardest ones.)

I thank you all for supporting my works! Tell me how I did!
