A Special Smile || Diakko Fanfic

Chapter 11: The Trouble

Diana's PoV:
As expected, these questions given to us are difficult, but not nearly enough to the point that they are impossible to answer. I looked around the class and saw a few familiar behaviours; some are scribbling down the answers furiously, others are taking the time, while a few are quite...lost. Not that I blame them for being that way. As for me, since I've focused a lot during class, I managed to breeze through all of them. I would've given myself a pat on the back, but I couldn't do that just yet. My eyes slowly gazed towards Akko, who I assumed would be having a hard time, considering this is one of her harder subjects. But, astonishingly, she's doing it with a smile on her face. I was quite surprised, but I smiled to myself and thought "Do your best, Akko".

Akko's PoV:
I can't believe that I'm able to answer most of these questions. It was the same thing for the Magic Linguistics exam too. "The old me would've probably had a headache right now", I thought to myself. I can't help but smile at the thought of it. I wouldn't be able to do this without Diana's help. I'm gonna have to breeze through this and the broom flying exam so that I can take her out after this. I subtly looked towards where Diana is seated. Given from her expression, I'd say she's got this in the bag. Well, this is Diana I'm talking about. Anyways, only a few more and I'll be done with this.

After a few more minutes, the teacher instructed everyone to stop answering the questions and hand it in. Everyone complied and submitted their answers to the teacher. Diana waited for a while for the majority of the class to exit the classroom before going straight to Akko.

Diana: Hi, Akko.

Akko: Oh, hey, Di. What's up?

Diana: Shh, I thought I told you not to call me that in public.

Akko: Aww, but no one's here. Besides, even if there was, I didn't say it out loud so it's fine.

Diana: Akko, I know that but it's still in public. It's not that I don't like it...it's just a bit embarassing for you to call me that. So, please...you can call me 'Di' in private, alright?

Akko sighed and simply smiled at her girlfriend.

Akko: Alright, I will. I know how much you want our relationship to be a secret. I'll try to keep this secret as best as I can.

Diana: Thank you, Akko.

Diana kissed Akko's forehead, earning a quizzical look from Akko.

Akko: Hey, what happened to keeping it a secret and stuff?

Diana: Like you said, there's no one here. And even if they did see it, would people really believe them?

Akko: You hyprocrite...

Both of them giggled heartily at the situation.

Akko: Huh, I guess that's true. No one would really believe that the erudite top student of Luna Nova would be my girlfriend.

Diana blushed quite a bit upon hearing that.

Diana: N-nonsense, it should be the other way around. No one would believe that the troublemaker of Luna Nova would be my girlfriend.

Akko: Hey, I'm not a troublemaker...Well, maybe a little...

Diana simply giggled with Akko.

Diana: Oh, right, I forgot to ask you. How are the exams coming along? I hope you're doing alright.

Akko looked at Diana and gave her a thumbs up.

Akko: I'm doing great, thanks to you. I really appreciate the help you gave me before. I managed to answer my most dreaded subjects.
