Diakko- magical love

Chapter 7: Love?

Diana

"I love you...m-more than a friend."
Akko's words keep on repeating themselves over and over in my head. She just said she loved me.... I'm sure she didn't say it..did she?
" um..... I said... I love you." Akko blushes and looks down clearly embarrassed. Wait she did say she loved me. This is a dream cone true, the girl I have loved for so long has finally returned my feelings.
" I....I don't know what to say." I say flustered. I reach out and grab the flowers. They're so beautiful, and one of my favorite flowers, roses.
" It's fine with me if you don't feel the same way, I wasn't even sure how I felt before but now I see Diana that you are perfect for me and I really love you." Akko runs up to me and gives me a warm hug. I hug her back and whisper in her ear.
" I love you too Atsuko. "

" cute, you two are now Mt favorite customers." The employee from early says. Akko and I blush madly remembering that we are in a café and all the people in here just witnessed our love scene.
" Um let's go somewhere else." Akko
Suggests.
" yes let's."

Akko

Wow I actually told Diana how I feel. Honestly I was prepared for a rejection from her. She's so noble that you wouldn't even think she'd be interested in me.
Still...I'm so happy, the last time I told someone they loved me, they never spoke to me again. Now that I look back on that memory that was really sad. I wonder when Diana and I will have our first kiss? AH! no Akko you just told the girl your feelings and you're not even her girlfriend yet!
Diana and I leave the café and walk through the nearby park. I take a seat on the bench and Diana joins me.

" sooo... Do you like the flowers?" I ask stupidly.
" oh... Y-yes I love them." Diana stutters back.
" Why do you love me Akko?" Diana asks me looking down at the flowers.
" I'm not the best person to love, I have a noble background so our relationship would never be perfect, I'm too serious all the time, I'm just not perfect. " she tells me.

" hah, you're perfect for me Diana, you're sweet and beautiful and really fun to be around with. I love you for you why else would I tell you how I feel?" I say to her.
Diana sighs.
" I've had a crush on you for a while Akko... Ever since I first laid eyes on you I knew I would grow to live you." I can't help but blush.  The girl that hides how's she's feeling is now pouring all these emotions onto me and I'm enjoying it. For some reason it makes it feel like Diana's more human, no one can compress their emotions forever.
" I guess I might as well tell you when I first had a crush on you. It was the day after we stole from the kitchen.... I realised then I really liked your company and as the days progressed u realised it was more than that."
Diana smiles at me.
" this just all seems too good to be true, I think we should get back now and get some rest Akko. Lunch with you has to have been the best lunch I've had since... I was young." Diana says.

"Yeah let's get back."

*time skip*

Diana

I turn my head to the side and see the roses Akko gave me lying on my bedside cabinet. I touch on of the petals and smile. I'm so happy that I don't even know how to act. I've never felt like this before.
Right now I'm in my dorm room with Lotte, Akko  and Sucy have been gone for a while and I'm getting a little concerned, they've got 5 minutes until they need to be back in here.
With that test tomorrow I've been studying and going over all of the topics. I really want to practice my spell casting, so I might do that on my checks that everyone is in their dorm.
" who got you those roses Diana?" Lotte asks me pointing to them.
I blush still remembering how she gave them to me.
" oh A-akko gave them to me." I say stuttering.
" wow.. Akko doesn't usually spend money on just anyone, you must've really won her over." Lotte tells me smiling.
" yeah.. I guess I have."
I mumble.
