Amanda's POV:

Akko has been going all lovebird on Diana. That's all she ever seems to talk about. Diana this, Diana that, I wish Diana this, I wish Diana that. She would just go on and on about how beautiful, talented, and smart she is. But she never found the fucking courage to ask her out! I grew tired of this, I went over to the red team's dorm and was about to kick down the door until I heard someone playing a guitar and singing.

"YOU'RE GOING TO SING THAT TO HER!!" I said as I burst through the door, revealing a wide-eyed frightened Akko. "W-What?! I can't do that!" She protested. "You can and you will. I already signed you up!" Akko groaned and facepalmed onto her bed.

"Trust me Akko. She'll figure it out." I said smiling at her. She lifted her head and nodded, giving me a big bear hug and continued to write her song. I'm sure hope Diana figures it out.

Akko's POV:

It's the night of the magic talent show. Everyone was here, especially Diana. Amanda had insisted that I sing the song, but to be honest she's the only one that's heard it. I don't like singing in front of people because it makes me insecure about how I play and sing. But if this is my one chance, then I guess I better suck it up and find my courage to do this. Also Amanda said she would kick my ass if I croaked or chickened out.

"Next up, Akko Kagari!"

Time to shine. I walked to the center of the stage and sat down on the stool chair that was left there. "I wrote this song for someone I love, I hope you guys like it." I hesitated at first, but then looked at Amanda who was giving me a thumbs up with one hand and a fist with the other. I chuckled, then gulped, then started to play.

Well, I said
There's nothing like your smile
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
I said
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feelAnd I knew
Whenever you get bored
You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans (Just roll with it)
And I noticed
That you still fill out the quizzes
That they put in those teen magazines (Just roll with it)But I kept it all inside my head
What I saw I left unsaid
And though I wanted to
I couldn't talk to you
I couldn't find the way
But I would always say

I took a breath and looked at Diana who seemed shocked and amazed, I smiled and continued.

If I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her
How she's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could tell herI thought
You looked really pretty, and also pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair (Just roll with it)And I wondered how you learned to dance
Like all the rest of the world isn't there

I looked over at Diana again who was blushing, and smiling at me. I smiled knowing that she might be getting it.

But I kept it all inside my head
What I saw I left unsaidIf I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her
How she's everything to meBut we're a million worlds apartAnd I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell herIf I could tell her
But what do you do when there's this great divide?You just seemed so far awayAnd what do you do when the distance is too wide?It's like I don't know anythingAnd how do you say
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love youBut we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could... tell her

Everyone stood up and clapped for me and I smiled and took a big bow. I looked around for Diana, but couldn't find her. I grew sad but I still smiled and waved goodbye and headed back stage then to the bathroom. Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Diana's POV:

After hearing Akko's last verse, I covered my mouth as tears started to roll down my face. I excused myself from my friends and headed towards the hallway bathroom and cried. Not because of sadness, but because of happiness. She did that for me, I know it had to be me. No one else knew that about me but her.

I was about to get out until I heard footsteps heading towards the door, I hid in one of the stalls and heard voices. "Oh come on Akko, it wasn't that bad. You did great and you didn't croak or chicken out." I heard Amanda say, followed by a light thud. Most likely a small punch in the arm. Akko sighed, "She left, that tells me she doesn't feel the same way, she must've got it. Now I have no chance. Just plz leave me alone, I-I need some time to think."

I felt my heart break at the words that slipped out of Akko's mouth, that came from her heart. I waited for Amanda to leave then I opened the stall door, startling Akko leaving her wide-eyed. "D-Diana?! W-What...H-How much did you hear?" She said with shaking breath. "Every word... Every beautiful word. You wrote that for me?" I asked her, she slowly nodded as I could see the blush rising to her face.

I chuckled and kissed her cheek, "I love you too." Akko gave me a shocked and happy look as she hugged me close, "I'm not afraid anymore." She said and I smiled and kissed her forehead, "I'm glad." Akko lifted her head and smiled, "I'm glad I was able to tell you." She then kissed me softly and I smiled into it, kissing her back.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY 🦃🍁🍂🍽🥂
