(Diana x Depressed!Akko
Idk why but this idea just popped into my mind so I'm writing it before I completely forget lol)

(Diana POV)

There's this girl in my class who I've never seen smile.

And I'm always checking.

No one in school has ever heard her speak before, either.

I don't even know her name!

"Hey." I greet as I walk up to her in the library.

She looks up at me slowly, and offers me a small wave.

"Can I sit here?" I ask, gesturing to the seat next to her.

She shrugs so I just set my bag down on the floor and sit beside her.

"I'm Diana." I say with a smile.

She pulls out a piece of paper and a purple gel pen.

Akko. She writes, sliding the paper a bit so I could read.

"Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance." I internally face palm at how stupid I must sound.

Same here. She smiles softly at me, yet the smile didn't reach her vacant eyes.

"Would you like to hang out after school?" I ask, feeling am urge to spend more time with the pretty girl.

My place or yours?

"Yours. If that's alright with you." I say, biting my lip nervously.

She nods and grabs her bag just as the bell rings for our next class.

~~~

I wait near the front entrance for Akko, smiling brightly when I spot her among the crowd of students milling out.

"Hey!" I greet her brightly.

She waves back, a small fake smile in place once more that causes mine to become a frown.

Why was she so unhappy? Anyone could see it.

We walked in silence to her small apartment and walk inside.

There was a box TV, an Xbox 360, and a small blue sofa occupying her living room.

"Nice place." I say, glancing around at her filthy, cracking walls.

"Thanks..." she says quietly as my heart nearly explodes on spot.

Her voice was enchanting.

"I, um, uh..." I'm stunned, unable to come up with an intelligible response.

She giggles softly with a sigh as she plops onto her couch with a squeak.

"I know, my voice tends to put people off... I'm sorry..." she said in the same hushed tone.

"What? No! I mean, uh, I love your voice!" I say quickly, taking a seat beside her and turning to face her.

"Oh..." Akko said, nodding slowly.

I watch her as she fidgets with her hands, biting her lip as though she's deep in thought.

"Diana..." Akko says suddenly, turning her gaze to mine.

"Yes?" I ask, staring deeply into her crimson eyes.

"I..." she leans forward and my breath hitches in my throat at our closeness.

"Just... Thank you. For being my friend and everything." she turns away with a blush.

"O-Of course! You're actually really... cool." I said, though I could think of a million more words to describe such a perfect girl.
