☀️Fuck it. Beach party☀️

I see a dear friend do this on ofmdtwt often and it inspires so many good feels so Imma give it a try.

If you see this, consider yourself tagged. Pick one, or three, or five or aaaalllll of these emojis and tag a dear ofmd fandom friend/moot/person you follow with a blurb about what you appreciate about them.

☀️🌊🪸👙⛱️🏖️🏝️🩳🩱🐚🐙🐠🐬🦀⚓️

Mine is in no particular order with a focus on the folks in the ofmd meta community, knowing full well I’m forgetting people rn 😭

☀️@naranjapetrificada your meta with an emphasis on healing means the world to me and is a joy to read. you’ve inspired me to be more vulnerable, own my story, and prioritize kindness

🌊 @averyhollow you are a fucking delight to talk to and I’m so grateful I get to talk to you of all ppl about our mutual love for Ouizzy. I love your mind and the creativity you wrangle into fun, unique, insightful fics and plots. You inspire me to follow my own creative pursuits. Easily one of my favorite people ❤️

👙 @careful-knives you bring so much richness and beauty to the dashboard! I love your taste in art and the meta convo we had left a huge impression on me! Love seeing you on the dash

🪸@napneeders every time you show up on my dash with gifs, meta, or random thoughts I do a happy dance. Every time I get a dm from you I squeal a little. I love talking meta with you and our dope-ass JimOlu AU

⛱️@uselessheretic you’re so fkn smart and cool. I feel like whatever I write here won’t do justice to how good your meta is and how much I appreciate your presence. I’m happy to call you a friend

🐚@biceratops7 we may not see eye-to-eye about ofmd meta or run in similar circles but I’ll never forget you being the first person who was willing to try and have a measured conversation with me over a contentious fandom issue where we stood on opposite ends. At a time where that felt impossible, this meant a lot.

🐙@midnight-laundry you are so bright and fun and you make me laugh so much! I love ‘yes and’ing’ situations with you and seeing what you come up with others on the timeline! Your last meta caught me by the throat I can’t stop thinking about itttttt

what happened to mc after that?? JUNGKOOK I WILL WHOOP YO FUCKING ASS

cold senior!y/n x stem major!koo masterlist :D

the aftermath of stem koo breaking senior!y/n's heart

"do you need anything from us?"

yoongi asks you for the fifth time in the twenty minutes you've been home, heart breaking from the inside out when you haven't moved a single inch

he is begging that the thing you need from him and jin is to go beat j*ngkook up

HE CAN'T EVEN SAY HIS NAME WITHOUT BEING ANGRY AT HIM!!!!!!!

anything. anything to atleast make you sleep in peace tonight.

or them honestly,, either way

your body's facing the backrest of the couch and maybe that's for the better, because that way, seokjin won't feel the need to cry looking at the coldest person he's known to be openly vulnerable

you're still wearing your jersey!!! your stained dirty jersey that you've been in for the past three hours and the reason that it's still wet was that you've been using it to wipe your tears all the way to the dorm

"no. i'll be alright."

you mumble for the fifth time out of the five times you've been asked, and yoongi just has to grapple at his fist because he knows that being frustrated wouldn't help

you are the fURTHEST thing from okay

to be honest, it was only a miracle that you told the two of them what happened in the first place

it was in between sobs that you asked them why they were friends with you and they couldn't be anymore dumbfounded

it was in between violent tears that you mentioned hyeji that seokjin looked for a box of tissues because you've been intentionally rubbing your eyes raw

it was in between heaving that you said that no one wants to go the extra mile for me that yoongi started holding your cheeks and trying to get you to breathe with him in his panic too

it was in between hiccups that you uttered that no one wants to walk me home and that's when both of yoongi's and seokjin's throats started tightening, the dots hazy yet aligning nonetheless

it was in silence when you told that jungkook said that no one likes me, and that's when out of the three of you in the room – you're the one who's the calmest.

"okay. i'll bring you a blanket."

yoongi leaves it at that, standing from his spot on the floor to walk over to the kitchen where the blankets cLEARLY aren't there

no one really prepared yoongs for this

no one really is

there isn't a manual on how to act when the dearest friend that you have is crying their guts out for the first time

he can't explain his close bond with you and he's always seen you as his platonic girlfriend!!! his platonic girlfriend who has a bond with him that's closer than a sister's, more understanding than a mother's, and the utter admiration more than a friend's

you r literally yoongi's (platonic) soulmate and he would die on that hill

he would rather subject himself to torture via having to stay in a freshman's dorm equipped with the de facto led strip lights everyday!!! every single day, than to see you like this :(((

"what do you have on the bitch?" yoongi doesn't spare his words when he sits on the kitchen stool next to jin's figure

the dude is sTANDING and that means business

jin doesn't feel a single ounce of regret fetching his work laptop and scrolling through the files and tabs he has on every single student on campus, eyes only looking for one lee hyeji that's contributed to your anguish rn

jungkook is atleast 3/4 in this equation and seokjin will get to him of course

no one makes his emotional support best friend cry and nOT pay the consequences for it!!!!

in another life, vincenzo cassano's character is based on seokjin and the events in his life that definitely happened >:(

"she's daddy's money. can't fucking believe that sHE'S representing the school," he sighs in genuine annoyance, but not loud enough to pique your attention as he turns the screen so yoongi could clearly see her headshots, "must be a diversity hire. every university needs a fucking bimbo, apparently."

you see,,, yoongi would've SNORTED at that but now is not the time!!! he is still planning discreet retribution to avenge you!!!!

jin lets yoongi look at hyeji's entire file, wanting to get even the smallest bits even if the information he's taking in is against his will

he'll immediately delete whatever he learns about her right after it's served its purpose

"just messaged the faculty groupchat," seokjin himself didn't imagine the words coming out from his lips determinedly, but he knows that he's willing to do anything for the sake of this, "been crushing on jeon ever since the start of last semester. philosophy professor thinks it's because he once saw jungkook lending her a pen when they were in the topic of soulmates."

jesus christ

now THAT'S just annoying ://

this

whatever this is

seokjin and yoongi don't know what they're digging all this information for

they don't know what this unspoken plan is for, or if they even have a plan in the first place

if jin were to tell the faculty gc about this???

absolute mayhem

but he knows for a fact that they'd hate star student jungkook easily within a tap of a finger

the philosophy prof would lose all sense of rationality and reasoning and INSTANTLY point to jungkook as an asshole!!! no questions asked!!!! no elaborations!!!!

"i could get jeon eliminated from all the academic listings he's in."

jin pipes in at the silence that he and yoongi share, both listless in this situation that they never expected to encounter with you

"i could always spread a rumor and make him unlikeable."

yoongi toys with the rings that he wears, a heavy exhale tearing away from him

they could think of a thousand other ways to get back at jungkook!!! they literally can

seokjin knows a contract guy who leaves shredded paper with his contract's initials written on red ink (for a base fee of three dollars, he can switch up the ink for you!!!) right next to their side on the bed

yoongi knows a guy whose modus operandi is to discreetly follow people, have subliminals playing in the background (for an extra fee of ten dollars, he'll use wireless bass-boosted speakers), and continue doing so until the desired message is achieved!!!!

none of the people they have connections to could employ the same amount of pain he's caused on you

there's literally nothing that could hit home with jungkook besides you.

but there's no way to do that and even in your state of anger and sadness tHEN utter vulnerability, you can't even really think of hurting jungkook in the way he did

because you know and yoongi knows and seokjin knows and everyone knows that you aren't the type to wish ill

you admit that sometimes you're unavailable but you don't want that to be an asshole-reason to make everyone else around you suffer in the same way you do

the people around you aren't your shock absorbers!!!! that's why you hang out a teddy bear on your doorknob when you're mad so that neither yoongi or jin would have the possibility to be caught in your rage

that's why you call for a break when your soccer team is out of their game and make everyone drink their electrolytes before they speak to you!!!!

that's why you have the old heart of your even older build-a-bear stuffie in your pocket, one of the only reminders that your childhood even happened, one that you'd squeeze between your fingers in any remotely anxious instances that you find yourself in

jungkook's words hit home and it put you into a spiral if you even had one in the first place

your parents divorced when you were young and it's just that,,, no one from the two of them wanted you because you were the reminder of the other parent

you're a place marker for when a commitment started and ended and god did it make you grow up quickly

your aunt raised you!!!! she's an angel and she's the maternal figure in your life that you'd always be grateful for

you love her all the same and as much as you didn't wanna relate yourself to your parents in the same way that they don't, the feelings of being unliked hit you ever so often

lol it's quite a dashing mindset you have but you can't see any other interpretation you should employ

you leave before they could leave you.

it's not really as dramatic as it sounds

BUT IT COULD BE

there's always obligatory groupchats for projects and you're the first one to leave it instead of awkwardly waiting out for the conversation to dwindle and then leave one by one

when you and yoongi argue, you leave before he attempts to get the last word in

when jin is about to ask if you want to split the bill, you're already putting more than half of your share on the table

it's a nagging feeling of not wanting be unwanted in every situation you're in, but you aren't all that sure of wHAT you'd do to be liked

the only thing you could think of are lunchboxes, and even that gets taken away from you.

does no one really like you??

you're shifting in your position before you know it and the lone sound makes jin and yoongs come to your side immediately, looking at you in concern

you're looking up and you could just fEEL your eyes are puffy and even the light's hurting them

"i need to sleep."

"o-oh! m'kay, sure. i'll carry you to bed, let's go," seokjin wastes no time in responding, about to hook his arms underneath you when you repeat yourself again

you only chuckle but it's the driest and most painful they've ever heard, wincing when they can hear how breathless it was

"no. i mean i need to sleep."

jin blinks once

yoongi blinks twice

right

they get it now

you don't want to sleep, and you really can't, but you need it

"i'll get it!!" jin volunteers to grab what you need, leaving yoongi with you

oh god you could fEEL that he's going to cry

what a big baby ://

seokjin comes bearing the joint :D

he's about to light it for you because he knows that three specific short hits would lull you to slumber then knock you out cold for like a day lmao

he minored in chemistry actually but he cAN'T explain shit on why that's your body's reaction

you're all-good for literally anything besides three short hits lmao

yoongi was about to scold jin because he lights it and tHEN he's the one who takes the first drag, but there's an assuring wave of his hand

how romantic

jin just blew you a heart

they can't get anything from you besides the slight crinkling from your eyes but they don't mind at all — your eyes are atleast one degree less sad

you take your turn and even pass it to yoongi but he rEFUSES,,,,, not the least bit dejected that he decided not to because he wants to watch over you instead and not see every inanimate object with cartoon eyes on them while watching over you

"bake her a cookie if in case she suddenly gets hungry in the middle of her sleep. sneak a carrot in it or something," jin reminds yoongi and he's sERIOUS about the recipe, holding you in tow as he makes the way to your room

yoongi's about to break out the bowls, freezing in his steps when he hears the doorbell frantically ring

oh god

the ONE time that they didn't plug the door with a wet towel and now it's probably the hall manager outside about to do an inspection

that is not..... the hall monitor

that is a fucking asshole

jungkook's been pacing on his heels, his knocking loud enough to wake up the entire hallway at this point

he's SWEATING and he's not even wearing his hoodie

the door finally opens and the words start tumbling out of his mouth

"good evening. i-i wanna explain myself and-..."

that is not,,,,, you

it's his senior that he's disrespected probably too many times

yoongi leans to the door, a sickeningly sweet smile on his face that the junior's never seen before

"you ever had a sandwich before, jungkook?"

"w-what?"

the younger boy stammers, his eyes following yoongi's actions of looking behind him out of worry and then going outside to join him by closing the door softly without noise

yoongi only snorts, not even sure if he's up for conversation

"hyeji's never packed you a sandwich before?"

jungkook pales at the mention, mouth drying when he sees yoongi bring up the soft smile that doesn't comfort him at all

"the one that's all knuckle?"

I don't want to contribute to you feeling low so I hope I'm not being confrontational saying this, but it makes me really sad when people call dan annoying, even as a joke. Why do it? People don't think that they're indirectly saying something bad about the people who relate to him and feel the same way as him. I don't know if I'm being too sensitive or whatever, but I'm really hurt by "mean" humour, it's not cool or edgy, and I wish people would be more empathetic and considerate.

i’m really sorry that i just Do Not have the energy / brain power to give y’all the answers you deserve rn but i am gonna do my best! i think in general the three of us are agreeing w each other— people responding to dan (moreso than phil, often because of dan’s edgier humor and branding i guess) are more likely to be rude than funny, and when it’s something like mental health even if dan’s trying to tell a joke i’d rather the people flooding his tweets weren’t even trying to walk that mean/funny line. i think there’s a difference between 1)dan tweeting about feeling like he doesn’t have a personality followed by someone’s response being “dan get a new joke challenge🙄” and 2)dan posting the minion ice cream instastory and someone responding “gross i hate him stop!” — and idk maybe there isn’t a difference, maybe it is all hurtful, but i feel like the first example is dismissive while the second is camaraderie, if that makes sense? in one we’re ridiculing someone practicing vulnerability (even through humor) and in the other we’re all in on the joke.

i don’t think you’re too sensitive, top anon, and i’m sorry you also had ruffled feathers, second anon— i think you gotta remember to curate your online experience. a lot of people on my dash were having really good takes about dan’s perception of self and how they also handle that and whether or not dan being blasé about it works for them, and those reactions to the tweet were really interesting and a far cry from some of the takes i did a little unfollowing because of, or the tweets i wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole lol honestly the tweets might be the worst part bc i like to read dnp’s replies but jeeze.... people really just be tweeting anything huh 😞

oh my goodness aldkfjd that makes more sense, i wasn’t sure if someone was just like “i can’t even, your opinions? narsty.” or what. well i’m feeling better than i was when i made that post (not entirely better, but much more so!) and i hope you are too💞

great way to finish off this ask roundup! thank you🥰✨✨🙌

36 questions that nobody asked me

(except @lollipoppedchainsaw )

(the 36 questions that lead to love or whatever) https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/no-37-big-wedding-or-small.html

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

I hate going out to dinner so much i probably wouldnt be able to enjoy it properly

2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?

It would be interesting to see what it’s like for a short period of time, but i’d never be able to keep it up; i’d probably have an identity crisis

3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

yes i have to mentally prepare myself 100% of the time

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?

hanging out with the people i love is enough to keep me happy for a good while tbh. sitting around doing nothing literally nothing with them is endlessly entertaining to me even though sometimes i might make that hard to believe

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?

i sing to myself a lot, not so much to others- although i AM a slut for karaoke

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?

body because i feel thats probably what old people complain about most. plus like,, 90 years of life knowledge? sounds great to me

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?

probably an accident that’s almost statistically impossible

8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.

single rn (ladies) but i usually try to find friends with similar music tastes because scream-singing in the car is the most fun one can have

9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

im most grateful for my dogs and for my friends! i love them and it means the world to me to have people that i can call family. also i would die without my dog juno, she is my rock (and my therapist)

10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Not rly how i was raised, but i wish i had a closer relationship with my older siblings. Three of them had moved out before i was rly old enough to not be an asshole child, so most of them still see me as an asshole child and they never take me seriously. im glad i have an alright relationship with them, but that’s kinda all it is and i know i could do better

11. Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible.

Lived in Texas my whole life yeehaw. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters; 2 of them dont like me, and my relationship with the other 2 is,, certainly not bad. Had a lot of physical and mental illness in the past, but 20gayteen is definitely my year, yeet

12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?

either speaking a different language or playing the piano. im very jealous of good piano players, and at some point i need to be able to speak a more useful language than french because so far in texas it’s proved absolutely useless (other than talking to my mom but that doesnt count)

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?

I’d wanna know wtf im supposed to do with my life because sweaty i still have no idea. passion? dont know her please introduce me

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?

i wanna go skydiving bitch, no one wants to go with me! pussies!!! the lot of you

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?

that one time i did an entire semester’s worth of work in the last three days of the school year

16. What do you value most in a friendship?

being able to put up with my huge fucking mouth. also honesty is super important, even if it’ll make me feel shitty

17. What is your most treasured memory?

when i went camping with a bunch of friends and they were bitter i got to be in the middle of the tent because they were all cold. either that or the time i was getting really bad sleep paralysis and @lonelywaterfall & @skity stayed over so my paranoia didnt render me completely useless,,, also the paramore concert lol ive never been more vulnerable in my life.

18. What is your most terrible memory?

coming out to my mom haha

19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

i’d go on a trip around the world to explore/to see a few people, and i’d put extra effort into my gender expression

20. What does friendship mean to you?

comfortable silence is my kink. also emotional vulnerability and SAD BOY HOURS we cant forget those

21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?

I’m such a slut for physical affection yall have no idea please hug me as much as possible and play with my hair or my hands

22. Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of five items.

i guess ill do the same with previous partners so.. i think being funny is probably the #1 thing i appreciate in someone. when you make me laugh so hard i cry, just know that’s like. peak. also stubbornness is strangely attractive to me, plus like,,, uh having an unexpected soft side? an appreciation of art is super important, too. also SPOON VERSATILITY.

23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?

it was probably happier than a lot of people’s but there wasnt much to it. plus being the youngest in my ENTIRE family really sucked during my childhood because everyone picked on me and i think that’s probably what started a lot of my issues lol

24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

better than it could be, but definitely not what i want it to be. we both love each other and i admire her work ethic, but she gave me a lot of anxiety problems (both genetically and not) and she isnt the most understanding person. i have hope though, people change

25. Make three true “we” statements each. For instance, “We are both in this room feeling …

I’m hungry and sitting alone in front of my computer feeling like OVERSHARING ON THIS BEAUTIFUL THURSDAY MORNING, BOYS

26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share …

many, MANY animals and a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere

27. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for him or her to know.

I’m REALLY insecure about my body xd

28. Tell your partner what you like about them; be very honest this time, saying things that you might not say to someone you’ve just met.

LOVE feeling safe.

29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

probably every time that i’ve ever worn a dress, because i really,, really dont like wearing dresses and that’s it

30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?

last cried by myself this morning and last cried in front of another person at my friend’s birthday party

31. Tell your partner something that you like about them already.

no partner but if youre reading this im rly proud of ur attention span. gj buddy

32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

i think most things can be joked about after a certain amount of time, but like,, it has to actually be funny and it has to come from someone i know isnt serious about it. if a joke is made just for the purpose of being offensive and edgy, it’s never funny no tea just truth.

33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?

i’d regret not spending enough time with people that i love, not traveling as much as i should have, and also i’d regret not formally coming out of the closet to my family (they probably already been done knew but like. yknow). i came out to myself & the people closest to me a LONG ass time ago, but i’ve kinda seen what it did to my immediate family so im not too excited to do that to my extended family. if i’m not too much of a pussy, ill probably do it in the summer when i see them next, bc ive been meaning to for a while.

34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?

is it bad of me to say my computer? i feel like everyone else has a much more meaningful answer lol. it would probably either be that or the papers i keep on my bulletin board, bc most of them hold a lot of sentimental value (also my prescriptions would be a pain to get copies of)

35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why?

either of my parents because i dont want them dying before i reach the point where i can expect them to be happy for me when i marry a girl

36. Share a personal problem and ask your partner’s advice on how he or she might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen.

personal problems? what’re those lmfao dont have any srry try me again later

i’m too much of a pussy to tag certain people so if you see this and I've had any sort of conversation with you, do it coward

(also @skity @drawinintherain )

Dianakko Week: Day 1(Late) “StarStruck Wishes”

A/N: Who’s late to Dianakko week?

…

Gomen… it’s meeee…. Sorry… might do back to back on one day to chase the time… but rn… midnight… need sleep.

I mean, I need to participate here, right? As a proud dianakko author!!!! Sorry for any typos, odd grammar or whatev… but please… do enjoy?

Thank youuuuu for 600 btw!!!!

~Shintori Khazumi

StarStruck Wishes:

“When you wish upon a star… Makes no difference who you are…”

A lone figure sat by the hill, basking in the dusk glow of the late afternoon sun, the first few twinkles, sparks of night lights shining overhead, adorning the girl with a floating crown of celestial bodies. An illusion, a magical one, made without the aid of magic, surprisingly. It was simply a deception by perception. And this perception just so happened to belong to one daughter of elegance, a six-year-old Cavendish child.

“Anything… your heart desires…” Red rubies suddenly flickered in the low lights, gaze boring into deep sea blues. “… will come… to you.”

Diana Cavendish was captured, enraptured, mesmerized. The beauty so ephemeral scared her, along with so few simple words.

“Yeah right.’ The other concluded before running, disappearing into the distance, a mystery of a sad smile painted on her lips.

“Wait-!”

---------

As sudden as the thunder crashed and the lightning flashed, so was the awakening of a young heiress, finding herself swiftly sitting up, breathing ragged and heart speeding up in its work. With wide eyes, she immediately made sense of her surroundings. She was in her new dorm room, the one she shared with her best friend, a girl, Atsuko Kagari for their senior year at Luna Nova Academy.

Having grown a bit too accustomed to the other girl’s presence, Diana now sought it, her hands blindly patting down the spot beside her on their shared queen-sized bed, frantic in her actions, panicking as she neither saw her companion, nor felt her presence at all in the room.

Needless to say, in her state of vulnerability, Diana needed it, needed her.

Despite all talk of best friends, and friendship and loyal camaraderie, there was no doubt in Diana’s young mind and heart that she hoped for more from their relationship. Something that could blossom. A romance.

But now, companionship and comfort of a friend were certainly things she needed, putting mushy thoughts aside. She just needed the simple knowledge that someone was there. Just there for her, by her side.

Especially after that nighttime memory- was it a memory? Or was it simply an uncontrolled form of imagination?

This… This dream. It recurred quite often nowadays. Supposedly not a frightening nightmare, nevertheless it haunted Diana all the same, even more than any terrorizing dream she’d had to date.

This past week, it lingered, a troublesome thought. Red, red, constraining eyes. They burned themselves into Diana’s memories.

She wanted to meet the girl, to take away the sadness and return the stars in her eyes. Diana wished to.

Yet she couldn’t. How could she? When she didn’t even know who the person was.

Weak and alone in the dark, the only lights being the flashing streaks of pure power and wrath of nature outside the window painted with the tears of clouds, Diana found her way into a fetal position, hugging her knees to her chest as she listened to the grand orchestra of midnight storms.

In her fear, she failed to take notice of the one she sought after, the brunette with the lopsided grin, walking into the room with- not one, but two mugs of deliciously comforting hot chocolate.

In her maze of thoughts, Diana jolted in surprise as she felt herself encompassed in the most soothing of embraces, warm and strong. Protective. Akko’s scent that could only be hers almost lulled Diana to sleep, along with her rocking back and forth.

Akko, having placed down the mugs, now held the shivering Diana, cheek rested atop the crown of her head, soft blonde curls tickling Akko’s nose.

“It’s okay. I’m here now.”

The words were all the reassurance Diana needed. That’s right, her friend was now back, and that consoling presence was all she needed.

“Mm.”

Feeling the smaller girl squeezing her tighter, Diana squeezed back, chuckling as Akko whispered little jokes into her ear, random words, nonsensical phrases. She missed the warmth as Akko created space between them for a few seconds, to pick up the mugs.

“Hot Chocolate?”

“Thank you.”

--------

Diana was incredulous as she was dragged down the freezing halls of Luna Nova at three in the morning. Yet, skeptical as she was, she couldn’t help but have fun in this turn of events- dashing down the poorly-lit corridors, hand held firmly in the person she most adored.

“Akko.”

“Hmm?”

“Thank you.” Diana squeezed the hand in hers, smiling back at Akko’s bright and cheery demeanor.

“Anytime for you.”

Her heart skipped a beat. Or two. Or three.

Luckily she could blame the redness of her skin on the evening chill that penetrated through their woolen blankets as they made their way outside, out from the welcoming doors, out into a field and trudging up a hill.

“Akko, what are we doing here?” Diana couldn’t quite help but ask, staring at the sturdy and reliable looking back of her beloved, the one who currently had her gaze to the stars as she shrugged.

“Maybe I just wanted to see some stars.” And there was something so interestingly familiar about the way Akko’s scarlet irises looked at Diana, the way they saw through her soul. “Thought it wouldn’t be too bad to let you tag along. I could use the company, if you don’t mind?” She finished, grinning sheepishly.

Oh, she certainly did not mind one bit, this Diana. In fact, she was overjoyed, truly grateful that Akko would try to do something like this for her to calm down, Diana knowing full well the smaller girl’s intentions despite her saying otherwise.

“Then I have no choice but to entertain you, isn’t that so?”

“Yep!” Akko replied, beginning to play along. “Thank you for gracing me with your presence, your excellency.” She bowed in a knight-ish manner that made Diana swoon, along with that carefree smile.

“Th-the honor is mine.”

Akko gave her a bright smile for that, and Diana’s heart lifted to the skies.

“Now, sensei!”

“-sensei?”

“Teach me about stars!” Akko grinned, offering a hand to Diana again, the other pointing out to the bright heavenly bodies. “And do it romantically!”

Diana choked on her saliva.

---------

One star-study session later, and Diana felt it was time to go back. They certainly couldn’t stay out here and fall asleep on this grass, as romantic as that sounded. Getting wet, sick and chilly didn’t bode well with the heiress.

“Come on, Akko.” With that simple enough beckoning, the brunette followed, entwining their hands, fingers locking securely around one another.

“Yes, princess~”

As they made their way back to their room, Akko escorting Diana carefully, giggling as she found the girl sleepy, swerving along the way, and blushing embarrassed, Diana knew she wouldn’t trade these candid moments for the world.

In the warmth and safety of their shared room, under the protection of the covers, Diana lay with Akko beside her, the latter reaching over to switch off the lamp in their room, all ready for bed.

With the lights out and the calm outside, Diana did her best to shut her eyes and slow her breathing down, though to no success. Trying to change her position, she still found herself restless, physically exhausted, but mentally active.

A hand wrapped itself around Diana’s bicep, calling for her attention.

“Can’t sleep?”

Simply nodding in response, Diana made a little squeak as she felt herself pulled closer, heart suddenly thumping in her ears, face and body heating up as she now lay flush against Akko’s body, her head on her friend’s chest, arms wrapped protectively around her, shapes being drawn on her back and hair caressed gently.

Her mind immediately relaxed. And then it happened. Akko opened her mouth.

“When you wish upon a star…

Makes no difference who you are”

Suddenly, Diana’s breath hitched in her throat, eyes widening, listening closely. This song, this voice. It sounded similar, only with the evidence of maturity.. but… no way… so many years of longing looking and… just beside her… how could Diana not have seen?

“Anything your heart desires

Will come to you”

Diana immediately felt the urge to see Akko’s expression, what spirit would show through her gaze, through her honest eyes. No wonder their redness was something to behold, so intriguing, so familiar.

“If your heart is in your dream…” Akko placed her palm against Diana’s heart, looking upon the heiress with a particular fondness in her eyes, a smile playing on her lips. There seemed to be a hidden message in these gestures. “No request is too extreme.”

[Even a request to be by your side forever…]

“When you wish upon a star As dreamers do”

Akko and Diana were certainly dreamers. And Diana wished that whatever signals she was getting, she hoped she was getting right.

“Fate is kind. She brings to those to love

The sweet fulfillment of Their secret longing”

Each word hit her deeply, engraving itself into Diana’s own being.

“Like a bolt out of the blue-“

Akko came into her life just like that. In an odd manner, but not unappreciated.

“Fate steps in and sees you through”

There was a pause in the air, the phrase left hanging as Akko gazed into Diana’s eyes.

“Tell me… Diana.” So close did Akko lean, forehead bumping against Diana’s, noses nuzzling. “What should I do?”

Diana replied:

“When you wish upon a star…” She breathed out. “What happens Akko? If I wish upon a star tonight?”

The smile that graced Akko’s lovely complexion was nothing short of breath-taking, glowing, shining like a star. Akko was indeed a star. And a dream. Diana’s dream.

“My dear Diana…” With her response in mind, Akko leant in close to Diana’s ear, kissing her cheek along the way, her voice softer than a whisper.

…

[“Your dreams come true”]

…

Diana wished upon the star. To give her her confidence. She was now ready to say it.

Hand on Akko’s face, she took a deep breath.

“Akko, I-“

THE END~
