Special Akko

>"Sushi! Sushi! Sushi! Sushi!"
>Sucy couldn't help but groggily wake up at the verbal assault
>turning to her right, she was once again greeted by the familiar wide smile of her unwanted ball and chain
>"Good Mowning!"
>Akko seemed to be filled with boundless energy, just like every day
>every single day
>she weakly attempted to smile back, hoping to unlatch her from her position
>much to Sucy's delight, Lotte called for her, and the japanese girl shouted a "Coming!" before dashing off
>the witch decided that trying to go back to sleep wasn't worth it, and started to swiftly get herself dressed
>it had been a little over a month since she had joined Luna Nova
>and a little over a month since Lotte had signed the both of them up for the Special Ed Assistance Program
>Sucy wasn't phased by it at first, despite how she never wanted to go along with it
>she had dealt with far worse then a slow kid back at home, so what's there to fear?
>the fool she was
>the rubber band ball of a girl was nothing but a chore to deal with
>she could only barely dress and wash herself, and just making sure she didn't get hopelessly lost in the halls ended up being part of a laundry list of duties
>the Finnish girl was simply too nice for her own good, and for Sucy's own good as well
>she would be lying to herself if she said that the little leech didn't grown on her
>but by god was she a hassle
>"Sushi! Come oooon, it's time for bweakfast!"
>shuffling over to the source of the faraway shouting, Sucy couldn't help but sigh
>if this is what being a parent was like, then she's getting her tubes tied as soon as she can



>"Sushi! Sushi!"
>sitting down at the table where Akko and Lotte were eating breakfast, she quickly began to wonder what she should grab herself
>"What do you want this time, Akko." she replied, only just barely managing to hide her grogginess
>"Wotte says that if I do weally good on my next test then she'wl buy me a new bwoom!"
>absolutely fucking wonderful
>the reason they keep breaking is because Akko can't be trusted with them
>so why is "Wotte" wasting more money buying her shit she'll most likely wreck
>not to mention that she's broken a bone every time she's tried to fly; a fact that Akko was happy to remind them of whenever she had a cast on
>she glared at the Finn from across the table
>"That's wonderful." she hissed out from between her teeth
>ignoring the hostility in her voice, Lotte herself spoke up
>"Yep! It's going to be custom made to absorb shock, so if she crashes while she's trying to fly it won't snap!"
>while that put one of her worries to rest, there was still the problem of keeping miss special ed alive
>deciding not to press the issue at the moment, she got up and started walking towards the collection of various breakfast items Luna Nova set out every morning
>just another day in the life of Sucy, she supposed



>"Sushi! Sushi! Wook at what I fownd!"
>shifting slightly from her seat at her lunch table, Sucy tried to put on her best faux smile
>Lotte said that she needs to be more friendly with Akko, but she didn't see any reason why
>the little bugger did nothing but poke in things she shouldn't
>"What is it, Akko"? she replied, trying her best not to show the irritation she was feeling
>"I fownd it! I went and fownd it all by mysewf!"
>Sucy's eyes went wide
>in the slow girl's hands was a squirming, thick, very toxic worm
>Sucy could barely even speak as she grabbed it off of Akko and desperately put a nearby metal trashcan over it
>running over to the unfortunate young woman who brought the worm in, she quickly inspected in her hands
>they were ruined; welts had begun to accumulate on them, and they were beginning to turn purple
>"W-Why did you think it was a good idea to carry that with your bare hands!? Why would you bring it inside!?" she shouted, sick with worry
>Akko could only give her a blank stare as the alchemist continued to ramble, but she was clearly feeling a bit distressed from her tone
>and oddly enough, didn't even seem to notice her wounds
>Sucy noticed the tears beginning to form in the special ed student's eyes, and sighed
>"Lets... just get you to the infirmary."
>"Where did you even get that thing, anyway?"
>looking back at the witch with a smile on her face Akko replied:
>"I was sitting out in the fowest wooking under wocks, and I saw it! I bwought it back 'cause I thought you would wike it!"
>the special girl was surprisingly on point; if she managed to grab it before it was confiscated she could make any number of potions with it
>Sucy gave Akko a smile, and a genuine one at that
>"Thanks for trying, I guess. Maybe I'll bring you along with me next time I'm looking for ingredients if you want to help me with that kind of stuff."
>Akko's smile went even wider
>"Yay!"
>leading Akko to the infirmary, she knew that it was going to be an eventful day



>Sucy was exhausted
>her teachers seemed to be especially wary of her for the past few days; putting her in a bad position to expereiment
>which was odd, since she had only eaten one kitten in front of the class, and only because she didn't think they were looking
>just one, it wasn't that big of a deal
>but despite the drag, she pressed on and the day was finally over
>laying comfortably in her bed, she began to open a tome she snagged off the library's forbidden section
>or at least she tried to
>"Look at this, Sushi!"
>it was Akko, apparently desiring to show her another thing she picked up off of some filthy floor
>after the worm incident earlier that week, she was almost scared to look
>but when she did, she was pleasantly suprised at what she saw
>"it's a dwawing I made of me and my two bestest fweinds in the world!"
>in Akko's hands was a piece of paper scribbled upon with multicolored marker
>taking it from Akko's hands as she inspected it, she couldn't help but smile
>upon it lie crude illustrations of her, Akko, and Lotte; with some other acquaintances in the distance next to a simple interpretation of the Luna Nova building
>all of them were smiling widely, even the tiny Hannah and Barbera, which surprised Sucy considering how often they mocked and teased the poor girl
>"It looks great, Akko!" Sucy said, taking on the tone of a doting mother
>"I'm gonna show Wotte this as soon as I can!" the disabled girl beamed, taking the illustration back before quickly running off
>Sucy told her to be careful as she sprinted, reopening her book as she began to quietly read
>despite how hard it could be, she couldn't help but feel a bit glad that she knew Akko
>she was a boundless source of innocence in her life, and Sucy couldn't deny how nice it felt to get a genuine loving hug or to be told how amazing you are by someone who looks up to you
>she was a nice kid, and she could at least appreciate that
