A/N: You may have already read this before I decided to change this from a oneshot, to a oneshot collection. Anyway, this takes place sometime after episode 8.

Akko was feeling a little nervous. Just a little, though! Which is not something she's used to dealing with. She usually just charges ahead, not thinking about the consequences of her actions in the slightest. Or, at least, that's what Sucy and Lotte scold her a lot for anyway. So did Professor Ursula, for that matter. And everyone else in Luna Nova except for Amanda and Constanze, since Amanda was what Lotte called an "enabler" and Constanze didn't speak. But that wasn't the point!

For once she was thinking about the consequences of her actions. And she had no idea what those consequences actually were, because she didn't even really understand why she was going to do what she was going to do.

During her time in Sucy's mindscape(Which she wasn't even sure if that even really happened, or if it was just a dream she had, but Sucy certainly acted like it had happened, so maybe it did? Magic was confusing!) she'd met the Sucy she ended up dubbing the "nice Sucy." who didn't call her names, and didn't try to main, scam, kill, or deal any form of harm to her on a regular basis. Instead, this sweet, little Sucy had given her flowers. She wasn't a flower expert, but she was pretty sure they were lilies.

That Sucy was just so sweet and innocent. You know, before absorbing a bunch of other Sucy's and turning into a monster, and then a dragon. But that had led to her telling Sucy she loved her. As a friend. Totally as a friend. At least she thought so. She did kind of think she and Sucy were done for, she just wanted Sucy to wake up and said the first thing that came to her head. Which was full of air, if you asked Sucy, so it probably meant nothing, right?

And so while thinking of all that, Akko found herself with a handful of white lilies clasp behind her back, trying to figure out why she was so gosh darn nervous about giving them over to her friend. She was just returning the favor the nice Sucy had done for her by giving her flowers. That was it.

But still, she couldn't help but think about Sucy's reaction to getting them. Would she deny that it had ever happened in the dream? Would she take it all the wrong way and their friendship was doomed forever? Would she laugh and say something mean? … well, that last one was classic Sucy, so she probably would, but still, that would kinda hurt Akko's feelings.

Akko shook her head. No, a Sucy gave her flowers, it was only right to give some back. She'd been in Sucy's head enough to know that no matter what she did or said, at least one part of her would be grateful. One part would care. And that was enough!

And with that, she banished the last of her nervousness and embraced her bullheaded nature and threw open her dorm room door, where it crashed against the wall with a resounding SMASH. Stomping in and looking around, she breathed a silent sigh of relief that Lotte wasn't inside, probably still out shopping for the newest Nightfall book, like she had for the past two days. Poor girl kept missing out on the last copy the stores had by just moments. Which she supposed was actually a good thing, what she was going to do felt to personal and embarrassing to do in front of anyone else. Instead, she found Sucy, vial of potions in either hand, brow raised at the interruption of her experiments. Or maybe both brows were raised? Akko could never tell with her friend's other eye constantly obscured by hair.

"SUCY!" She cried out, rushing over to the alchemist, before remembering her inside voice. Giving a little embarrassed cough into her fist, she started again. "Sucy! I'm glad you're here!"

Where else would I be?" The deadpan witch questioned. "This is my room, too. And I always experiment at this time of day." To prove her point, she poured a bit of the potion in one vial, a bright purple, into the other, a vile orange, only for the mixture to turn a glowing green. Akko hoped it wasn't radioactive. Unless it was the kind that gave her super powers, like those cool American super heroes!

Shaking her head in an attempt to focus on Sucy and not the glowing concoction, she brought out the flowers from behind her back and shoved them into Sucy's face. "I wanted to give you these!"

Sucy blinked a moment, her face blank and devoid of emotion. The longer she stared, the more Akko's nervousness crept back. Finally, the potion master set aside her concoctions on the desk, and took the lilies from Akko' hands, giving them a single sniff.

"This is... a surprise." This was the first time Akko thought she'd ever heard Sucy have a lack of anything biting to say. She wasn't complaining. "What are these for?"

Akko shifted her balance from leg to leg as she explained, "Well, remember that time I was in your head, which may have just been in MY head? Well, while I was in there I met this really cute little Sucy who gave me flowers, and that got me thinking, I should return the favor, you know? So I got you some lilies, just like the ones she gave me! That's okay, right?"

To Akko's surprise, Sucy smiled. Not a big, toothy, mischievous smile, just a small, regular, normal person smile! "Yeah, it's okay. Thanks for these. You know, lilies are my favorite flower." As she gave her thanks, she reached for an empty beaker, filling it with water and carefully setting the flowers inside it and placing it on the center of the desk.

"Really? I had no idea! I mean, I guess it makes sense, I saw them in your head and they were the only thing growing not mushroom related. Why are they your favorites?" Akko practically bounced as she spoke, excitement rushing through her.

Suddenly, the toothy grin she was normally accustomed to made it's appearance on her friend's face. "Well, mostly because white lilies like these are the kind that show up at funerals. One less person in the world to bug me."

The brunette just let out a quiet "oh." The bounce she felt gone.

Sucy's grin just got wider. "Hey, Akko, I'm kinda curious. Since you're from Japan and all, what's the word you guys have for lilies?"

Confused, Akko thought for a moment before responding, "Oh, the word for lilies is yuri. Why did you want to know?"

"Oh, no big reason. But I feel I've seen or heard that word before, someplace. I think on Lotte's collection of manga she thinks is safely hidden under her pillow. What's it mean in that context?" She took a step closer to the dense witch, watching her under half lidded eyes.

"Wait, Lotte has manga hidden under her pillow? Why would she be interested in- Uh..." Her face suddenly felt hot for some reason. She really didn't want to explain what Yuri manga was to Sucy, especially after giving her flowers. "I- uh, I don't know! Yeah! Dumb, airheaded Akko, can't even tell ya!" Thinking quickly to change the subject back to the flowers, and struggling because her mind was on just how soft Sucy's lips looked, she remembered something.

"Hey, wait, I've been meaning to ask you, what was the flower Sucy? You had an inpatient Sucy, a Judge Sucy, a Devil and Angel Sucy, a... Jewish stereotype Sucy? That one was really weird. But what was the little Sucy who gave me flowers? What Sucy was she?"

"Oh, her?" The slender witch smirked, drawing closer still to Akko, who was frozen in place, face getting redder by the second. She placed her hands on Akko's hips and pressed herself against her. Akko could feel Sucy's breath on her lips. "Well, I guess you could call her Yuri Sucy."

What happened next, only the flowers could tell. And they were keeping their mouths shut.

A/N: If I got anything about lilies wrong, blame google.

Episode 8 is basically what made me love Sukko. It was a funny episode, and had lots of great scenes. And Akko does actually tell Sucy she loves her, twice even, at least in the Dub(I haven't seen the Sub) right before she goes to transfer the potion via kiss, too.

I mostly brought up yuri as the name of lilies because I think most people forget that Akko is Japanese, and probably had to learn English for school. I also have a headcanon that Constanze doesn't talk much because she's both naturally quiet, and because she's insecure about how she sounds speaking English, with German as her first language.
