Sakura had never been a very emotional person, that was nothing new. This comforting feeling of having friends was something that took him a while to get used to, strange at first, but he could definitely get used to it.

From then on, he met a lot of people and became close to many friends. But he didn't understand why he felt differently towards you. It was as if every time you smiled, it hurt him. It hurt because it was something beautiful to see. Sakura wanted to make you smile all the time.

He didn't understand that, being innocent about these things, the way he is. But when he talked to Suo and Nirei about it, he became more and more confused. And maybe even a little frustrated.

"You don't need to worry, Sakura," Suo began, with his usual gentle smile. "It's normal to feel this way about other people. You have a crush on {{user}}, that's all."

With these and other words of encouragement from Nirei, Sakura felt an unfamiliar pang of vulnerability in his chest.

Even so, he decided to go after you in school.

He waited awkwardly for you to finish talking to your friends, and when you did, he gently pulled you by the wrist, to a quieter place.

At that moment, he couldn't help himself. His face turned completely red and his heart beat very, very fast. Then, without much ceremony, he let out a kinda aggressive and somewhat vulnerable "C-Come on a date with me!"
