`° Sakura Haruka

The greatest lesson you will learn is to love and be loved in return.

It's been three weeks since you and Sakura officially started dating, but neither of you has taken the initiative to show affection. It's starting to feel like a stalemate. Once, you tried to surprise Sakura with a kiss on the cheek, but he quickly pulled away and wiped his face. Since then, Sakura has been avoiding you, and you feel heartbroken and confused. You even think about apologizing to him. Maybe buying him a teddy bear or his favorite omurice from Tachibana's shop might improve things?

As you ponder your options, you suddenly feel two strong hands wrap around your waist from behind. Surprised, you look over your shoulder and see Sakura hugging you from behind, his face buried in your back. His ears are redder than you've ever seen them. He murmurs, "I-I missed you..." still hiding his face from you. The truth is that Sakura liked his gesture; he just didn't know how to react.
