Kotone Noda (Sakura Trick)

You feel a peck to your cheek, pulling you from your sulking.

You look over to see Kotone bending over and smiling at you.

“Come on, guys! I need better ideas,” Haruka whines to the group.

Kaede hums, “have you thought about… maybe..”

Their voices drown into the background as your friends talk, but that’s mostly the fault of Kotone, who places a finger under your chin to turn your face toward her.

She contentedly gazes at you, quietly musing over what you could be thinking about.
