#1: not fine
When Ryuuzaki smiled softly at the guy who somersaulted into her as he eagerly gobbled up the dropped omusubi's on the ground, Echizen wished Osakada was there to see it.
She'd know then like he did that Ryuuzaki Sakuno would be fine.
She would smile bright for someone who was truly interested in her.
She would move on when she realized he just wasn't. It was as simple as that.
He shifted his gaze up, heart constricting as he thought about Osakada.
Someday, she would come around again like she used to.
Someday, she would stop distancing herself from them because of Ryuuzaki.
Someday, she would see that neither he nor Ryuuzaki wanted a relationship with each other.
Someday, she would pop back into their lives and smile bright and soft for him.
Someday, she would see that he wanted her to smile bright and soft for him.
Someday, she would be able to tell he was stuck on her; that he had always been stuck on her.
Someday, she would know that tennis balls jumped around in his tummy when she was around.
Someday, she would get that she was it for him; that she was the one; that she would always be the one.
Someday, she would realize that Ryuuzaki Sakuno was fine without Echizen Ryoma.
But Echizen Ryoma was not fine without Osakada Tomoka.
