They were walking side-by-side. Close, yet to Sakura, Tenten felt far away. Sometimes Sakura wasn't sure Tenten did share the same feelings, regardless of their mutual confession months ago.
She stopped walking, but Tenten continued onward. "Tenten."
The elder girl ceased her stride and turned to look at Sakura. Her expression was inquisitive, even more so when she noted Sakura's bearing.
She was still and gazing at Tenten with an apprehension that reached every part of her features: her creased brow, emerald eyes, and lips that parted to say, "How do you feel about me?"
Tenten stared at her without the slightest change in her facial appearance. Then she paced toward Sakura until she stood before her. Her ungloved hands came up to touch Sakura's shoulders, and she leaned forward to place her mouth by her ear…
"Wo Ai Ni."
Sakura's eyes widened and her cheeks warmed to a rose colour. She didn't know what Tenten had said. It wasn't Japanese; but the way she said it, and the way she looked at her when she righted herself told Sakura everything. Her chest swelled with emotion and longing. "Show me."
Tenten leaned forward again, and did just that.
