AN: It took a while, but I love this chara. Just something about her loyalty that you gotta give props to. Plus, she's such a perfect accent to Sakuno. Go Tomo!
Innocuous Polygons

Chapter 3: Tomoka
Sometimes I want to throttle Ryoma-sama. He's just so oblivious, argh!
There Sakuno is, the cutest, sweetest girl in the world, and he plows by her, ignoring her presence everyday. It's painful to watch.
And frustrating.
She's never gonna muster up the guts to confess to him. I love the girl dearly, but facts are facts. Sakuno is a careful one. She'll pound every stone in place before crossing a bridge.
In other words? She'll die before she admits she likes Ryoma-sama. And that baka can't see anything else but tennis. He'll never notice how special she is.
She's content just standing in the background; feeding off any crumb of attention he tosses her way. But damnit, Sakuno deserves better than that.
Enough of this. I've had it. I'm not gonna stand by anymore. It shouldn't be any of my business, but I'm tired of seeing her all mopey. Sure, she hides it well, but c'mon, I've known the girl since grade school. She has got it bad.
I fall in and out of love all the time. Sakuno doesn't. That's why she plays it so safe. If he turned her down, she'd be heartbroken. So she simply won't risk it. I understand her, which is why Ryoma-sama has to be the one to make the first move.
And who better than me to be the one to give the boy a good swift kick in the pants? By golly, if she's not gonna grasp love with her own hands, then I'm gonna do it for her. What are best friends for?
So I have an idea.
Consider it a nudge in the right direction. Okay, okay, so I'm really just gonna force his hand. Honestly, she is way too good for him, but I want my Sakuno to be happy.
I'll get them together or my name isn't Osakada Tomoka, I swear it.
