[Her cheeks are so red that the color has spread to her ears, and that's to say nothing at how she squeaks faintly when she feels someone touch her knee. A quick check over the curve of the pillow reveals it's Oda, and really, both of them saying these things--

It's not fair.]

... Mmhmm. [With a hum, Sakura slowly divorces herself from her pillow, trying to look less nervous about this entire thing. It's obvious she's not unhappy; just embarrassed and still sorting through the initial whiplash of her emotions.]

I... I mean. [Picking at her fingers, she glances shyly from the corner of her eyes] Of course I like you both. I just... never thought anything would come of it.

[it's strange to think she's... gotten so lucky.]

[Sakura being just unhappy and not upset is a good sign. Sakura returning his feelings is a great sign.]

So, I like you both, and Sakura likes us both, and Odasaku...

[He agreed to date them if Sakura was okay with it, but with Oda Shuji can't be sure if that's an admission of feelings or just going along with what makes them happy.

Now his attention is turned on Odasaku. He bumps his shoulder against his possible-boyfriend's, waiting to hear a confirmation.]

Isn't it obvious...?

[ odasaku turns red in embarrassment over having the attention focused on him, blue eyes averting both shuji and sakura. the hand on her knee retreats to his own lap, tapping out a rhythm out of nervousness.

it'd be silly to say that he hadn't thought about this situation a couple times at least. it's an easy solution for when you have two crushes but all of those times were only daydreams. now that they're reality...it's suddenly a hundred times more difficult.

but, after a while, odasaku manages to find his words again and he nods. ]

I've liked you both for a while, now. I just didn't think...this would be anything more than a dream.

[Shuji is... far too brave, in some ways, having been bold enough to ask both of his crushes out. That's something Sakura doesn't think she could ever do.

It's why her smile is soft and empathetic at Oda's reply -- she gets it. A happy ending doesn't seem possible even when it's staring you in the face.

So she when she leans in to kiss Shuji on the cheek, Sakura nods in Oda's direction, indicating Shuji should kiss their silly boyfriend for her]

[Shuji's cheek is red where Sakura kissed it. Luckily the other cheek is red, too. It'd be silly to only be blushing on one side.

He understands the meaning of Sakura's nod, and so he lays a kiss on Oda's cheek, since she can't reach him herself. A domino effect of kisses.]

You're amazing. Both of you.

[He loves them so much. It's not bravery to confess to them both - he just couldn't do anything else.]
