It was...the big day. Someone that had managed to get close to him that wasn't Souji-senpai was doing something he never thought he'd see them do--they were getting married. It bothered him when it was announced months ago, and not because he disliked marriage or thought his friend no good for it

Sakura stopped where she stood, bouquet in one hand, the other braced lightly on his shoulder as he worked.
"I can hardly believe how fast today came around, can you?" She asked, smiling a bit sheepishly, but happy. What she was so nervous for she had no idea. She wasn't even the one getting married, she was just one of the bridesmaids!

"Uh...yeah. Kinda fast, huh?" He was also a little warm feeling, well aware that Sakura's hand was on his shoulder. Still, though, they were plenty close by now, he could handle something as simple as contact. His heart was beating a little fast as he worked on the loose bit, wondering if now was even a good time to say anything to her.
He would definitely not tell her that he kept this little bit loose on purpose in order to give the two of them sort of lingering moment together...

She probably wasn't even aware of exactly how close they'd become over the years, though (She didn't even use an honorific for him anymore, up till sort of recently that had been reserved for a small handful of friends, like Ino and Naruto.), just... so used to him always being there ( ... )

So deep in his thoughts was he that he didn't quite notice Sakura even speaking to him until he saw her trying to look at him out of the corner of his eye. Startled, he loops the needle a little too sharply and jabs himself in the finger.
"Tch! Dammit..." He looks down and places his finger in his mouth, nursing the little jab with a frown on his face. If his face wasn't red enough before, after embarrassing himself in front of her?
It was a bit redder, to say the least.

"Uh..no. Nah, just a little prick." He offers Sakura a reassuring smile, unable to properly look away from her. "Guess you should give it a look anyway, if you want."
He had something he really, really needed to tell her.

"You seem a bit more focused than usual... is there something on your mind?"
It wasn't uncommon for her to get lost in her work in particular when she was thinking about an issue, maybe it was the same for Kanji? She wasn't a mind reader, just making guesses, honestly.

"I uh, I like you, Sakura." Love was much too scary a word to say, right? Right.

"Kanji?"

"I wanna take you out on a date, or kick somebody's ass when they talk shit." Maybe break into an abandoned building and graffiti some stuff--not that..he wanted to do that.
Just an idea in his head, that last bit was. One he knew she would never want to do, and therefore it remained unspoken.
