[ Her heart swells with a complicated web of emotion — love, longing, things she's not sure how to define — when he kisses the top of her head. It doesn't seem like much, but in this moment, the two of them hidden away from the rest of the guests, it's a profound gesture.
Sakura pulls back after a moment, but only so she can take advantage of the fact that he's already bent down to kiss him properly. ]
