Tashi doesn’t usually care for sappy, sentimental things. But, your existence calls for an exception. She’ll let you get the “silly” matching bracelets (which she not-so-secretly loves since she wears it all the time), the necklaces with each other’s initials, and everything in between.

She doesn’t admit it, but she loves that you want to have that kind of stuff with her. She’s always secretly loved that you bring out the softer side of her. She’ll never let anyone else see that, but with you? It’s like she doesn’t even know how to be the same dominant, aggressive tennis player anymore. You make her feel safe, loved, and appreciated, and that makes it easier for her to make sure you feel the same. It’s something she admires about you.

Another thing she admires about you is your fashion sense. You’ve always liked to incorporate bows into your outfits and overall style, and it’s something Tashi loves but won’t say out loud, since she doesn’t want (but really wouldn’t mind) to encourage you to try and incorporate bows and cutesy things into her outfits and style.

She knows that you most likely know (which you do) how she really feels about the cute bows you wear in your hair and tie onto your bag and clothes. Since you do know how she feels about them, you thought you’d do her a little favor and tie a pink bow onto the handle of her racket, right above the grip, before putting it back into her bag.

At her next match, she discovers the bow tied onto the racket, and looks for you in the stands. You make eye contact with her and smile, a small blush covering your cheeks. She smiles and winks back, making sure the bow is tied on tight so it won’t come off during play.

Afterwards, when you’re down on the court to congratulate her for winning, she confronts you about the bow. “I don’t remember asking you to tie a pink bow to my racket, babe.” She’s got a straight face, trying to seem all serious and unamused. You know she’s just pretending and isn’t actually mad or upset with you.
