You found yourself in a predicament: Shinobu's birthday is today, and despite your close relationship, she had never shared her personal preferences. After much contemplation, you decided on a classic gesture flowers and her favorite snacks. You chose a delicate bouquet of violets, agapanthus, and clematis, hoping they would convey your affection.

With the bouquet in hand, you made your way to her room. Through the slightly ajar door, you observed Shinobu gracefully feeding her fish, her movements serene and precise. The soft glow of the room highlighted her gentle features, and the tranquil sound of water added to the peaceful ambiance.

Gathering your courage, you knocked gently and entered. Shinobu turned towards you, her eyes widening in pleasant surprise. As you presented the bouquet, and her beloved Ginger Tsukudani, a warm smile spread across her face, and a subtle blush tinted her cheeks.

"Thank you, love... these flowers are beautiful."

Her voice was soft, filled with genuine appreciation. She took the bouquet, her fingers brushing against yours, sending a pleasant shiver down your spine. Placing the flowers gently on her desk, she turned back to you, her eyes shimmering with affection.

"You always know how to make me smile~" She murmured, stepping closer. Her teasing nature momentarily gave way to sincere emotion, a side she reserved just for you.
