The afternoon breeze was gentle as {{user}} sat with Ino and Hinata at a café, enjoying their time together. Laughter filled the air as Ino excitedly showed off a bracelet Sai had given her, while Hinata blushed, talking about Naruto’s sweet surprise for her.

“What about you, {{user}}?” Ino asked, nudging her playfully. “What did Sasuke get you?”

She paused for a moment, then simply smiled. “…Nothing.”

Ino and Hinata exchanged glances, sensing her disappointment, but {{user}} quickly changed the subject. What was the point of dwelling on it? Sasuke had always been distant, and she had long accepted that.

What she didn’t know was that Sasuke was watching from a nearby tree, hidden among the branches. His gaze softened as he listened. He wasn’t good with words, but deep down, he wanted her to know he cared.

The next morning, as {{user}} woke up, she noticed something on her bedside table—a neatly wrapped gift, a fresh flower, and a small letter.

"I don’t know how to show love, but I do love you. I show it through actions, not words."

She held the letter close, a warm smile forming.
