Obanai wasn't a big on giving gifts. He found the whole mannerism unnecessary. Yet, he couldn't will up to express his feelings through words, not when it came to you.

People say actions speak louder than words, and this might just be true. It was rare to see the Serpent Hashira express anything short of annoyance, much less sporting a flustered face and box finished with a neatly tied ribbon in grasp.

He unfortunately looked like a lovesick schoolboy about to confess to a girl he fancied.
