7 with shigure? I just love gardens so much;;

Oh!!! I’m love!! I feel like Shigure would like gardening so I went there? Yeah? I hope this is alright;; ♡

Gardening is a lot more dirt and sweat than you had thought it would be. Shigure almost makes it look effortless - only almost because, somehow, there’s a smear of dirt right beside his perfect smile and his clothing is far messier than usual. Actually, it’s quite an interesting sight, to see him rooting around in the dirt as if nothing in the world could be more important.

It’s during your well-deserved break that you finally ask him why he wanted to do this with you of all people.

“Well, what do you think?” he replies, directing the question right back at you.

“Hm… Is it some sort of extra training? To build my arm strength or something?” You joking flex your muscles in an attempt to show off, making Shigure laugh, as intended. 

“I suppose that could be true, but… I simply wished to do something I love with the person I love at my side. Is that so wrong?” The shy smile he shows you makes your heart skip more than a single beat.

“Of course it’s not!” You exclaim with much more energy than you had previously. “In fact, we should do some more! Right now!” Somehow, that had been enough to thoroughly re-energize you, enough so that it felt like your insides are burning with embarrassment.

Shigure laughs. “Is that so? Then, let’s get to it.”

Somehow, the experience ends with more than a little dirt all over you and much more laughter, mostly on Shigure’s end, as you attempt to not wholly embarrass yourself. Of course, he manages to get you to promise to help out again, so you’d better practice for the next time the two of you would tend to the gardens.
