[ He comes exactly on time!! For the luck, he will do this. Sen also isn't awful despite how he acts. He sees her and doesn't greet her or anything, he's just looking at her and approaching. ]
[Man, would she ever know that he thinks she's NotBad.jpg by the way he acts. As she sees him, she waves and makes up the rest of the way to get to him.]
[He's gentle and nice about this, that it was...well, it was endearing. She's caught by surprise at first, but at least manages to regain her composure.]
Oh my goodness, I didn't realise! We don't celebrate Tanabata or the Qixi festival personally, not through outside influences, but I have my own version of the legend too, Ngưu Lang Chức Nữ. I suppose we could share prosperity like this!
Typically, we would place wishes on bamboo trees but that doesn't seem to be a tradition here. Sharing prosperity by other means seemed like a logical standpoint, particularly since you're from another culture.
[ And he can't afford a freaking tree on his own... ]
[She'll find out it's his birthday too. One day. And get vaguely mad about it.]
Hmm...we can always go find a tree. We can always do this properly, if you have time. The red envelop from me, but a tree for you to celebrate and place wishes. It might help secure you a good year for basketball, no?
[Would he count this as something required? She's not sure how superstitious he is, other than very.]
[ Doan is really proving useful and generous, honestly. He may actually tell her where he lives at some point, once he's done being difficult so she doesn't think he likes her. ]
[ He follows her. He has no trouble keeping up since his legs are so much longer and keeps a side-by-side pace, though he doesn't know where she's going. He's good at keeping track of where others are going, at least, even if he makes efforts to look like he's not following. ]
[To the shops, Midorima! Or more like the markets. Something like this would be a bit more niche, so they'd need to go to specialty stores. There were talks of festivities, so she wonders if they could have any of that overlap.
She still quickens a little so he wouldn't have to slow down too much.]

[And ten minutes later, he'll find her waiting just there at the park office.]

Hello, Shintaro Midorima! I have your gift.
[OF LUCK. She takes it out of her bag.]
no subject
Then hand it over.
no subject
May you have good luck for the whole year.
no subject
..Thank you.
[ He's not going to be a brat about that. He knows when to appreciate when someone is doing something for him. ]
no subject
You're welcome.
[Fine. Giving him gifts isn't too bad.]
no subject
You really weren't aware of what today is?
no subject
[She tilts her head at the teen dad. Then it dawns on her. He was especially on edge about receiving gifts today. Cautiously--]
It's something important, isn't it.
no subject
It's Tanabata.

I've been looking for one, but I don't have the financial means to purchase one.
[ Buy him a tree, Sen. ]
no subject
Oh! I do, so I guess since I am feeling like I'm in a gift-giving mood, [Wonder why.] I can buy you one.
[Dammit Shinchan.]
no subject
I have no intention of paying you back.
[ He will, but he doesn't want her to think she's putting him in debt or something. ]
no subject
I think demanding payment for something that is meant to be tradition would incur a curse. Do not worry, I will cover the costs and want nothing back.
[She says this so easily, but the tone of her voice isn't her doting over him. It's simply someone chooses to do what she wants.]
no subject
[ Doan is really proving useful and generous, honestly. He may actually tell her where he lives at some point, once he's done being difficult so she doesn't think he likes her. ]
no subject
Let's go! We only have half of the seventh so, we'll need to hurry to get you your bamboo. This way.
[And she turns on her heel, waiting for him to follow.]

no subject
[ Midorima, unlike Sen, is thinking of a full-blown tree. He doesn't mind carrying around a 6' tree in a huge pot. ]
no subject
There is. Would you like a large tree?
[In which they just need to make a slight turn before the markets. She's still paying for it, no problem.
This boy sure goes all out.]
