[ They're going to be here for a minute as he examines each of the trees. Midorima is the type of person to read the labels at the grocery store before deciding between brands, okay, this may take a moment. ]
[ Eventually he picks out one that he likes. What the actual criteria for this choice are is questionable. He imagines Takao would yell at him for making arbitrary choices and pretending like he knows what he's talking about when he's definitely not a botanist. Then he remembers that Takao isn't here and his gaze steels a little, but he doesn't let it out otherwise. He whole-ass picks up the tree by the pot to carry it. ]
[She's pretty sure that it was going to be pretty heavy, but then he looks so determined and maybe he was a lot stronger than she believed? He is a sportsman. His basketball was insane!]
If you need me to take turns in carrying, I can do as well. Let's go pay!
[Is he straining. Ah, he's straining. But he's so stubborn that she'll let this go and he can Win. Midorima...you're going to hurt yourself one day you tsunfool.]
If you are sure, I'm right here--
[Never mind, it's done! And she'll just step up to pay for the plant with her chroma.]
[ It's big! It's not like anyone wouldn't strain carrying a tree around, it's not exactly an evenly balanced weight or a basketball or something. Midorima's strong but this is normally something you would carry around with a dolly even so..
But it's not like they can take a cart home or anything and Midorima can't drive and doesn't have a car. ]
You're paying for it.
[ Even the store clerk is like 'what is this fool doing..' ]
[But she doesn't mind him carrying it either, since he's trying hard for his own gift! So as she secures her watch she watches as he picks up the tree and they were ready to head back.]

It's an impressive tree. And you're very strong.

[ ...His voice sounds strained though.
He's.
He's very determined. :| He's very strong, but it is still a tree. ]

But for now, he's considering it an exercise in weight-training. ]
I don't need you to carry it for me.
[ He wants the plant, he's taking the plant!! he does put it down on top of the counter once they get it though. ]

Of course, I said I would, no?
[And she starts asking how she can pay for it with her chroma, so Midorima watch them.]
no subject
Yes. I meant if you're paying for it, I'm carrying it.
[ He's being fair?? That's what he was trying to say. ]
no subject
Midorima, thank you!
[She looks so pleased. The shop assistant looks Confused.]
no subject
[ She's the one doing the giving here?? ]
no subject
[And paid for!] Let's go back.

[ He would just assume that it's his gift, so he's carrying it unless he needs someone to hold it for him for a minute so he can do something else.
In which case, that's Takao's job, but Takao isn't here.
So he'll pick it up again and start heading back. ]
