What is the occasion?
[ Japan does this but white envelopes, and typically at New Years or weddings... He needs to know how deep Tsumugi's Top 10 Anime Betrayals goes with telling people his birthday... or if this is just a coincidence. ]

[Luckily, a coincidence! Unluckily, no context theatre may be a risk. We'll have to stay tuned.
And really, these envelopes work then too. The most versatile gift, and who doesn't like straight money?]
A surprise.
[If in her normal voice, the slight amusement in it would tell him that even this serious soul is trying to joke that there is no occasion. Too bad this is text.]

What are you looking for in exchange?
[ He's going to trust Sen one of these days.. ]

[ it's no secret to midorima that tsumugi's been slaving away in the kitchen since waking up on this blessed day, but hopefully midorima's wise enough not to come in for the rest of the day. the guy claims that he couldn't cook anyway, so there shouldn't be any reason why he'd barge in to his own surprise...
or maybe tsumugi's that much obvious. he did kind of spoil it to yusuke during their stargazing, after all.
once he's finished his business, he immediately sends a text to the birthday boy, wherever he is right now: ]
Midorima-kun! Whenever you're free, could you drop by in the kitchen for a moment? There's a big surprise waiting for you! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
[ or at least pretend to be surprised. tsumugi's using kaomojis here, for crying out loud. ]

[ Midorima started off his birthday getting ambushed and invaded by Eichi and his whims. One thing that Tsumugi may have noticed was the addition of a grand piano to their living area. He wouldn't fess up how he found out about Midorima's birthday, but Midorima partially suspects Tsumugi.
Thankfully, Tsumugi does have some leeway as he's the person Midorima gets along with best, whether his suspicions are true or not. He'll deal with Eichi in his own way. ]
Maybe.
[ Despite that, it's not like he's.. far. He's already come home since he can't really afford to do much and is having the worst tsundere relationship with this piano because he wants to play but he doesn't want to give Eichi the satisfaction. So he ends up peeking into the kitchen after a few seconds anyway.. ]

Oh, it's because of our post.
I'll accept then.
I'll accept then.
No.
Give it to Aoba.
[ He can probably be convinced to stop being a butt with one push, ofc. He's just being a pain. ]

[ tsumugi did notice the grand piano in their living room earlier, and it didn't take too long for him to figure out who sent it. after all, he did let it slip to eichi just a while back, and even now his old friend would still be rich enough to be able to afford such things to potential friends.
even now, money still makes a difference. some things just never change.
but anyway, midorima will see a certain mophead tying his hair back in a ponytail, wiping his hands on an apron before applying the finishing touches of his gift for his roomate: a plate stacked with little cakes, dusty with sugar powder, and some bowls of steaming red bean soup.
tsumugi looks up and catches his eye, and flushes a bit. ]
Oh! Um... Happy birthday, Midorima-kun! ♪

[ Only for luck and only if he thinks it's part of doing everything he can. In this case, he wants to see the worth of this red envelope as a lucky item. ]
10 minutes.
10 minutes.
omg i think my email archived the notification for some reason wtf...

[ Though in this case, Midorima only accepted the gift because Eichi stopped being pretentious and gave him an honest answer about what he wanted. It was a selfish enough answer Midorima didn't think he was lying, which was why he didn't object to their home being invaded by the piano. Much. He allowed it to happen, anyway, instead of calling the police about a blonde home invader.
While he likes the piano, Tsumugi certainly has the more meaningful gift. There isn't much Midorima loves more than a good bowl of oshiruko, and fresh made just like home is just about the best birthday gift he could've received. It's not a competition, but if he had to name a winner, Tsumugi would get it this time. This was the most thoughtful thing anyone had done today. Midorima actually looks a little awkward about it, getting very quiet instead of making a sharp or coolly stated reply like he normally would. He turns his gaze to the side a second after Tsumugi catches his eye, reaching up to push his glasses up his nose and clear his throat. ]
...Thank you.

[ tsumugi would've believed him if eichi did break into their place at some point; his classmate after all has done many an attempt in the tenshouin household, after all. it's certainly very feenay for his old friend to try out his unitmate's own tricks.
but anyway, midorima's kind of cute like this, and tsumugi's smile becomes brighter as he ushers him towards the table. the guy didn't even smile himself, but it's certainly a more understated reaction that tsumugi would welcome nonetheless. he has that way with tsunderes, what can he say. ]
You're welcome. I did try to make a traditional birthday cake but I was afraid of messing up, so I made something smaller. I did buy a birthday candle, though. [ it's on the counter. ] So I made something that might remind you of home? At least it does for me... zenzai is actually my favorite food, and it's easy to make, so...
[ he's fidgeting. it's a nice gesture and all, but the question is: do they taste good? he'd done his best in following the recipe and everything. ]

Oshiruko is my favorite.
[ Despite that Midorima will never admit that he likes anything, he can be flat-out childish about how much he likes oshiruko. Zenzai is almost the same thing, except for how the beans are prepared. Either way, he's going for it almost immediately. He came into with a case of the canned stuff that he has safely stashed in his room that he's been rationing out, but if he can get Tsumugi to make him this regularly he'll be a happy camper. He might have to give Tsumugi one of the cans later as a thanks. (Or more like leave it in front of his door and not say anything.)
No seriously, he'll eat this like. Every day. He'll eat it cold during the summer. In cans, instant, whatever. He probably eats everything else like a bird because he's stopping my vending machines for oshiruko cans all the time back home... (Straight up, his nendoroid even comes with one) ]
This was the superior choice.
[ He's just going to help himself to the soup now. He'll get to the cake, he just. He loves. His tanuki tail is swishing back and forth behind him. ]
