Daisy chains. || A Kagehina fanfic

Every second

They walked back to the dorm building together that morning just as the sun had started rise. The air was slightly colder that morning. Winter had arrived a lot faster than they had excepted.

"Hey Hinata."
He hummed in response.

"Kaede, do you like her?"

He seemed daunted by the sudden question and slightly confused. The morning had been peaceful until that point. Now there was a sort of tension lingering around them.

"I mean I don't really know. She's pretty I guess. Maybe..."

'𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒.'
Kageyama nodded biting the inside of his lip. There was that aching pain again. The one he got every time he was reminded that Hinata was in love with someone else. He felt himself begin to cough and faced away from Hinata covering his mouth with his sleeve. Until he felt a warm hand press against his back.

"I'm not staying out late with you again if you're gonna get sick." He teased.

The warmth of Hinata's hand on his back seemed to put a stop to the aching pain in his chest. After that they continued to walk together until they reacher the dorms. It was Saturday so staying out late wasn't a big deal. They could just go home and relax.

Hinata decided to watch a movie whilst Kageyama went and took a nap. About an hour later there was a nock at the door and Hinata answered it.

"Good Morning!"
A chirpy voice called from the door.
"Oh hey Kaede."
He moved aside allowing her in and she set down a tray of cookies on the kitchen counter
"Luna made them."

He smiled taking a bite out of one of the freshly baked cookies.
"Yeah she's really good at baking."

Kaede set herself down on the sofa making herself at home. She grabbed the controller and started flicking through channels turning over the programme Hinata was watching.

"Come, sit."
She patted the seat next to her and Hinata walked over with a plate of cookies in his hands placing it in between them. Kageyama had already woken up and was well aware she was there. He tried his best to suppress the nausea he felt and walked to the kitchen to get a drink.

"Oh you're here."
The girl looked over at him raising an eyebrow.
"Uh well yeah I live here." Kageyama spoke in a sarcastic tone that seemed to tick the girl off. She moved the plate of cookies and leaned into Hinata's side placing a kiss on his cheek.

"I'm going to the library." Kageyama slipped on his shoes and left slamming the door behind him. He didn't exactly know why he was heading for the library but he knew he wanted to get out of there.

The cold air shocked him and he fell to the ground. Everything was starting hurt his chest, his stomach and his ribs. He used the brick wall to pull himself back up and ran for the bathrooms which were outside the library.

There was no chance of him catching his breath as he locked himself in a cubicle. Something was choking him from the inside. He was no longer throwing up flowers it was more like they were growing inside of him pushing their way out through his mouth.

It got to the point where he had to stick his fingers down his throat to rip out whatever was suffocating him.

A daisy chain.

Immediately he flushed it away. He didn't want to see the string of daises that had almost chocked him to death. He never wanted to see a God forsaken Daisy in his life again.

After that he stood up and stared into the mirror wiping away the small amount of blood from his lips. Then he headed for the library only to be stopped in his tracks.

"Out for a stroll are we?"

Kageyama checked his watch it was only 11:30 am. He looked behind him and Tsukishima smirked catching up to him.

"I was just heading to the library."
"Oh great me too."

The library was warm but Kageyama had to find something to do seeing as he wasn't there to study. He turned on the computer and almost out of impulse started researching Hanahaki symptoms. But no matter what website he clicked on they all gave him the same answer. None of them giving him the hope he was wishing for.

"What is your obsession with this Hanahaki disease?"
Tsukishima switched on the computer next to him. You could see the reflection of the screen is his glasses.

"Dunno i'm going now."
He switched off his computer and left. He didn't want to read up about his disease anymore.

"Whats wrong with you?" Tsukishima followed behind him but he continued to walk in silence never meeting his gaze. Eventually Tsukishima overtook him and started walking away.

"I have Hanahaki."

He blurted this out without thinking causing Tsukishima to stop in his tracks. It was silent for a second before he spoke.

"Don't be ridiculous thats a fictional disease." You could here the denial in his voice.

"Not for me."

He began to turn around and walk away again before he was stopped.
"If you really have that you need surgery you could die."

Of course he had thought about surgery. But every time he did he would always remember that if he went through with it he would be incapable of experiencing love again. Thats the reason nobody survives Hanahaki, they don't want to feel the emptiness of never being in love again.

"I'm not having surgery."
Before Tsukishima could respond their conversation was interrupted.

"Kageyama Shoyo's looking for you." Somehow Kenma had managed to spot him without looking up from his switch. He followed him to a cafe where Hinata was sat with three Hot Chocolates.

"Why did you leave Kaede?"

"I don't associate with people who treat my friends like shit." The all laughed and Hinata pulled out a chair for him to sit on. The three of them talked for a while.

It was nice.
Peaceful.

Thats how Kageyama wanted his death to be. There wasn't much time left before his disease took over. He knew that.

Every second he had left he wanted to spend with his best friend.
