Shirabu had been back at school for 3 weeks now. Meaning he had 7 months left. Within those 3 weeks of school, Shirabu found himself having to rush to the restroom almost 4 times a day. Thankfully no one saw any petals.

His stamina was getting worse and although it wasn't all that noticeable, he knew that would soon change. At this rate, he might have to skip practices. Which did not sit well with him, mainly because he knew his coach would go berserk.

Shirabu began his walk to school feeling someone close behind. He turned to look but there was no one behind him or even near him. That's when his head came to one conclusion, and one only.

"I know your there Tendou." He said as he stopped to wait for the red-head to come out. Tendou came out from behind a bush, brushing the leaves of him.

'Weird' Shirabu thought as the older male hopped over to him happily.

"Good morning Bubu." Tendou said.

"Why were you hiding in a bush?"

"I wanted to sneak up on you." Tendou lied. He in fact wanted to spy on the copper-haired boy. No reason in particular besides the fact that Tendou is good a figuring out when people are hiding things. And he knew for a fact Shirabu was hiding something.

"Yeah, can you not do that? It's weird." Shirabu said bluntly as he started walking to school, now with Tendou.

"Weird equals fun."

"With that logic, you'll end up in jail."

"Who's to say that isn't the plan?" Tendou joked although Shirabu didn't find it funny. He hardly found Tendou funny, but no matter what the red-head had his respect.

They both walked in silence for a while until Tendou broke it.

"I'm going to ask you something and I want you to answer truthfully."

"Better not be a weird question," Shirabu responded. Tendou nodded and then stopped walking.

"Your still not feeling good are you?" Tendou asked. Shirabu stopped walking with his back facing the tall red-head.

"If I wasn't feeling well I wouldn't be at school." Shirabu lied.

"Hm, well every since that study session you've been off. You're more distant. I never see you at lunch anymore, your sets are getting a little wobbly, and you hardly talk to SemiSemi." Tendou said still standing in the same place. Shirabu sighed.

"I've been eating outside, my arms are a little sore, and I have nothing to say to Semi-San. Does that answer it?"

"I'll take it, for now." He said whispering the last part. They both start walking again, this time quickening their pace so they don't arrive late.

Shirabu knew that with Tendou questioning him, he was practically screwed.

It was lunchtime and Shirabu went to the Courtyard for lunch, just in case a certain red-head went looking for him.

He sat on a bench near a cherry blossom tree and began to eat his lunch while sketching in his notebook.

His notebook was covered in sketches of flowers. The same flowers growing in his lungs. After some research, he soon discovered the name of the flower. They're called Anemone. These flowers came in white, pink, purple, red, and blue. The ones growing in him were blue.

It's such a beautiful flower, but poisonous. If swallowed it can cause blisters and make you sick, but it could also cause tremors and even seizures.
