Blooming love

Love kills, no seriously it does and you were living proof of it. You hid your disease from everyone even your closest friend who you lived with. He was always a bit selfish thinking about him self which to you was perfect. Never having to answer questions about why you was coughing even more lately or started hiding yourself away. You wish you could tell people about it but you didn't want there sympathy, or advice. Yes Hanahaki disease was curable in two ways. Cure one there was an operation to have the flower inside you removed but it left you numb with no emotions what so ever. Cure two was for the person you love to love you in return.

You see Hanahaki disease was caused by one sided love or a broken heart, causing a flower to grow inside you until it eventually kills you, slowly and painfully. No one ever knows how long they have to live, it varies from person to person. You'd only been suffering a month, coughing up rose petals, how ironic. but it was quickly getting worse. It kinda didn't help that the man you loved also lived with you, that's right your best friend John. You could feel it was nearing the end your coughing fits became more violent, your throat sore and body physical drained. You made it back into your room out the way before collapsing into a heap on the floor.

As John opened the door he saw a trail of petals leading off towards your room. Curiosity killed the cat in an instant as he followed the trail to your bedroom door. He wondered if this was some kind of wild goose chase you was going to be sending him on. Unfortunately it wasn't as he had found the cause of the petal trail, You. Lying on the cold wooden floor as you coughed up another handful of petals. "Jesus fucking Christ lass" John exclaimed as sat beside you on the floor, instantly taking your hand in his. You looked up at him smiling weakly, you felt a warm sensation "John please don't, let me go" you whispered.

seeing a lone hot tear roll down his face, "but I can save you, (y/n) please don't leave me" he begged gripping your hand tighter "the only way I can be saved is if he loves me" you spluttered in between coughs, more petals mixed with blood. This made John think, number one what the hell was you talking about he was a warlock there must be a spell out there to save you, and number two who was this man you spoke of? "Who? I'll track him down and drag him here by his bollocks if it means it saves you" John explained, wiping a few spots of blood off your mouth with his thumb. "He's the most handsome, stubborn and infuriating Magus I know" you listed as breathing became harder and harder.

Your eyes became heavy as the darkness began to draw in, with one last drop of energy you smiled "I loved you John" with your last breath you confessed the reason you was dying, because you loved the magus who was obvious to your feelings. More tears fell as John felt guilty for letting you slip away so easily "I loved ya to (y/n)" he declared as he placed a soft kiss on your forehead, cradling your lifeless body.
