TW - Hanahaki Disease, Blood

Shuichi's POV

I was bent over the toilet, as the blood came out my mouth like a waterfall, along with rose petals and thorns. You guessed it, I had Hanahaki disease. The Hanahaki is when a person falls in love with another, but the feelings are not returned.

I had fallen in love with the ultimate supreme leader himself, Kokichi Ouma. There would be no way of him liking me back, as here I was, coughing up the flowers. The thorns scratched my throat as the tears cascaded down my eyes to my cheeks.

"Why was Ouma-kun's favourite flowers roses?" I thought to myself as I coughed up the last petal. I could feel that if I didn't have the feelings returned, I would suffer a painful death, whether it be of blood loss, choking or heartbreak.

I stood up and reached over to the sink, where I cupped one of my hands as the other turned on the tap. The cold water comforted me in a strange way as I brought it to wash the remains of the blood smeared around my face. I then grabbed my blue towel and dried my face off.

I had to be back in the main hall in 10 minutes, so I threw on my hat and shoes and took my keys and monopad. I reached to the cold door handle and slowly opened it. As I walked through the deserted hallways, I muttered to myself. "I have to tell him some day, or I will die from this stupid disease."

As I pushed open the huge door, i saw that Kaito and Maki has been waiting for me. "Hey sidekick, what's wrong? Your late!" Kaito said with a hint of worry in his voice. I softly chuckled as I sat down on the bench. "I just slept in Kaito, don't worry."

As I said this I found that my brain and eyes began to wonder away from the two sitting next to me. They began to look at the purple haired gremlin, who was sitting alone on a separate table, drinking some Panta. I could stare at him for days... Whether it be his eyes or the way he dresses or that strange face he pulls halfway through a class trail.. I couldn't get enough.

I got disrupted from this daydream by a sudden choking noise, that turned out to be me. Another flower was on its way, and I could do nothing about it apart from embrace it and let the thorns consume me. I decided that I must at least let Kokichi know what I am going through, as he has been throwing some concerned looks my way.

I steadily excused myself from the table as I ambled over to Kokichi's, clutching my chest as the thorns pierced my lungs. "Hey Kokichi, how are you?" I managed to say with the remaining breath I had stored in my stapled lungs. "Oh~ Hey Shumai!" Kokichi stood up and rested his arms behind his head.

"Well, I have something to tell you." I said nervously, playing with the strands of hair that lay near my ears. "Well, go on Shu~" Kokichi looked at me with big eyes, and an innocent smile, contrasting his usual personality. "Well, can we not talk about it here? It's.. kinda personal." Kokichi got the idea. "Of course Shumai! Let's go to the dorms then!"

They stood up and waltzed over to the huge door, and pushed it for it to open with a large creak. "So, Shuichi. What did you want to tell me?" Kokichi asked me this now examining his nails, that had some chipped black nail polish on it. "Ok. Recently I have gotten the Hanahaki disease." Kokichi looked at me with questioning eyes. "Sorry, but what is that?" I facepalmed and shook my head. "How did I fall in love with this douche." I thought to myself.

After explaining the disease to Kokichi, I felt a lot more nervous, and uneasy. Kokichi had worry painted all over his face, but then turned to denail. "Prove it Shumai!" I looked at him if he was insane. I mean the rose was blocking my airways, meaning that I was wheezing instead of talking and breathing normally. I thought of ways to escape the conversation, but couldn't come up with any. I took some deep breaths as the thorns cut deeper into my lungs, causing me to cough up blood all over Kokichi.

"Cmon Shu! That was my uniform!" I looked at him, obviously flustered. "I-I'm so sorry Kokichi! Let me help." I took out the pack of tissues I kept in my small bag as he hastily took one and started to dry the pink mess all over his black and white costume.

"I am assuming that was the disease."
Kokichi said, obviously bored. I could hear the tone in his voice as he said that, so I decided to get right to the chase. "The Hanahaki disease, you have been causing it. I love you, and I thought that before I die of blood loss as per the bleeding in my lungs, I thought I would let you know." Kokichi was taken aback from what I had just said. "

Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, it's truly my fault." I looked away as I said this, clutching my chest again as the rose petals threatened to come up once again. "Welll, are you just going to stand there or are you gong to ask me to be your boyfriend already?" I almost jumped at this remark, as I knew Kokichi had a tendency to lie I had learnt throughout trials to second guess everything he says. I nodded, and had a slight idea painted in my brain.

I cupped my hands around my mouth and spat out the whole flower, that was covered in neon pink blood. Tears were streaming down my face and my eyeliner was smudging, but I couldn't care less. I offered the blood-covered flower to Ouma.

"Ouma-Kun, will you be my boyfriend?"

A/N - Ooo I love me some Hanahaki disease stuff
