Fallen Petals and Stolen Kisses (A hanahaki Story)

Horror Movies and Broken Promises

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

Blood drips down my thigh.

Drip.

It helps distract me from my bad thoughts.

Thoughts about being in a relationship with Monoma and Shinsou. Shit. I just thought of them. Flowers rise up my throat but I choke them down.

Slice.

Drip.

I put the razor blade back on my bathroom counter and begin to wipe up the blood from my leg before wrapping a bandage around it. Deep down I knew it wasn't healthy, But the Pain stopped my thinking. The repetition was calming. Each cut was precise. I used to attack my wrists in middle school. I wasn't as smart then Or more like, As careful as I am now. Sero and I were friends back then. He helped me out of this bad habit. It took a while and an eventual trip to the mental hospital, But he was by my side every step of the way. I loved him for that.

I wipe up the blood from off the tiles before changing into a Pikachu onesie. It was one of my absolute favorite pajamas. 

I feel bad for breaking my promise to not hurt myself like that again. It was comforting though. With everything going on with my parents, with my crushes, with my health, Mental and physical. It felt like the only way to make it through this alive. Well at least for now. 

I look at myself in the mirror and take a deep breath. After throughly examining that I had no blood on me I go downstairs for the movie. 

"We should totally watch the scream movies!" It sounded like Uraraka, Shouted over the small arguments.

"Nuh uh! We should watch the conjuring!" Mina Shouted back. People began to split into sides on what we should watch. Sero chose the conjuring and although Monoma chose scream, Shinsou was the tie breaker as they hadnt noticed me yet. Shinsou ended up choosing the conjuring. Im not sure why he did it but when he chose he looked for who I assume was me and when he found me, He smiled like he did me a favor.

The conjuring universe was one of my favorite horror universes although I enjoyed scream. I smile back and come into the room.

"Hey Denki... So, all of the outlets are full, could you do me a solid?" Sato said as he held out one end of a long charging cable. I wanted to say no, I tried to will myself too.

"Sure!"

"Oh, me too!" Mina said as she handed me her phone and charger with a smile. Bakugo shoved his stuff at me, and I sat down on the couch closest to the kitchen on the end so I could set their phones on the little table next to it as I charged it.

"You know you don't have to charge their phones, right?" Sero said noticing my hesitation.

"Yeah." I mumble as I place the ends of the charger in my mouth to charge their phones. Sero sighs but reaches out for my arms, unwilling to argue. The silent demand clear in his expression. I hand him my first arm and he checks it and he looks pleased, He does the same with the second arm and hugs me when its clean.

"I'm proud of you." He whispers to me. I nearly melt from the compliment. When was the last time I heard that? Sero pulls away and goes to his usual spot on a stool where he sits criss-cross applesauce. 

After a couple of minutes Shinsou and Monoma sit on the last two available seats, Next to me. Shinsou sits directly next to me and Monoma right next to him. The lights turn off and the movie starts. I've already seen these movies, so it doesn't take more than 30 minutes for me to accidentally fall asleep chargers in my lap.

I wake up to a scream and nearly jump out of my seat to help.

"Hey, its okay Its just Hagakure getting jump scared again." A low voice chuckles softly as he rubs my scalp gently. I begin to shut my eyes before I realize I'm in Shinsous lap, and Shinsou was the one who spoke. I sit up almost immediately. I feel someone glaring at me but I can't tell who thanks to the darkness.

"Sorry, didnt mean to fall asleep on you." I mutter quietly. The flowers rise up my throat and I choke them down as the taste of blood coats my tongue. 

I Excuse myself and head to the kitchen to get something to drink. 

"You stay the fuck away from him." I turn around, Startled. But it wasnt Monoma who spoke, It was Midoriya. "You know what, Stay away from both of them."

"Izu-dude what are you talking about?" I ask. I try to recall why the boy would hate me for getting close to them when I realize, Midoriya had been flirting with them lately, He probably was crushing on them. 

"You dont get to touch or talk to Shinsou or Monoma, Got it?"

"Dude If you have a crush just tell them Im seriously not interested in them." Midoriya slaps me.

"You. Got. It?"

I dont say anything, My body begins to move backward as memories of my father hitting me comes to the forefront of my mind. Midoriya grabs my wrist in a bruising grip as he waits. When I continue to not respond he hits me with a fraction of his quirk, and Im certain there will be a nasty bruise there soon.

"Do you understand you fucking dumbass?"  I nod as I begin to tremble. "Good." 

He releases me and starts to walk out.

"Oh and no telling anyone about this unless you want to get hurt." He leaves the room and I begin to hyperventilate. I can't breathe.

I get on my knees and crawl under the island in the pocket of space meant so chairs can be pushed in, but none are currently there.

The memory of my father beating me into unconsciousness fills my mind. He had done it simply because I had come out as Bi. I clutch my bruised wrist to my chest as breathing becomes nearly impossible.

Hello again! Hope you guys have been enjoying my sad attempt at a story. Have a good week my lovelies!
