Fallen Petals and Stolen Kisses (A hanahaki Story)

A Different Perspective

-Sero-

I look at the blond boy in front of me and have to stop myself from reaching out and holding him.

We aren't friends.

But something happened. I know it did. I wish he would just do what we both know he should.

He should tell someone about his disease.

About his issues.

I don't want to watch him die but he's pushing everyone else away. He's not relying on anyone and the thought of that terrifies me.

What if he starts cutting again?

What if he already has?

What if?

I banish the thoughts and sigh. I set the sandwich I made on a plate and grab a small bag of chips which I set down in front of Denki.

"Eat. If you don't I'll make Shinsou shove it down your throat." I say harshly. Too harsh. It was a bluff though and Denki knew it. He glances up at me and mumbles some semblance of an okay and takes the chips to his room.

He's limping. He's bruised. I'm worried. So worried.

Shinsou.

Yeah thats it.

Ill ask Shinsou and maybe Monoma to make sure he's ok and if he isn't, Well report it to Aizawa.

It's genius!

Except it isn't. It's not that simple.

I know things that I should report.

That I need to tell someone.

But I swore to Denki I wouldn't.

Maybe I could drop hints? Get one of Denkis crushes to brainwash me into telling? Would it even work?

I head to my room as I think it over. Desperate for the perfect solution.

-Shinsou-

Grasping Monomas hand he leads me to Seros dorm where I softly knock on his door.

"Sero? We'd like to talk about Denki." I say tiredly. The door opens with a small creak.

"Perfect timing. I was just about to go to you. What's up?" Sero asks.

"Were extremely worried about Denki and since you two are so close we thought... We thought you'd know whats going on?" Monoma says, The last part sounding more questioning then a statement. Sero groans.

"If I could help him, I would. But you should know we aren't friends anymore." Sero sounds a little sad at this statement and a solemn look crosses his face but he quickly shakes it off.

"Why?" I ask.

"I gave him a dilemma and he chose to get rid of me." Sero sighs. "I need you both to keep an eye on him. I swore I wouldn't say anything specific but he needs help. Whether he wants it or not."

"And what if we make you tell us?" Monoma asks.

"I almost wish you would but I know you wouldn't risk getting expelled. Neither of you would." Sero responds simply.

"Well try to watch over him." I hesitantly hug the black haired man in front of us. He looks so tired.

-Denki-

My phone pings and I pick it up to see a message from Mina.

'Heyyyyy so we're having a small party in my dorm tomorrow. Wanna join?' It reads.

I quickly reply back with a simple 'Sure!'

It'd be fun. I needed fun. I wonder what we'd do or if I was just going to be an extra outlet. I hope we will play some Mario Kart. Maybe watch a movie?

Excitement fills my body and I cough lightly.

I can hang out with the Bakusquad soon!

Sorry it's so short loves. Been exhausted and am trying to fill in blanks in my writing as I also try to get into parts I actually have ideas for.

Prepare for angst.
