Deadly Petals (Tsukiyama)

5.

We stayed in my room for quite a while. Reading, writing, drawing, and watching movies.

"Hey tsukki, what's your favorite movie?"

"Probably the conjuring."
He responds.

We sit in silence as we watch the movie. For some reason, tsukki can't take his eyes off of me. He keeps looking over at me.

"Hey yams?"

"Yes, tsukki?"

"I met this girl, her name is Emma. She's a transfer student from America. I'm starting to become close friends with her. She confessed her love to me a few days ago, and I don't know what to say or do.."

I start to cough. I gasp for air as I run to the bathroom. I lock myself behind that door. Tsukki knocks on the door.

"Yamaguchi, are you okay in there??"

I start to cry because I can't breathe and I'm scared.

"Yams let me in."
His voice was stern but concerned.

"I can't let you see me this way tsukki. I'm sorry. You should go now."

"Yams, I can't just leave you like this. I need to be here with you."

I stop coughing. He needs me. I look at the floor beneath me. Blood pools at my knees. Bloody petals littered the floor.

I unlock the door.

Tsukki comes in. Takes a second to process this and embraces me.

"Who?"

He asks.

"You."

I respond.
