The boys stories

Mully X Josh (Hanahaki)

(this is a AU one js so y'all know, and btw I don't ship Mully and Josh irl. Btw this is not my original idea, it's JuneBug's but I made it my own)

I had woken up to the sound of what sounded like throwing up from the bathroom next to my room. Me and the boys went out clubbing for our 5th anniversary of meeting each other just for the fun. But like always, Josh got drunk. He always got drunk during parties or when we'd go out clubbing so I was used to it, and when he got drunk he acted gay. It was the weirdest thing ever and he didn't know why.

But that time, I was his victim. He's been like this with me before but this time it felt different. It might have been because I was also drunk but I just felt like the things he said, he really ment. I got butterflies thinking about the things he said and did but I knew he was only drunk.

I never found him attractive or like I liked him, but after last night, everything changed. I don't want to fall in love with him but I had that feeling like he liked me but I knew he didn't. He wasn't actually gay but I was. I came out as bisexual about 7 months ago and I told the boys of course and they accepted me and treated me the same I as I was before but I saw a really big change in Josh after I told the boys about my sexuality. He started to become more clingy with me and I kind of enjoyed it but I knew he was just playing around.

I finally got out of bed after thinking about last night. I got up and put on a hoodie just so I felt a little more warmer in the American winter. I went out of the guest room that Eddie had let me sleep in because I was too wasted to go back to the hotel I had booked to stay at while I was in America. I was walking down the hallway until I started to cough. I felt like I was choking so I ran into the bathroom. I had started to cough up blue rose petals. They were in the most gorgeous blue color I had ever seen, but I knew something was wrong because I was coughing up damn flower petals for God's sake.

I sat down next to the toilet just in case I had to cough up the petals again. I googled why I was coughing up flower petals and the first thing that popped up was, 'hanahaki sickness'. I was confused what this was so I tapped on the reason why I would have this.
"the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love." I realized I was in love with Josh. I had one word to say to that.

Fuck.

I had fallen in love with my best friend. I hated myself for it. Why him. Why not someone else. I was confused and still coughing up flower petals. I look at my hands that had the petals on them. I think about what had happened last night. The way he talked to me. The way he complemented me. It made me feel loved again.

I had another coughing fit. This time I threw up. I threw up the blue petals, but along with them came a few small buds. I looked in the toilet to see the throw up just in case there was blood. There wasn't, yet.

I heard knocking on the door and a voice that asked, "Is everything okay in there?" I heard Josh's voice come through the door with a conserned tone.

"Yeah just not feeling so good from after last night" I responded speaking fast trying not to choke on my words from the lack of breath I had.

The Hanahaki was getting pretty bad. It was hard for me to breath but I beard through it. I heard the door open slightly. It was Josh.

He looked at me, then the floor that was covered in those blue rose petals. He closed the door behind himself and walk towards me. He asked, "Who is it?" With a conserned loudness in his voice.

I looked at the petals, then him, then back at the petals. I didn't want to tell him because I know he would get mad at me. It made me sick knowing I had really fallen in love with him but I knew if I didn't get rid of the Hanahaki it would kill me.

I kept coughing, it became harder to breathe. Josh looked at me, almost crying because he knew something was wrong and he didn't know how to fix it. I had thrown up again, this time fully bloomed blue roses and blood. Josh held back my hair so it didn't get any blood in it. I finally sat back with my back on the bathtub.

"It's me isn't it Mully." Josh said with tears in his eyes.

I looked at him, I couldn't breathe anymore. I started to cough again, I tried to gasp for air but the coughing was in my way. The coughing slowed down and I just couldn't breathe. Josh just looked at me with tears in his eyes. He hugged me and told me everything is going to be okay.

After he said that, I had died. But about 5 seconds later, I felt cold lips on mine. My body felt cold but after that kiss I knew I was going to be okay. I was.
