Chapter 2

Alhatham POV

We were just about to start heading off to meet Tighnari and cyno until I started coughing again. Luckily it wasn't as bad as before but I did choke up some blood again but Kaveh was there so he saw it and looked as white as a ghost. He started screaming and yelling things like "you need to go to a hospital!" And "are you okay what happened!?" I just got up and looked at everyone staring at us and just started walking again ignoring the blonde haired man screaming. He started to become more quiet as we continued on but I knew he was still faking about caring so I stayed quiet until we got to the place where we were meeting the other two men. As soon as we walked in Kaveh looked at me in a way I've never seen him look at me before. It looked like he genuinely cared.. his eyes sparkled in such a dreamy and beautiful way that it made me also cry on the spot. Why does he have to play me like this? Why me? Does he hate me or something? What did I do to deserve such a beautiful and wonderful man? Does he hate me? Does he like me? I don't even know what to do anymore so I just kept walking like nothing happened, and nothing mattered. I sat down at the table where the three were and we just talked for about an hour until we started playing TCG, and of course Cyno was like the best one there but I didn't expect Kaveh to be better than Tighnari and me. He's so incredibly talented in everything he does, he's kind, sweet, loving,likes kids,funny, and way out of my league.. Why does he even care about me? What did I do to make him choose to live with me? And then all I heard was "Haitham! It's your turn!" "Huh? Oh.. sorry I was thinking about something" and I just played my turn quickly but I accidentally messed up and Cyno beat me. But it's fine I didn't care about it anyway, just as long Kaveh knew I wasn't that stupid but I don't know if he thought I did it on purpose or what.

I was done with the game and it was just Kaveh and Cyno left, Cyno was surprisingly on the losing end and Kaveh ended up winning? I knew he played things smart and he was good at everything but he surprised me when he beat Cyno! I looked over at Tighnari and he was comforting his boyfriend by petting his head and hugging him and Cyno looked devastated, he just sat there looking at the table in disbelief and defeat. I didn't know he was much of a sore loser but I guess when you're as good as him you can expect high from yourself.

Once Cyno was done sobbing we got up and left the place, we said goodbye and went our separate ways because our houses were in different directions so me and Kaveh went one way and Cyno and Tighnari went the other. Tighnari told me later that when they got home Cyno just plopped down on the couch and Collei played with his hair which I found kinda funny. But when me and Kaveh got home he took me to the living room and sat me down. I didn't know what was happening but it was scary because he looked serious. He started off with "You've been acting weird lately are you okay? Why are you coughing up blood? And you've been hiding your arm recently" I didn't know what to say, I mean what could I say? That there was something inside me making me choke up blood and a fucking flower petal and I've grabbed a razor and shined it across my own arm to get my mind off the extreme pain in my chest? No. I'm not going to let him know about this. I mean he would not believe me..even if I told him how I felt I feel like he would just get up, pack his stuff and leave. I would be all alone but at least I wouldn't be bothering him or anything for that matter.

Kaveh POV:

Althatham was just been sitting there staring at the ground since I asked my question.. I'm worried about him, I mean who wouldn't when he's coughing loudly at 01 am and now he's coughing up his own blood. I need to go to Tighnari tomorrow to see if he has something or if he's at least okay? He starts to speak and says "I'm okay really please don't worry about me" come on. Is that ALL he had to say?? I mean he's clearly NOT fine and he's saying his usual just "I'm fine" no you're not. I see it in his eyes and..he's doing it again.. he's hiding his arm again.. he has long sleeves but I know he sleeps in a t-shirt so I'll just see when he's hiding at night. I waited for a response but he stayed silent. I said "Haitham?" He just looked up and started to cry, I just walked over to him and hugged him saying its going to be okay, but when I said that he started coughing something up. It sounded like it hurt to even breathe , let alone cough. I just rubbed his back and said that he's fine and it's going to be okay like a good friend would. And he just cried into my shoulder coughing and choking on blood and... "What Is that..." I said, shaking. It was a flower petal.? I need to talk to Tighnari about this as soon as I wake up. I let the crying boy go to his room for the night and just waited for him to fall asleep. Once I knew he was sleeping I snuck into his room and silently creeped over to where he was sleeping. I saw him wearing his t-shirt but I noticed that his eyes were puffy and red so I just assumed he was crying himself to sleep. Poor guy.. I don't know what this feeling was but its been there for a few months. It's just whenever I see him I get these butterflies and I don't know why. It's so weird.. I went back to focusing on my objective : seeing his wrist to see what he was hiding. I slowly pulled back the covers and started to see his elbow and it had a strange mark on it. It looked like he accidentally cut himself until I pulled back more. And god was it a horrible gory sight to see. Just cut after cut after cut. I felt bad for him and I didn't know what to do because he had the same markings as me.
