Two weeks later
The next afternoon at school, the happy couple broke the news to everyone. It had taken a while to go public about their relationship but they did it.
Yoichi and Mitsuba had happily congratulated the new couple.Meanwhile, Kimizuki had just rolled his eyes and made a snarky comment about it being obvious. Everyone was there to hear the 'wonderful' news, everyone except Mikaela.
The blonde haired boy hadn't spoken a word since what had happened to him at the beach. He hadn't left his small apartment since the incident. Instead of coming to school and having to watch the happy straight couple gush over each other, Mika had opted to spend his days curled up underneath his bed sheets surrounded by soft petals.
Mika knew what he had. That very moment he had seen the first sky-blue petal, he had instantly recognised it as 'The Hanahaki Disease'. It was the same disease that had taken the life of his mother, and now it was after him.
The flower inside him had not grown deadly yet, but at this rate, it was bound to take his life. Mika had considered about taking the operation after Krul had suggested it, but immediately decided against it, he didn't want to forget his feelings for Yuu, He'd rather suffocate from his love than forget it. Besides Mika didn't mind if it was Yuu who was the one slowly killing him.
-----------------------------------------
Shifting slightly underneath the warm covers, Mika sat up in his bed.
Morning already? he thought whilst tiredly stretching. It was impossible to get a good night rest when you were constantly racing to the bathroom to hack up flower petals. Yawning, Mika decided to check his phone, it had been a while since he last used it. Two weeks to be exact.
[75 messages from 'Yuu-chan']
Mika smiled slightly at the name while resisting the urge to cough up more petals.
[54 missed calls from 'Yoichi']
He furrowed his eyebrows, feeling a little guilty. He had probably worried the others a lot with his unexplained absences. Sighing, Mika knew he had to tell one of his friends eventually, and he knew exactly which one.
"7:16..i better get ready.." The blond muttered, as he hesitantly climbed out of bed.
As soon as Mika had entered into the gates of school he was glomped by the one and only Yoichi- who had sent him stumbling backwards.
"Mika-Kun! You're here! Why haven't you been here?! are you okay?!" Yoichi pulled back and shook poor Mika by the shoulders, before pulling him in for another hug.
"We've been so worried about you..especially Yuu-kun" The smaller boy lectured with a small pout on his face. However, Mika felt like he was going to hurl up petals right then and there at the mention of Yuu's name.
"Mika-Kun...? Is something wrong..?" Yoichi's pulled away from the blonde with a concerned look. Before Mika could answer he was interrupted by a certain raven haired boy crushing him into a hug from behind, arms snaked around his hips."Mika! You made me so worried you ass!" the familiar voiced teased lightly, although small hints of worry were laced in his voice.
"No no, everythi...everything's fine...Y..Yuu-chan" Mika choked out, his hand muffling his voice. Just the sight alone of Yuu triggered his Hanahaki. The blonde offered his two friends a comforting smile although he could tell that they didn't buy it.
"Mika-kun..?" Yoichi asked lightly, "Are you sure everything's okay..? Your voice is really raspy.."
Mika just nodded not daring to open his mouth and let the flow of blue petals give him away.
---------------------------------
For the rest of the day, everything was alright. Apart from the occasional rush to the bathroom the throw up more petals. Other than that, Everything was fine.
Until Shinoa arrived late to school of course.
--------------------------------
"Mika-san you're actually here today, good job~!" Shinoa half-joked. Mika only nodded in reply and offered a polite smile, he had been communicating that way all day.
"Hmm~? what's this? Mika's being more antisocial than usual?" The purple haired girl noted.
Yuu immediately cut into the conversation, "Yeah! this little shit right here hasn't spoken a word since this morning!" Mika only grinned cheekily, before remembering the reason why he had even bothered coming to school today, his smile completely washed off his face- replaced with a look of sadness.
Turning to Yoichi who sat beside him, Mika tapped his should lightly and pointed towards a tree in the distance. Silently saying,
'you, me over there now'
Yoichi instantly got the message and hastily stood up, a little too fast, pulling Mika up with him. The others at the table gave the two a questioning look.
"Uhm- Mika-Kun and I need to talk about something in p-private" Yoichi stammered over the last part, nervous that he would offend any of his friends. But before anyone could reply as to why, Yuu abruptly stood up, "I'm coming too!" the ravenette determined, worried for his childhood friend.
"n-no Yuu-chan.." the blonde muttered quietly, surprising everyone at the table. A look of hurt washed over Yuu's face before he silently complied and sat back down next to Shinoa.
Mika wanted to apologise for upsetting his Yuu but before he could, he felt himself start to cough-choke loudly, catching everyone's attention. "M-Mika..?" Yuu asked, but before Mika could let him finish, he turned and began sprinting while hauling Yoichi along with him.
--------------------------------
Once the two boys were away from view, Mika broke down sobbing. Yoichi instantly began cradling him in his arms, whispering calming words into his ear. Once the blonde had calm down he lowered his eyes to the ground.
"Mika-kun...tell me what's wrong" Yoichi mumbled quietly.
"I-I have Hanahaki Disease.."
Silence. Mika's heart skipped a beat.

Yoichi began sobbing loudly, holding Mika tight in his arms, while muttering 'I'm sorry" over and over again. Mika let himself be held tightly by the other boy, he needed comfort.
"Are-are t-they b-bloodied?" Yoichi asked, tears still streaming down his rosy cheeks.
Mika only coughed up another 6 petals, the blue painted with a pinkish-red. It was as if the flower had answered for him.
With teary blue eyes he stared down at the petals, 'i'm going to die.i'm going to die. i'm going to die.'
"i'm going to die" he whimpered softly.
The two just sat there sobbing softly in each other's embrace.
unknowing that a certain raven haired boy had heard the whole conversation and was ready to break down himself.
