Hanahaki Disease

Nobody knows!

I still felt the pricks of thorns on my arms. I shrugged the thought away. I woke up in a strange home. My old home. The birds singing their sweet song, the smell of breakfast and/or other foods downstairs, and the muffled voices. I felt an arm on my chest, pulling me in closer. Maxwell. "Hey....?" I asked. He moaned. "Let me go...." I murmured, turning to my side. His adorable sleeping face was....well...adorable. His bangs sliding off of his other eye. I've never seen it before.
