Bakugou Katsuki's heart fell to the floor, the petals following suit. This couldn't be happening to him. Not here. Not now.
For years, Bakugou has been hoping that Y/N had liked him back. Since she was so shy about romance, she wouldn't be the one to confess her feelings.
But she didn't love him back.
And Bakugou Katsuki couldn't do anything about it.
---
"Bakugou? Are you in there?"
Kirishima banged on the door to the dorm. When Bakugou didn't answer, Kirishima sighed and walked away.
The boy has been lying in bed for the past 3 days, his mind drowning in the endless pools of thoughts overwhelming him.
Should he go through with the surgery?
But he didn't want his feelings to fade away.
Should he confess his feeling to Y/N?
But she can't force her feelings for the petals to go away.
Bakugou chewed his lip. He would much sooner die, knowing that Y/N knew that he loved her, than to continue his life without any past feelings for the girl he fell in love with.
He abruptly sat up, and walked to the door, his hand shaking as it reached the doorknob.
Bakugou Katsuki left the room, the fate of his life lying upon the hands of a single girl.

"Y/N!"
Cough.
Y/N turned around, her face breaking into a smile. "Hey Bakugou! What's up? You weren't at class today, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I was just feeling a little strange this morning. Look, can we talk?"
Cough.
Y/N nodded and followed the boy into a vacant hallway.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?"
Cough.
"Y/N, I-
Cough.
"I-
Cough.
Y/N stepped forward, her hand resting against the hand that was covering Bakugou's mouth.
"Whoa, Bakugou, are you sure you're okay? You should get your cough checked out-
Y/N fell silent as she drew her hand away, to find delicate flower petals lying oh so innocently there.
Bakugou said nothing, and opted to stare at the ground.
"You have-
-yeah."
"Because of-
-you, yeah."
Y/N said nothing. Instead, she crushed the petals in her fist.
"This shouldn't be happening."
"Oh, and why is that, Y/N? Is it because 'I'm too good for you', or because 'I'm too young to die'?" Bakugou snapped.
"No."
"It's because I like you too."
---
It's been another 3 days since Y/N's confession.
Mentally, Bakugou Katsuki was in a pure bliss. He never wanted anything but to be holding Y/N in his arms, knowing that she was his and only his.
But physically, Bakugou Katsuki was doing worse than ever.
He was coughing up more and more petals.
After confronting Y/N about it, she assured him that people still cough up petals even after their feelings are returned, that it takes time until they disappear.
But day after day, Bakugou Katsuki was feeling less and less confident.
He walked into the common room to see Y/N curled up on the couch.
"Hey babe." Bakugou said quietly, kissing her cheek.
Y/N smiled, although it looked strained.
"How was your da-
Bakugou Katsuki couldn't speak. His eyes bulged.
He felt all the petals that were forming in his chest come up all at once, in one swift motion.
Bakugou Katsuki dropped to his knees, pounding his chest to get all the petals.
Get them out.
Get them out.
"Bakugou!" Y/N dropped beside him, clutching his hands.
As more petals dropped to the floor, more and more tears started to form in Bakugou Katsuki's eyes.
Bakugou Katsuki looked up at Y/N.
The girl who never really loved him.
"Y-you lied." Bakugou stuttered out between coughs.
"You never loved me."
Y/N was in tears at this point, her knuckles turning white as she clutched his hands tighter.
"I-I'm sorry..."
Somehow, Bakugou Katsuki smiled.
"Don't be."
Y/N's face contorted from devastation to confusion.
"What?"
Bakugou lifted his head to view the ceiling. The ceiling that was the same shade of blue as the flower petals that have managed to eat him away.
"It's just another tragedy, isn't it?"
