Petals of Love (Boyf Riends story)

Chapter 8: Secrets

Michael woke up to screaming. He still felt dizzy, but his headache was gone and his stomach was less painful.

"OH MY GOD HE'S DEAD!!!!"

Michael jumped on que and nervously scrambled to his feet, searching for his glasses.

They couldn't have gone far.
Ah ha! Gotcha!

He triumphantly raised a fist in the air with his glasses held tight.

~Flashback~

Michael triumphantly raised the mountain dew red in the air, holding it tight.

"MICHAEL MAKES AN ENTRANCE!"

"Michael!?" Jeremy screamed with his adorable voice.

~End of Flashback~

He quickly slammed his fist back down on the ground, cursing himself for reliving that memory.

Meanwhile, Rich was dramatically screaming and crying in his boyfriend's arms.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S DEAD. HE'S GONE FOREVER!!"

Jake stood there, not knowing what to do, looking puzzled and confused.
Michael couldn't help but let out a deep chuckle, sending shivers down all of their spines.

Rich turned around slowly, fighting the urge to scream bloody murder. He thought he was talking to a zombie.
But as soon as he turned around fully, he recognised Michaels weak smile immediately.

"YOU'RE ALIVE!!" He screamed, making both Michael and Jake jump.
Michael then realised why Jake looked so confused.

The trio sat down and Michael explained everything. Jake's eyes grew wide in shock.

"When I first saw Rich, I thought my heart was set a flame. I couldn't breathe and at one point I even forgot my name"

"After a few months I found out I had feelings for Rich, but I kept it a secret and I went exactly what you're going through."

Now it was Michaels turn to look shocked.

Jake had the Hanahaki disease as well?!
I never knew!

"Unless you have surgery, there is only one other way you can cure it." Jake said, a serious tone in his voice.

"How?" Michael asked eagerly.

.....

"You have to confess."
