Hanahaki: One Sided Love [DISCONTINUED!]

Chapter 1: Lance POV

I wandered the halls of the institute, not really having any reason to be doing so. As I wandered, my mind kept doing its own wandering, constantly showing me a mental picture of the boy I've fallen for. I can't help but to think about him non-stop. I don't know what's happening... though, I can feel this aching in my head and chest.

"I will confess today. In our dorm rooms." Lance said out loud to himself. Suddenly, the aching got worse, "Ugh..!" I tripped on the flat surface of the floor and landed with one knee touching the ground and one hand holding my weight as I held onto my throat. "Wh-what..?" I managed to stutter out. My throat felt full, like it was clogged up.

I need to confess... I have too... and no sickness or whatever will stop me. My muscles tensed up as I tried to push myself off of the ground, my legs shaking a crazy amount, "C'mon...C'mon..." I verbally assured myself that I could do this. Even if I wasn't completely sure. Finally, I was up and ready.

"Maybe a few minutes to cool off from that. Theres time to kill, either way." And so I did more random wandering. How fun and glorious.

After about forty-five minutes of mindless wandering, I found the courage to walk into the room I shared with Keith. "What's up, Keith? Anything interesting happening?" I greeted my crush with a small smile and a half-wave. "Eh, I'm doing fine, I guess. The only interesting thing going on is why your shirt and jacket are actually worn properly. You're usually such a mess, dude." Keith spun around in his twirly chair and faced Lance.

He is so goddamn cute. This is going to be harder than I thought... "So, uhh, wanna go out and get some coffee? I think the coffee shop is still open at this time of night?" I offered him my hand and thankfully, he took it, "Sure. I could use the caffeine boost anyways." And there was the smile again.

The smile that could completely a one-hit kill. Well, it absolutely melts my heart. "Let's get going then, shall we?" I began dragging the smaller boy out of the room. "Whoa, Lance, are you okay? You seem more...formal. It's kind of weird, but it's also kind of nice." Keith pointed out. Are my feelings obvious? Are they basically out on display?

"I-i guess I'm a better man?" I laughed nervously and Keith gave me a kind of side glance that said: 'Are you okay, dude..?' and honestly, I don't even know myself... "Okay then, well, we're here at least." Keith pushed open the cherry wooded doors to the 24/7 café. We order our usuals, but this time I took Keith by the hand and walked him up to the roof area.

"Wow, the air is kinda chilly, but it's a good chilly. Does that make any sense? And oh my god, the view! It's so...beautiful," I gazed out over the edge of the roof top, staring into the setting sun, "just like a certain boy I know... always full of so much warmth and colour... and he's beautiful..." I whispered.

"You're right. It is beautiful. But why are we up here? This place, up here on the roof, is a bit too romantic for my tastes... can we go back down into the caf?" Keith asked me in a quiet voice. Then it happened. Another attack. I could feel my throat tightening by the second. "I need to tell you something first..."
