I only have two weeks to live and I still haven't told Izuku I'm dying. I'm such a fucking idiot. I walk up to Izuku after school.

"Hey ner- Izuku, I need to talk to you. Near the cherry blossom." I say. Better now than never, I guess. He nods and we walk there together. He sat down on the bench and I sat next to him. He smiled at all the falling petals.

"Izuku... I want to be honest..." I told him. He smiled and nodded. We were facing each other.

"I'm dying..." I say bluntly. His eyes widened, but he closed them and laughed. I was confused for a moment, but I realized he didn't think I was being serious.

"Izuku, please, listen to me. I'm dying. I always have been." He stopped laughing almost immediately. He grabbed my hand with tears in his eyes.

"Please... don't say that." He told me with a shaky voice. His tears fell and I smiled a sad smile and hugged him.

"I was born with a disease. I only bullied you because I didn't want you to get attached to me because I knew I was gonna die." I say. I felt him weakly hit my chest.

"I'm already attached to you. You're my best friend!" He screamed into my shirt. It was slightly muffled, but I heard it.

"I know. I did a really bad job. I wanted you to hate me, so you wouldn't miss me as much..." I tell him. He hugged me tighter. Now... I need to tell him now.

"Izuku, I'm in lo--" I was interrupted by Izuku yelling out.

"I'm in love with you, Kacchan!" I was taken aback by his words. He moved his arms and tucked them around my neck, placing his two soft pink lips on my sightly chapped ones. I gently put my arms around his waist, pulling him closer. But he pulled away.

"When..." He said slowly. "When you do happen to die... I'll be with you through it all." He told me. I blushed and smiled brightly at him, but my smile disappeared almost as soon as it appeared.

"Two weeks..." I say. He flinched at my words.

"W-what?" He said so lowly it was basically a whisper.

"The doctor said I'll die in two weeks..." I said looking away. I could feel him hug me again.

"Then we'll spend every second of those two weeks with each other." He said, in a whisper again. I hugged him back.

"Let's go back home." He looked up at me and smiled. Then we walked each other home, hand in hand...
