Through pain comes love

Hanahaki Disease

Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient throws up and coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love.

Klaus was walking down the hallway at school when he started to feel the tickle at the back of his throat telling him a violent coughing was coming. He ran to the boys toilets and into a stall, he started coughing violently, he covered his mouth with his hand attempting to quiet the noise even though no one else was in there.

When the coughing finally stopped he removed his hand found it covered in pink flower petals dotted with blood, "fuck" he muttered to himself, he's heard of the Hanahaki Disease but he never thought that it was actually real or that he'd get it.

Of course he knew why he had it, he was in love with Damon Salvatore but he didn't feel the same way. After taking a few deep breaths Klaus walked out off the stall and walked over to the sink to wash his hands but before he could turn the the tap on the door opened.

Stefan and Klaus stood for a few moments just staring at each other before Stefan's eyes glanced at the hand covered in petals and blood. Klaus quickly turned the tap on and finally washed his hands.

When he looked up again Stefan was still staring at, "is that what I think it is?" Stefan asked worriedly, Klaus just nodded his knowing there was no way of passing it of as something else.

Before Stefan could speak again Klaus opened his mouth "you cannot tell anyone about this" He stated with a harsh glare, all worry was gone from his face and now he looked angry, "how can you keep this a secret, you're going to die" after the words fell from Stefan's lips reality hit and he looked down sadly.

"Stefan, I'm going to be fine I just need you to keep this quiet" after a moment he added "please" Stefan looked at him worriedly again "if you don't want me to tell anyone I won't, but just let me help you when I can" Stefan spoke quietly.

Klaus smiled at him "thank you. Now let's get out of here we're going to be late for lesson" Klaus said with a chuckle, Stefan sighed and nodded his and walked out off the door with Klaus following him.

"Is the first time it happened?" Stefan asked after awhile "yeah" klaus replied simply, Stefan nodded his head "it's Damon isn't it" it wasn't a question but Klaus nodded his head anyway, "what you saying about me?" Damon asked playfully.

Both men tensed and Damon looked at them confused, "just saying who the biggest dickhead is in the school" Klaus finally replied with a smirk, Damon pouted at him and Klaus has never seen anything cuter.

"No need to be mean" Damon stuck his tongue out at him and Klaus laughed while Stefan just shot him worried looks, Klaus caught one then shot him a reassuring smile, Damon once again looked at them confused.

With such close proximity between the two Klaus felt like he was going to cough again, he turned his head and coughed gently into his is hand, he didn't even bother to look at what was in his hand he shoved the petals into his pocket and turned back to the two men.

"I think I'm gonna go home, I don't feel well" Klaus muttered while trying to the pain he was in, they both looked at him worriedly, "do you want me to take you?" Damon asked carefully "no" klaus replied quickly.

Damon looked at him hurt and Klaus suddenly had the urge to vomit he could feel the flower petals in his mouth but he refused to let them fall, "it's fine I'll take" Stefan stated leaving no room for argument.

Klaus made it out school with some help from Stefan, as soon as they made it through the doors Klaus walked to the side and emptied his guts, pink Camellia petals and blood covered the floor.
