  Prince's POV

I sand in the bathroom in the middle of a coughing fit. Standing over the toilet, I throw up blood and handfuls of red and white petals. About three or four minutes later, I'm gasping for breath. Finally done with my fit, I clean my face and look at myself in the mirror. My normally neat tentacles are down. They aren't as shiny and they've gone from a bright sun yellow to a duller yellow. I've been in my room for about six weeks, only leaving when I know my brother and father aren't home to get food. I notice I have bags under my eyes as well.
"It's okay... I don't think my brother would notice I'm gone..." I mumble to myself as I walk back over to my bed.
Curling up, I begin to sob. To bad the one I was in love with, Eging Jr, was in love with N-Pacer. It was such a one sided love that I didn't know what to do when I started to develop this disease. Then came the knock on my door.
"Prince?" I heard the mature voice of my brother.
"Yeah?" I ask uncurling myself and staring at the ceiling.
"Can I come in? You've been locked in here for weeks..." He said, his voice saddened.
"Yeah you can." I say tiredly, looking over to my door.
Then it opens, showing the taller, older Inkling. His sideswept tentacles the glossy bright yellow mine were supposed to be.

Emperor's POV

As soon as I walk into my younger brothers room, I notice the smell. Stale and disgusting were just two words. Looking at my brothers bed, I see my depressed brother. His normal cheerful nature, gone.
"Prince? What happened to you?" I walk over to his bed a sit next to him.
"Nothing..." He sighs.
"It's not nothing..." I push.
He goes to say something but breaks into a coughing fit. He rushes into his bathroom and I hear heaving so I follow. I see him throwing up blood and red and white petals.
"P-Prince? Who..." I shake a little.
After his fit, he wiped his mouth.
"Eging..." He said struggling to breath.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him.
"Because I thought you would hate me... it hurts... cod it hurts..." He whimpers.
"I'm taking you to get the surgery." I pick him up.
I hide my surprise when I notice he's lighter then normal. He tried to struggle but failed.
"Your to weak Prince... You really love him this much?" I cling to my dying brother.
He nods and coughs more. This time though, black blood came out and a full red and white tulip.
"Fuck..." I mumble to myself.
I place him gently into the seat of my car, despite how much blood was on him. I could replace the car. But my little brother couldn't be replaced. Getting into the drivers seat I start the car and drive as fast as I can without making my brother anymore sick. We got to the hospital about fifteen minutes later and I rushed in with him.
"Hanahaki." Was the only word I said before the nurse took him from me and another held me back.
"Sir... Who is he to you?" I look at them, distraught.
"My brother. I would never do this to him." I say tears in my eyes.
"Alright. It's a good thing you got him in now. A few more days and he would have died." She says with a reassuring smile and a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"I'll lead you to the waiting room. It's going to take a little bit because his case is so severe the surgery will be long." She said placing a hand on my upper back and lead me away from the last place I saw my brother.
I look down and notice that my jacket is covered in his blood. Not that I particularly care. He was of my upmost umportantnce right now. I reach for my phone with my blood-covered hands and call Gloves.
"'Ello Emp. What's up?" He asked cheerfully.
"It's Prince..." I said shakily.
"What happened?" His voice became serious.
"He fell in love with Eging Jr. and developed Hanahaki... He was so close..." I choke on my words.
"Alright then Emp. I'm gonna get the rest of the gang and head over the hospital now. You need us." He said and in the background I could hear Rider and Skull.
"Could you also bring me a change of clothes? When I was bringing him in he coughed up a full tulip and a lot of blood. I don't want to stay in them for longer then I need." I ask quietly.
"Sure my dude. Gotta get them up. Hey I'll see you soon." He hung up and I nearly broke down.
Reaching into my pocket, I get the tulip out from earlier. Rolling it in my hands, I let out a strangled sob.
'I probably look like a mess... I don't care. The one I cared for when he was younger is sick with such a deadly illness...' I think to myself.
I shut my eyes after pulling my legs up onto a chair. It feels like only a few minutes, but it had to be about a half an hour by the time I was being shaken awake by Mask.
"Emmmperor. You dooont look good." He says in his lisp.
I groan and stretch my long limbs from the stiff position that I had been in. Groaning again, I look up to the others. Rider is holding Goggles close, Goggles seems to be in shock. Gloves came over with a plastic bag.
"I stopped by your house and got you some sweats and a tee. And I grabbed Prince's pillow for you..." He said handing me a pillow to me as well.
I take both and hold the pillow close and it took a deep breath and I sigh happily. I set the pillow down and take the bag into a bathroom nearby and take off my bloody clothing and slip into the sweats and tee. Heading back, I notice Goggles is nearly sobbing. Placing a hand on his shoulder, I pull him into tight hug.
"Cod why would he d-do that... M-M-Make himself hurt and n-n-not tell anyone..." Goggles choked out.
"I don't know... I really don't know..." I say to the blue clad squid in my arms.
A nurse comes over. Letting go of Goggles, whom goes to Rider for comfort, I look at her.
"Your brother is strong. The surgery will go on for another few hours to make sure everything is out, but once the doctor is done, he'll be a lot more comfortable." She said with a small smile.
I nod and smile back. She leaves and I sit down shakily curling up on the chair once more cuddling the pillow as I shut my eyes.

Alright so this is my first story on this account (I had another account a few years back but I have since lost all information on it. I decided to move to another account in the end.) So leave comments and concerns down below. Votes are really nice.

I fell in love with the Hanahaki disease a few days back in another story I read.

There will be another part i just have to finish it.

Any way Love you all!
