Hanahaki: One Sided Love [DISCONTINUED!]

Chaper 11: Shiros POV

What happened to Allura? Is she okay?? "What about her, Pidge?" I crossed my arms as I slouched in my chair, a sharp pain ricocheted from somewhere deep inside. "Alluras been... infected..." she didn't dare look me in the eyes, knowing my reaction already. "Where is she?! She needs to come to the infirmary NOW!" I felt rage and fear, my mind muddled, my body aching. I need to save Allura! We can't have everyone die!! I pushed myself up from the chair as I heard a cry echo from the halls outside the open door.

"Hurry!" Pidge yelled, bolting out the door, expertly knowing the way to Alluras limp and unconscious body... within two minutes or a little less, Pidge and I had reached Allura, Keith being the one who screamed was kneeling next to her, keeping two fingers on her pulse point in the neck. He looked up at me with tears trailing down his face. "She's breathing... but she's had this longer than me or even Lance... she's been fighting for too long... she's already gone..." he chocked and sputtered on tears and flower petals.

Pidge cried out, falling to her knees, "DAMNIT!" She screamed and hugged herself tightly, trying her hardest not to shake. "I'm..." I couldn't get the words out, tears started to fall from my eyes as I stared at the two people who never loved me back in the way that I loved them so deeply. "Keith...Pidge... I–." They looked at me, theirs eyes rimmed with red, "Get to your rooms... we need to... we need to move the–." I didn't even finish what I was trying to say before they nodded and shakily stood up. Then they left.

Alluras body was covered in flowers and petals she had hidden throughout the months of having the disease, they were either white or purple or blue with green vines entwining each flower together. Petals seemed to pour and bleed from the corner of her mouth, the liquid was a pastel blue. I knelt down beside her body and stroked her hair, now dyed blue from the blood, "Oh, Allura..." I smiled sadly and leaned farther down to kiss her lightly on the forehead, "you were good. We'll never forget you." I picked up her body walked to the infirmary.

Third Person

Pidge and Keith didn't go to their designated rooms immediately. They instead wandered the halls, staring at their feet and listening to the thoughts inside their heads. Keith couldn't stop thinking about how Allura had hidden herself from them for so long... and never did he ever notice her faultier from pain. Never did he ever see the blue blood that he just saw drippping from the corner of her mouth. Never did he ever see the flower petals. Never ever ever. And Pidge couldn't stop thinking about how she was bound to be infected. Allura never loved her, they didn't even really get along. But Pidge enjoyed Alluras company and the way Allura presented herself for the others. Pidge saw Allura as strong and beautiful and confident... things Pidge wished upon all the stars in the sky to be.

"Keith... we're all going to die, aren't we.." it didn't even come out as a question. It was a statement. Keith didn't answer as soon as he could've. "I don't know. I might die soon. I don't want to die. But I don't want to never feel love for another. I should've– I should've seen what I felt for Lance sooner than this..! He'd still be alive... I'd still be alive..." he stopped suddenly and Pidge turned to see him shaking and wide eyed. He slowly looked up to meet her gaze, and all she saw was pure fear and terror. "Pidge... I'm so scared..." he whispered, almost inaudibly. Pidge didn't know what to say or do. She loved Allura, Lance loved Keith and Keith loved Lance too late for anything to fix. Shirt no doubt loved Keith and Allura in a way they couldn't return shared emotions. And Allura loved Keith. Why'd it have to be a messed up love shape?!

Original POV

I covered up the body with already bloodied sheets. Tears still wouldn't stop and the pain inside never resided. Damnit... I need to do it, I need to get the surgery... I'll be the last one alive... I'll be the last one here. Alone. Emotionless. I shook my head and turned to leave the infirmary. I stood there motionless for a minute, the only sound was my heartbeat in my ears and the sound of my uneven breaths. I looked over my shoulder at the sheet with Allura beneath and I finally left, unsure of what would happen next.
