Hanahaki Disease

Requested by @annoying_dog2006

Bakugou x Midoriya

It all started with the sludge villain. That's the day he realised he fucked up. The day he realised what this burning sensation within him truly is. It's not hatred, it's love... But it remains unanswered, all because of his own stupid mistakes. He bullied him, pushed him away, even told him to go kill himself! Yet there he was, with that stupid dorky smile and messy green hair. Determination and fear written in those emerald green orbs.

"You looked like you were asking for help!"

No, he wasn't asking for help. Katsuki Bakugou was crying out for you, Izuku Midoriya... The boy that used to be his best friend, the boy he harshly bullied and pushed down on the ground. Yet every time Midoriya got back up on his feet, a smile on his face, and he kept on following Kacchan. Although, after the sludge villain, that all changed...

The rolls reversed. Izuku wasn't a Deku anymore. He started training with All Might, he became stronger. Now Katsuki was the one running after him. Not in the literal sense of the word though, he would never let anyone see his weakness. No, he would stare at the boy from afar, admiring those features he used to despise. His smile, his eyes, his unwavering kindness... How had he not noticed his own feelings before?

Deku was just perfect...

A little too perfect, even. Bakugou realised that when he started coughing up deep dark green flower petals. He'd been coughing for a few days before the first petal appeared, thinking he'd come down with a cold. It wasn't uncommon since he was more sensitive to cold temperatures due to his quirk. But when that damn petal fell out of his mouth... He almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Of course he knows what Hanahaki disease is, he's not stupid. He instantly knew what was happening to him, what the possible cures were, and what would happen if he wasn't treated. His love for Izuku Midoriya had made him ill. An illness that could only be cured by surgery, removing the flower currently blooming in his lungs, with losing his memories of Deku as a consequence. Or, in his opinion the better option, by a true love's kiss.

If his feelings are returned and Midoriya kisses him, the flower would weld and he'd survive. 'Ha, like that is ever gonna happen...' he thought in self pity. Katsuki felt like he deserved this. He deserved to suffer for all he had put Izuku through. That's why he kept it a secret. Nobody knew, not his so called friends, nor his parents. No one.

Bakugou managed to nail the UA entrance exam while sick, coughing up a storm afterwards. He'd been hiding out in the bathrooms, almost puking out the flower petals. They were covered in blood... Well, that's a first... Of course he couldn't be left alone and someone had to walk in on him in his weakened state. A red head Katsuki recognized from the exam. He was pretty tough if he remembered right...

"Oh my God, dude are you okay?" he gasped, running to Bakugou's side and patting him on the back in worry.
"Does it look like I'm fucking okay shithead?" the blonde choked out, his voice hoarse and raspy. His words were followed by another outburst of coughing and blood covered petals. Kirishima stared at them in shock, having heard about this in stories, but he's never seen it in real life before...

"H-Hanahaki..." the red head whispered, his eyes widening.
"Yeah... Not as stupid as you look" Katsuki whispered, wiping his mouth and getting rid of the flower pieces while Eijirou washed out the sink, no words spoken.
"So, uhm, when is your surgery?" Kiri asked, thinking it was the only logical solution. I mean, he's seen that boy in action during the exam. That kid was a combat tank, real manly, great hero material. But he couldn't be a hero if he was dying...
