Flower petals

🌸~Fears~🌸

⚠️ slight gore (blood) ⚠️
|3rd person POV|
The freckled boy awoke. Slowly at first but then in a panic for he realized that he was no longer at the entrance of his home. But rather tucked in his bed with his mother by his side.

She was sleeping peacefully by his side. Her eyes seemed puffy. Her nose and cheeks seemed flushed.

"Was she crying?" He thought. A worried expression crossing his face.

She seemed so peaceful sleeping, so he carefully got up and crept out of bed. His throat felt dry, and scratchy. He thought he was just thirsty so he crept carefully to his kitchen. To see a familiar face waiting for him down there.

|Izuku POV|

What is he doing here?!

"K... kacchan?!" I silently panic.

I clear my throat, why is it so dry?

"Deku. We need to talk" he stands up, glaring daggers in my direction.

In fear I step back. He notices that I step back.

"Scared?"

I nod my head no.

"Then come closer deku" he smirks

I blush lightly and hesitate. Is he going to hurt me? What's he planning? I can't read him.

"I'll give you to the count of three to get over here or I'll make you" he says in a dark tone.

What is he going to do??

"1...."

He's not going to do anything harmful to me right??

"2..."

Then before I can even step, my throat becomes more scratchy, and it hurts to breathe. I feel as though I'm about to start coughing again.... And I can feel the blood and petals rising....

I think kacchan can tell some because he doesn't say another word. He just started to stare at me. And then I began to cough.

It hurts so much, it feels like I'm hacking up my lungs. I cough out petals and blood into my hands while kacchan stares at me in horror. The pain of the blood and flower petals rising hurts. The pain is unimaginable.

I can't hold the petals anymore and they fall onto the floor and join my blood for it was already trickling down my hands and arms.

My blood, a bright red shade, dyeing the white petals as they fall onto the floor. I can feel the blood drip from my mouth onto my hands, like a river.

When I finally calm down, kacchan finally says something.

"So it wasn't a dream huh?" He says with a horrified expression on his face

Confused I say "what?"

He glares daggers in my direction and says..

"This. You coughing up blood and stupid fùcking flowers what is going-"

Then he falls to the floor, recovery girl standing behind him.

"We should hurry up and treat you before he wakes up" she says smiling

"It's a small tranquilizer, he'll be asleep for maybe an hour or so. Alright so-" she looks at me and then the floor, she frowns

I cleaned the blood that was dripping from my mouth.

"What happened?" She says in an empathetic voice

"I...I don't know, just one day I felt this strong pain in my heart and since then I've been dying slowly, well that's how it feels anyway"

"Hm, is there anything that happened before you got these pains?"

"Well, not that I can think of the only that that comes to mind is kacchan and Kirashima"

My eyes widen, am I jealous? Well I know I am, I just don't want to admit it. My eyes swell up tears threatening to spill out.

"Well midoriya I think I've found the problem, tell me have you ever heard of the Hanahaki disease?"

"Hanahaki disease? No I can't say I have"

"Well I don't blame you, it's quite rare. It's a heartbroken disease that causes your lungs to grow flowers. Well it's a bit more complicated than that but that's what it is to put it simply"

Hanahaki disease? Why in the world do I have that??

"Is it curable?" I say frantically

She looks at the floor for a moment then back at me.

"It's almost impossible to get rid of this rare disease, with medicine anyway"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"In other words, midoriya you're either going to have to get Bakugo to fall in love with you, get over him, or well..."

"Well what?" I say in a panicked voice

She looks at me with such sad eyes, and expression I can't seem to figure out. The complexity of her feelings and her expression is hard to make out.

"Well...you know, you'll die if it isn't cured"

My eyes widen, did she say....I'll die.

"This has to be some mistake, I'm sure I don't have that disease. Please recovery girl tell me I don't have that disease!"

A tear falls from her eye.

"I'm sorry midoriya, but there's nothing in my field if expertise that I can do for you. I'm sorry"

I fall to my knees, this can't be real. This has to be some sort of dream. I'm not going to die. I'm not going to get anyone to fall in love with me. I'm perfectly fine.

We spent a few moments in silence, the recovery girl clears her throat.

"I'll help you clean up"
