Flowers for Kyoudai.

The Beginning of a Disease.

(A/n This whole story is in Kiyotaka's point of view. Also, trigger warning, as there is a lot of mention of blood and throwing up.)

I saw him again. Mondo. My heart beats with a fiery passion for this boy. I can't tell anyone though, for my reputation would be ruined.

I'm lying awake in bed wondering why my chest hurts so bad. "Why am I so weak?" I wince in pain. There's something coming up my throat, soft and wet. I gag as I run to the bathroom, hunching over the toilet. My vision blurs has a flash of hot pink and lavender fall away from my face.

I have a disease now. All because of him. I can't blame him, it's my fault for falling in love. All he did was be on the sidelines as I watched.

I flush the toilet and clean off my face. This all started two days ago. I don't know how, I don't know why, but... I at least know what it is.
I have something called the hanahaki disease. It comes whenever someone is crushing on someone else, but never has the bravery to tell them. Flowers grow in the unrequited's lungs until they start coughing. Coughing and coughing until one day you suffocate and die.
Every case is different. Your feelings grow for the person you love the flowers get worse and worse, speeding up the process.

I can't stand the pain. I'm too weak for this. Why can't I just.. Tell him?

Laying back on my bed, I put my face into the pillow. If only he was here to comfort me. He could hold me his arms, telling me everything was going to be okay. But it's not. I know that myself. I'm not brave enough.

Thinking of him just makes my chest hurt even more. I feel more pain in my lungs. There's something happening. More flowers I'm guessing. I try to fall asleep, but I can't. It hurts too much.

I woke up in pain. I grab the uniform I had set out last night, but put it down immediately, seeing small bloodstains near the top buttons. Grabbing another from the closet, I took off my night clothes. "C-crap.." there was a giant pain in my lungs and I rushed  to the bathroom again.

After about two minutes, I was out of there and back into changing. Looking at the clock, my eyes widened and I rushed out of the room, speed walking down the hallway.

Rounding a corner, I bump into something hard. Er... Someone? "Are ya alright, bro?" I recognize that voice... " O-oh, K-Kyoudai! Yeah, I'm... Fine." I answered, my face peppered with pink. "Good."

I tried to get past him, not only needing to get to class, but also feeling the soft lavender petals in my throat again. "Why are you in such a hurry, bro?" He questioned, putting his arm in front of me. "I-I need to get to class, Kyoudai!" I exclaimed, trying to get around him. "Oh, sorry bro." He put his hands in his pockets and let me by.

I ignored the pain in my lungs as I walked down the hall. Mondo was, of course, still on my mind. My body started to sway. "M..ondo.." There was a loud thump, someone's scream, and the world went dark.

Oh geez a cliffhanger! I'm so evil! Just kidding!
I'll put out a new chapter asap!
