Flowers-a tododeku fanfic

Secrets are no longer secrets

Midoriya's POV:

I woke up the next morning, and dragged myself out of bed. It was Saturday, so we had the day off. I got dressed and walked into the common room, my mind already swimming. I walked up to Todoroki's door, and knocked. I heard a swift "Coming!" from inside and the door opened.

Todoroki's POV:

I opened the door, and I saw Midoriya. Petals threatened to come up, but I pushed them down. I forgot to take the pills! Damn it! I thought. "Um, may I come in?" He asked. "Oh, yeah." I said, stepping out of the doorway. He came in and sat down. I shut the door, and sat next to him. "Todoroki, we need to talk." He said, sighing. "Ok, what is it?" I asked, a little bit of anxiety forming inside me. He took a deep breath. "I know about your Hanahaki."

The shock that overwhelmed me made me distracted, and soon the petals came up. I started coughing, and leaned over my hands. As I coughed up the petals, I felt a hand pat my back. I coughed and wheezed, and it felt endless. My eyes were forced shut, and my throat burned as the petals forced their way out. It finally stopped, and I was able to open my eyes again.

I looked at the flowers stained with blood in my hands, and threw them in the trash. I turned to Midoriya, and was immediately was wrapped in an embrace. "I'm so sorry Todoroki.." He said. 

I hugged back, and felt tears sting my eyes. And soon, I felt those same tears pouring down my face. I'm pretty sure he knew I started crying, because he hugged me tighter. I just cried, and we just hugged. I pulled away, and wiped the tears from my face. I looked at him, and we locked eyes. His emerald eyes glimmered from the sun coming through the window. I felt the petals in my throat, but there were more than usual. I started coughing again. But this time, no petals came out. I gasped for breath, grabbing at my throat as if it would do something. I slowly started losing consciousness, and then my world went black.

I woke up in recovery girl's office, and my chest felt heavy. I sat up, and looked around. Midoriya, Iida, Ochaco, and Tsuyu were there. Midoriya looked over to me, and his eyes lit up. "Todoroki!" He almost yelled, enveloping me in a hug. He pulled away, and I saw him tearing up. "Thank god you're okay! I was so worried." He said. "Todoroki, why didn't you tell us something was wrong?" Ochaco asked. "And more importantly, what is wrong?" I almost sighed with relief at the thought that Midoriya didn't tell them, but then that relief went away at the realization that I would have to explain.

"U-um, I.." I stuttered. Was I really ready to tell them? "I have hanahaki disease." I said, and everyone's expressions went from relief and a little bit of worry, to shock and fear. "Oh no..." Tsuyu said. Recovery girl came into the room, returning from somewhere and shooed everyone out. "You can ask questions later, I need to treat him." She said. The group left, and she sat down on a stool. "Todoroki, you need to tell whoever it is you love, or else this could happen again. And that's dangerous."

"I know, but they don't love me back and I know it." I said, my voice cracking a little. "Have they told you that they didn't love you back?" She asked. I shook my head. "Then there is a chance." Her words gave me hope, hope that he actually loved me back. Hope that this stupid disease could go away. "O-okay, I'll confess in a couple days." I said, stuttering even though I had hope. Because I knew, that there was still a chance that he didn't love me, and that I could ruin our friendship. And that thought, it scared me.
