He shut bathroom door loudly and leaned against it. Gasping for air, he put his hand to his neck. 'Why- why the fuck is this happening now? Maybe i should've stayed at home' he thought as he approached the toilet.

He coughed and and something came out instantaneously. Not a only a petal, but instead; a whole flower head. The flower was vibrant orange which had streaks of blood on it. Disgusted, He dropped it into the toilet.

Cough followed by another, and another. Flowers were coming out of him like he had a garden inside him. The toilet was now filled with multi colored flowers which had had one thing in common; which was the stains of Daishou's blood on them.

He felt his chest lighten, but the pain was still there. He stood up and approached the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror hung above the sink. "I-I look l-like... A m-mess" he said to himself as he turned on the tap and washed his face.

After that, he took at towel beside the sink and wiped his face. "W-when is this t-torture gonna be o-over?" He asked hoping for anyone, just anyone to respond and give him answers. But unfortunately, no one did. He was alone in the bathroom as tears ran down his cheeks and looked tilted his head down and said in a voice of desperation-

"K-kami-Sama. Onegai... Tasukete"

"Are you alright, Yaku?" The tangerine colored hair boy named Hinata Shoyou asked him while he was walking towards Yaku's direction.

Yaku shifted his gaze from the platter of sandwiches which he lost the appetite of eating to Hinata. "Huh? What do you mean?" Yaku asked Hinata in a weak and dull manner.

"What i mean is you. You don't look like yourself" Hinata answered, concerned of Yaku's physical condition.

"I'm fine" Yaku dismissed to only receive a "No you are not. Have you taken a look at yourself recently? Pale skin, Sunken eyes, weakened movements and speaking"  Hinata stated as he called Yachi over.

"Ehh? What's happening here?" Yachi asked as she was walking hastily towards them. "Oh my goodness- Yaku are you alright?" She asked as she wished towards the sickly looking boy.

Hinata pouted, "See? Even Yachi noticed something's off with you" he stated as he closely inspected him.

"No, i really am okay" Yaku said to Yachi who was now infront of him looking at Yaku.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Yachi asked in a serious tone.

"Yes." Yaku simply replied trying to make his voice sound normal.

"Do you promise?" Hinata interjected.

"Promise is a feeble word. It is something you can break easily" Yachi stated as she looks at Hinata.

"Yaku, don't answer that, but instead; answer this... Do you swear to god that you're okay?" Yachi said in a tone that Yaku hasn't heard before.

"I- uhmm..." Yaku was saying before he heard the bathroom door open and saw Daishou waking out.

"Oh will you look at that, Daishou is done with the bathroom, i gotta go." He said as he fled the scene and walked towards the bathroom.

Daishou who was now looking fresh approached the two. "What happened?" He asked.

"Yaku's being sus" Yachi answered as she scratched her head and sat on a chair. "Welp, i guess we gotta wait for him to come back".

Yaku walked into the bathroom and quietly shut the door behind him. He was somewhat relieved that he had now made it to the bathroom for some alone time.

He approached the sink and looked in the mirror and saw what they had described. 'I guess they were right' he thought as the pain in his chest intensified. He put his hand to his chest and let out a cough.

He coughed and coughed, the pain didn't seem to be disappearing as easily as it did back then.

He put one of his hand over his mouth as he continued to cough. The pain somewhat faded a bit which made him stop coughing and returned to normal posture. As he was making a fist with his hand, he felt something there. Something that seemed to be paper like, but soft.

He opened his hand to reveal 3 purple petals stained with a dark red liquid which was blood. "What the? Petals? How did this get here?" He questioned.

"I am confused..." He said as he lifted the toilet cover to reveal a ton of flowers in the toilet. Daishou had forgotten to flush it.

He took a step back from the shock of seeing flowers in the toilet with the toilet water being a shade of red.

A loud banging came from the door "YAKU! OPEN UP!" A male voice which seemed to be Daoshou's came from outside. Yaku closed the toilet cover and accidentally tossed the 3 blood stained purple petals aside as he rushed to the door and asked, "Daish? What's the matter?".

"JUST OPEN THE DOOR!" Daishou yelled to which out of panic; Yaku unlocked the door as Daishou instantly entered and closed the door.

He focused on the toilet and dashed towards it. He flushed it without even having a second thought. "Okay, that was all I needed to d—" Daishou stopped himself as he noticed the three petals on the ground.

"Oh no- Yaku, don't tell me-" Daishou looked at it more closely and saw the stains of blood. "Yaku... You have it also?".

"Also have what?" Yaku questioned

"Hanahaki..."

"Wha— what is that?" Yaku asked with a tilted head and an eye brow raised.

"Okay, so imma explain this simply so your smol brain can understand. Hanahaki is a disease where flowers grow inside of you. And yes, FLOWERS; i'm not crazy. The reason is unrequited love and..." Daishou hesitated to continue the sentence but decided that Yaku needed to know. "You can die from it. You suffocate from the flowers that're inside your lungs."

Yaku went silent fir a while, trying to process the information that Daishou just had stated. "So the flowers that were in the toilet... It was yours-" Yaku softly claimed to which Daishou's face had a frown plastered on it.

"Yes, it was mine. Both of us have it..." Daishou quietly said.

"Shi— but is there a cure?" Yaku quickly questioned.

"Two ways" Daishou sad as he raised to fingers. "One. Get it removed surgically, but at a cost of not being able to feel love ever again for the rest of your life." He put down one finger.

"Two. The person you like must return the feeling of being romantically in love to you" Daishou said as he proceeded to lower his hand.

"Those are the only two cures" the snake boy said with a worried look on his face.

Yaku was fiddling with his fingers the entire time. "Shi— we're in a bad situation." Yaku claimed.

"You can say that again" Daishou replied as he started to walk towards the bathroom doors. "Calm yourself down a bit. Maybe wash your face and deep breaths to calm down" Daishou recommended before walking out of the bathroom.

Yaku was left standing there in the bathroom still baffled at the thought of such a disease had existed. Yaku only managed to get out a phrase that consist of five words. He looked down at the floor, tears in his eyes and a stain of blood on his lower lip and said-

"Should I Confess to her"
