Erasermic hanahaki "Only You"

Friday (Part 1)

Hizashi's POV:

I came home last night, terrified of today. When I got home, Hamako was surprisingly there. I asked her if she would pick me up after school and she said no, but that she be home when I got home. That was good enough. Now it was the day, and I had chills. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and felt the carpet under my feet. I was not ready for today. I got up and stumbled towards the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I splashed water into my face and stared into my own eyes. That's when it hit me.

I looked into my eyes and saw pure distress. The cheesy smile that I constantly use to wear on my face was now just a plastic and disturbing image. I was doing the right thing by breaking up with Hamako. I put a genuine smile and did some finger guns in the mirror. I put my hair up and put on my glasses before leaving the bathroom. I glanced back into the room at Hamako and she was still there. I put on my jacket, shoes, and headphones and I was out the door.

Shota's POV:

I woke up and I felt like absolute shit. Specifically my neck and throat. I got up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. When I did, what I saw was terrifying. There was a large gaping wound with flowers sprouting out. I winced and deciding to hop in the shower. When I got out I dressed the wound best I could and got dressed for work. Finally, I put on my shoes and carefully put on my scarf before grabbing my keys and heading out the door.

Hizashi's POV:

I walked out of my apartment and saw Shota walk out of his. "Hey!" I walked down the hallway towards him and met him half way. "Where were you yesterday after school?" I said, knowing that he probably wouldn't give a legitimate answer being that he was not a morning person. However, all Shota did was tilt his head and rest it on my shoulder. "I appreciate you Zashie."

I blushed. It was kinda random for him to suddenly be so nice. "Hey! You alright Sho?" He didn't answer. I caressed his head softly and he lifted his head off my shoulder. "We should get going or we are going to be late." I said. "Yeah..." *cough, cough* He was coughing again. "Hey, are you good? I asked Nemuri what's up and she said you had a cold and that it was just draining your energy.... but that doesn't sound like a fucking cold."

"Well it is." I was about to say something, but I knew I wouldn't get anything out of the most stubborn bitch on planet earth. I just sighed and we started walking to the elevator.

[At school]

Shota's POV:

Me and Hizashi went to school together and when we got there we headed to our classrooms. I got ready for the day and cleaned down the classroom. "I wonder if Ms. Hina will be here today." I wondered, and no less than 2 minutes later, I felt the presence of someone else and turned around to see the girl. She didn't look as happy as she did before. There was a melancholy feeling in the air and I couldn't bring myself to apologize. "Goodmorning Ms. Hina." She didn't say anything.

[At the end of the day]

The day went by like a blur. I only remember a few little things from my lesson, but not much. I packed up my stuff and started heading home.
