Tanaka started down at his hand in shock. his palm was outstretched in front him, holding a single sunflower petal. He was currently behind his team, who was all staring at him a few feet away.

"Uh... you good bro? Do you need water?" Nishinoya had asked. They were currently walking towards Ukai's shop for meat buns when Tanaka had broke into a coughing fit.

"Oh, uh. Yeah, no, I'm, uh, fine." Tanaka looked back up at his teammates and shook his hand off to the side, the petal falling, going unnoticed.

The teenagers shared glances of confusion and worry as the second year jogged back with them, only for Hinata to cling to his side right after.

"Tanaka-senpai!"

"Yes, my kouhai?"

"What's it like to have no hair?"

Giggles were heard throughout the team from the small boy's question. "Wha?! Hey! I still have hair!" Tanaka made one of his faces as his cheeks heated up. Hinata was looking at him with sparkling eyes, obviously not seeing the offensive part and wanting an answer.

The second year sighed and responded. "Well, I guess there's really no extra weight on your head? I don't know. It's been awhile." His hand met Hinata's curly locks and ruffled them as Hinata gasped.

"So maybe if I cut mine, I could jump higher?"

"UH NO- You're cuter with your hair. Don't cut it." Tanaka remarked, turning insanely red after realizing what he said. The team didn't seem to notice his comment, though, since they all agreed.

Hinata went back to smiling and bounced off, Tanaka's eyes trailing the small body and his lunges started to burn...

II

Tanaka was seated on his bed, two weeks after his coughing fit. It had been weird since he started to get this burning feel in his chest area. Precisely his lunges, but paid no mind to it. Instead, he was scrolling through Hinata's instagram page.

This was also weird. About a month ago, Hinata seemed to be the only thing on his mind. He would make him feel better even if he wasn't sad. Seeing him made him happy.

And then it happened again.

His throat felt like it was rising, and a cough escaped his lips. More and more coughs came out one after the other. He couldn't breathe, and fell his bed. His hands were on the ground in front of him as footsteps could be heard growing louder.

"Ryuu?! Ryuu!!" Saeko had called out, just reaching her brothers door frame.

"What the-"

Two sunflower petals were falling from Ryuunosuke's mouth (It's kinda weird to say Tanaka here when they're both named Tanaka) and onto the floor. Ryuu's breath hitched as he tried to calm down, sitting up from his position while Saeko was frozen in place.

"Oh no... Oh god... Oh god, Ryuu. I-"

Ryuu turned to look at Saeko with helpless eyes. "Hanahaki..." Saeko whispered, inaudible to the younger boy. "How long had this been going on?!"

Ryuu paused for a moment while Saeko reached his side, bending down and picking up a petal.

"I remember..." Ryuu's voice was messed up. "Two weeks ago I think, after practice I started coughing and a petal came out. But I didn't think it was from me."
