hinata shouyou————————————
You and Hinata have been friends since middle school. You met him during the girls Volleyball practice, he kept spiking the ball by himself. You watched him sadly hit the ball and sighed, walking over to him.
"Do you need me to set for you?" you asked, trying to stand to look taller than him. "Could you?" he got all excited as you nodded. And ever since then, you two have become great friends.
By now you both were in highschool, same class and everything. Though once he met new girl Yachi, he started distancing himself from you. Everyone noticed, it was as if you werent alive anymore. Like you were a ghost. He finally noticed you, with the help of Yachi. Taken aback on how he had forgotten about the two of you guys' friendship.
"y/n.. I'm sorry I forgot about you. I was so busy with volleyball." he lied, hoping you would believe him. You wanted to believe him but you've known him for too long, and saw right through his lies. "It's alright!" you exclaimed, hiding your emotions.
"But anyways, I have something really important to tell you.. and I kind of need your help." he said, occasionally glancing at Yachi, who was watching from afar. You nodded, telling him to tell you what it was. For some reason you were eager to find out what it was, whether it was good or bad.
"So, yknow Yachi..?" he whispered. "I really like her but I dont know how to tell her." he continued, asking for your help. Hearing this broke your heart, but you just brush that feeling off. In any case, you were happy as long as hinata was happy.
You kindly agreed, "oh uhm. don't you have practice today?" you said, changing the subject.
He nodded and ran to the gym, leaving you alone in the middle of the school yard. You started walking home, thinking about what Hinata said. Your throat started itching as you walked through the neighborhood. You took out the handkerchief from your pocket and covered your mouth.
You started coughing violently. You looked at the handkerchief in your hand. blood.. petals..? You tilted your head in confusion as your throat started itching again. You ran as fast as you could in the direction of the hospital. Worried for your own health.
You got there in no time, though out of breath. Again, you coughed into the handkerchief, letting the blood and petals leave your throat, giving you room to breathe. Weakly, you walked into the hospital. Then somehow.. you fell to the floor. Gasping for air as the rose petals filled your throat. People rushed to you calling for a doctor then.. your vision completely disappeared.
You woke up lost, looking around to find yourself in a room. "Oh thank goodness your okay!" the doctor came in, letting out a soft sigh. "What happened?" you asked.
"You have the hanahaki disease.." you tilted your head in confusion, youve never heard of this disease before. "It's common throughout unrequited love. When the person you love doesnt love you back whether you know it or not. Then you start coughing up flower petals and blood. Which explains your handkerchief. You could get the flower within you removed through surgery, but that unfortunately has a good chance of taking away your ability to love, or feel emotion in general." he/she continued.
"Will I get better..?" tears started to pool in your eyes as you got a perfect description on who caused this misfortune.. Hinata... it was true. You fell in love with him. The way he laughs, his sudden burst of energy, and his kind personality. Those small aspects made you fall in love with him. But he wasnt in love with you.
