19 parts Complete Something has been different in Class 1-A lately. The nerdy cup of cheer known as Midoriya 'Deku' Izuku has been wearing a medical mask to class. No one is entirely sure why, as he won't say more than "I'm fine", or "It's just a cough", even when it clearly is more than that. At least, Kaminari Denki thinks so.
Kaminari has been crushing on Midoriya for quite a while now. Recently, he's been planning to confess. Mostly to try and cheer the boy up, as he's seemed quite down recently. But, Kaminari is racked with self-doubt. He's not sure if he actually is going to end up confessing. What if they don't like him?
Meanwhile, Midoriya is hiding the severity of his condition from everyone. He doesn't want them to know. He doesn't want them to worry. Most of them aren't very concerned, but a few are. He claims it's just a cough. Says it'll pass eventually. Pretends he isn't coughing up bloodied petals. Pretends he doesn't have feelings for a certain someone. After all, there was no way they liked him back, right?

Hey! CiCi, the author, is here! So, this is a Kamideku fic. There will be manga spoilers, as this takes place during the three-month time skip we saw not too long ago in the manga, after the Meta Liberation Army Arc. This is very non-canonical. If you can't tell, this has got a whole lot of angst as well as some of that good old Hanahaki disease. Also, I'm heavily messing around with how exactly Hanahaki works, cause, like, quirks, yeah? So, the PoV switches each chapter, therefore some chapters will be significantly shorter than others, and some will be a whole lot longer. For example- the first few chapters are significantly shorter than some of the later ones. This is my first time truly writing a ship fic, or even really writing out the whole story of any fic, so, uh, yeah.
Enjoy the story!
