02

It started on Monday.
Your throat would itch, It felt so dry.
It was harder to breath for some reason. Dry petals of faded yellow would turn up after a few coughs.
Of course you just brushed it off, thinking it was your quirk's fault.

How wrong you were.

You saw him with her.

So happy.

Why can't you be like that around me?

Why can't you just smile for me?

You smile, a facade. Yet your rage has met its boiling point.

<><><><><>

<Before school>

You would stalk him.

Not creepily, but you couldn't help it.

This feeling in your chest made you desire.

You

Need

Love.

It was quite simple in words but you knew deep down that this love would be unrequited.

Along the hallway you watch, you prowl. The bi-colored haired male a far off way. You can see him talking to Momo.

Itching.

You were hurting.

That feeling somehow made its way to your chest. It tickles but it hurts.
Seeing him laugh and joke around with her made you feel-

...

.......

—Cough—

Petals yellow, the flower so vibrant.
You coughed up an entire flower. You shake in fear, something you loved so much, caused you pain.
The daffodil in your trembling hands, eyes stinging with tears.

"W-what?" Shock caused you to stutter, you couldn't comprehend
the situation at the moment.

You were scared.

For once, you were scared.

<After school>

"Wait up!" Your tiny legs carried you to the horizon.

Your gaze locks with his, one of the beautiful moments you won't forget.

Is his eyes.

His longing gaze.

His soul.

Your heart soars when you're near him.

The path gets clearer, you see another figure next to him. You squint your eyes, trying to clear the unknown guest.

It's Momo.

Your legs began to tremble, slowing down. Your legs have turned to jelly.

You fall.

Your form hurdles down, tumbling towards them.

"(L/n)!" Shoto shouts, concerned.  He bent down to your level.

Your scarlet stained hands down on the floor, wounded and bruised. Tears sting in your eyes. Your coughing, rugged and harsh.

Warm hands reach your shoulders, enveloping you in a calming aura. Looking up to meet his eyes made you calm down.

"Are you okay?" He asks, his worried gaze reaches your hurt gaze.

"I-I-a..." She stutters.

  "I'm fine."

Lies.

Why do I lie?

She clears her throat, flowers threatening to release.

"I was just gonna ask you-"

"(L/n)!" Momo cries out worriedly. 

"You're bleeding!" she points out to your scraped hands.

Why?

Why do you cause me anguish and jealousy?
