Ashido and Bakugou sat in Kirishima's hospital room. The boy had drips in his arms and what looked like thorns, protruding his skin. "Hanahaki..." Ashido muttered and Bakugou whipped his head towards her. "What?" He looked at her. Mina said nothing. "What did you say, Racoon eyes?" His tone was stern. Ashido exhaled. "Eiji has Hanahaki.." She repeated. "The fuck is that?" Katsuki looked at the alien. "It's from one sided love. Kiri likes someone a lot, and this person doesn't like him back." She explained. "Flowers bloom in his lungs and he vomits and or, coughs up flower petals." Bakugou's face warped with worry. "Can it be cured?" He asked. Ashido nodded, the ash blonde relieved. "Through surgery, but if he gets it he won't be able to have these feelings. The other way is if the person likes him back. With the second option, the flowers take time to go away." The two went back into silence. 'If the person likes him back..' The words echoed in Katsuki's mind. "Do you know who it is?" He asked. "No." Ashido lied. Mina was with Kirishima when he first got it. She had to keep quiet about it. "He never said anything." She finished.
