Growing A Garden (Kamibaku)

"Why should I help you? Bakugou is in critical condition and he can't be seen right now. He's hurt and your so called friend named Denki Kaminari hurt him. Why do you think that I would allow him to see Bakugou after what he had done," Shinso asked as he looked through the crack between the door and the door frame.

"Please Shinso! You've got to help us get Bakugou out of the house or his dorm room. We haven't talk to him in days! He hasn't been replying to his texts or anything! Please Shinso! Please let us see Bakugou... This might be the only way to get back the old Bakugou. That's something we all want... Right?" Sero asked holding out his hand and Shinso looked at it for a bit as he analyzed the situation.

"Fine... I'll see but we've got to be really sneaky about this. That means no telling anyone about this. Bakugou might be cooped up in his room but he isn't the one to get caught unaware. He's smart even if he's in a struggle. Kaminari just needs a small push. Out of the both of them I think that Bakugou will be the hardest. He's stubborn and his sickness isn't getting any better," Shinso said stepping out of his dorm room.

"What is wrong with Bakugou? He's still sick? Are you sure Shinso? Didn't the doctors say that he would be fine in a couple of days? He's been sick for the past few weeks! Is there something you're not telling us or is Bakugou's health just that bad?" Kirishima asked and Shinso just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Yeah come one man! We've got to know these kind of things because we've got to help Bakugou! If we know a lot we can help each other! So things can be easier!" Sero said with a smile and Shinso couldn't help but sigh.

"Their practically telling you to spill buddy. You know that we're the Bakusquad. We're the crackhead family. We stick up and care for each other. So you better tell us what's wrong with Bakugou. Cause we're getting the answers out of you," Mina said and Shinso finally snapped and knew he couldn't hide anything anymore.

"Bakugou has Hanahaki... You know the weird legend about love? Bakugou was hit by a quirk while out patrol and was attacked. It caused him to gain Hanahaki... So now things are getting worse because Bakugou believes that Kaminari doesn't love him. So if we want Bakugou to get through this then we better get the together. In fast too because I don't think Bakugou can fight through this illness much longer. Legend or not it's still deadly," Shinso said and all of the friends looked as one another trying to figure things out.

"So what do you think we should do? If Bakugou is sick because of his feelings towards Kami we need to fix this as fast as possible. I know I can probably get Kami out of his room. But how are you guys going to get Bakugou out? He's a really hard nut to crack. It's almost impossible! He can be so stubborn!" Mina said and all the other boys, except for Shinso, agreed with her.

"I got Bakugou. With a bit of help I can get him out of his little hiding hole. Just try and get them into a room alone together. I'll text you once I've got Bakugou. When you get Kaminari we can get the two together. If one won't leave their room we'll bring one to the other. If I can't get Bakugou out of his room get ready to force Kaminari into the explosive blonde's room," Shinso said and the others nodded soon breaking up their little huddle group.

Meanwhile Bakugou was at home. Eri was off of school that day and was hanging out with his big brother. Eri was trying so hard not to cry. She didn't want her older brother to go. Yeah she loved Shinso... But she loved Bakugou just as much. The might have not known each other for a long time but they've bonded. Bakugou had taken care of her. Eri wanted to be there for the blonde. But How does a little girl help someone who is dying?

"Hey Eri... Why are you crying?" A gruff voice asked and Eri couldn't help but flinch. He sounded so defeated and in pain. It was like all of that heroic determination was sucked out of them.

"I don't want my bestest brother to die... I want you to be number one hero! I want you to reach the tippy top! How can you do that if your dead? I don't want Bakugou to die. Daddy already told me about it. I don't want you to die... I don't want you to die. I don't want my best fwend to die," Eri said soon breaking down into tears as time progressed and she got more and more words out.

"Eri just be happy you met me. I'm happy that you called me your bother. I love to take care of you. I'm proud of you and if I can't make it? If I can't be the number one hero? Well screw that! I want you to be the best hero when you grow up. If I can't make it then I want you to carry on the legacy. If you can do that for me than I'll be the happiest brother in the world," Bakugou said and Eri began to cry more.

"I will! I'll do it! I'll be the bestest hero in the world! I'll save everyone! I'll be everyone's hero! I'll help and save everyone!" Eri said and Bakugou sighed with a smile and put a hand on the little girl's head.

"Eri... Being a hero isn't about helping everyone. It's not about being the best hero in the world. It's saving the people you can. When helping people there are going to be some people who you can't help. But the people you can help? Go right ahead! Help them to your heart's content. That's what makes a hero a good hero. Even if their not number one. Their going to be number one in the hearts of everyone. It doesn't matter if your number one of last. By the end of the day it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you saved people and that you know your worth," Bakugou said and let out a slight cough afterwards.

"Bakugou? Are you ok?" Eri asked as she realized the slight cough might have triggered a coughing fit.

Bakugou slapped his hand over his mouth. Blood seeping through his fingers as coughs began to shake his whole body. He keeled over and Eri just sat there her eyes full of tears as she was so worried. But all she did was rub Bakugou's back trying to sooth him and show him that she was still there by his side. Bakugou soon stopped coughing and sat back up. But when his face was seen by Eri the little girl pulled her hand away from her big brother. She was utterly terrified...

"Eri? Are you ok? I told you once in awhile I'm going to have severe coughing fits. It's just the vines spreading through my system a bit. That's what Hanahaki is so you've got to stop becoming so surprised when seeing my struggle to breath. I'll be fine," Bakugou asked and noticed the little girl wanted to reach her hand out towards Bakugou. Bakugou soon let her hand touch his face and what Eri's fingers brushed against made her blood run cold.

Flowers were starting to grow over the left side of Bakugou's face...

Yellow Dahlias...
