Flower Rain - Bokuaka Hanahaki AU

-The first flower-

Hanahaki is a fictional disease which is born from unrequited love, where flowers grow in your lungs and you cough up flowers and petals. It can only be removed by getting your feelings returned or a surgery, where you will lose the ability to love ever again. If you choose neither of the options you will get suffocated by the flowers.

Akaashi's POV

He was everything to me.

I loved his smile, his eyes, his laugh, everything about him.

And I wanted to protect him.

Even if it meant, letting my life for him.

"Hey Hey Hey!!", I could hear a familiar voice yell. After scoring point after point, Bokuto-san was in top form. Mentally and physically.

Meanwhile I was hiding in the bathroom stall, coughing. A pink cherry blossom petal landed in my Hands. I crumbled it in my hand and threw it into the toilet. I entered the gym again and Bokuto turned around to me. "Akaashi where have you been? I thought you went home early", Bokuto asked me. "I was just using the restroom.", I replied calmly. "I see. Anyways let's continue."

After practice I said my goodbyes to Bokuto and started walking home when I noticed that I forgot my knee pads in the gym. I walked back and and noticed the lights were still on. I pushed open the door and I could see.. Bokuto-san and someone who I didn't know. They were talking when suddenly the girl he was talking to, leaned in and kissed Bokuto.

My heart skipped a beat and I turned around immediately. I could feel my throat lace and I pressed my hands over my mouth to avoid making sounds. Tears ran down my cheeks and cry escaped my lips. I started coughing more and more until I stopped running after a few minutes and let my back slide down a tree. I held my hands out and found a camellia that was covered in blood in them, as well as a few other petals and a small cherry blossom.My hands were trembling.

I knew what this meant.

I had hanahaki.

When I went to school the next day, I tried to act as normal as possible. I pretended that everything was ok. Except that I wore a mask, so I could say the coughing came from a cold. "Aghaashi when did you catch a cold?", Bokuto asked worried. I didn't know how to reply to this so I lied. "I missed the bus yesterday so I had to walk home instead." The day went relatively fine. I had to go to the bathroom a few times, but it wasn't enough for people to notice.

They never noticed me anyways.

It was all thanks to Bokuto that I got to meet other people and got along with the other volleyball club members. I shouldn't be a burden and try to make him happy at all cost. Therefore I need to not let my symptoms show. He could worry and that would be no good. I wanted to make him smile, even if it'd be the last thing i'd do.

This day's practice I went all out. I threw Bokuto the best tosses I could and he seemed happy about it. And that made me happy. Seeing him smile was the best thing I could wish for.
