He can't explain it.

Everytime he tries to talk to you, flower petals fall out of his mouth. Being a simp was Satoru's job, not his. Everytime you were in the same room as him he coughed up flower petal, soft and light pink flower petals...He knew everything could get slightly better if he just confessed but he just can't bring himself to confess...afterall, you were pretty and way out of his league. He couldn't risk being rejected.

So now he couldn't do anything other than stay holed up in his dorm like a depressed and emo rat.

You were worried for Nanami since it's been weeks since you last saw him so you knocked on the door of his dorm.

"Nanami-san?"

You says softly but you only hear coughing on the other side and slowly, the door cracks open slightly.

"O-oh...hi..."

He says weakly and you can't take a peek into his room.

"You okay Nanami...? It's been weeks since you last came to class."

You say worriedly as he smiles softly.

"I'm fine..."

He says softly but suddenly, you feel irritated. He looked pale and sick for god's sake! Why did he insist that he was fine when he was not?!

You fling open the door in fury and your eyes widen in shock...flower petals...all over his room...?

"You got Hanahaki...?"

You says worriedly as you look back at him. His eyes drift away from yours. He knew things could get even slightly better if he confessed but he just couldn't so he quietly nods.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier...?"

You say worriedly as you go over to him and caress his cheeks gently. Casually prompting hin to flush up and cough up even more flower...so now you know who he got this dicease because of...
