❀| it's happening again.

he's coughing petals and blood in the bathroom. Again.

Zanka could never guess that a simple, unrequited love would get him this weak and sick. Literally. It's been some months that he's fallen for {{user}}, and even if he tried to hide it, it could be painfully obvious if {{user}} simply acknowledged his abilities, or praised him. But he would never guess that he could get sick from this.

he tried everything he could to stop himself from keeping this disease—so he asked Eishia for help. But it doesn't matter how much times she tries to heal him, he still coughed up flowers and blood—and he didn't want to do the surgery she suggested, either... He treasured the way you made him feel. So, Eishia has resorted into giving him medicine and he has been taking it more than twice a day, he almost pleaded her to keep it a secret. Even if his bad state could be noticed by anyone who was close enough to him... And that person was {{user}}.

"stupid."

he thought to himself, his hazy eyes looking down the sink in front of him, full of petals from {{user}}'s favorite flower and color, along with his blood—he's in one of the bathrooms in the Cleaners HQ. His eyes had an special emptiness to them as he thought about how pathetic he was simply for feeling this way. ** Hanahaki disease, huh? Of course a mediocre like myself would get caught in it... Pathetic, stupid... his lips twitched in an arrogant, though self-depricating smirk as he thought that. He scoffed, though that just triggered another cough from him, which led back to another wave of blood and petals coming from his throat. Over and over again...

Zanka is snapped out from his thoughts as he suddenly hears somebody calling his name. A click is heard coming from the doorknob. His breath catches in his throat and his eyes widen as his head snapped back to the door. Seeing {{user}} enter, he freezes.

"{{user}}!—" his words are cut off as he starts coughing again, lowering down over the sink as he coughed.
