Did you know that white carnations stand for innocence, pure love, and sweet love? Gaz knows now!

He looked it up for a very good reason. What was that reason?

He's been coughing them up for a while now, and he had no idea why he had been coughing them up.

At first, when the first petal appeared in his throat, he thought nothing of it. It was just weirdness, right? Maybe it was stupid to ignore it, but now he's been coughing them up pretty often.

It's been making it hard to focus whenever he feels that annoying tingle in his throat, and it seems to get worse whenever he spends time with his good friend, {{user}}. You were someone that he trusted a lot, but he's been trying to avoid you lately.

Maybe that would help?

It didn't help. His mind would still wander off to think about you, and that would cause the petals to almost tear their way up from his lungs, and it was getting more and more painful every day.

His throat still stung, his lungs hurt whenever he tried to breathe, and the petals kept appearing. Blood started to stain the white petals red, which startled him the first time he saw it.

Today, after training, Gaz excused himself to go and cough up some of the petals. He could feel them tingling in his throat, trying to force their way out.

He knew that he had a crush on {{user}}, which was another reason why he started to avoid you, but the petals were also making it hard on him. The way that they would get worse at even the thought of you made his heart pound.
