I stare at Tanaka from the gym entrance door. 'If only he would just look my way even if it-' I was interrupted from my thought because of someone clearing their throat. I turn to see Tsukki and Yams, my childhood best friends and as much as Tsukki was a pain in the ass, he is great at comforting people. "Wanna come in?" He asks with his resting bitch face. I smile up at him and nod. The three of us emerge into the room and before I can process anything someone tells 'watch out' I was seconds from being smacked into the face before Yams shielded me and Tsukki hit the ball back, saving both me and Yams. I smile gratefully at both of them. Tsukki gives a small smile and Yams gives me a bright one before they both head off to practice. The entire time I switch between Tsukki, Yams, and Tanaka. More Tanaka than anyone else. At the end of practice I get my stuff and wait for my besties at the gym door. During that time Tanaka comes up to me and asks me a question. "Hey y/n right?" I nod my head yes but I was having a party inside at the thought of him knowing my name at least. "I wanna ask my crush out and wanted to ask for some tips. Yachi is out today and your the only other girl that won't push me away." I blush before answering, "Maybe flowers and some chocolates.." I tell him. He thanks me and runs away. I shrug it off and continue waiting before Tsukki and Yams emerge from the changing rooms. I smile in their direction and Yams smiles back running up to me. We do our handshake and throw ourselves at Tsukki who falls over. "Really?" He says with his bitch face. I nod and Yams apologizes as he gets up and helps me up leaving Tsukki on the floor. He's too nice sometimes, I can't with this cute boi. "No one's gonna help me?" He asks sarcastically. "Yup!" I answer. Yamaguchi apologized again while helping Tsukki up. We then start walking home talking about homework and shit. Somehow we get to the topic of crushes. "So y/n any crushes?" Tsukkishima asks smirking. I furiously shake my head no with a red blush. " your face says otherwise~" he says as he continues teasing me. "Fine..tanaka.." I say mumbling the name. "What? " he asks moving his ear closer. I mumble it a bit louder. "Still can't hear youuu~" he teases. "Tanaka okay!" I shout in his ears. "Damn you ain't gotta be that loud." He says rubbing his ear. I give him a shit eating grin and his frown deepens. We then forget all about that and continue on until we get to my house. I wave them goodbye and walk into my dark and lonely house. It's fairly big. Present for me when my parents died. Got all their stuff because they both didn't have any siblings as they were both only children. Imagine. But they were semi-rich so that was a good factor in it. I walked to my room grabbing the granola bar I left on the way. Once I emerged into my dark room I turn on my led lights and changed. I then did my homework and scrolled through Tiktok once I was done. I fell asleep there on the table in the dining room.

When I got to school, I went to the fountain but saw something that broke my heart. Tanaka and Kiyoko were kissing! Kiyoko had flowers and a chocolate box in the game of a heart. He was asking me for Kiyoko not me! Ugh stupid naive me. I ran to the bathroom but on the way I bumped into Yamaguchi he immediately got me to sit down and I explained everything to him without him needing to ask. He called Tsukki over to the bench we were sitting but after a few minutes I started coughing hard. Soon enough a grey flower petal fell into my hands. We all stared at my bloody hand and flower petal with wide eyeds. I was shaking. "No..This can't be happening..I can't have the Hanahaki disease.." I told my two friends as I looked at the both of them. they both engulfed me in a hug and I hugged back staining there clothes with my tears. It was said to be impossible to get the Hanahaki disease but here I was with it. The warning bell rang and we separated. I went with Yamaguchi while Tsukki went to the advanced class. The entire day I kept on asking to go to the bathroom. During lunch I was called to the office. "Y/n are you okay? You keep on going to the bathroom in every class. It's worrying your teachers. " the principal asked with worry clear in his eyes. I started crying and explained to him that I have the Hanahaki disease. He felt even worse and let me go back to lunch. I went to sit with the volleyball guys and the entire time I stared at my food eating tiny bits. I didn't even finish half of my bento lunch by the time lunch was over. It was visible to me that the team was worried. All day they asked me if I was okay. Everyone but one person..Tanaka. I decided to take turns staying at Tsukki and Yamaguchi's houses. When I was alone in the bathroom I brought out my phone and searched up cures for the Hanahaki disease. The only answers I got made my heart drop lower.

How to cure the Hanahaki disease:
1. Your crush liking you back  'No he's happy with Kiyoko and if he's happy i am  too even if I may die from it'

2. Having the seed removed and losing your emotions 'Yams and Tsukki wouldn't like that..' 

3. Simply dying 'They definitely would choose number 2 over this one' or

4. falling in love with someone else and that person liking you back 'Probably gonna be too hard to find someone who likes me before i die'

I thought to myself as I cancelled every option but because of the disease I couldn't attend school so I stayed at Tsukki's house all day and play video games with his brother.

Two months later

I ran into the bathroom and leaned over the toilet coughing. Tsukkishima followed after me and held my hair away from my face. ' I have had this disease for two months now.' "Y/n we need to do something about this. You need to move on..you can't keep going like this." Tsukki warned rubbing circles in my back. " I know but it's hard..I had a crush on him for 2 years." I explained to him as I looked at the floor. "Hey! You guys were having the sad talk without me?" Yamaguchi said popping out of nowhere. "When did you knock?" Tsukki asked looking astonished. I laughed and the other two soon joined in but I ruined it by coughing again. After my coughing fit was done we all agreed to play Mario kart. We made a bet that I was gonna be first and Yamaguchi was gonna be second. I am an amazing gambler when it comes to these bets. I just don't understand why Tsukki won't admit it. This is how our days would go. Another two months went by before I actually showed up to school again. Everyone was shocked. They were staring and whispering to each other and If I'm being honest..it felt fucking great! Tsukkishima and Yamaguchi were flanking me in opposite side as if they were my bodyguards. I had no classes with any of the volleyball players so it was nice. I did go to the bathroom a couple of times either asking and just randomly running out the room but the teachers didn't scold me so I guess they knew. When lunch came it was really weird because at first it was quiet and only the 1st and 2nd years were talking and the 3rd years were staring wide eyed. When the 1st and 2nd years finally noticed everyone being quiet they turned their head to where everyone was facing. Once they saw me they went wide eyed. Hinata jumped up and ran to me but it was at that moment that I needed to cough so I swerved around him and ran to the bathroom. It hurt my throat so much. My flowers were now even more closer to full blooming. When I got back Tsukkishima was bullying Hinata because I ran to the bathroom. I scolded Tsukkishima and apologized to Hinata telling him that I urgently needed to go to the bathroom at that moment. (during the time of my disease I started getting feelings for both Tsukki and Yams so that's the only reason why it was going so slow) After practice Tanaka tried talking to me but I would always ignore him or run to Tsukki and Yamaguchi. I felt bad but I felt anger towards him.

One month later

Eventually I asked Tsukki and Yams out and they said yes. Four days later my throat felt normal again. Tanaka still kept on trying to talk to me so on Friday, I let him. "Why have you been avoiding me!?" Tanaka exclaimed. " I was ignoring you because I got the Hanahaki disease because of you." I said, jabbing his chest on the last three words. He stood there shocked and speechless. I turned my back on him and walked away to my next class. As soon as classes were over I basically ran to the gym. Once Tsukki and Yams saw me they smiled. I smiled back and threw myself at them once I was at the "appropriate distance" as Tsukki would call it. We almost fell but they caught their balance before we could. We looked at each other before laughing. They stopped short and when I noticed I stared at them confused. I met their eyes and saw them staring at my lips. I smiled and gave them a small peck on the lips before Sugamama (Sugawara/Suga) and Dadchi (Daichi) came out and started threatening them. I laughed and assured Suga and Daichi they weren't hurting me anyhow. It was really funny actually. Practice soon started after and the entire time I was watching Tsukki and Yams not even bothering to spare a glance at Tanaka. Once practice was over I ran over and have them a kiss in the cheek. Telling them how awesome they did Hinata style. They were both smiling as I jumped around explaining everything. Once we got to Yamaguchi's house we changed. (Tsukki brought extra clothes and I wore Yams T-shirt and Tsukki's sweater.) After we changed we cuddled. I was in the middle. Yamaguchi and Tsukkishima's heads were at the top of my head and I was in between their chests.

This is basically how we sleep
