HANAHAKI DISEASE

The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient coughs up flowers or flower petals. The only cure is to have that love reciprocated, or to somehow wipe away all one’s memories of their beloved person. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals.

1. Post your character with name, canon, and ship preferences in subject line. Also include whether you'd prefer your character to be the one suffering from the disease or not.
2. Tag other people.
3. Pain.
4. If you need help choosing specific flowers, this flower meaning chart might be a good starting point.

It's a leap even for me at my worst to decide that you having the poor taste to fall in love with me is further proof that God is punishing me for existing.

[ ...that came out much, much more bitter than she'd intended. she grimaces. ]

[goatsongs]

[That's really bitter, and Chuuya can't help but wince.

It's also bullshit.]

I have fucking excellent taste, thank you.

[ghostfromthemachine]

...I really want to argue that...

[ unvoiced, but still implied: but once again, you're not wrong. when you want to give your friend shit and also continue to wallow in your own self-loathing, but objectively recognize both of those things are terrible ideas ]

[goatsongs]

The girl I'm in love with is cute as hell. She's got great taste in literature, has a good sense of humor and a cute laugh, she's smart and gives good advice... She likes messing with people but I've never seen her pick on somebody in a mean way, not somebody who didn't deserve it, she's too good for that. But she doesn't let people push her around either.

Once she punched a tentacle monster in the face. It was awesome.

[Like, who the fuck doesn't want a girl who can kick the ass of an eldritch being.]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ ...HELLO 911 I APPARENTLY NEED TO REPORT A MURDER? making a stepped-on squeaky toy sort of noise after several moments of just staring at him

(there's something desperate—nearly hungry—to the look in her eyes.) ]

I— that was— I was mostly joking, Chuuya?

...I've only ever let you see the best of me.

[ and that's not so much a protest as it is a regret. ]

[goatsongs]

[get wrecked

Chuuya doesn't seem bothered much by the admission.]

Putting your best foot forward is pretty human. If we'd had more time, maybe, but it is what it is.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ making this unimpressed "ew" face at him in response to that comment and then poking him in the side ]

Don't lump me in as human, thank you very much... mm. Whose fault is it that we don't.

[goatsongs]

[Ow, rude?]

As opposed to when you get all 'I am a spirit of vengeance and not a person' et cetera. I still don't believe that shit. You're a person who happens to have a couple shrines.

[ghostfromthemachine]

I can be a person without being human. ...If I'm claiming not to be one at any point, that's less to do with vengeance and more to do with being in a bad enough mood I'm having trouble fighting off old habit.

[goatsongs]

...Well, I don't know what to do about bad moods except hug until they go away.

[Like he's doing now. He squeezes her a little.]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ somehow manages to turn the boneless flop up another notch? is she just liquid or something ]

...I'm mostly not in that kind of bad mood, so it's fine.

[goatsongs]

[the ink monster event is a different one]

Does that mean you don't want me to hug you?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ GIVES HIM A MILDLY PANICKED LOOK AND LATCHES ONTO HIS SHIRT ]

[goatsongs]

[God, that was cute. He coughs a little more over her shoulder, turning his head to the side so as not to cough directly onto her, but when that's done he's smiling, if weakly.]

That's what I thought.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ flattens herself a little to stay out of the way and makes the whiniest grumbling noise, red-faced

congratulations, Chuuya, you are not actually the only tsundere in the room! ]

[goatsongs]

[Cute as actual fuck.]

You don't need to be anywhere anytime soon, right? Because you're comfortable, on top of being the cutest goddamn person.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ what in hell did she do to deserve this. mumbled ]

...I was going to stay as long as you'd let me get away with...

[goatsongs]

Great. You're my pillow now.

[He will actually sleep on her, if she lets him.]

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ she's not going to deny a dying man?! ]

Chuuyaaa I can't even retaliate right now, have mercy

[goatsongs]

[Fair point.]

Nope. I'm a mean person and I'm going to abuse this opportunity to hug you.

[Truly, the most assholish of assholes.]

[ghostfromthemachine]

Truly, your cruelty knows no bounds.

[ ...she grumbles, deadpan, and then headbutts his shoulder the way a cat might ]

[goatsongs]

[She's a lot like a cat. He ends up patting her head, since it's there.]

I'm the worst of villains. Just awful.

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ ...makes a vaguely purry sort of pleased low rasp in the back of her throat in response to patting and stretches her legs. cat confirmed.

her hair is sticking to his hand like he'd rubbed it with a balloon, though. looks like that static goes two ways. ]

[goatsongs]

[Looks like it does. That shouldn't be a surprise.]

You're cute as hell, you know that?

[ghostfromthemachine]

[ gives him one of those sulky grouchy looks, only to soften when she really registers his expression. the mission try to make whatever time Chuuya has left reasonably happy is at least partially a success, and so is her more selfish attempt to make as many memories with him in that time as she can.

and if she can make enough— if she can see more of who he is with someone he's let in, then maybe... ]

It probably helps that I'm sucking up.
