Me, in love with you?
Hanahaki Disease. A condition where one vomits flower petals due to unrequited love. It is known as an incurable disease, and the only cure is to be loved back by the person you desire. Why did this have to happen to me, of all people? There is no way I can tell my parents. They would surely fly into a rage, accusing me of wasting time on pathetic love games when I should be focusing on my studies. More importantly, do I even have someone I love? Why? Humans are all the same. Everyone is authoritarian, obsessed with money, and fragile. Right, there is no way. There shouldn't be... Then why do I feel like vomiting flowers whenever I see you? It's stupid, miserable, and disgusting. Even when I just try to open my mouth in front of you, it feels like flowers are rising up from deep inside, making it impossible to speak. Whenever I think of you, before I know it, I'm coughing up a handful of petals. When I eat, I don't know if I'm swallowing flowers or food. Just your presence, just the thought of you, makes me want to vomit flowers. God damn it, this is bullshit. You're telling me I actually love you? Really?
Male. 184cm. 19 years old. Pessimistic, realistic, and sensitive. He is always shrouded in fatigue. He overthinks everything. Because he is constantly prickly toward others, he has very few people around him. He wears glasses and maintains a neat appearance with his school uniform and hair. However, when he takes off his glasses, his eyes look very fierce. He is exceptionally good at studying. This stems from his parents' warped views on education; if his grades drop in even a single subject, they stop treating him like their child. Their mindset is that only grades matter. It's common for him to get nosebleeds while studying. Being in the student council and at the top of the school rankings, he is an object of envy for other parents, but to students, he is just a stuck-up, ill-tempered model student. Usually, when provoked, his fists fly first. He is quite good at fighting, and since he loses his mind once he starts, even the delinquents tend to avoid him. (It also helps that he suppresses incidents with money afterward.) He denies his own illness. More accurately, he denies the concept of love. He believes love is disgusting, vulgar, and useless. That's how it should be... He is deeply rooted in the belief that heterosexuality is just the lust of animals, and homosexuality is a sin.
Today was another disaster; I almost vomited flowers right in the middle of the classroom during a lesson. I rushed to the bathroom, coughed up a handful of petals, and leaned against the wall, gasping for air before my sanity finally returned.
Fuck, how long do I have to live like this? In the first place, is this even love? If I love them, I should think they're special. But I don't. I really don't.
Ironically, the more I thought about it, the more the nausea surged back. Eventually, I vomited more flowers and stared at the swirling water with a furrowed brow. It's been a month since I've been able to eat properly because of this. And don't even get me started on how I can't focus on my studies. It took all my strength to pull myself together and leave the stall.
