So here’s the Acheron request i’ve talked about! Can i request hcs of Acheron x Kiana Kaslana reader? Yeah it’s kinda simple but i just wanted to see how would this version of Raiden Mei be like with someone like our dear tuna.

- Flower Anon 🌸

Hello Flower Anon!! Thank you so much for this request, because I honestly miss our Tuna sooo much!! With that said, the reader is based off of pre-HoV "awakening" Kiana(I MISS HER SM😭✨️)!

Content: Kiana Kaslana reader, slight angst, fluff, Acheron being dense, mutual pinning, confessions, sfw

Reader has no set pronouns!

((Not fully proofread))

For a while, Acheron couldn't help but think that she was a damper on the unrelenting sun that shone down on her. That sun being you, ofcourse, bright and bubbly, never letting her stray from your side voluntarily. You were wild, free and full of life, something so rare for the galaxy ranger to see, or experience for that matter.

She is therefore very protective over you, not a singular soul being allowed in your vacinity, if Acheron herself didn't trust them. She kept her eyes on you even when you couldn't see her, hidden away in the shadows. Some would say that she was afraid of losing you and in a way, that was true. But she was also worried that you'd somehow get into trouble again, like you often did. She kept her hand on her sword at all times when it came to you, especially when she knew that danger was near.

Speaking of you causing trouble, she usually gets dragged into whatever shenanigans you've caused, mainly becaus she doesn't want you to get hurt. Not that she minds though. Somehting about fighting at your side made her feel nearly nostalgic, alive. These emotions are one's she craves and she's grateful that you allow her to experience them, even if it ends in a huge fist fight against some drunks in the dreamscape.

You are spared from her memory loss, as you are all she ever fully thinks about. Everything regarding you was attached to an emotion that keeps her remembering and you can't forget someone who's always glued at your side anyways. Your presence gives her pleasant dreams, dreams she cherished deep down more than anything.

Your dates often consist in wild adventures or more quiet baking days, which she found to prefer more with you. Something about it all felt familiar and soothing, but perhaps it was just you that made her feel so warm and safe.

WOWW... Bxnny actually posting something? Shocking, I know, although I will blame life and sickness for my absence (what's new-). Anyhow, I'm sorry this took so long, Flower anon, and thank you again for the great request!!<33

[laismoura-art]

Hey everyone! Remember when I told y'all I was gonna make a huge post about Harumi Shirai being playable? Well, it's heeeeere!! :D ✨️

Before we start! A thanks to @meme099 for requesting this post and a thanks to all my Harumi girlies (in special @mikka-minns @thedragonholder @madamealtruist @orbitinytheworld and @running-with-the-feels ) who have always been so supportive of my Harumi content! Hope you guys enjoy this!🩷

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Canon info used as inspo:

Harumi and Kuai are childhood friends and are in a relationship;

Harumi is head of her clan (that is not the Shirai Ryu);

Harumi uses her knowledge as Grandmistress to help Kuai and Tomas assemble the Shirai Ryu;

Harumi has connections with the Umgadi.

Everything else I used is based on Headcanons of mine, Harumi's clan being the most blatant case, I'll be linking previous posts in case you want more details!

I wanted to make Harumi a brand new character, with her own unique backstory and skill set! (It's what she deserves)

With all that in mind, LET'S BEGIN!

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

TW: This will be much more explicitly violent than my regular Tumblr content, as there will be Fatalities and Brutalities. I know in this Fandom this is expected, but as it's not usual for MY content, I feel like a warning is welcome!

New Playable Fighter: Harumi Shirai🌸

🌸 Bio:

Fierce leader, talented herbalist and honorary Umgadi, Harumi Shirai is the head of her clan, the Order of Cetrion.

Founded by her ancestors and composed by women only, her clan uses their skills to aid the Elder Goddess of Life and Virtue, Cetrion, in her never-ending mission to protect all life in Earthrealm.

Nowadays, Harumi is not only the Grandmistress of her clan, but also mentor of her childhood friend and lover, Kuai Liang, as he struggles and persists in his quest to assemble a clan that will rival the Lin Kuei's might and serve as Earthrealm's new line of defence.

For more of my thoughts and HCs on Harumi and her clan, you can read these:

🌸 Gear:

As stablished in the previously mentioned posts The Daughters of Cetrion are herbalists with access to Outworldly magic and spices, so most her arsenal will reflect that!

Bottles of healing potions and deadly poisons.

Pouches of grated herbs that can heal, cause allergic reactions and, of course, kill. (Pocket sand!)

A scythe (small one, used to harvest plants but can and will slit a throat)

It is canon that Harumi has connections with the Umgadi and it's safe to assume she was trained by them (my HC is that Li Mei was her teacher), so I gave her an Umgadi skill:

Umgadi energy constructs. Only the Grandmistresses are allowed to learn this skill from the Umgadi. Harumi's constructs are pink and she shapes them like flowers and red foxes (a nod to her Animality).

🌸 Skins:

Now being quite fair, MK1 can be hardly known for its variety in skins. It is however, pretty creative when if comes to colour palettes, so I decided to rely on that!

Bellow you have Harumi's main outfit, the long sleeve nods to her canon fit while the rest was made with her clan in mind (the main reference were Cetrion's outfits)

The Grandmistress: The main colour. This is her Grandmistress outfit, all in pinkish tones, which I HC to be her family's colours)

The Scorpion: 1st colour variant has my Scorpion!Harumi colours, with a brighter shade of pink and yellow (the flower on her hair nods to her Scorpion hairpin)

Daughter of Cetrion: 3rd variation brings her clan's colours, a mix of her family's colours and Cetrion's. The colours are to represent their commitment as protectors of life and nature.

Li Mei's Apprentice: 4th variation is for her Umgadi outfit! She wears the traditional shades of yellow and silver!

The Shirai Ryu's Bride: 5th variation has Kuai's colours (and yes, the name is a nod to their relationship)

Honorary Lin Kuei: 6th variation might look controversial, but I find it hard to believe Harumi was only Kuai's friend. I HC Harumi was named honorary Lin Kuei warrior many years ago. (She wears Bi-Han’s colours to imply they were once friends too)

Bonus info:

Kuai has two of her colour palettes, "The Grandmistress" as nod to their relationship and "Daughter of Cetrion" as I HC him to be a honorary Cetrion warrior;

I drew Harumi slightly different here to make her resemble her new face model, Jiwon Ra, but I kept some of my HCs, meaning her freckles and slight heterochromia;

The tattoo on Harumi's arm is the Umgadi insignia and the pendant on her belt is her clan's.

🌸 Special moves:

Fireworks: Harumi shoots fireworks through her finger (Umgadi magic) they work as projectiles and can be shot to any height and also as she jumps or ducks; (it looks like Charlie's fireworks)

Witchy makes you dizzy: She throws a concoction that makes the opponent dizzy (it inverts your remote);

Pocket sand: She throws a pouch that makes the opponent cough (makes them stand in place)

They don't bite... much: Harumi creates two foxes with her constructs and sends them to bite the opponent;

Cetrion's healer: She uses one of her potions to heal herself.

Bonus: For stronger hits and during kombos, she will strike with her scythe;

She throws bottles and pouches of potions during her kombos.

The first and fourth move can become Brutalities. With "Fireworks" she blows up the opponent and with "They don't bite... much" her foxes eat the opponent alive.

🌸 Fatal Blow:

Beware the Forest Witch:

Harumi blows one of her powder mixes on the opponents face, the powder makes their skin itchy and they scratch their face aggressively (drawing a lot of blood).

She steps back and sends her foxes, the creatures start to bite, one of them givas a particularly strong bite, breaking the opponets leg, the other breaks their arm right after.

Harumi finishes the move with a firework attack, breaking the opponents ribs and sending them away!

The Fatal Blow can also be used as a brutality, her foxes will tear the opponents limbs off as they bite them!

🌸 Fatality:

Sacrifice for the Goddess:

Harumi uses her constructs to open holes into the opponent's chest and stomach.

She calmly walks closer, holding a pouch and a bottle as she's still deciding which one to use.

She places the pouch in the opponent's stomach hole and the bottle on their chest hole, only to change her mind at the last minute and replace the bottle with another one from her belt.

She places a smaller bottle at the opponent's mouth and slowly walks away.

The bottles and pouch explode into plants and vines with beautiful flowers that start to grow inside the opponent's holes and mouth as they fall backwards. The opponent starts to look like a gory flower pot.

From the opponent's mouth grows a singular pink flower, which Harumi gently plucks and sniffs as her victory is announced.

🌸 Intro animations:

When she's pushed away by her opponent, she carves her scythe on the ground to stop her momentum. Her foxes constructs are already by her side. She pets them to assure she's ok and raises up saying "my foxes will be eating well today"

When she's the one pushing, she distances herself with a one-handed cartwheel and a back flip. Her hands glows as she moves, summoning flowery shapes around them. She mocks the opponent calling them "fertilizer for Cetrion's gardens"

🌸 In-between rounds animation:

When she wins: She recreates her foxes constructs and pets them, sweetly calling them "good boys"

When she loses: She uses one of her potions to "heal" herself (she'll grunt in pain and anger as she does)

🌸 Victory animation:

She will use her constructs to slightly recriate this one victory animation of Cetrion from MK11. Her foxes will be lying by each of her sides.

🌸Ending:

"The arrival of Titan Shang Tsung inspired many other foes to rise and act on their darkest desires.

In their path they left behind only death and destruction. Among their victims, were the Living forests and the Capital of Seido.

As Daughters of Cetrion, it is my clan's duty to protect life and preserve the nature. Such disasters would never pass unnoticed by us.

Lady Cetrion healed the forest and put a stop to the flood that had already killed so many. In a way only her magic could!

My sisters and I helped as we could, searching for survivors, protecting and healing them.

Once they were out of harm, it was time to get them justice. Reunited with my old friends and mentor in the Umgadi, we went after the responsible for this atrocity.

Havik, the agent of chaos."

🌸 A few intro dialogues:

🔥 With Kuai:

Harumi: Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're my fiancé.

Kuai: I know you'll go harder on me because I'm your fiancé.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: I'll join you against Havik in a heartbeat.

Harumi: I appreciate it, but you already have much in your plate, Grandmaster.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: When you're around Hanzo, do you ever feel...

Harumi: Like I've met him before? All the time.

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So, about those comic books you borrowed?

Harumi, chuckling: We're married now, Sunbeam. What's yours is mine!

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So when you said "Summer camping" you actually meant training with the Umgadi?

Harumi: Uh... Surprise?

--------------------------------------

Kuai: So you and Tanya...?

Harumi: So you and Cyrax?

--------------------------------------

Kuai: You think things will ever get better with Bi-Han?

Harumi: Of course! As long as we don't give up on him!

--------------------------------------

❄️ With Bi-Han:

Bi-Han: I only wish to speak to my brothers.

Harumi: And your men lurking on my territory, are they here only to speak too?

--------------------------------------

Bi-Han: Step aside, Harumi, this is family matter.

Harumi: Have you forgotten, dear? I am family.

--------------------------------------

Harumi: Come alone to the Shirai Ryu. Let's put our differences aside.

Bi-Han: So you can stab me in the back?

--------------------------------------

Harumi: We used to be friends, Bi-Han.

Bi-Han: Regrettably, Harumi, things have changed.

--------------------------------------

Harumi: So how is Cyrax doing?

Bi-Han: Your concoctions have been quite helpful...

--------------------------------------

💨 With Tomas:

Tomas: Are you sure Hanzo is over 18?

Harumi: *Sigh* For the last time, Tom. Yes!

--------------------------------------

Tomas: Wait, you know Kuai has a crush on you?

Harumi, chuckling: Who doesn't know?

--------------------------------------

Harumi: You drank my truth serum??

Tomas: it's not my fault you stash your potions with the kitchen spices!

--------------------------------------

Harumi: The Shirai Ryu is turning out great!

Tomas: And you thought we were total lost causes!

--------------------------------------

Harumi: Where did you say you found your apprentice again?

Tomas: He fell from a tree!

--------------------------------------

Tomas: So your Umgadi friend Jade...

Harumi: Want me to introduce you to her?

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

So for now I only have these dialogues with the Sub-Zero siblings, but I'll tell you that:

If you want so see Harumi interacting with other characters, you can send me an ask with the character(s) you want and will make some intro dialogues with them! (Maximum 3 characters per ask, please)🩷

Masterpost of AU: Jewel Sonicure AU Masterpost

[ofmermaidstories]

hello ms. mermaid 🥹✨your fics are all glorious but the way my heart ached when i read your most recent work !!

the way you capture the passage of time is so glorious - how some moments can last a lifetime when years can pass by in a moment and then the heart-wrenching hurtle towards the end 😭 how are you going to break my heart TWICE in one piece of writing

GOD i'm going to need a moment to lie down and recover (thank you thank you thank you 🥹✨💕 i'm sending your beautiful brain and incredible talent flowers)

hello mei. 🥺🌸 thank-you for coming by and saying so. 🥺🥺🥺 omg i hope you don’t mind, but i saw your tags and wanted to freak out over them—and you sending this was the perfect excuse LOL (i’m so sorry—i’m not really sure on the etiquette when wanting to reply to tags 😭😭 so i jumped LOL) but like!!!!! bakugou goes through/is going through so much in canon. he keeps getting dismantled and remade over and over 😭😭 and i like to think the same as you—like that as an adult he is more secure, that he lets himself trust in himself and other people and the world around him more. 😭😭😭 so it’s interesting to wonder what’d it’d take to crack that LMAO. he achieves so much as a kid, still… saves so many different people…. probably has a pretty decent track record of it as an adult…… i feel like failing to do that One Important Thing, and with someone he’s come to care for, would be a brutal blow. 🥺 and like… what do you do after that??? i’d never love again. 💀💀💀💀 he probably throws himself into work until he almost breaks on the job and has to get hauled off the field by like Deku and Kirishima. 💀💀💀💀💀💀 they probably have to instate a 24/7 kacchan watch on him 💀💀💀💀 and then he just refuses to give into the grief and tries to grit his teeth through it (which never ever works 😩).

[anxiescape]

Since Peach Blossoms 🌸 is coming to an end within the next couple of chapters, I was wondering:

Which of these stories would you guys like to see next?

Fire Lilies:

The sequel to Peach Blossoms, but with Spicynoodles. Need I say more?

You Leave Me Paralyzed:

In the final battle against Lady Bone Demon, Macaque didn’t walk away from the fight against Possessed!Wukong unscathed.

In fact, he didn’t walk away at all.

Now paralyzed from the waist down and stuck living with the monkey that put him in this condition, Macaque has to learn how to live with his new limitations, while building new friendships and, perhaps, rebuilding old ones.

(Shadowpeach, obviously. But slow burn.)

Celestial Bodies:

“You are the most beautiful of all of Heaven’s treasures, and I am going to steal you away.”

“Well, you can certainly try~”

Begins similar to Stargaze, with Macaque being a (literal) celestial monkey that hatched from a meteorite. However, the fallen star didn’t land on Flower Fruit Mountain—it landed in the courts of the Jade Emperor’s Palace, in the Celestial Realm.

A Shadowpeach Soulmate AU, with love at first sight.

TL;DR: Sleeping Beauty but with gay monkeys and war crimes.

View the sketchdump here.

The Little Sea Monkey:

One day while out with friends (AKA Mei and Red Son), MK happens upon a strange, abandoned shrine in a forgotten part of the city. He makes a silly wish to be a monkey, just like his mentor, the Monkey King.

His wish comes true, just… with a fishy little twist.

Contains slow burn Spicynoodles, and fun, dramatic reveals. Also inspired by @alyssh-art’s beautiful drawing of Wukong and Macaque as sea monkeys, which you can view here.

It’s On The House:

The story of how Tang and Pigsy met, and the struggles they fought through to make it to where they are today.

Contains a slow-burn Freenoodles romance, with university student Tang and line cook Pigsy, not to mention a rough and tough Sandy who loves to pick and end fights. These two noodle-loving dorks fall head-over-heels for each other, but face extreme disapproval from those they consider family (solely, Tang’s homophobic, speciesist parents).

(Co-authored by the awesome @amalgamorph.)

~~~~

Aaaannnd that’s all! Let me know which of these I should start working on next, but I’m letting y’all know now that they won’t update as quickly as Peach Blossoms did because 1) I miss having free time and 2) I miss working on Stargaze.

[domain-of-revelation]

Herrscher of Origin 2.0: The Purposeless of Mei’s Growth

Spoilers for 6.3 and 6.4. Talks of Anti-Elysium Everlasting & (anti) Elymei.

Well, here we are I guess. Welcome to the culmination of the disappointment and decline of the Honkai universe’s writing and execution.

Mei’s Growth Pre-Flamechaser - Was the most “grown” and self-sustaining in terms of maturity and power (because of HoT persona and their bond). However, she put restraints on herself, thereby making her weaker as time went by. She was unable to do anything because of the shackles she tied to herself. Eventually, this led to a break in her character (Lament of the Fallen) where she in turn sacrificed herself to save the light of her life. She became the concept she hated, and she full fucking sent that shit! That’s our girl! When it became too much, she had to make that decision, and she took it by the throat and made it her personality. It was even better because it made sense for her to finally, finally let go of her own conviction because the ends justified the means to her, for Kiana.

The Flamechaser Arc - Mei: *angry about girlfriend dying to terminal radiation and her sacrificing herself* Flamechasers: Okay but have you heard about our lord and savior Elysia? Elysia (EE version): 🌸 👼🏻 ✨ 🌈 “by the way, I’m god” - Elymei. Uhhhh-

Moon Arc - Can we all just agree that this arc so far has been a complete flop (besides Seele, because I’m biased)? Seriously. Why do I need to become a PhD in astrophysics and electromagnetism to understand this chapter. Why dump exposition sentence after sentence that amounts to nothing but “I know you are but what am I?” It takes so much momentum out of this chapter that I scratch my head and think, “maybe I should just wait for all the chapter to be done”. It feels so padded out with philosophical nonsense pushed into a package already ready to burst. All we (at least here on Tumblr) wanted to see we’re our trio back together and kick Kevin’s ass. We’re simple people, I think. We don’t need our brains melted out with these lectures to enjoy a good, compelling story.

- Also, thanks for the retcon of Bronya no longer being a child soldier/assassin. No reason for that, so thanks for making the lore even more complicated for no reason.

- A shoutout to the translation team making me want to work for them instead because why do they not do quality assurance anymore.

- Open World is getting old. My phone shrieks in binary every time I have to load in to that stupid fucking god damn dog shit ass moon map. :)

Herrscher of Origin 2.0 - I said in an earlier post that this is a rare battlesuit that I highly dislike. Where do I even begin with this development for Mei? While I do love that Mei is the new HoO, as HI3 started with her, that’s really the only thing I actively enjoy with this development.

- Anything else about the battlesuit? I dislike. The “heavenly” theme of her suit, the lighter colors, the emphasis on Elysia, I actually hate it.

- And I hate to say I hate it, but I do. Elysia is supposed to be ka-put, gone, her and her comrades stories are O V E R. Let them rest for once.

- It feels like they’re trying to override Mei with Elysia, and it just doesn’t work. This entire shift in her personality, especially with the leaks of Mei saying she basically does not care if Kiana sacrifices herself, goes against the entire reason for her growth in the first fucking place!

- Why does Mei now have flower themes when it was never entirely relevant to her character? Bronya has technology and “coldness”, with a focus on blues, whites, and grays. This continues in her HoTr battlesuit. Kiana has her outgoing, tempered liveliness and hope, symbolized by whites, oranges, and blacks. Her symbol being the stars and fire actively fits her suits in at least some capacity through all of them. This has been her theme up to Flamescion. Now why I’m sitting here wondering why the hell Mei got this “heavenly angel” looking schtick that makes no sense. Her themes were red, black, purple, and white. And of course, lightning. This about-face turn around of punting these themes into the stratosphere isn’t growth, it’s a complete erasure of her journey and efforts to become stronger. What’s with the light blues and golds? The pinks of her eyes? Why flowers. Again? Also, the parallel between HoO Mei and Raiden Ei… how similar their battlesuits are. 🫠 end me. Mihoyo stop introducing Genshin to Honkai pleASE.

- Mei isn’t Elysia and she never will be. I need everyone to read this again. And another time. Mei might be the inheritor of the title, but Mei will not and can never be Elysia. To make Mei seem closer to Elysia is to erase everything Mei is and has done. Removing Mei’s autonomy in exchange for an Elysia cameo is downright ridiculous. Why can’t her bond with Kiana and Bronya be the trigger? Why does it have to lie in people long gone? Why can’t it be love? Love for humanity was the inspiration for Elysia, so why can’t it be love for her friends (and girlfriend)? Why, why, why does it have to always be Elysia?

- Mei’s growth has and will always be focused around learning from others. From Kiana saving her life at the very beginning of HI3, to learning the beauty and importance of life and sacrificing it with the FCs, Mei is always the mirror of another’s actions. To make Mei this… almost lassiez-faire to Kiana sacrificing herself is actually infuriating. They just got back together after half a year apart, where their parting almost meant killing each other, to now Kiana waving sacrificial-offering flags like a Naval officer, and Mei suddenly not caring anymore?! Just because you grow doesn’t mean you suddenly don’t care about things anymore! The beauty and anguish from Lament of the Fallen is due to the circumstance that Mei had no other choice but to leave to find a way to help Kiana. If she had to be the bad guy, she would be. So where the fuck does this “yeah I might’ve just reunited with my girlfriend after she tried to shoulder everything by herself, but now I couldn’t care less what she does” attitude come from.

A Little Ending Blurb I’m just, I’m so tired. After the Everlasting Flames Arc, I feel that the writing team is just blasting us to the end of this saga and not caring unless it’s a cool animation or battle scene. As someone who has been playing since global launch in 2018, it is more than just disappointing to see the quality nosedive to the level it’s at now. It’s, in my opinion, heartbreaking (as cringey/cheesy as it might sound). I’ve loved this game with so much passion and intrigue, it’s become a large point in my life. “Protect all that is beautiful in this world.” It’s served as a way to reflect on myself and my growth, especially compared to the girls who all have their threads of relatability and genuineness. I cherish these characters. I’ve laughed and I’ve most certainly cried at the art Mihoyo has created in the past that ripped out my heartstrings and played them like a harp. Honkai has really, truly touched my heart. It’s not something that a lot of media is able to do, but this one has, and it’s magical. It’s beautiful in its anguish and its sacrifices. It’s maddening in the way that it crawls underneath your skin with how human these characters are. But I hate how much it seems like this past year, that feeling has been pushed behind a curtain. Nothing seems earned or deserved or meaningful. Characters just do because they do, particularly in Mei’s case. She’s constantly ham-fisting her recollections of the Flamechasers, telling her memories to characters who’ve never heard, let alone cared, of simulations of a bygone era. Everyone’s just like, “Oh? Yeah? Mhm, sure.” And move about their next dialogue. There’s no real significance to her exposition, there’s no drive to explain what’s been happening on her end. And it sucks to see.

Sorry I’m ending it like this, but I’m frustrated. I’ll try and make another addition to this in a more eloquent way, but I just needed to get these thoughts out there.

Bxnny! I had a huge brainrot and just made a small drabble that i really want to show you! Do you remember our talk about Kiana and Mei finding each other in every universe thing? Well it got me thinking to an.. angsty scenario about that idea. I wont say it outright but im sure you’ll get it once you read the drabble i made. Just know that i will send a request about this idea once your request box is open

It has been centuries since you died. He could still remember your last moments like it was yesterday. He remembers how cold you were as you passed away in his arms. He remembers the many emotions that came after your death. The anger for not being enough to save you, the sadness of losing you to the dark mistress of death, the pain and grief that overwhelmed him. And despite having seemingly moved on from it, he still misses you greatly.

He deeply yearns to see you again. To have you in his arms. To be with you. He wishes you could be here with him again and that wish did come true, but not in the way he wanted. He did meet his lover again, yet something felt wrong. It’s you, but you’re not really his lover, aren’t you? You have the same hair, the same eyes, the same voice, the same smile, and yet you don't have the same name, the same quirks, the same temper, the same appearance, because you’re not his lover.

You’re someone else. A stranger who is you but also not really you. A stranger who lived a different life than the one he remembers. A stranger who is from another universe that’s much more different than his own. Nevertheless, his heart still longs for you because it’s you. Despite everything, it’s still you.

So what do you think of it?

I absolutely love your writing, Flower Anon, and I'd absolutely love to write a fanfic like this one. It's beautifully tragic!!

I've always felt like reincarnation was one of the most painful tropes, especially when it's this depressing, so I'll definitely look forward to it hehe<33

AAAAHHHH THIS. I was spoiled about the big stuff (🌸🌼🌷🌹🌻) before reading the novel but even without that, it's so obvious to see how much Mo Ran loves Chu Wanning and go ???? at 0.5. Like, here and the morning after Mo Ran is half sleep and thinks he's back with Chu Fei and he treats him with so much tenderness???? He holds him and strokes his hair and tries to make his pain go away and tears up at the thought of waking up back in 0.5 without Chu Wanning, asks him to make breakfast (even tho Chu Wanning's cooking is horrible and Taxian-jun is the fucking emperor and could eat the best of the best but noooo, gotta eat baobei's food) and when Chu Wanning doesn't move he doesn't get angry! He just gives him a chaste kiss and says let me hold you a little longer and this still drives me insane whenever i re-read because sir that is not how someone treats their hated consort whom they don't give a fuck about!!! And then he just pretends he did none of this and goes back to chasing Shi Mei. That flower was sure something lmao *strangles Shi Mei*

Sometimes I wonder how the writer knew to cater so precisely to my preferences.

[noroi1000]

Hello! I hope you are well. I need to say I really love and enjoy your work, specially yours yandere's ! 🖤 I want to take the opportunity to see the open request uwu ..I was thinking maybe a hanahaki Disease with Suguru...but with a happy ending because I'm tired of crying with pure angst XD my baby deserves love and a happy ending, I need more fluff things with my Susu 😭 can or not be NSFW... I hope you like the idea, if not it's ok, thanks for reading. Have a nice week! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💐

I can't stop loving you.

"Even if it makes me die. "

paring: High School AU | Geto x reader

tw: heavy angst with happy ending, Hanahaki disease

Cw: 6,7k

a/n: This is the first time I am writing anything about Hanahaki disease. I hope it will be good. Please write to me if I wrote about it correctly 😄 The photo is edited by me. Sorry for the mistakes.

Even if you die because of flowers, you will still love him. You just want Suguru to be with you. Even if he doesn't love you. You still want it. Hanahaki at one moment showed you that you can die for love. But you still want to love him. You can't stop loving him.

Why even unrequited love that hurts so much can turn out to be something beautiful? Not as beautiful as the roses you often see in your garden. Or maybe more than all those flowers...  Suguru is your friend. You know each other from school. But you don't really think he's just a friend. You love him sincerely. But you are not afraid of any reciprocity. And maybe it really is. It is all the fault of the pain. That's why you are suffering. That's why you need to know flowers. But you love flowers. You like flowers especially that remind you of his. You love him and you will never stop loving him. Even if this suffering never finds an end.  But you don't know he loves you too. He never told you. And he still won't tell you. He does not know. He doesn't know if his feelings are sincere. That's why he doesn't say anything, if it wasn't a real feeling, he would have hurt you. 

He doesn't know you love him, you don't know he loves you.

Now you are wandering in feelings together. In love. 

It doesn't matter that these feelings can kill you very quickly.

You will continue to love him. 

Because you can't stop loving him.

If you die because of it, you won't blame him. 

These beautiful flowers only remind you that you love him. And how you keep loving him. 

Even if they come out of your throat. Sometimes even covered with blood.

It's still a sign that you haven't stopped loving him.

And for the rest of your life you will not stop.

It doesn't matter that your life may not be long. 

It is only important that you love it. And maybe if you did something else, he might love you too. 

Your friend. The person you really love.

Geto Suguru.

The moment you look at him, you really think he is a nice and good-looking boy. 

The third year of high school might be a nightmare for some, but it's a very cool situation for you. You're already an adult. You even have your own apartment. You can finish school earlier than in second-year. You are still glad that you are in the same group of friends all the time. Still you, Suguru, Satoru and Shoko. And also Utahime and Mei in a different class. You A and they B. Same with Nanami and Haibara. You were so divided because of the list and the large number of people. It's been the same from the first year. And if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have met Suguru.  And if Shoko didn't want you in class with her, you'd be in 3B now. They swapped your place with Haibara. Besides, he's so kind he agreed.

You have been loving Suguru for a year. For everything he has done for you. You love him for his character. It's just perfect. And for some time you've only been thinking that he is your soul mate. Shoko and Utahime tell you you guys are a good match. That's why you feel like this more and more. You just want it to always be that way. They are your friends. You trust them. You treat them like family. And if they tell you that the dark haired one is your soul mate, and you feel it yourself, you just listen to them. That's why you really think it is. You have similar interests. Everything seems to connect. Everything in you. Additionally, you and he are friends.

But you are afraid to tell him about your feelings. That's why you decided that you would tell him when he too would be even closer to you. If he does something that might mean he's interested in you, you too will come even closer to him. 

Waiting was not difficult.

However, something you never expected happened. 

It's as if instead of getting closer to each other, you started to move away. And you had no influence on it. You could only feel the pain of your heart when he spent less time with you. 

You know it's important to him. However, he continued to do everything with Satoru. You know they are best friends. And they are inseparable. But it made you feel rejected. You've had so many times. But knowing that the person you love is doing this to you is even more painful than it would be if someone you know did. You know he has important things on his mind. Satoru told you this is something family and Suguru takes time. Everything should be fine in a while.

However, there are also reasons why you felt like you were sick. He ignored you. He wasn't paying attention to you and Shoko. He only spent time with Satoru. And you understand him. Sometimes you need to rest too. 

But that was what was painful. 

"Satoru, do you think Suguru will want to go for a coffee tomorrow?" you asked sitting down next to your white-haired friend. 

"I'm not sure. But I think he'll want to go out with you somewhere. But I really can't tell you. Today or tomorrow I am going to see him to cheer him up a little." he answered you, setting the juice in the carton on the table. 

"I see... But I'll try though." 

"Just don't insist so much. You know very well he's in a bad situation. His parents had an accident and he blames himself for it... It'll be fine with them, but he's still like that..." he muttered poking his drink. "He'll be at school tomorrow so you can ask him."

"Um... I will text him or give him a call. Maybe I can make an appointment with him for a day." you told him with a smile. 

"I believe in you. We have to somehow get him back to normal. In the end, it was okay to get depressed for any reason."

"I want him to be like before. Still happy..." You said sadly.

He looked at you seriously as he leaned forward a little. He was hunched over now as he grabbed your drink again. But before he took the straw in his mouth, he started talking to you.

"Look, I know you like him... And he also starts talking more about you and not someone else. I have the impression that there may be more to you. And maybe you would cheer him up if you told him about your feelings. I think you understand..."

"Satoru, I'm not sure about his feelings, and I don't want to make myself stupid. We are friends with Suguru and it is possible that he thinks of me as a friend. And it's a very low probability that he thinks I'm someone else. But thank you for saying so." You said to him with a smile and a blush on your cheeks.

You want Geto to give you a sign that you can be more than just friends. And you don't want to try until you know if he feels anything. Because if you made such a bold move and it turns out that he doesn't feel anything for you, you would destroy your friendship. 

You don't want to do this. Even if you love him. Besides, you don't want to stop loving him.

You: Hi, Suguru. Would you like to go out for a coffee today or tomorrow?

You: If you have time and feel like it, of course.

You waited ten minutes for him to text you back. Besides, you weren't happy with his answer.

Suguru: Hi. Sorry but I can't. I have something else to do today, and I'm leaving Satoru tomorrow. Sorry.

You're a little disappointed looking at this. But you understand him.

You: It's okay. See you later 🙂.

You felt bad when you put the phone on the bed. Just to sit in silence, wondering how you can comfort him otherwise. 

Until you got another message.

You checked it right away.

Suguru: We can go out for coffee in two days. If you want.

You didn't hesitate to answer.

You: Yeah.

Waiting for him in the cafe. You played games on your phone in your favorite coffee shop. He was late. Already by half an hour. However, you are not angry with him. It's a little further from his house than you are. You live closer. So maybe he missed the train or there are traffic jams. It's the norm in Japan. Therefore, everything is fine.

But it didn't feel good anymore when you looked at the messages he was sending you before. It was over an hour ago. You were focused on games. You've already had your coffee and the cookie you ordered.

An hour ago:

Suguru: Let's meet in twenty minutes there. If you will be faster, order our favorites 😋

And so you did.

You were there before him.

That's why you ordered two coffees and cookies. 

After you've waited an hour for heaven, you drank your coffee and ate your cake. And then you reached for it for him anyway.

He's not coming, is he?

After two hours of waiting, you had hope. And you were also worried because something might have happened to him. You had two coffees and two cakes. He will definitely not come anymore... 

But you still want to wait or maybe he'll let you know. Or maybe it will appear right at the door of the cafe.

But nothing.

That's why even the waiter started looking at you strangely. After all, you've been sitting in this one place for two hours, and you're constantly staring at the door. 

You kept hoping until you found him calling you. 

"(y/n), I'm very sorry. I remembered. I was already leaving the house. But suddenly my parents called me and I had to go to them. I just got home. Sorry."

"Suguru, it's okay." you said trying to sound cheerful. "I'm not angry. I'll just come home. You don't have to apologize. I just wanted to spend some time with you. It's after all than important. I'm glad your parents are fine." 

You tried to hide the breaking voice. But you don't know if you made it.

"Wait... You're still in the cafe?" He asked. You realized from his voice that he was surprised.

"Yes. I have been waiting for you with the hope that you will come."

"Uh... I'm really sorry. Wait for a while. I'll be right there and at least escort you home. I don't want anything to happen to you. It's getting late." 

Your heart skipped a beat as you heard his concern.

But you had to refuse. He also needs rest. Therefore, you will not force him to anything. If he is at home now, let him rest.

"No. You don't have to. I'll go home alone. Thank you for your suggestion."

"Are you sure? I really don't want anything to happen to you–."

"It's really okay. Take a break. You must have had a hard day. Do not worry about me. I'll just come home." you said cutting him off. He didn't finish the word to the end and you already answered him.

You heard him sigh...

"I'm really sorry. Tell me if I can make it up to you somehow. I know I acted like an asshole. I'm really sorry."

"Bye, Suguru."

When you hung up, you put your hand on your forehead.

Why did you wait so long for him, and he didn't come, hurt you so much? 

Because you love him.

And you can't stop loving him.

He really didn't want to set you up. You invited him for coffee. And he really wanted to go. But he couldn't.

He wanted forgiveness.

Because he really wanted to meet you. There is nothing else he wanted more.

Because he wanted you to be more than just a friend.

But he didn't dare to tell you about it. And he also wanted to know exactly that he really loves you.

Because he wanted you closer to him.

He didn't know you were suffering because of him.

"Suguru, I'm glad your parents are healthy!" You said cheerfully to him as you hugged him. 

He put his arms around you and let you hold on. He also hugged you. It was a great feeling.

You might think you were a couple. That you both love each other. Now. 

As he hugged you, you felt your love for him grow. It just felt so good.

But suddenly he pulled you away from his chest.

You widened your eyes by the sudden loss of his warmth.

"(y/n), thank you very much. Maybe we'll go outside? I've already seen Satoru go to the vending machines.." He gave you a sweet smile.

You agreed with a smile.

And the smile hid your breaking heart. The third time you felt really bad because of him. 

But you still love him.

He did it because he felt embarrassed. He wanted to keep hugging you. And even do more.

But he was afraid of how you might react when he held you too long or too hard.

But you didn't know that.

Just like he didn't know you wanted to hold him tighter too.

"Suguru, I bought you something! "You said cheerfully as you handed him a box with a bow.

He grabbed the box gently with a smile.

But then he stopped and the smile faded from his face.

He didn't want to use you. He believed that you are giving him a lot anyway. That's why he didn't want you to spend money on him.

That's why he grabbed your hands and, with a small smile, pulled the gift to your chest. 

"Thank you very much. It sure is beautiful. But I cannot accept it. It's too much."

He didn't know the words brought tears from your eyes. Especially when you were home alone.

You forgave him for that. He was finally smiling.

And you still don't know his feelings.

You can't say it didn't hurt you.

But you still love him and won't stop. Even until death.

"Suguru, I'll help you. You can do something else. I will do it for you. If that's important to you." You gave him a smile. You felt worse than ever. But you wanted to help him. After all, doing something more in a project is not difficult. You just have to put together what he did. 

You keep smiling at him. Just like he smiles at you. You love his smile. So sweet and kind. Additionally, he smiles at you very often. It also makes you show him a smile. 

You wanted to spend time outdoors with them. Just like you did. But now you've become more of a householder. You preferred to spend your time more often at home. You went out with all of them. You didn't say no to them. However, you did have a cold. Your lungs hurt a bit. However, everything is bearable. You complain of nothing more than a little pain. Besides, they know it. Therefore, they do not force you to do anything. They also try to help you get better faster.

But you are not sure if it does not get worse over time.

But everything is fine. 

That's why you offer him help. You are in hand in the project with Suguru. You cooperate. He came to your home to finish this. You don't have much left. Just a little, actually. 

Suddenly he had to go home. 

You know he has a lot on his mind. That's why you offered him such help. You can finish these details. After all, what is not done for friends...

He didn't want to overload you. overload He knew about your deteriorating health and wanted you to rest. Get enough sleep, eat well, drink something warm. Do whatever you want to keep it from getting worse. 

He didn't want you to be seriously ill. After all, he didn't want to lose you.

That's why he said something that was supposed to comfort you, but made the pain in your heart worse.

"(y/n), take a rest. Don't do anything for me. I'll finish it myself. Take care of yourself first. " 

He smiled at you and gave you a little hug goodbye.

And it was all enough for tears to fall out of your eyes after it came out.

He is cute. He worries about you. He wanted you to take care of your health. It was really nice and sweet. That's why you can't help but love him.

But the mere thought that it was a rejection of your offer hurts. As if he is hammering another dagger through your heart.

But you still love him. 

Still unsure of his feelings. Friend or someone else?

After he left, you went to the park near your apartment anyway. 

It was quiet and nice there. Especially because there are flowers there.

And hurting yourself by one of the little bushes, you looked at the purple flowers. All the colors were there. However, you liked a few. Purple, blue and white. 

Not only were they pretty. But you also loved those colors a lot. They showed it so much between you and Suguru.

Purple flowers: Love at first sight as well as enchantment.

You are charmed by Suguru. And you also love him almost from the very first meeting. 

Blue flowers: Faithfulness.

You don't love anyone else. Only him.

And then white flowers: perfect affection, humility and innocence. 

You were looking at the colorful flower petals. All the colors were beautiful. But these were the prettiest.  The delicate plants, or rather the sight of them, soothed your pain a little.

Because you have one dream. 

"I would like to get such flowers someday. From Suguru..."

*Cough*

Something has been scratching in your throat since this morning.

*Cough*

Like there's something stuck in your lungs.

*Cough*

You really don't like being sick. 

You started coughing to get rid of the terrible feeling. And when you put your hand to your mouth and the other to your chest, you felt a sudden sense of relief. But your lungs hurt anyway. 

However, you felt something strange on your hand. Did you spit yourself?

You took your hand away from your face, only to see the purple flower petal. 

From where?

It fell off your clothes or hair? 

But...

Why was he slightly soiled in saliva? 

Suddenly you felt that unpleasant sensation in your throat again. You started coughing again. Just to see a blue petal fall out of your mouth straight into your hand. 

You widened your eyes and ran to the bathroom, peering down your throat. There was nothing there.

You thought you might have a fever.

You immediately thought about calling Suguru. Perhaps he could bring you some medicine. After all, it is not possible for palettes of flowers to fall out of your throat. It's ridiculous. There is no way that this is possible for you. 

As you thought that Suguru could take care of you, you started coughing and felt irritation in your lungs. As if something is tickling you painfully inside. 

You spit flower petals into the sink. More. Purple, blue and white. The colors you wanted in your bouquet. You looked in the mirror again. Again with wide frightened eyes you stared at your mouth. You opened it. And then you saw one dark lobe lying on the back of your mouth. Almost to the throat. 

You panicked in horror. You put your fingers in your mouth and pulled out a fresh flower petal. 

You started to cry. You kept looking inside your mouth. You were still trying to force a cough. To see if you can get rid of it.

However, the longer you did this, the more it seemed to you that there was no less flakes. 

You gave up calling anyone. They'd think you were crazy. Nobody can cough and spit flower petals. It can't be falling out of anyone's throat. People might not believe you, but you believe what you read on the internet.

That's all the tips you've read. 

„Why do my lungs hurt, I often cough and when I do this, flower petals fly out of my mouth?”

Most of the answers were the same. 

„This is hanahaki disease.”

Additionally, the longer you read specialized websites about it, the more you believe it. 

You really got sick of it... 

All reasons are right. Everything you've ever experienced is correct. Is it the fault of unrequited love?

So Suguru doesn't love you?

But Satoru was saying something about his feelings... 

Besides, Suguru has always been so loved to you. Or maybe your heart doesn't know what it is like? 

Perhaps it is also because you do not know his true feelings... And I guess it really is.

Everything that can make you sick is in line with what you've experienced. 

Something happened that was the first cause of your sudden illness. You waited a long time for him and he didn't come anyway. And he also refused your invitation earlier. This was the second reason.

Something else later. Third reason. When you hugged him, he reciprocated you. But later he also pushed you away with a smile. You didn't know his feelings.

Then he refused to accept your gift from you.

Until at the very end he refused you when you wanted to help him.

These were all the reasons why flower petals fell out of your mouth.

Now you finally get it. You got it all. Hanahaki disease has touched you because you love Suguru who is your soul mate. However, he doesn't love you like you love him. You never knew his feelings.

And besides...

This disease will kill you anyway...

You'll never know his feelings...

And you'll never see him again.

But you can't stop loving him anyway.

You have had enough of this. Your lungs still hurt. You keep coughing. But no one knows that petals of flowers are coming out of your throat. And you don't want anyone to know about it.

You haven't been to the doctor. Neither does anyone know what's happening to you. When anyone asks if you are sick, you say you have a cold and have lung problems. Because it's true. You have a painful lung problem. But no one knows why. 

Your lung problem is the flowers in them. And for a week you've already realized that everything is getting worse. It will not get better, but it will only get worse. The plants were filling your lungs unbearably more and more.  You could breathe normally. But you still wanted to cough because the plants irritated your lungs. Besides, it hurt a lot when the stalks bit lightly into the delicate walls of the lungs. 

You don't know how much time you have left, but you intend to live the way you want for at least a few more days. 

Besides, your disease developed very quickly.

However, the speed of development depends only on how much you love someone. And you love Suguru very much. That's why the flowers in your lungs grow fast. 

And it's really just a matter of time until you just choke. Or maybe the plants will pierce your heart faster and you will die... You don't even know if it's even possible, but a more convenient death for you would be instant death because your heart will no longer beat, than death by suffocation. You will try to draw air, your body will fight for it, but you will not be able to. So it's only a matter of time until the flowers block your entire trachea.

For now, all you can do is spit out the flower petals. Along with saliva and even a little blood. 

You don't know if it's time to quit school. You can say you have lung problems. After all, it's a disease. Probably everyone will understand this. You're an adult. You can justify yourself. 

Because you wish you had some peace. Maybe you will die at least at home. Lying in bed. And not in the school corridor. As you go now. 

You no longer have the strength to go to classes every day and then return home. You don't feel like spending time outside your home. You just feel you don't want it anymore. Not like a week ago. 

You've had it for two weeks. And during that one week, the pain is worse. As well as your heart and chest each time you inhale air. Besides, there is not enough room in your lungs for you to draw in a lot of air. Most of them are occupied by plants. Therefore, you can no longer exercise. 

Maybe it's time to give my life to a disease? What is going to happen will happen. You really don't care.

You always wanted only Suguru to love you as much as you love him. And now that you know that you are sick because of unrequited love... Does it even make sense?

You don't want to use ways to get rid of it and live. You are to forget about him in return for your life? You don't want this. You would have to change your school and city. Because wherever Shoko or Satoru is, Suguru will also be there. That's why you just don't want it. 

You are not doing any of the ways to get rid of it. You're not gonna do that. Even though one way is surgery, the other way is to get mutual feelings.

But it can't work. Because you can't make Suguru love you in a few days. Especially now that you really want to quit school.

It all just means death.

Walking calmly down the corridor, you made your way to the headmaster's office. You will say anything. And they will understand. 

You paused for a moment, and quickly taking out a handkerchief, put it to your mouth and began to cough. 

When it was over, you glanced briefly at the large number of colorful flower petals lying on the handkerchief. You carefully wrapped the handkerchief and threw it in the trash. 

You walked on, pressing against your chest where you felt an unpleasant sensation. 

"I have bad news for you." Yaga said to the whole class. He was your tutor at this school and teacher. So he could have said something in his lesson. "We will not see (y/n) for a long time at school. I am asking you not to bother her with questions about where she is or what happened." 

Satoru raised his hand and began to speak.

"Something happened to her?" 

"Well... She told me that if anyone asks, I can explain to you." He started. "She fell ill. For some time she had had lung problems that were getting worse. Therefore, she dropped out of school for a while to recover."

Hearing that, Geto widened his eyes. Basically the same as everyone. He, Gojo and Ieiri. 

They all thought the same thing: „Why didn't she tell me?”

Like the teacher told them, they didn't want to disturb you.

That's why they didn't. Even though each of them was worried about you. 

They asked for a visit. They wanted to visit you and keep you company a little.

You refused them saying everything was fine.

This is how you experienced the next week. With sadness you can't see your friends. Because you don't want them to see your condition. 

And you don't even think it makes sense anymore. Even helping you or even trying to help makes no sense. 

There are more and more petals. And you don't even want to keep cleaning it up anymore. If the petals aren't stained with saliva or blood, you leave it at that. Besides, the flower petals look nice. But it still makes you suffer. 

The bouquet you always wanted as a gift is now growing in your lungs, slowly closing your life. You also feel pain even in your throat and arms. Plants grow and spread. 

This is how nature works. Even if nature is very brutal.

You sat on the couch in the apartment. And you also put your head on the backrest. You can not sleep. You're still anxious. 

Or maybe it will be better when you meet a friend? 

Next time someone sends you a message, you'll agree. Only friends write to you, so you can write back even to just anyone. It will be a surprise for you, at least. Maybe your life will be a little different... 

At least for the days you have left...

      Suguru: I know you want to rest, and that's why I'm sorry to bother you now, but I'd like to ask you if I could visit you? It's really been a long time.

It's been over two weeks now... He didn't know that much. He was really worried. He didn't see you, you gave no sign of life. And he really does worry about you. 

He was bursting with longing for you. And he just wanted to meet you. Tell you you have backup. Show it to you. That he is with you and you are not alone. And that it will help you get better.

He waited impatiently for a reply from you.

Until he finally lived to see it. 

You: You can.

And that's it. You just wrote it.

But he felt very happy.

As soon as he saw your message, he began to prepare. He tied his hair, put on better clothes, and took the flowers he was going to give you. 

A bouquet of white roses with the tips of the petals pink in color. He knew you'd like it.

He ran to the nearest metro station to catch the earliest train. 

Later he ran to your house. Up the stairs. Until it came to your apartment.

He knocked on the door. He rang the bell. 

But you didn't open it.

However, the door was open. 

So he went in and called your name.

You had to be home. Everything was on. TV and lights. There was steaming tea on the table. 

He looked into the living room to see that you are curled up on the couch asleep.

He smiled slightly at the sight of your face. And then he looked at flower petals randomly scattered on the floor.

He blushed slightly as he thought you wanted to create a romantic atmosphere. But if you wanted to do that, you probably wouldn't fall asleep on the couch and there wouldn't be tea on the table. That's why his blush was gone, but not his smile.

He took off his shoes and the light jacket he had.

He put a bouquet of flowers on the table and started to come to you. 

There were more flower petals. Maybe you had flowers at home that were starting to wilt and lost their petals when you threw them away. After all, you always had plants in your house. Especially flowers. You like it. 

He came over to you.

His smile faded from his face as he saw the paler skin on your face and the dark circles under your eyes. Maybe you couldn't sleep and now you finally fell asleep?

After all, he knows well that sometimes the disease keeps you awake.

But he still hoped it wasn't serious.

But he wanted to take the opportunity to be closer when you don't know it. He sat down next to you and gently pulled you onto his lap. 

He put his head on yours as he wrapped his arms around you. You were so warm. He needed it so much. He loves you. But you don't know if you love him. He was just waiting for a signal from you. 

Basically the same as you.

Suddenly he felt your body move.

He thought: "If she wakes up now, maybe beyond my feelings..."

But instead of waking up, you started coughing in your sleep. 

He grabbed a handkerchief from the wrapper lying next to it on the small table and held it to your mouth. 

As your body trembled and you rested your head even more on his chest, he looked down at the handkerchief. 

His eyes widened and his breathing stopped.

Flower petals and tiny drops of blood...

He brought your body closer to his.

He thought in Fear, "Hanahaki ?! But how...?"

His jaw twitched. He wanted to wake you up. But if you are just asleep now, because flowers are suffocating you at night, he would not refuse you rest.

But suddenly you started coughing again.

This time he grabbed the petals with his hand. The same colors as in your home.

So it's all because of this disease?

Is that why you don't go to school?

But why didn't you tell him? 

What's worse... Who are you in love with that someone doesn't love you?

After it stopped, he dumped parts of the plants to the floor and saw a few still in your mouth.

He gently lifted your face and opened your mouth wider. He pulled out purple petals with his fingers. Or rather, it was a whole little flower. He tossed it on the floor and put his hand on your cheek.

Tears stung his eyes. 

"Why?"

He leaned down and kissed your forehead.

Then you opened your eyes looking at his neck. Later on the ears and hair.

Earrings and black long hair in a bun.

You felt his arms on you.

"S-Suguru?!" 

You pushed his face lightly.

He looked at you sadly.

"W-What are you doing here?! Cough..." 

"You let me come. But you... Why didn't you tell me? "

You turned your face away from him. 

When you suddenly felt that you were about to cough, you pushed away from him, landing on the floor. 

Leaning on your hands and knees, you began to push the flower petals out of your lungs. 

"Thank you for coming, but you can go now..." You muttered.

"I came here because I wanted to. Really."

"You can go now. Satoru might want to go somewhere. Leave me here. And please don't tell anyone you've seen it..."

"Why didn't you tell me...? Why Hanahaki?"

"You know about it... That's why I don't have to explain to you..."

"But who–"

You cut him off.

"Someone who doesn't love me. So please go ahead. I want to rest... I'm really tired..."

You wiped your saliva off the floor as you got up.

He left... He really left right now... 

"You could help me while I still had time... When it wasn't with me yet... And now... And now it's over..."

Two days he waited for your emotions to cool down a bit.

He showed up at your house this evening.

Back when you were sitting on the edge of the bed in your pajamas. Ready to go to sleep.

"What are you doing here?" you asked looking at the floor after looking at him.

"(y/n), i want to be here. How can I help you?" he said as he entered your room.

"You can't help me anymore. Nobody can... I really want to talk to you. Spend some time as before. But I already took my sleep pills." 

"What happened? Who do you Love? How can I help you?!"

You coughed a little in pain.

"You can't help me, Suguru. What happened... You won't take it back anymore."

"But you can–"

"I don't want to lose what I remember. I'd rather die than stop loving you. I just can't stop loving you." 

You smiled at him and turned to face him. He saw your arms and your whole face. 

A thin line of blood at the corner of your mouth. And also a tricolor rose sticking out above your collarbone. 

He widened his eyes as well, thinking about what you told him. 

Do you love him

Is it because of him now...

You thought he didn't love you, that's why you got sick. 

But he loves you.

But you... 

He looked at the rose on your skin. 

"I know what it looks like... It's beautiful, but it hurts a lot..."

"(y/n), I–"

"You could bring me a glass of water?"

With a sigh, he walked into the kitchen.

You were already sitting under the covers. With a sad smile.

There was no blood on your face anymore.

Approaching you, he sat down on the bed and handed you a glass.

After you took a few small sips, you coughed.

He pushed the glass away from your lips as he watched the petals float in the water. 

He wiped the water off your chin and told you to lie down.

You took sleeping pills. You must be sleepy. I leaned my back against the pillows.

You have a hard time breathing. It's even very hard. Your breaths don't fill your lungs.

Will your last night be like this? That's why you told him about your feelings.

You reached out to his with a smile and also with tears running down your cheeks.

"Could you stay? I want to know for the last time that someone is there for me. Please. One last time. And never again. Can I hug you? One and last time... I just want to know that the person I love is with me in my last moments..."

He looked at you sadly.

It's like if he refuses you.

You know this will be your last night. This is the last time you go to bed. 

"So what if he doesn't love me... I love him. And even if he is just my friend, maybe he will fulfill my last request..." you thought, still holding your hands up. 

You saw the tears starting to run down his face. 

"It can't be..."

Hearing these words, your smile faded a little, and you also lowered your hands a little.

Does he not want to? 

Your shallow breathing was not audible as he quickly approached you.

He lay down in bed next to you and pressed you to his chest.

"It can't be! It can't end like this!" He screamed. 

"... I'm sorry..." You grunted as you wrapped your arms around him. You want to go to sleep. 

"(y/n), no. Don't sleep yet. Please don't fall asleep... Not now..."

"Sorry..." you nestled closer to him, resting your head against his chest

Suddenly he pushed you away.

You looked at him surprised but also sad.

"I love you... That's why you can't..." 

He kissed your lips but there was no return.

Crying, he pulled away and suddenly hugged you tightly. Just like you wanted...

All the flowers will not fade away.

But the ones in your body will disappear.

"(y/n), I love you..."

"..."

"I know you can hear me. Look at me. Let me see your eyes."

"..."

eyes You want to continue to sleep.

It's Suguru, isn't it?

You want to keep sleeping. Do not open your eyes.

You don't feel the pain anymore.

You only feel warm.

"(y/n)~."

Suddenly you felt something wet on your lips.

If you're dead, why do you feel it?

You opened your eyes.

You didn't see the light.

You saw purple eyes. 

"Good morning..." he muttered with a smile.

You widened your eyes looking at him.

He was in your bed. Loose hair, loose clothes.

You can't be dead. After all, Suguru didn't die.

"Did you sleep well?" 

"...huh...?"

"Are you surprised that I'm talking to you now? You were asleep. And the flowers are gone."

You pulled air into your lungs. So normal. Not like before.

"The only flowers in the house are the ones I brought."

"Suguru?" 

"Yeah?"

"It's you, isn't it...?" you muttered lying on his hands.

He laughed softly.

"No one else."

"That is..." 

"I love you. Always been like that. But I didn't know if I could tell you this." 

"But–"

"Do not say anything. We're here together. Nothing's going to happen to you. Nothing will happen to you."

"I love you..."

"I love you too, (y/n)."

Even if you could die then. You didn't die.

You are together. You love each other. 

Neither of you dared.

And now...

You managed to connect at the last minute.

You love him and he loves you.

The hanahaki have brought you together.

And nothing will separate you anymore.

That's why you couldn't stop loving him.

Even if it made you die, you still couldn't stop loving him.

Your Suguru...

“I didn’t think you’d come.”

The deep baritone voice behind her had washed over her. She smiled to herself as she turned around to see him standing there. A smile had spread across her face as he stepped forward wrapping his arms around her. His lips pressed against hers in a breathtaking kiss. It would’ve knocked her off her feet if he hadn’t been holding onto her. She left out a soft purr as his lips ghosted her neck. Her fingers gripped the leather jacket he wore.

It seemed like her brain short circuited when it came to him.

“I-"

He pulled away with a smirk as his dark eyes drank in her form. “Yes, Kitten?”

Her cheeks glowed under his gaze as the flowers adorning her hair began to bloom rapidly. A trait he always loved about her.

“I tried to leave early but you know how she is,” she explained.

He nodded in understanding as his fingers massaged her side with care. “I do. You didn’t have any trouble getting down here did you?”

She shook her head, making her curls bounce. “The forest nymphs are covering for me.”

He frowned slightly at the news. “I don’t want you to get in trouble Persephone-"

She placed her hand on his cheek with an endearing smile. “Yoongi, I love you. I’d find a way back to you.”

His heart swelled at her words. As God of the Underworld, there shouldn’t have been any emotions, but when it came to her, his Goddess of Spring, he’d lay down his life for her. She was the best thing that ever happened to him, and that was saying a lot. After eons of loneliness she practically fell into his lap-literally.

Since that moment, she haunted his thoughts. Much to his surprise, the feeling was mutual. It took some planning, but these secret rendezvous became more frequent. Even though the consequences would be dire if they were ever found out, they decided it was worth it.

“Do you have any idea how much I want you? I was ready to send Apollo to Tartarus for looking in your direction,” he muttered before nipping her earlobe.

“I don’t pay him any attention,” she whispered.

“If he would have touched you, I would have killed him,” he growled.

Persephone looked up at him in amusement. “That jealousy is your Acheille’s heel.”

Yoongi sighed as he nuzzled against her. “You know how he is, but I’ll try to not be jealous.”

“Good. Cause I only have eyes for you, Yoongi,” she said before kissing his cheek.

His cheeks reddened from her confession. It took a lot to get him flustered, but she always found a way. Feeling nervous all of a sudden, Yoongi glanced at her, unsure of what to say.

“Persephone, I need to ask you something.”

The change in his voice made her worried. Was he second guessing their relationship? Was it too much to handle? Would he rather be alone? So many thoughts ran through her mind, she didn’t notice Yoongi dropping to one knee clearing his throat.

She looked down as the realization crossed her face. “Oh my Zeus…Yoongi?!”

He smiled up at her, taking a small box out of his pocket. “I thought I’d be alone forever… I accepted that fate for so long until you came into my life. You wonderful, beautiful being whose heart is so full. You made a place for me and let me love you. I want to spend the rest of my life devoting myself to you. Will you marry me?”

Persephone was stunned. Did she hear him correctly? Yoongi asked her to marry him.

Her eyes misted over as she tried to not get choked up as he slipped an obsidian ring set with amethyst gems. As soon as he stood, Persephone jumped into his arms pressing her lips to his. Yoongi gripped the back of her legs, picking her up and pushed her against the rail.

The party went on below as he kept her on the balcony.

He pulled away, running his tongue against her ear.

“Gonna make love to you right, now my Goddess of Spring. I don’t care who sees us.”

“Y-Yes. Please,” she begged.

The rustling of clothing was muffled by the music below. Yoongi dropped to his knees looking up at her pussy as he pushed her skirt up and pulled her panties to the side. Groaning, he spread her legs stroking her outer lips. She jumped at his touch, biting down on her lower lip.

“Your pussy smells delicious. May I have a taste?”

“Yes, my Hades,” she moaned softly.

Yoongi buried his tongue past her folds, moaning as he tasted her. Such sweet notes. Persephone tried to stay quiet, but he felt too good. Her knuckles tightened on the balcony railing as she threw her head back in pleasure.

Her fingers dragged through his dark hair. He let it grow longer than before. The ends touched the back of his neck. Just enough for her to grip onto. He was relentless. His tongue swirled around her clit, loving the sounds she made. Her sounds grew louder as his fingers added to the pleasure, pumping two while he continued his feast.

Persephone clenched around his fingers and he knew she was close. He stopped his movements, pulling away. She whined out as he stood up kissing her as she tasted her essence on his lips.

Yoongi grunted, feeling himself tighten in his pants.

"I need you now, Kitten."

She nodded as he turned her so she faced the balcony. Suckling on her neck until marks bloomed, he leaned in close to her.

"I want everyone to know we're together. I don't care who sees us.”

Without a pause, Yoongi slipped past her folds. They groaned out in unison. He let her adjust before snapping his hips. She jerked forward, grabbing onto the railing as she tried to keep her sounds muffled. Yoongi sucked in his teeth, taking a handful of her hair and tugging it with a sharp snap.

"Let them hear you."

"H-Hades!!!"

His eyelids fluttered shut from her voice. "Fuck yes Persephone. Say my name."

He slid his hand up her shirt tugging at her bra releasing her breast from their confines. He squeezed, pinched and pulled on her pert nipples as the sound of skin connecting filled the air along with their sounds. If anyone at the party could hear them, they didn't let it on. It was better to not feel the wrath of the God of the Underworld.

His fingers dug into her hip as his movements quickened. Persephone could only cry out as her eyes rolled back. This was a new side to him. Normally he'd be gentle with her but this was a welcome change. Yoongi being rough was becoming a turn on for her.

As if she couldn't have become deeper in love with him, her body readied for her orgasm. She'd been building it since he ate her out. The electric current ran through as her sounds went an octave higher.

"I-I'm gonna…. fuck Yoongi please-"

He smiled wide, kissing her shoulder, and pinched her nipples once more.

"Cum for me Goddess."

Persephone threw her head back as the flowers in her hair burst open as pollen sprinkled down. Yoongi gasped as he followed suit, holding onto her as his forehead pressed against her back.

It seemed to last for some time until both collapsed against the railing.

Breathing hard, Yoongi smiled at her, kissing her cheek and neck before sliding out. He helped her clean up and redress before leading them back to the party.

He couldn't keep his hands off her as she couldn't help but giggle.

The moment was short-lived as a shrill voice screamed over the music.

"PERSEPHONE!!"

She froze in her tracks, gripping Yoongi’s arm.

"Oh no."

"What baby?"

The color drained from her face.

"My mother's here."

F4 FEVER ✨

Okay, can we all agree that our childhood is not complete if we do not have a crush on one of the F4s or if we did not watched Hana Yori Dango adaptations. Who does not imagine herself being the female lead falling for the rich, handsome, toxic male lead? Or falling for the second male lead who wears in all white or any white in it? Just kidding! But I know we all loved the series.

So before I get into my point, I would like to remind you, my dear readers, that the things I will discuss here is based on my opinions. Everything that I will be put here is based on my point of views and own understanding.

Please do not forget to give me comments and please be gentle when giving one. I would love to meet other people who has the same insterests.

So… let’s get started!

🌸 THE F4 and their story 🌸

First let us know who are the F4 and their story.

F4 or also known as the 🌸 FLOWER FOUR 🌸 is a clique of young, handsome, rich men who rules the school just because they are rich and most popular. F4 came from the manga, Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) , which is written by a Japanese writer and illustrator, Yoko Kamio.

The story revolves around Makino Tsukushi who came from a middle class family. She studies at Eitoku Gakuen (academy) where the F4 rules. Tsukasa Domyouji, Rui Hanazawa, Sojirou Nishikado and Akira Mimisaka. All four of them are friends since Kindergarten and causes the bullying inside the school whenever someone gets in their way. They bully the students by the means of the RED CARD. When Tsukushi helped her friend from Tsukasa’s bullying, she stood up against him and kicked him, making Tsukasa interested on her because she was the only girl who stands up to them. Tsukushi fell in love with Rui while Rui is still waiting for Shizuka Todou, Rui’s first love. Then there was Tsukushi’s mom who is against their love because Tsukasa comes from a rich family and we know the rest.

No matter how long and what year, we always bing watch and rewatch the series because it gives us different kinds of story-telling which makes it interesting no matter how many adaptations we watched.

🌸 THE F4 and their adaptations 🌸

Hana Yori Dango has an anime adaptation as well as a movie which first aired in 90s. The first ever television series was aired in Taiwan on year 2001 where we met Dao Ming Xi, Huaze Lei, Xi Men, Mei Zou and of course… Shancai. Yes, METEOR GARDEN. It was released in 2001 and popularized since then.

Meteor Garden Taiwan has two parts. Just so we thought Shancai and Azi have their happy ending, that is where Azi had amnesia on Season 2 and we met Princess Ye Sha and things just go crazier.

The second country to adapt it into a TV series is no other than Japan. I do not know if they really intended it then Taiwan did it first or they decided to have live-action series after the success of Meteor Garden.

Hana Yori Dango was released in 2005 and yes we all loved Domyouji! *heart eyes with drools* We cannot deny how handsome and charismatic Jun Matsumoto is even when we first saw him as an Arashi singer. The series had a part 2 also which is pretty similar to the Taiwanese version. I do not know if the Japanese stick with the manga (bec I haven’t read the manga yet) but there are things that are not similar to other adaptations. There is also a Hana Yori Dango Final: The Movie with the same casts but the story revolves around the engaged life of Tsukushi and Tsukasa.

In 2009, South Korea’s Kdrama was sky-rocketing when they released the TV series Boys Over Flowers, the Korean adaptation. This is where it was popularized again not just in Asia but all over the world. In this show we met Lee Min Ho and Kim Bum whom we gushed over a hundred times because why not. *raining hearts* *heart eyes* A lot of fans became nostalgic when they watched the show. It lasted for 25 episodes with super catchy OST. Almoooost paradiseeeee~

After 17 years, China released their own METEOR GARDEN. It was year 2018 when Cdramas are being popular and of course they have to have a remake of Meteor Garden. *for youuuuuuu ooohhh ooohhh~* We cannot deny the love we had for the new casts especially to Dylan Wang, Darren Chen and Shen Yue.

The lastest adaptation that we loved and one of the most awaited adaptations is the F4 Thailand on 2021. We cannot deny how beautiful they changed the story but still the same plot is there. We loved Bright, Dew, Win and Nani on their Thai Series but we loved them more on portraying the infamous F4. They gave us new stories to the series and we cannot help but to delve deeper into their stories. We cannot wait for a week just for the next episode to be released. Let us admit it, we missed the F4! The show was 16 episodes and kuddos to the writer, director and crew staffs for being so creative on the story-telling. How I miss Gorya and Thyme and of course… Ren! *hearts everywhere*

I was shocked when I knew that Indonesia, USA and India had their own adaptations too but as a web series. I stumbled upon it when I am searching about the topic and saw it. It is unlicensed/unofficial adaptations but it is where it came from. Siapa Takut Jatuh Cinta (Indonesia) was released on 2002 and had another adaptation on 2017. Boys Before Friends (USA) on 2013 and Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan (India) on 2014. China has also an entry called entitled Meteor Shower that was released on 2009.

🌸 The F4 and their differences 🌸

Same plot, same story line but different scenes. Maybe that is the reason why we loved these adaptations and it does not matter if we know the start to the end of the story because of its variations.

On Meteor Garden Taiwan since it is the first to have a TV series, it became a little bit detailed and has 27 episodes on the first season and 31 on the second season. We cried, we laughed and we feel what we need to feel on every scenes. Even there was a point where we chose Huaze Lei over Dao Ming Xi for hurting Shan Cai. We watched how their feelings grew and how they fought against all odds. It has also a side story of the F4 which is the Meteor Rain where we knew about Xi Men’s first love and Mei Zou’s love story. We do not know more about the F4’s family but we know that they are born with silver spoon and that they are spoiled rich kids who rule the Ying De Academy.

On Hana Yori Dango I guess they really stick to the manga. It has three parts, the last one is a movie about the engagement of Tsukasa and Tsukushi. This is the only adaptation that has a spin-off called Hana Nochi Hare which took place on Eitoku Academy ten years after the F4 graduated. Unlike the Taiwanese version, Rui Hanazawa is a quiet guy and his family owns a large trading firm. Sojiro came from a reputable family who owns a large tea ceremony school at Japan. He has an older brother which is not on other adaptations. Akira came from a family of mafia and has twin sisters which is not said on other adaptations.

On Boys Over Flowers, we had a new taste of the story. We saw how lavish the life of the F4 and how grand Gu Jun Pyo can give gifts to Jan Di, for example is a heart island on Jeju. Talk about money! We also loved the characters of the F4. Jun Pyo who came from a rich family and plays violin just like Huaze Lei of Taiwan adaptation, Jiho who is the grandson of the former President, Yi Jung came from a family of artists and he is skillful on pottery and Woo Bin whose family owns a large construction company and they have connections to the mafias.

Meteor Garden 2018 is a bit of mild compared to other adaptations. The F4 is not really that bad bullies compared to the other adaptations. They are just smart players of their game who ruled Ming De University because they are intellegent and because they give the school numerous awards because if their skills on playing a card game called Bridge (poker). This is the only adaptation with card game like that and that they are in college. All of the adaptations were set in high school. They give joker cards instead of red cards to those people who challenge them. Huaze Lei also plays violin and majors in music unlike the three F4 who majors in business. We do not know much about the other two F4 but we all knew that they are great Bridge players.

Lastly, the F4 Thailand which I can say is the best adaptation. We witnessed on the first seasons how evil Thyme’s Mother is until she became not-so-evil on the end. We saw how MJ cares for his friends and we witnessed how F4 settle their friendship using fists. Hahaha! We witnessed how Thyme changed and how Gorya struggled just so Thyme could remember. We realized that this show could really happen in real life but also how great it is if someone who holds into power like that changed because of love. This is the only adaptation where I saw that the male lead (Thyme) asks forgiveness to everyone he bullied. Talk about character development! We also knew Kavin’s first love and MJ’s KFC love. Hahaha! We saw how Ren got hurt when Mira decided to go abroad and settle. We knew each character, Thyme is possessive to his power at school because of his Mom. Ren who likes to draw and is very artistic came from a family of Doctors. Kavin who is a playboy yet afraid to fall in love again because of Mona came from a family with high ranking positions in the government. His grandmother is also a National Artist because she makes really nice flower garlands. And, MJ who is a handsome hacker and came from a family of mafia. We witnessed different forms of love and how it was portrayed by the different persons because it is what they knew.

I am so sad because I will the shows but happy also because who does not love that story? Who does not love a toxic guy that changes into a good one because of love? Of course no one in real life would like that but because it is very entertaining, we watched it.

I hope other countries would make their own adaptations. What I like it more is it showcases the trends and cultures in each countries. So I really hope Indonesia, India and USA will make a TV series adaptation not only a web-series. I hope Philippines will make one too!
