"The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient throws up and coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals."

Second Person POV
———

You sit on your bed, blankly staring at your lap. Tears streaming down your face as you go into coughing fits frequently. You cough up blood and orange flower petals.

You're in love with Joker, but you saw him kiss another girl.

Well, it could've been the other way, but it didn't matter to you. All you saw was that he didn't pull away before you left.

Your heart shattered, you sniffle and wipe away the blood and tears. The petals fall to the floor and your hear someone clearing their throat.

You look up and see no one there, so you know they're on the outside of where you are. Your tent.

You're apart of the circus with great people. Newcomers had joined. All you could remember of them was that one was deemed Smile. You don't talk with them often, as you're pretty distant towards everyone.

Well, except for him.

"Flame? Are you okay?"

That was him.

Joker.

Your name here is Flame, although your real name is YN. You're called Flame because you can not only take being near intense heat, but also because you can do many things with fire. You're able to manipulate it with ease.

Though you also have a burn mark on your jaw that leads a bit onto your left cheek from a fire in your past. It haunted you, the memory, but it made you want to learn to control it. To get over your fear of fire.

And that's exactly what you did.

You clear your throat and sniffle a bit, calling back in a monotone, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"You don't sound fine. I'm coming in," he says worriedly, opening the door of the tent.

You turn away and cover your face, the blood still stained on your arms and lips. You don't attempt to do anything about the flower petals, knowing he saw them already.

When Joker saw your state, his heart broke. Despite you turning away, he could see your skin tainted with the blood and the dried tears on your cheeks. The flower petals on the ground.

He sat next to you and made you face him. He hugged you and you slowly hugging him back. What he did next shocked you.

Joker pulled back and kissed you.

The flower detached itself from the back of your throat as you kissed him, causing you to pull away.

He looked at you in confusion until he saw you spit out the orange flower.

Hanahaki Disease.

He kind of figured that was what it was.

He's just glad he saved you in time.
