--Morning--

I woke up to see the sun shining in my room through the window. I look over to see there's still 5 minutes until I have to get ready for school.

I decided that 5 minutes wasn't enough time to try and go back to bed. So I just got ready then.

I got dressed and brushed my teeth, then walked to the common room to eat breakfast.

I sat down next to Uraraka with some bacon.

"Wow Deku. You're not eating a lot," She pointed to my plate.

"I'm not that hungry," I say.

It was true. I wasn't that hungry. And I don't really know why. It was...

Weird...

--At school--

We were at training, and I kept watching Kacchan. I really don't know why, but every time I looked at him, my stomach hurt.

Not in the way where you would feel butterflies in your stomach no. It was like a stomach ache. But worse. 

I felt my stomach start to hurt again. So I looked away. But it didn't end. 

My stomach started to hurt more. It felt like someone was stabbing me. 

I grabbed my stomach in hopes that it would end.

But it didn't.

I fell to my knees, clutching my stomach, grimacing in pain.

"Midoriya! Are you okay? Did something happen?" Kirishima came running over to me, worry on his face.

I couldn't answer. The pain was unbearable. "Aizawa!" Kirishima called out for Aizawa, who came running over.

"Midoriya! Can you hear me?" Aizawa asked. "How many fingers am I holding up?" He puts up 2 fingers.

"T-t-two," I stutter out.

"Good, he's responsive. What's wrong? Can you tell me what's happening?" Almost the whole class was watching what was happening. Aizawa and Kirishima were crouching down to my level.

"I-I d-don't k-" I look up to see Kacchan walking over to see what all the commotion was about. The pain in my stomach increased and moved up to my chest area as he approached. "AH!" I gasped. It started to get harder to breathe. 

"Midoriya!" Aizawa yelled my name again.

"Deku?" I heard Kacchan say my name, shoving through the crowd to see me.

I looked up and we made eye contact.

Mistake.

I stopped breathing. I couldn't.

I gagged trying to fight for air. Aizawa looking around frantically with his hair in the air trying to see if someone was using their quirk on me.

No luck.

I heard Aizawa saying things, but I couldn't make out what it was. Black dots filled my vision, everything fading, everything around me drowning out.

Then everything went black.

~***~

My eyes fluttered open. I was immediately blinded by the bright lights of the infirmary room. I realize there's a breathing mask on my face. I tear it off and sit up. Being able to breathe again.

"Young Midoriya..." I look over to see All Might looking over to me. His face filled with the look of relief. He stood up and ran over to me, engulfing me in a hug.

"All Might? Is everything okay? What happened?" I asked.

He looked at me and sighed. "You just passed out. We think it's from a quirk of some sorts, but we were so scared. You were out for 3 days Midoriya." He held my shoulders as he talked.

"3 days?" I was shocked.

"Indeed." Aizawa entered the room. "I don't know what it was but it looks like we won't ever know. No clues, nothing. It just... Happened. Unless you can explain what happened. Can you?"

I shook my head. "No... sorry," I rubbed my arm.

"We won't push you," He sighed. "Just tell the staff if you know anything."

"Yes sir," he walks out of the room and All Might did as well.  

Recovery girl stayed and helped me out of the bed. I was a little wobbly at first but could walk soon enough.

"You can go back to the dorms on your own correct?" She asked me.

"Yes, of course," I say, walking out of the room.

"Wait!" Recovery girl called after me. I turned around. "You can stay at the dorms tomorrow to recover. Though you'll have a lot of work to catch up on young man," She hit my arm lightly with her cane.

"Okay, thank you," I leave with that and head back to the dorms. 

I hope Recovery girl told them I was awake or something. I really don't want to be tackled right now.

I opened the door to be greeted by everyone in the common room. All heads snapped in the direction of me. Some were shocked, some were tearing up.

What had happened while I was asleep?

"Deku!" I was absorbed into a hug from Uraraka, silent tears flowed from her eyes. "W-we were s-so scared. You didn't wake up for t-three days! Mr. Aizawa wouldn't tell us anything about what happened! We were so anxious. I'm just glad you're okay..."

"I'm fine Uraraka. Sorry if I worried you all. But I'm fine." I waved, releasing her from the hug. "Excuse me, I'm going to my dorm now," I wave as I walk away.

"Goodnight Midoriya!" The class exclaims.

"Goodnight nerd..." I heard someone mumble. I turn around to see Kacchan on the kitchen counter, looking at his phone. 

I smiled to myself. "Goodnight Kacchan,"

I walk to my dorm but my stomach doesn't hurt. I looked at him, talked to him. 

But nothing happened.

I smiled and got my pajamas on, knowing that it wouldn't happen anymore.

Boy did I jinx myself.

Instead, a painful feeling rose from my lungs. I coughed a couple of times, hoping that would make the feeling go away like it normally would when you have to cough.

But it didn't.

The feeling only grew bigger. I coughed, more, and more, and more, and more. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

It wouldn't go away.

I coughed very violently. And soon, a small Orange Lily fell from my mouth.

Kacchan's favorite flower.

I already knew what this was.

I didn't want it to be true.

But I had no choice but to accept it.

I was Infected...

With Hanahaki.

And I was in love with Kacchan.
