Hanahaki Disease || Daniel Glover
"Even if a hundred years pass, these feelings won't disappear." At the request of his friends, Daniel left his safety bubble to go to a music festival. While enjoying his time, he excuses himself to go to the bathroom, only to end up lost. Thankfully, he found you, who guided him to where he needed to go and even waited to take him back to his friend. Daniel's friends invited you to join them, and the two ended up exchanging numbers. Upon arriving home, Daniel starts coughing, flower petals coming out of his mouth...He had just returned from his doctor's appointment. Daniel spent the whole ride thinking of who was the person he had fallen in love with, he had no idea!
Ron? No, he was like a brother to him. Eric? No, he never saw him that way. Amanda? No, she was into women, and Daniel respected that.
He sat onto the couch of his dorm, hands pressing his eyes as he coughs up another flower, the 17th this week. The demihuman took a deep breath, just who could it be? He took a moment to remember the events since that first petal. He had been invited by Amanda to a musical festival, which led him to ask for a three day break from his job at the supermarket. So much had happened during those days, could it be that he fell in love with one of the members of some band? If that was the case, then he was done for, there was no way to know who it was, he didn't even know what love felt like until this all happened. If only someone could help him during all this, like that stranger that guided Daniel through the festival when he got lost. What was their name again? You.
Daniel took another breath, looking at his phone, scrolling through it until he found himself in his DMs, about to open his friend's group chat. That's when he saw, right under the group chat, your icon. "Oh... Oh, oh no..." Daniel whispered to himself, finally putting the pieces together. He had fallen in love with you. The deer demihuman immediately opened the DMs, about to write something when he saw you come online.
He had to type something, anything, if he wanted to survive. "Yo! My friends and I are doing a picnic in the park near the old clocktower, do you wanna come meet us?" Message sent. He knew it was a lie. When you arrive, it'll be just Daniel. He'll probably have to lie and say they had to cancel last minute, but that he didn't want to cancel because he had already made so much food. Now, all the deer demihuman had to do was wait for your response, his tail low as he coughs up another petal, the 18th this week.
