The Hanahaki Disease Meme

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...

1- Discovery:
There's the one person who makes your heart leap into your throat- but wait, that's not your heart. Where are all these flowers coming from? And why do they remind you of your beloved?

2- Concern:
Someone you know has been acting strange lately... Coughing a lot, hiding their hands all the time... It's enough to make anybody worry.

3- Sicker and Sicker:
Coughing up flower petals all the time isn't easy to hide. But it's getting harder to even breathe, now. You're going to have to make a decision, and soon...

4- Confession:
Everyone knows that there's two ways to get rid of Hanahaki: Surgery (the risk dependent on the time period), or confessing your feelings. Time to toe up and face your beloved and just tell them that you love them so much you're dying from it.

5- Post-Op:
The other option... You just couldn't tell them, but you weren't ready to die. Still, without those feelings the world seems a little less colorful. Can you still be friends with them now that you have to start all over? Do you want to?

6- Make your own!
There's flower petals coming out of somebody's mouth in some way for some reason- make this prompt your own.

Just as a note, due to the nature of the meme vivid descriptions of coughing/choking/gagging are probably going to happen. If you want it toned down, make sure to put that in your top-level.

( ota! )

( very ota; special love for prompts 1, 2, and 4, but i can roll with anything. )

[Mostly have the idea of an AU where he works as a hanahaki florist, and his job is to trim the flowers into something akin to a bonsai arrangement for the person. Could work with a new customer who wants all the flowers off, or a long-time patron whose flowers are so out of control that the only way to live with it is to at least make it a beauty statement for those who don't want surgery.

Okay with possible shipping or one-sided feelings for either party, but mostly this idea is him just being like the bartender drunk people pour their hearts out to and can be platonic. If shipping, open to 16+ only. If gen, OTA.]
