//powerplay for peaceful actions are allowed! so this is my plot development prompt thats apart of goretober- hanahaki disease, the flower disease. look it up for more info, but i'll be using a lot of the 'language of flowers' meanings in here.

The cold was something that shouldn't bother Onision, in reality. His body was cold to the touch, his heart didn't beat, so why did it matter if he got sick anyways? He could never die- he'd just have to rely on Aloysius to take over while he healed.

Well, normally.

Now, he couldn't. He had noticed the small coughing fits he had been having, however rare they actually were. He didn't get sick- he knew he didn't, but something wasn't right. He could tell by the way just his coughs sounded, how they seemed to rattle inside of him, making his insides feel like glass- like he could be broken anytime.

It started off with coughs that happened every few days, then turned into every couple of hours. Now, as he sat in the hallways of the observatory, watching the moon filter into the observatory- his mind on two people in particular, he noticed how it had became more often. Every once in a while- it felt like a bug was in his throat, like a fire was there, rolling through his body.

The two on his mind were a constant, never-ending memory. His boyfriend- Alexander, whom he hadn't seen much of recently, and Victor- the male whom he met at the border on a patrol. The typhooner wasn't someone he wanted to see at first, in reality. He hadn't even seen Victor since he had 'joined' the Ascendants, before leaving not even a day or two later.

From just a mere catch-up talk, Oni found himself arguing with both sides of his mind. Victor was apart of an enemy clan, and he had a boyfriend- but the look in Victor's eyes as Oni made a joke, the way he laughed and understood his russian curses and words. It was like a fresh breath of air, but he loved Alexander.

It was complicated, but Onision didn't realize how complicated it was until he had began to hack constantly now. With his paws at his mouth, Oni's coughing fit became worse as he felt something coming up. At first, it felt like bile, and Oni braced himself to throw up all over the windowsil, but he didn't. Instead, something soft fell from his jaws, as well as chilly liquid, soaking into his pawpads.

With a scared glance down, Oni realized that it was the familiar sight of blood on his paws, feeling the crimson igor drip down his chin. Tucked in between his pawpads were daffodil and red dahlia petals, clumped together all in one paw. What the hell? What the fuck was he now, a faerie? Jesus christ.

Then, came the harsh wheezing- his breaths coming out in short bursts as he begged- pleaded- for the pain to just stop. He wanted to die, he didn't want to suffer. But now it was starting to hurt. He could feel more blood spurt from his mouth as he coughed again, the two different flower petals coming back up again.

//So, basically, daffodils mean unrequited love. This refers to Oni secretly having feelings for Victor, but not acting on them. Red Dahlias mean betrayal, symbolizing the idea of Oni having feelings for someone else while being with Alex being betrayal to Alex. Basically, Oni is a mess right now and if he doesn't solve his shit, he finna actually kill this body hes in.
