♡ But He's Gone

                                    

                                          
Hanahaki Disease. A disease born from unrequited love, where flowers bloom from the patient's lungs.

                          


                          
"One more!" Nishinoya yelled. Everyone looked at him wanting a short break but after taking notice of how his eyes sparkled, they sighed and got into position.
                          
There are 3 ways to free the patient from this illness
                          
Nishinoya attempted the libero toss once more, this time however, Asahi was able to spike it.
                          
1; the patient's crush is returns their feelings and they are in love
                          
Nishinoya and the group yelled in euphoria seeing the fruits of their efforts, they were happy. 
                          
2; The patient gets it surgically removed, although they lose their feelings for the person they had longed to love.
                          
When Nishinoya noticed the ace blushing as Kiyoko congratulated him. He felt him self suppress the flowers coming up through his throat.
                          
And of course, number 3; the patient is too slow to choose their fate or they are rejected. 
                          
"I-I'm gonna go to the toilet" Nishinoya yelled before running to a washroom. 
                          
Once this happens, the flowers within the lungs suffocate the patient, the patient will often times try to remove them by force via coughing, although this does not end well for the patient, it quickens their death. 
                          
Nishinoya violently coughed up petals, blood stained them as he continously coughed into his hand. 
                          
Nishinoya flushed the glowing petals down the toilet. Washing his hands and mouth out with water.
                          
"Nishinoya, are you okay?" Asahi asked. 
                          
"Yeah! I'm totally fine!" He lied, he felt more flowers and petals come up.
                          
"E-excuse me..." he muttered before running away.

Everyday, the libero would get slower during practice and ask for more breaks to the washroom.
                          
During the match against Shiratorizawa, he started to feel more sluggish, although he kept going, suppressing every single petal.
                          
Until he broke.
                          
Nishinoya fell to the ground with a thud, he brought his hand up to his mouth to stop himself from coughing out petals, the first to notice was his bestfriend, Tanaka Ryuunosuke.
                          
"NISHINOYA?!" Tanaka yelled, everyone's attention quickly turned to them rather than the awards.
                          
Nishinoya violently coughed up glowing red, orange, and yellow petals, even a full flower.
                          
Everyone crowded around the libero, Sugawara putting down the trophy and rushing to his side once he noticed.
                          
"TAKEDA CALL AN AMBULANCE!!" Coach ukai yelled "Nishinoya, stay with me here!" Coach yelled. 
                          
The Shiratorizawa players, Shiratorizawa coaches, the reporters, their classmates, the karasuno staff, everyone, could only watch in horror.
                          
"Nishinoya! Stay with us! Just a little longer! The ambulance will be here soon! Please, Nishinoya!" Sugawara yelled hastily as he cradled the small libero in his arms.
                          
Everyone was panicked, Daichi and Kiyoko quickly asked for the cameras to be cut for Nishinoya's sake.
                          
"Nishinoya, try to suppress it, the ambulance will be here soon" Takeda said assuringly.
                          
"I...can't..." Nishinoya managed to get out, his coughs became more and more violent, blood following most of it.
                          
"Nishinoya-senpai! Please! Stay with us!" Hinata begged.
                          
The ambulance quickly arrived and took Nishinoya into their care, not even bothering to stop at red lights.
                          
Karasuno quickly followed with their bus, they didn't bother grabbing the awards or trophies, they only wanted to hear that he would be okay. That Nishinoya would be okay.
                          
But that wasn't the case.
                          
Karasuno's libero passed away during the ride to the hospital.
                          
This deeply affected the team, but more importantly, Asahi.
                          
Asahi felt tears stream down his cheeks, he didn't know what happened, nor did he know why.
                          
All he knew was that he didn't want his libero to leave.
                          
But he's gone
