Techno x hanahaki! reader
Cw: blood, puking, angst, reader dies
Who knew love could kill? Everyone knew. You could die from a broken heart, sadness, and depression. You should've known better than to fall for your best friend, The Blood God. He doesn't do love, it makes him gag, he once told you.
You knew not to fall for him but you couldn't help it. He was irresistible.
Anyway, I think I met him some time before
You don't know when you had fallen for the brute piglin. Maybe it was from day one when you had met him through his longtime friend Phil, or the way he had subconsciously protected you from hostile mobs the first time you accompanied him to the nether, or the day he was to be executed he was protecting you and cared for your well being as much as he did for his horse, Carl, before lifting you onto the horse and rode off back to his cabin as you wrapped your arms around his waist leaning into his warm body. Whatever it was your fate was destined to fall for the hybrid, he really was the death of you.
In a different life or where I record
When Phil had moved in with Techno you had moved in as well. having your own Cabin next to your two buddies. That's when the sickness began. It started off as a little cough and wheeze but it soon became more violent, your chest tightened every cough and your lungs feel like it was getting stabbed every once in a while, it became harder to breathe.
You brushed it off as a simple flu, Phil and Techno weren’t as worried either but they still brought you some medicine as Phil activated dad mode when your sickness failed to die down. He made you meals, teas, and had you bedridden. It been almost two months and the two men were beginning to worry for you. Techno hardly showed his emotions and hardly cared for peoples well being but with you and Phil it was different, Phil could read Techno like a book and knew the Piglin was worried for you. The way his ears popped up, his facial muscles barely moving a centimeter and his eyebrows slightly pinching together every time a violent cough ripped through your throat. He really was worried for you. However Phil failed to notice that Techno was slowly falling for you too.The winged hybrid of course knew that you were slumped for Techno, you didn’t really hide it well especially now that you’ve moved in with them.
Your symptoms seemed to grow worse every time Techno came around or you caught sight of him it would triggered your coughs and every cough came back worse and worse, so had begun avoiding him. It wasn't noticeable to Techno at first, but he soon began to take notice the lack of your presence, he had tried to visit you on days he wasn’t busy which was every few weeks but you came up with an excuse every time, it had managed to keep him away for about a month into your sickness until he had approached Phil about your sudden distant behavior, the blonde had assured the piglin and agreed to talk to you. Phil had came to your cabin seeing you reading a book by the fireplace. He asked about your sudden change in behavior with Techno, that when he was you body, more specifically your torso flinch almost like in pain the second you heard Technoblades name.
Before you could say anything violent coughs ripped at you throat. Your body curled in on itself with your arms wrapping around your stomach. Phil panicked as he saw blood splatter from your mouth to your clothing, you were surprised too. You’d never coughed blood before. Phil was quick to rush to your side and help you sit up, your throat and lungs were burning, you head was pounding, and it felt like something was caught in your throat. Another wave of coughs came through and something came out. A single pink petal few out. Gently gliding down and landing onto your lap. Phil freaked out as you just say there in shock. You’ve heard of a diseas like this in books at the old village library but you didn’t think it wa real. Let alone the fact that you’ve coughed technos favorite flower just made the situation worse. Phil was confused and freaked out. You can’t let him know. “Phil get out.” You croaked out. You couldn’t move, your body was worn out with all that coughing taking a number on you. “I don’t want you getting this. Get out.” You lied, you never did but anything to stop him and anyone be from knowing. But Phil simply shook his head as he helped you up and began leading you to your bedroom. Setting you down and tucking you under the covers he sat down on the end of the bed by your feet. He could hear your suffering and felt you trembling body shake the bed. He was stressing out. “I’ll be fine-“
“Shut up.” He cut you off, you looked at him taken back by the sudden aggression in his voice. “I’m sorry… It’s just- its just that you’ve been sick for almost three months and you’ve e been acting like its nothing when it’s clearly something, you’ve gotten pale, and look more and more weak as the days pass. And know your coughing petals. A fucking flower (yn)!!” You looked away from and suddenly taking interest in the wall. “You know what it is. Don’t you?” Crap. He knows. You still refused to look at him. “(Yn). Tell me. What is it. I’m not going till you tell me, or else I’ll just ask Kristen myself.” You sighed and finally turned to meet his hard gaze. “There’s a disease I’ve read about but I didn’t think it was real until the moment I coughed out that petal.”
“It’s called Hanahaki Disease, it’s when you have fallen in love for someone but they don’t love you back. It starts off with small coughs that eventually grew worse, then you start to grow your vines that sprout into the flower your crush likes, you start coughing them up and eventually throwing them up, the flowers continue to grow and you’ll begin to cough out blood from the vines penetrating your lungs, they’ll grow out of your lungs and wrap around them tightening as the flowers fill your lungs and eventually suffocating to death with the flowers, vines and blood. It’s a terrible experience and the process and Dow fast you die due to the disease varies with different people. Sometimes it’s slow and sometimes it’s quick.” Phil was silent, he heard of it years ago but never thought of it. He stared down at his lap. “How do we cure it?” He asked. “As far as I know your crush must reciprocate and confess their feelings to you. You’re done for it they don’t love you back.” You fumbled with you fingers playing with the loose string of thread on your blanket. The room grew silent for a minute which felt like forever.
You could feel tears prick your eyes, you were gonna die, Technoblade was a man who couldn’t love romantically. That wasn’t his parte. It wasn’t on his list, his list was to overrun the government, he and anarchist and subdue the voices needs for blood shed every damn day. Love just isn’t for Technoblade.
“You need to tell him. He’ll understand.” Phil started but you were quick to shake your head, “No I never will, I was the idiot that fell for a brute that care for nothing but anarchy and blood lust. There’s nothing I can do.” You looked at Phil. “Please don’t tell him. You’ll only make it worse, it hurts enough already.” You could tell he wasn’t convinced. You knew he was still going to tell techno. “At least wait till after the war. Please. He already he’s enough to deal with, he doesn’t need this right now. Please Phil!” If you could you would be begging to the man on your knees if you could. Like you were begging for mercy. “Ok, ok- but the moment we come back from war you have to confess. Deal?” You frantically nodded. “Thank you Phil.” You relaxed into your bed sheets. Now you can have more time to prepare yourself but you knew when dooms day comes you’re still going to be mentally unprepared.
The day came. Dooms day. Phil and techno had been preparing a ring since dawn. Now it was at least 10 am, you spent all morning in your room until a knock erupted the silence in your home. Phil stood there when you opened the door. His eyes looked rather sad as he smiled at you. “We’re heading out. We’ll see you in a few hours. We’ll probably be back by nightfall, I’ll be leaving some of my crows here to look after you. If you get into trouble or something happens they’ll fly over to me amd I’ll come as fast as I can here.” You could only nod, your throat was so dry and scratchy you couldn’t bother to speak anymore. Phil lifted his hand setting it on top of you head amd ruffled your hair a little before turning around and walking down your porch giving you one last look over his shoulder he and Techno got settled onto their horses and rode off with the army of dogs following behind. Some hauling boxes on sleds packed with weapons and potions the boys couldn’t carry.
You decided to watch them ride off walking out to the edge of the wooden porch. Your eyes landed on Techno and Phil’s distant forms on their respected horses you eyes then met with crimson ones. You froze and quickly turned away and headed back into your house feeling your lungs tightened. You left so quickly you missed the pain hidden in those blood red eyes.
A few hours of being alone you had decided to chill out on your front porch and drink some tea watching Phil’s crows play around and fight each other some yelling ‘POG’ and whatnot. Steve sat next to you, chewing on a thick and sturdy bone from Techno's last hunt. Suddenly the silent peace is disturbed when Steve begins to nuzzle your arm, he began to huff and puff almost like he was worried. You grew confused as you patted his head when a cough ripped at your throat, blood spattering out of your mouth, onto your clothing and floor. Steve whined as he stood up beside you, you had leaned on him feeling your knees grow weak. You continued to cover your mouth as blood seeped through your fingertips, you stumbled off the porch, the blood dripping into a patch of pure white snow staining it.
the next wave of coughs caused your knees to give in and cause you to crash into some snow on the ground, the blood spilling into a pool standing out in the snow, suddenly a clump of substances was forcefully coughed out of your throat, landing into your hand. you examined it and saw its bright color stained with your blood on different places, it was a cherry blossom flower, Technos' favorite flower, you had remembered that Techno and you had been hanging with each other under an apple blossom tree, petals had fallen from the tree above you two. It was beautiful scenery, you remember a petal fell on your hair but you didn’t bother with it as you continued to watch the soft shower on petal around you both, it wasn’t till you felt the gentle pull of your hair stands on the top of your hair. Turning to the side you meet technos eyes and the blow tal that landed on your head in the palm of his hand. He chuckled as another fell into your hair again which made you laugh, your faces feeling warm. Although technos blush was invisible compared to yours. The scene looked like it was straight out of a romance novel that you read, two acquaintances feeling in love with each other. If only. You don't know why but you began to walk towards the cherry blossom tree you were surprised some had sprouted but then again. Spring was arriving soon and majority of the snow had melted around the tundra. Your coughs and puking out the flowers had interrupted you once in a while on your way.
Techno and Phil began walking back to the tundra, soot and gun powder had covered had covered the pair. Techno of course was covered in a bit of his own blood but mostly in the blood of others. They had a casual chat, cracking a joke once in a while, when the approached the cabins. It wasn’t numerous caws echoed. It sounded distressed. Phil had a bad gut feeling the whole day the moment he left you back at home but catching sight of his crows flying straight for him and techno yelling out their names his stomach felt like it was aching. “HELP! PHIL TECHNO! (YN) NOT WELL!” They all began yelling out. Phil didn’t waste a second as he began running back home. Techno following not long after running past Phil as he made his way to you. His heart began racing and his heart hurt with a slight sting, and his voices weren’t helping either, they were making his worry even worse as they yelled for you.
Techno soon caught sight of the cabins and his eyes automatically caught sight of the red standing out in the medium sized patch of snow, but he grew confused with the sight of cherry blossom petals scattered in one pile with blood splattered on them. He soon grew worried as he rushed out to the woods following the trail as Phil checked your house seeing the blood starting from your porch and out into the forest. Techno took noticed that it seemed like Steve followed your trail his paw prints next to your, he couldn’t have attack you since your trail didn’t show signs of being thrown off and showings a fight but maybe he attacked you at the house first which made you run as he trailed behind. Techno quickly turned around and yelled out for Phil to get some regeneration potion and a medical kit as he drew his sword and ran off with Phil yelling out ‘ok’ as Techno followed the trail of blood. If he has to kill Steve then so be it.
“(YN)!!!” He called out his voice echoing far out all the way to where you were. You sat by the shore of the lake, behind you the cherry blossom that was surprisingly still blossoming and thriving now that spring was slowly arriving. You still had some strength but you’re sure to bleed out, you’d rather die out here then at home and have techno see you in this state. Bleeding from your mouth and nose you gave up on wiping it away with your clothing already drenched in fresh and dried blood. Your body weak, shivering, and covered in blossom petals. Techno will definitely know what you died of and with Phil telling him who the cause of it was he’d sure be ashamed of you for falling in love with him. At least you had Steve to comfort you on your last moments, he curled behind you, providing you a soft fuzzy and warm place to rest on his side belly. His head resting on your lap, he could tell you were dying too, he would whine every few seconds as he looked up at you, his eyes showing sympathy and sadness.
You could tell he was getting closer, his booming voice growing louder, he can run fast. His voice sounded worried. You wished you had time and the strength to cover up your trail of blood so you could die with only Steve by your side but Phil’s crows had arrived resting on the floor and up in the trees around you. Some of them few away not being able to handle the sight of your weak form practically on deaths doorstep. You sighed before slowly getting up, Steve helping you as support, you slowly dragged your feet up the hill, towards the cherry blossom tree. Reaching the tree you leaned all your weight on it, coughing out another handful of whole cherry blossom flowers, the cough taking a hit on you, your knees gave out once again, for good you were sure. All your strength wasted walking up the hill, as you fell back Steve whined out approaching your face softly nuzzling your temples, you lean onto your side feeling another wave of flowers rush up your throat. You grew them up constan for a whole minute, loads of blood that you didn’t even think you had left In you was now all spilt out of you and chunks of the flowers began to pool beside you. You body was done now for sure. You were gonna die here. You mind blurry and body just dead. Your world began to grow dark. Your breathing shallowed and your eyes fluttered starting straight up the beautiful cherry blossom above petals falling around you some into the pool of blood the petals you had puked out blending in. Maybe Techno won’t realize it was Hanahaki that killed you. He’ll just think you bled out. Speaking of which, you’ll miss him, sucks that you won’t get to see him one last time and apologize. But at least you can watch over him from afar. Although it won’t be the same as being right next to him.
With one last exhale your eyes went dull, you had left the world staring up into the cherry blossom tree, another reminder of Techno. No matter how hard you tried you can never escape him, not even on your last breath.
But my vision ends with the apple on the tree
Sorry that really sucked. I just thought of this and did it. :p
