Coughing Fit [fanart]

Summary:

A pair of oblivious individuals caught in a coughing fit.

For SeiSub Hanami Exchange 2020, a gift for CJ. Prompt: Hanahaki Disease.

(Because of the nature of fictional Hanahaki disease, content warning for: painful coughing/coughing up blood/breathing problems and disturbing imagery related to things being inside of lungs that really shouldn’t be there (in this case: sakura tree branches, ouch.) If this is something you do not wish to see, please, don't. Stay safe.)

Spoilers: for Volume 16

Chapter 1: [colour version]

Summary:

Pictured: a pair of oblivious individuals caught in a coughing fit.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Pictured: a pair of oblivious individuals caught in a coughing fit.

Notes:

I also wanted to incorporate prompts "Soulmate AU — artist/writer choice on what kind" — hence the red string tied to their little fingers — and "Cosmos/stars" — hence the starry sky.

Can you see the Ursa Minor with Polaris, the North Star, in the upper left corner?
(I was misremembering the North Star as being Hokuto's namesake, that's why there's an emphasis on this star. But if I understand correctly, this was wrong, and Hokuto's name is actually homophonous with Ursa Major, The Big Dipper, (which cannot really be seen in this illustration) in Japanese, oops. Well, I guess, it makes sense for the North Star to be extra bright regardless.)
And the small cluster of bluish stars on the right side of the sky is supposed to be the Pleiades, Seven Sisters, "Subaru" in Japanese.

I actually tried to look up what the November night sky above Tokyo is like (November because that's when Rainbow Bridge took place, right?) and place the big stars and constellations accordingly, but I probably got things wrong.
