Day 10: Difficulty Breathing

Summary:

The first one is yellow, petals rounded. A buttercup.

“Ah, fuck.”

Notes:

Me @ the discord: ... can I fit chronic hanahaki into a 100 word drabble?

… The answer is, yes I can fit chronic hanahaki into one hundred words :D
Thanks to Crow, who sent me down this path! Inspired by this tumblr post on chronic hanahaki

Work Text:

The first one is yellow, petals rounded. A buttercup.

“Ah, fuck.” Geralt’s chest tightens, even though it’s still too early.

Usually, he might consider going to Jaskier, but not even he’s dense enough to misunderstand who this specific flower means. It still doesn’t tell him what it means, though.

Fuck, indeed.


Geralt’s chest gets tighter, and the flowers multiply, and he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do.

That’s the problem with all of this: knowing he is missing something doesn’t help with figuring out what.


“– bring your… pet bard.”

“My friend,” Geralt growls, and takes a deep breath.

Oh.
