how it works: flowers basically grow out of your head... painlessly?
maybe we can do headaches
i mean its not everyday you grow flowers from the roots of your hair??
hanahaki v2
stage 1: up to 4 flowers can grow out of your hair every day
stage 2: 10 flowers max, stem can span really long
stage 3: 18 max, youll start coughing up petals on occasion
stage 4: 25 max, youll cough up half a flower twice a day
stage 5: 40 max, youll cough up a full flower every 3 hours, its harder to speak and theres a strange tingling feeling in your throat
stage 6: youre dead. thats it, you die in a pile of flowers. lol
similar start/end lines: an allium is placed in [place]
1)
-ranboo wakes up ✔
-they find a flower in their hair ✔
-okay. two ✔
-hes confused ✔
-they arent supposed to have it??? ✔
-assumes its tommy putting it in his hair ✔
-they werent in the flower field yesterday ✔
-then what the fuck is that? ✔
-another allium grows out from his roots, drooping over their face ✔
-ok thats kinda weird ✔
-ranboo plucks it off, which comes out surprisingly easy and harmless ✔
-maybe its just a silly prank ✔
-he shrugs it off, leaving the room ✔
-the allium watches them ✔
2)
-ranboo is accompanying tommy in the palace gardens
-his helmet is down
-"i still think its stupid that you wear a mask under that"
-"look man it doesnt hurt anyone"
-a few more flowers bloom out of ranboos head
-"yo thats so cool"
-"uhh yeah"
-they pluck it out of their hair and hands it over, to which tommy goes "oh my god youre the best person ever"
3)
-it gets worse
-ranboos on shift when a few flowers threaten to push out of their helmet
-the armour feels like its getting progressively tighter around his body
-hes a knight, theyre supposed to be strong
-"fuck you man"
-they push it out of his head
-he starts to softly cough, assuming theyre choking on something
-"what the fuck"
-they run to the bathroom, biting back whatever seems to be coming out
-he coughs violently, petals pushing its way out
-"pause what"
-"why are there petals???"
-hes a bit concerned, but surely it cant get worse from there
4)
-they accompany tommy out into the forest
-lets say maybe they stop around a river
-just a nice and peaceful thing
-until ranboo starts violently gagging again
-they both panic
-tommy pulls off ranboo's helmet
-a lot of alliums start popping out of their hair, although squashed
-ranboo pulls off their mask around tommy for the first time
-"ok thats new" BUT NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR IT HES DYING
-tommy helps him cough into the grass, literally just the fuzzy part of the allium being spewed out
-"did you eat fucking alliums??"
-"no?? im not cra-"
-they start spewing more
-"oh god this is really bad we should go to the doctor"
-"nonono its fine"
-tommy helps him back
5)
-hes not diagnosed with anything
-to be fair, ranboo stopped coughing flowers for a bit
-maybe a few days, four?
-the alliums in the vases, he'd assume nine are very much well and alive
-"perhaps its all over"
-they heave a sigh of relief
-he sits, armour heavy as it pushes down on the bed
-tommy returns, concerned
-"theres still a chance it might come back"
-"yeah but thats not like today lol"
-theres still a few alliums in ranboos hair, although neatly inserted into a short, high ponytail
-"hey tommy"
-"what"
-"if i die-"
-"youre not dying"
-"ok but let me finish -- if i die, plant my alliums into our garden"
-"...ok."
-"but youre not dying"
-"i know"
6)
-the flowers in the vase gets lesser and lesser
-ranboo removes one for each day hes well
-theres only two left
-they go back to casual duty, getting shit done
-and then a overwhelming dizziness rushes into his head
-he passes out, in the middle of the palace hallways, armour loudly slamming onto the floor
-when hes found, ranboo was engulfed in a whole pile of alliums, blooming under their armour
-one allium is placed on their grave, and one in the palace gardens, to be taken care of forever
