    Summary

    Ivan breathes a humorless laugh. "I don't know what it is you want from me."

    Till furiously snaps back, "I want you to—" before cutting himself off. He takes a deep breath and relaxes his scrunched-up facial features before continuing, quieter. "I'm your best friend. I find you half passed out in some—fucked up garden that you've been coughing up for a year, and I'm freaking out because I don't know what's going on or—or if you'll be okay, and now that I know you're okay, the doctors are saying they can't let you go because you're too damn sick to be left alone!"

    His lower lip quivers ever so slightly. Ivan, for his own sake, unfocuses his eyes until Till is only a shapeless blur of colors in the middle of a sea of hospital white.

    "I'm your best friend," the blur repeats, breathlessly. "I want you to fucking say something to me."

    Hanahaki disease is, quite famously, a condition born from love. Ivan is convinced that his case is the exception to this rule. And when each of his friends inevitably starts catching on to his quickly deteriorating health, everything goes spinning out of control.

    Summary

    "Shut up," Till says. His fingers twitch, the tip of his pencil dragging against the page haphazardly. “Not all of us can be like you. Popular. Perfect. Reliable. Always nodding when they ask you for just one more favor, even when you're barely standing after those stupid extra lessons of yours. Always letting them drag you away without a word."

    "Till," Ivan sighs, pinching the skin of his own wrist. The pain is grounding, as it was back then. It is unfortunate that he has to do it rather lightly. Another one of Till's red dots had appeared by his pulse this morning. Till seems to favor this area, which puts Ivan in an awkward spot because it forces him to be unnaturally gentle with himself.

    (Or: Years after the rupture of the meteor shower, Ivan begins waking up with strange dots on his skin)

    Summary

    It was only when Ivan had no way to see Till again that he thought, "Oh. I just wanted him to stay."

    Or,

    What if the choices had been different? What if he had turned another corner?

    Summary

    When Ivan's soulmark first appears, he feels wronged by the universe. Convinced he is poison and that Till deserves a life free from him, Ivan dedicates himself to a life of avoidance, believing the most loving act he can offer is his own absence.

    Meanwhile, Till searches.
