~Warning!- Angst (Hanahaki Disease)~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason watched from the shadows as the love of his life got married to another person. He was never able to confess how he felt before his death and since he's come back he was unable to face her, not knowing how to explain how he died and came back, without putting her in danger. Unlike others who knew of his identity, she wasn't superpowered, magical or alien, just an ordinary person trying to live their life.

(Y/n) and Jason grew up on the streets together, even after Jason went to live with Bruce he would visit (Y/n) every day or every night. They'd talk about school, family issues, random stupid jokes and sometimes Jason would give her money when she needed it.

The day Jason realized he had Hanahaki was when he saw her with him. At first he assumed they were friends, until he saw them kiss. 

"Jason, there's a day open for the surgery if you're still up for it." Dick handed Jason his phone. All his information already filled out, only a confirmation was missing.

Going through with the surgery would mean losing his love for (Y/n), but the memories with her will remain. "Even with the surgery.. I'll never be able to talk to her again, so what's the point?" Jason asked Dick.

"Life is the point Jason." Dick frowned, "You're back from the dead! Why are you so eager to go back?" he asked.

"What is the point in living? Murder, grief, loss, debt. Living is not fun." Jason gave Dick his phone. "I'm going." he left Dick in the alley, making his way home.

Days past and Jason continued to live through the pain, trash bags full of petals. Fits of coughs went from every other day, to every day, to every hour. Jason stared at the picture frame in his hands, it was (Y/n)'s graduation. He covered his mouth as petals overflowed from his hands, falling beside him. "If (Y/n) knew about this, she'd tell me to get the surgery, without even knowing who my feelings are for.." Jason smiled.

"If they doesn't love you back after everything, they doesn't deserve you!" is what she always said when watching romance movies or books. Even when the relationship is questionable, she'd always say that. 

Jason stared at his phone, wanting to hear her voice.. for the last time. He dialed the number he remembered so well, not expecting an answer, only a voice mail. "Hello?" he heard and froze.

"Hello? Umm.. is this perhaps the wrong number?" she asked.

"Who is it?" he heard the voice of her husband.

"I think it's just a prank call." She said, her voice fading away from the phone, and then getting hung up. Jason listened to the long dial tone, tears gathering in his eyes. 

"I love you." he said and hung up covering his mouth as another wave of coughs came, and this time with petals came blood. Jason picked up the phone again, this time calling Dick, asking for the surgery appointment.

~~~

Jason lay on his hospital bed after his procedure. "How you feel?" He turned to see Dick, Tim, Damian, Bruce and Alfred.

".. crap. How long was I out?" he asked.

"Couple of days." Bruce answered.

"We got this in the mail." Dick handed him a small box.

Jason recognized it from his memories, it was a time capsule him and (Y/n) buried when Bruce adopted him. It was just filled with our wishes for the future us. Jason opened the box and it was an envelope, and two folded letters clipped to it. On one of the letters, he recognized his own childish writing. He opened the letter to see his childish wish of, "I want to be her hero!" He then looked at the envelope, seeing it was addressed to Bruce. Jason looked at Bruce, who simply allowed him to read it.

"Hi, you probably don't know me Mr. Wayne, but I grew up with Jason when we were younger. My name is (Y/n) and this letter is to thank you for taking care of Jason when he lost his parents. I heard about what happened to him, and I'm sorry for your loss. This time capsule is one the two of us buried together, but it didn't feel right to open it without him. If I may ask.. can you bury this with him? Thank you, sincerely (Y/n) (L/n)."

Jason held the other letter in his hands and opened it, seeing (Y/n) messy handwriting, "I hope we are happy and healthy! and lots of candy..." was all it said. Jason just smiled, knowing it was just in her character to write something  like this.

"Can I keep this?" Jason asked.

"It's for you anyway." Bruce said, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you Bruce.." Jason said as everyone left to give him some space.
