Sorry these are coming out so late :P But this is a long one! Also, I've been really busy with house renovations and writer's block lately so I haven't been writing too much for this book. But! Expect the rest of the requests soon! Thanks so much NdragonEyes for requesting! (also I like your profile picture)

You watch as the cyborg converse with the archaeologist, a grin on both of their faces. With your back against the white balusters, you let your head lean in between two of them. Blinded by the sun, you close your eyes and allow your mind to wander.

A sad smile traces your lips as haunting thoughts cross your mind. By each passing day, your state grows worse, and as much as Chopper tests and theorizes, he can't find a cure- nor a known state similar to yours. Countless hours were already spent researching, but the doctor learns nothing. Despite the constant failure, he refuses to give in.

"(Y/N)!" Chopper calls, his hooves tapping against the wooden boards as he rushes towards your resting figure.

Slowly, you open your eyes and look at the reindeer, squinting a little. With a raised eyebrow, you ask, "How's the best doctor in the world doing?"

Denying your compliment verbally, said doctor dances, obviously flattered with a giddy smile. "That doesn't make me happy! Not at all!" he giggles before shaking his head and returning his focus. "(Y/N), I think I've found something! Follow me!"

"Alright, let's go. Lead the way." You stand up and follow him into the doctor's office. Sitting down, you watch him grab an open book from the counter and set it in your lap.

"There are tons of cases in here that describe exactly what you've been having, but it has cures that we haven't tried yet! I bookmarked the possible pages," he informs.

You flip to a bookmarked page. "Hanahaki disease. A case where the patient suffers from unreciprocated love. This causes symptoms such as heartburn, major headaches, random nausea, and most noticeably they will eventually begin to cough up flowers.

"It will start with petals, then eventually bloom as time continues. Once the first petals have been coughed up, the patient usually has around 1-2 weeks to live before either choking to death on flowers or dying from the incurable toxins the type of flower releases.

"The known cures are these: the patient confesses and their love is returned, or surgery is performed to remove the infestive flowers. However, if the surgery this is done, the patient is said never to feel emotion again, due to the flowers containing all of their emotions. If the patient confesses and their love is not returned, the process will speed up and they will die in a matter of hours.

"Chopper, what is this?" You close the book and read the title for yourself. Tall Tale Sicknesses and Claimed Cures

"I know, (Y/N). But what if they're not tales? We've proved a lot of things aren't just stories! Remember Skypiea?"

With a grateful smile, you pat his head. "I know. Thank you very much, doc. I'll be sure to report any signs of flower petals."

Chopper nods curtly and insists you keep the book. "At least read them! You never know."

"All right, I will. I promise. Thanks as always for doing so great."

When you accepted the book, you did go through everything, and it seemed absurd. Yet, here you are flipping through the marked pages desperately, trying to swallow the painful rising feeling in your throat.

"Found it," you whisper. Dragging your finger down the page, you find the right section. "Cures: confesses and their love is returned, or surgery."
