Hanahaki au for Janaya

It'd been a rather...untrusting way to keep peace between their once warring nations, but it was effective. Each nation sent their best warriors to the apposing nation, they would protect the royal family with their lives, and end the royal family if they showed any sign of treachery. Their ancestors agreed that they would make peace or die, but on nothing else.

Janai grew up around humans in their grey ugly armor, some she loathed, some she liked. They were were like elves in that, but at least with elves she loathed, there wasn't always the knowledge that they were her jailers. She was born with a knife to her knife to her throat,

'The guards who protect your life will end it as well, never forget this.'

To be fair, the Katolian royals had the same lot in life. Each nation cheated a little, marrying their strong warriors whenever they could to avoid losing them. Janai's father had been one such warrior, and King Harrow's wife was one as well. That is how Janai ended up in her current predicament.

They'd sent the new princess's little sister to replace Janai's aging bodyguard, and it hadn't taken long for Janai to grow fond of her. Amaya was amazing, strong, fierce, clever, loyal, amusing...her positive traits would take all day for the Golden Knight to list. They became friends, spending more time together than necessary, learning from and leaning on each other; fighting together and depending on each other.

They had tea nearly every night, and tonight, Janai returned to her room and started coughing. It was no surprise to her when she felt something solid come up her throat. She could even guess what type it was;

a crimson orchid: love, respect, desire. A flower representing an elf who found a love with a harmonious mind and heart, their match. And now Janai had officially taken too long to admit it.

She spent all night researching how to stop it. Two options presented themselves, admit her feelings, or have the priests burn it out (along with the feelings themselves) at the sunforge. She found herself lacking the strength to do either.

Janai hid it, and hid it well. She would excuse herself to cough up the orchids, then burn them in her hand. Her daily tasks still done, her nightly tea still observed, though the coughing fit she had after was becoming more tiresome.

A book dropped on her desk, spilling the ink and ruining her work, "I'm deaf, not blind."

"What do you mean?" she got a pointed finger at the book....oh... Amaya had looked up Hanahaki Disease.

"Tell her." She ordered, crossing her arms.

"That's not an option." Even if she did, it wasn't like she would ever have her. She had been content to have Amaya in the way she had her, the disease wasn't being fair.

"You shouldn't live without love, Janai" Amaya signed with a soft look on her face, Janai could feel the flowers growing in her lungs.

"I can't."

"Then why don't you go to the priests?"

"I can't lose her."

"You don't even have her, Janai! Either grow the horns and tell her how you feel or cut her off!" Amaya glared, challenging her. Janai seethed, jumping to her feet so she could glare down at her.

"Don't tell me what to do, bodyguard!"

"Fine, pull rank. I guess I'll have make it easier for you." Janai's mind came up with a very clever response that never left her mouth, it was too occupied. Amaya pulled her down and kissed her. It was everything Janai could hope for...then she pulled away and had the worst coughing fit of her life. Amaya rubbed her back the whole time... which only served to grow more orchids.

She finally pulled away, Amaya wiped away the tears caused by the coughing, "How did you know it was you?"

"Deaf, not blind, Princess." she rolled her eyes, "Just tell me, Janai."

Strange, even knowing Amaya had feelings for her, it was still hard to choak out those three little words, "I love you."

"I love you, too." With Amaya's admission, Janai felt her lungs clear for the first time in weeks. She felt relief, but was not at all relived,

"It doesn't matter, we can't be together."

"No we can't." the human agreed, "Officially. Luckily as your bodyguard, no one will question if I watch over you tonight."

Janai blushed deeper than she ever had before, "...May the sun go down quickly."
