Yuuri felt the lead in his chest expanding, felt it creeping along his lungs. He gasped and hunched over the oak desk, hoping that his sister wouldn’t care for the papers he shoved to the floor. A few minutes of solace in her office wasn’t enough to curb the dread crawling through his body. The curse had already begun.
Three quick knocks rapped on the office double doors. He had no more time.
“O-one more minute,” he croaked out, beginning to dry-heave as the panic rang in his ears. Three more knocks sounded in reply, impatient.
Yuuri glared incredulously in front of him as sweat dripped down his temple, “Just hold on!”
The doors burst wide open at his shout and knocked him straight back into his sister’s chair. Thick green vines flourished into the room, latching on to various nooks and lamps, bookshelves and corner tables. Blue hyacinths, blue lilies, blue peonies, and blue tulips blossomed almost immediately, scenting the office in a floral embrace.
Once he smelled the perfume, it cleared Yuuri’s mind enough to wipe the tears from his eyes. He looked at where the vines were thickest, near the entrance. What he saw caused his mouth to drop open.
“Yuuri!” exclaimed the god of spring, his long silver hair blowing in wind that was not coming from anywhere inside the office. He held out a hand and smiled brightly, “Starting today, I’ll be your teacher! For six months, I will live in the Underworld and teach you about life and growth and get you out of your curse!”
“What?” And then Yuuri sneezed.
