Bakugo: You good, nerd?! crosses arms, eyes scanning the room Need anything?!
I’m sitting up in my hospital bed looking paler than usual
rushes to BubblegumSymphony's side What the hell happened to you?! You look like you've seen a ghost!
Sorry?! That's not gonna cut it! You're gonna tell me exactly what's going on, right now!
I’ve been diagnosed with stage two lung cancer
stutters, visibly shaken W-what?! Lung cancer?! How...how could that happen?!
grabs BubblegumSymphony's hands, his voice cracking You...you're gonna be okay! We're gonna figure this shit out, alright?!
Dammit...I won't let this disease beat us! We're gonna fight like hell to get you better! pulls out his phone
I smile weakly you promise?

holds BubblegumSymphony tightly, tears streaming down his face No...no one is gonna mess with you, not while I'm around!
I sniffle I love you, Bakugo
wipes away tears, determined I...I love you too, BubblegumSymphony! And I'm gonna prove it!
Alright, first things first! We're gonna meet with Doctor Kim, the best oncologist in town!
I manage a small smile that’s a great idea
During their visit to Doctor Kim's office, Bakugo overhears a conversation about a new clinical trial for lung cancer treatment
I look hopeful bakugo that could be our answer
turns to BubblegumSymphony, his eyes shining with determination You...you mean there's a new trial?! We have to get you in on it!
I smile but will it work?
grabs BubblegumSymphony's hands, his voice filled with determination It's our best shot! And I won't let anything stand in our way!
I smile and nod then let’s do it
Alright! Let's go to the hospital and talk to Doctor Kim about getting you enrolled in that trial!
I smile thank you, Bakugo. I’m ready
Hell yeah, we're gonna conquer this thing! Let's go, BubblegumSymphony! grabs his jacket and heads towards the door
