"43" (Kenma x reader)

8

It was the day after surgery. Kenma had been brought back into your shared room for recovery.

You guys ate the hospitals gross breakfast. "I seriously can't comprehend how the food keeps getting worse" Kenma said sitting up as he ate. "At this point I just swallow without thinking" you said. You finished eating. "Okay so sno vmbggh" you start slurring your speech. Your eyes rolled back and you started seizing. Kenma pressed the call button. "SHES SEIZING HELP" he screamed. The nurses came in.

43 seconds.

43 seconds was how long you had seized.

43 seconds Kenma watched you seize.

You hated it when you came back to consciousness. Having to see the worried and scared look on his face. Your doctor gave you a neurological exam. "So it seems to be just another seizure but I want to take you for some scans to be sure okay?" He said.

Kenma was in a wheelchair sitting beside your bed, holding your hand. He squeezed your hand. "Alright" you said. "A nurse will take you up in about 5 minutes" "ok thank you" you say.

"Do you know when your going to get discharged?" You asked Kenma. "No not yet but it shouldn't be to much longer, maybe a week or so?" Kenma replied. You nodded. "Hey don't worry, I'll come visit you everyday if I can!" He says. You smile. "You don't have to-" "but I want to!" He says. You laugh and nod.

The nurse came and took you up for your scan.

It spread. The fucking cancer spread.

The cancer had spread to the part of your brain that controlled speech. The doctor said that all they could do was continue to the chemo and radiation treatment to hopefully stop it from growing. You already knew what that meant. You'd eventually die. There was no way to stop it.

You were going to die and all you could think was

" I don't want to leave him"
