Shu
I started crying uncontrollably out in the waiting room. Daigo and Wakiya took me into the bathroom while they had Rantaro wait in case the doctor came out.

"Shu, you've gotta calm down dude."

"Valt's gonna be okay, you'll see."

Daigo and Wakiya assured me. I was breathing heavily as I tried to calm down. The guys had me sitting up against the wall. I heard a knock on the door.

The doctors finally let us see Valt, but after they told me what was wrong, I was afraid to face him without crying. We stood outside his room and the guys were waiting for me to go in.

"Shu, it's gonna be okay. Go in."

Wakiya demanded. I still hesitated and all of this was just upsetting my stomach. I put on Valt's hoodie so I didn't have to carry it anymore. I finally went in and the others followed. My boy was asleep and I was a bit glad. Poor Valty was laying on his side and was curled up asleep. I walked over to him and looked at how pale he still was as I pulled a chair close to the bed. I cupped his face and rubbed it with my thumb and kissed his forehead, accidentally waking him up.

"Shu..."

He mumbled.

"Hey Valty. Tummy feeling any better?"

"Barely..."

He said weakly as he turned over slightly, putting his hands over his stomach.

"I'm not feeling good either baby.."

I said to him.

"What? You're sick now too?"

"It's just anxiety. You know how anxious my stomach is..."

He carefully scooted over in the bed and patted next to him.

"Lay with me."

I laid down next to him as he said. This was kinda reminding me of the cruise we just returned from. I held his hand tightly as he laid his head on my chest. The doctor finally came in to tell Valt his results that I already knew. I put my hand over my stomach as I felt it turn again.

"Mr. Aoi. It looks like you have some tears in your stomach lining, but... We also found something else..."

"Shit... I think I'm gonna be sick..."

I thought to myself as the doc was about to tell Valt.

"I hate telling patients this, but we did find some cancer in your abdomen as well."

Cancer?! My eyes widened and I saw Shu get up and go into the bathroom quickly.

"Luckily we caught the cancer just in time. We can operate and remove it, but some has spread a bit already. It will take a couple months to get you a surgery date, but you should be fine during that time." 

The doc explained. Shu came back and I saw he was holding his stomach. He got back on the bed and laid his head on my shoulder. Finally the doctor left and we all started talking.

"Shu, you good?"

Daigo asked him.

"I got sick. I don't feel well."

We finally got home and Valt and I both felt awful. I laid down on the couch with Valty and turned on the TV. Valkyrie got up here with us and he laid his head on my boy's stomach again. I put my head in my hands, which got Valt worrying.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

He asked me as I sank into the couch.

"Upset stomach. I just don't feel good at all. I know you definitely don't feel good either."
