Bakugou could tell something was wrong when he walked into the dining room. The mood was somber and everyone looked shocked.

"What happened out here?"

"What do you mean?" Kirishima sits up, his eyes sharp and concerned. Sero looked gloomy and Mina's once pinkish face was pale.

"Sero didn't tell you?" Denki turns his gaze to Sero with a puzzled frown. "They deserve to know, Sero." Denki crosses his arms across his chest, biting his lip. His brows were furrowed as he searched for the right words to say. How were you going to tell people you were going to die?

"Well, i have stage three lung cancer." Bakugou narrows his eyes. You can cure that but why does he say it like its a death sentence.

"That's curable. There is a possibility you could die but if you get treated you can survive."

"I can't get treated. The cancer spread to my heart and it's too weak to operate." Bakugou's cocky expression fades quickly. If he tried to get treated with a weak heart, he could die even faster then if the cancer killed him.

"I don't like talking about it though. The doctors said i have 3 years to live if i'm careful." Sero rubs Denki's back comfortingly. Mina looked sad and Kirishima was stunned.

"That's terrible!" He says pulling Denki down into the couch for a hug. Mina joins them, along with Sero. Bakugou stays back, thinking about the medical books tucked away in his book bag. He hasn't studied for a while...

"Oy. Listen up. Sero brought you to the right place. I'm going to make sure you survive even if i do the damn treatment myself, understand?"

"Huh? But i just said..."

"I don't care about your heart. If that's the issue, we'll find you a donor."

"If we can't?" Kirishima asks, raising an eyebrow.

"There's plenty of bums in the nearby allyways we could borrow from." Bakugou says darkly, making Mina howl with laughter.

"Yess, lets commit murder my friends..." she jokes, pretend stabbing the air above her. Kirishima laughs a little, shaking his head. Sero snorts, sitting next to Denki.

"We forgot about blasty's cake." Mina says, her eyes sparkling. 

"I just sat down guys!"

"Oh get up grandma." Mina pushes the boys into the dining room, where the cake is quickly cut and served.

"Mmm, you outdid yourself baku." Kirishima says, gulping down his glass of milk. One thing Denki noticed was that the red head, Kirishima ate the most and yet he seemed like a health fanatic type guy. Mina talked big but ate in smaller portions and Bakugou took one big piece and ate it slowly. Sero and Denki both took medium pieces, eating them quickly.

"It's just a cake. You say that about everything i make, E."

"E?"

"Kirishima's first name is Eijiro, so we call him E." Mina chirps, reaching for the carton of milk in the center of the table. Kirishima blushes, picking up his and Bakugou's plates. The rest of the cake is put into a container and put in the fridge by Bakugo while Kirishima finishes up the dishes.

"How long have they known each other?"

"Oh, we've been friends since we were tiny brats." Mina snickers, pointing to a framed photo of the group as kids. They looked the same except Kirishima who had black hair in the picture.
