!! DISCONTINUED !! - I dont want to lose you... [Wilbur Soot x Jschlatt]

Part 6

"Mr Schlatt, can you hear me?"
"C'mon man, wake up!!"

Schlatt slowly opens his eyes, his vision blurry. There's a ring in his ears, plus the voices of people trying to get him to respond, and all the other equipment beeping.

"He's awake!"
"Schlatt, buddy... you're gonna be okay. Hang in there."

"Wh-?" Schlatt goes to ask Wilbur what's going on? before he gets cut off.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" asks a doctor walking alongside Schlatt's bed.
"uh four." he mumbles, not even looking at the doctor. He turn behind him and sees Wilbur being held back by a doctor. Schlatt turns to the doctor. "What am I doing here?"

The doctor starts explaining, but not long before Schlatt passes out again.

"If only we knew what was happening... Niki, I feel so bad." Wilbur says, dropping his head into his face.
"It's not your fault, Wilbur, I swear."

Schlatt opens his eyes, and looks around. To his left, his best friend bursting into tears.
"Wil..." Schlatt manages to mumble. Wilbur lifts his head from his hands to look at Schlatt.
"Schlatt...?" his voice breaks slightly, tears trickling down his face. Schlatt raises his hand slowly to wipe the tears away. Wilbur stares at the boy, smiling. His smile fades suddenly, as Schlatt begins coughing again. He jolts upwards and continues coughing. Wilbur puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you alright? Take it easy. The doctors say you have..." Wilbur's voice trails off. He looks at Niki then back to Schlatt, "...hanahaki disease..."

"Oh..." Schlatt looks confused, "I-I thought that wasn't real."
"Same here. The doctors checked everything and said that's what you have." Niki chimes in. She grabs her phone out of her back pocket and starts typing frantically.

"Hanahaki disease is an extremely rare disease where the victim of unrequited or one-sided love begins to vomit or cough up the petals and flowers of a flowering plant growing in their lungs, which will eventually grow large enough to render breathing impossible if left untreated. There is no precise time for how long this disease lasts but it may last from 2 weeks to 3 months, in rare cases up to 18 months, until the victim dies unless the feelings are returned or the plants are surgically removed." Niki reads out. Schlatt looks up at Niki, tears building up in his eyes.

"Cou-could they remove the plants?" Schlatt says shakily.
"We've been told that they won't be able to operate for a while, it's such a tricky procedure and even after the procedure, if completed correctly, there can be irreversible damage to the lungs. The only way you can come out of this room healthy is when the person you love displays true feelings back."

Schlatt glances at Wilbur, and sees he's holding onto Niki's hand.He looks back at Wilbur, eyes red and puffy from crying so much. Schlatt takes a deep breath in before he attempts to let out his feelings but turns into a stuttering mess, before crying.

"I'm so sorry, Schlatt. I don't know what we can do." Wilbur pleads. Schlatt curls up before he starts coughing again.

"Maybe we should give you a bit to rest. We'll uh, see you tomorrow, buddy." Wilbur frowns, before turning around and slowly walking out the room alongside Niki.

"Goodbye."
