Recap:

<Keralis>No!! Bubbles!! Hang in there!...

The healing potions are having no effect on him...

Hey, Bdubs. It's Doc....

-----------------------------------------------------
The room was filled with silence. Everyone avoided saying anything, other than the words Doc spoke to Bdubs.

"Please Bdubs, wake up. Please," Doc is begging with all his heart that Bdubs wakes up. Tears begin to stream down Doc's face as Bdubs doesn't respond.

"Bdubs, please wake up. I need you." Doc said as he was shaking, scared to the bone, realising that his best friend and crush may never see the light of day again.

"I can't live without you," tears stream down Doc's face, like a waterfall, but he pushes on.

"I need you. You are my everything to me. You're my world. You are always the one that sticks by my side, no matter what. When everyone else gives up on me, you're there to comfort me, to cheer me on. I care about you the most, Bdubs. I love you."

The Hermits are wide eyed, their eyes nearly as big as Keralis' who had somehow managed to grow twice their regular size. Everyone except Stress, of course, who had figured it out earlier. Everyone else never would have thought that Docm77, a cunning and talented redstone engineer would fall in love with the small, hilarious and unpredictable BdoubleO100.

As the Hermits are awestruck, Doc continues talking to Bdubs, who is still unresponsive.

"Please wake up. I know this sounds selfish, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Bdubs," Doc can barely breathe as he was crying so much. His tears hit Bdubs' torn and tattered blue shirt as Doc hugs him. Possibly for the last time. He intertwines Bdubs' hand in his. Carefully touching his hand as Keralis sends daggers across the room, that Doc doesn't notice.

"I love you Bdubs, and no one can change that," Doc whispers into Bdubs' ear as he tries to compose himself as Stress walks over to sit with iskall. His attempts fail as he breaks into tears again.

Doc repositions himself on Bdubs' chest. He lets his tears soak into the boy's shirt. Doc doesn't care that Stress is standing beside him. He had just noticed that the other Hermits were there too, sitting on the stairs by the doors.
Doc doesn't care that everyone can see him in a vulnerable state. He can only see Bdubs. He is all that matters at this point in time.

Stress walks over to Doc and begins rubbing his back in an attempt to sooth the heartbroken Doc. When this fails, Stress returns to her seat next to iskall.

Doc felt an arm wrap around his body, he first thought it was Stress', thinking she may have returned. But when he lifted his head off Bdubs' chest, he was amazed to see it was Bdubs' arm around him, soothing, calming him. This surprised everyone in the room, but a good surprise. A very good surprise

Hope your enjoying Bestowed!
I couldn't kill Bdubs off, he's precious. Hehe
