"Nervous?" questioned Akaashi.

Bokuto right next to him, biting his nails in worry. "I just hope for good news".

Today's the day where he'll receive either good or bad news. Just there, Dr. Tetsurō walked in with a clipboard in his hand and a great, white envelope.

"Akaashi. May I ask you to leave this room please."

He nodded. Glancing at Bokuto one last time with a kind smile before he walked out, gently closing the door behind him.

"Well Bokuto, how have you been?"

"I feel good doc. How are my results?"

"Well, I'm afraid you're not getting any better. The tumour started increasing and started to spread in your brain quickly. If your situation worsens you may be experiencing nausea and vomiting, seizures, changes in personality, and memory loss."

Bokuto looked plainly at the wall. All this time he has been holding out to one bit of hope that he'' eventually get better, but today shattered that tiny bit of hope. It was as if he was walking on a bridge, but right at the final moment, he fell.

"I know this is a bit of a shock, but we'll keep trying. Please don't lose hope yet."

"Too late doc."

He tried to smile. He tried to stay strong, he just couldn't. He had to accept that cancer is now part of his life and is slowly overtaking him. Tears streamed down his face. There was so much more he wanted to do. So many volleyball games he wanted to play. Make a family. Drop his kids off to school. And all these things on his list started fading away the moment he fainted, on aisle 4.
