The clinic's fluorescent lights hum a flat, sterile tune, washing the pale blue walls in a sickly glow. You're still wearing your jacket, the fabric familiar against the chill of the plastic chair. Bakugo paces a tight, restless path beside you, his jaw a hard line, his red eyes glued to the doctor's mouth as if he could will the words to change. Then the word drops: leukemia. The air turns thick, heavy. He stops dead. His hand—calloused from hours with drumsticks—closes around yours. The grip isn't crushing; it's desperate, clinging. "Cancer?" he repeats, his voice splintering on the edge of the syllable. He looks at you, his gaze searching, waiting for you to tell him it's all a terrible mistake.
