"W47CH 17, L053R!" Mituna hissed. Y/n stumbled in the hallway, trying to evade the troll's words. "Tun4, wh4t'd 1 s3y 4b0ut b31ng rud3 t0 p30pl3?" Latula scolds the yellow-blood. Mituna blushed and muttered a quiet apology. "It's fine, Tuna!" Y/n said happily. The three have been best friends since wrigglers, and were quite tight as a group. "You ready for PE?" Y/n said, looping her arm around Latula and Mituna's shoulders. "We're supposed to do dodge ball." "Y37H!" Mituna shouted and the two girls chuckled at the silly boy's antics. Suddenly, Y/n felt a familiar scratching at her throat. "N/n, y0u 0k4y, g1rly?" Latula gave a concerned look for her friend. "I'm fine, Tula. I've got to go the bathroom, tell Mr Willow that I'll be right ther!" The poor girl rushed off, Latula ignoring it, and Mituna looking worried. "Y/N?" He said uncertainly. "L3t's g3t t0 cl4ss, Tun4!" Latula whined, pulling the boy with her. He reluctantly looked away and followed the teal-blood to the gym. 

"Fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck fuck!" The girl groaned. On the sink of the public bathroom was blood and yellow rose petals. She obviously knew what the stupid disease was called, but didn't understand why she had to get it. She knew he loved her like a sister, and she felt that should be enough. But her heart and the virus thought that was not true. Y/n coughed once more and about ten petals flew onto the shitty mirrors. Blood fell back into the sink and Y/n cringed. She cleaned up the blood and threw away the petals. Once done, she took a drink of water to keep down the petals. "Y/n, c0m3 0n!" Latula yelled. The troll came in to see the girl smiling and chuckling. "Sorry it took so long. Willow sent you here?" Latula nodded and took the girl by the arm and they walked towards the class together.

Mituna was by himself, which he hated. He preferred being at he arm of the two girls, who really did enjoy his company. He mumbled a few curses before hearing the two girls come around the corner. "F1N4LLY, N/N 4ND 7UL4." He kissed them both on the cheek in a friendly way and got them both rolling their eyes. If his eyes hadn't been covered by his beloved helmet, he would have seen the human girl blushing. "R34DY 70 G37 Y0UR 455357H K1CK3D?" He taunted, placing an arm around Latula. Y/n's smile tightened but she nodded happily. They raced each other to the foam balls and grinned at each other mischievously. Let the fun commence!

"Hello?" Y/n was on the phone, only for Latula to hear. "Yes. I was wondering if I may schedule a surgery?" Latula almost gasped, but covered her mouth in the nick of time. "Yes. It is that. My name is Y/n L/n and my information is..." Latula raced away from where she was eavesdropping and went to find her yellow-blooded friend. 

"Y/N?" "Yeah, Tuna? What's up, you need help with your homework or something?" Y/n was in the library, a quick free period before going to science. "U-UM, 1 W457H W0ND3R1NG 1F Y0U 4ND 7UL4 W0ULD C0M3 0V3R TW0D4Y." "Sorry bumble-bee, I have to go to practice today." The girl lied. "WH47 PR4C71C3?" "Practice of.. hey, who's that over there, do I see Kurloz?" The girl got away quickly before the yellow-blood could look back over. He had a heartbroken face and a sad twinkle in his eye. What is happening to his beast friend? Is she sick? Latula told him that Y/n was getting surgery for something, but neither of them knew.

"H3y, my r4d1c4l g1rl, you w4nn4 g0 m3ss w1th Tun4 t0n1ght?" "Sorry, Tula. I have to go do something." "0h, y0u m3an th3 surg3ry?" Y/n froze in her packing of the backpack. "D0n't th1nk 1 d1dn't kn0w." "I know, I know. Just promise not to tell Tuna?" "C4n't sw34r 1t." Y/n sighs and coughs up a flower petal, some blood dripping down her chin. "H4n4h4k1," Latula says in a hushed voice. "Wh0?" "It's Mituna. I have to get rid of it by the end of the week or I die." Latula stares at the girl and Y/n stares back. "I'd rather lose my love for him, since I know he doesn't love me back, instead of leaving you two with my dead body." Latula nods and wraps the girl in a hug. 

"L47UL4, 1 W4N7 TW0 G0 533 H3R!" Mituna yanked the teal-blood towards the hospital. Of course, Latula told Mituna and he was horrified to find out about the disease. He didn't know it was him, though. Latula would never tell that to him. The door automatically opened and they rushed to the front desk. Before they could say a word, they heard Y/n's voice. "Guys?" "Y/N!" They rushed at her, in her frail state and hospital gown trailing behind her. "W3 W3R3 W0RR1ED!" Mituna laughed and hugged the girl tight. "Nice to hear that. I have to go do the surgery, you two, but wait in room 1111. I'll be there in an hour." The pair nodded. Latula went to find the room, but Mituna insisted in staying with the human girl. "WH0 157H 17?" "No one. " "Y/N." "No one, okay?" The girl stopped and crossed her arms. "No one you should worry about. I'm not changing my mind." Mituna looked at her sadly. He hugged her close to him and she coughed, a deep hacking sound. She held her hand up to her mouth and pulled out a yellow rose petal. It was him, he realized. His shoulders sagged. She was doing this because she loved him, but he didn't love her. Not like that. "Hey, Tuna?" She asked suddenly. "Y357H?" "Could I do something before the procedure?" He nodded and Y/n pulled Mituna down by his shirt to kiss him lightly. Mituna's brain was going crazy, zig-zagging with thoughts. "I love you." She whispered, before walking into her designated room.

When she came out, she felt nothing for the yellow-blood except platonic feelings. 

A month later, Mituna started coughing up f/c petals.
