Everything expires : food expires at some time , your phone contract takes a year , everything has a expiration date sooner or later. Wade Wilson didn't expect his to be so soon . Cancer . Cancer had always been in Wade Wilson's life . From a young age he had been diagnosed with lung cancer , and at fourteen it had progressed to liver cancer as well . Now Wade Wilson has cancer in his liver, lungs , prostate , and brain . He is dying , at a mere 21 years of age .

Wade never asked to be born to a poor family , or to have a abusive father . He didn't ask for his mom to die when he was 14 and to work at a gas station full time to support his fathers drinking habits. Apparently life doesn't take any special requests.

" Your cancer has progressed and I am afraid at this point chemo therapy is only going to speed the process up." Wade ran his fingers across the little bit of blonde hair he had left dragging strands of the blonde locks out as he removed his hand.

" I'm going to die . " Wade Wilson wasn't bothered by death itself , in fact death would be a gift compared to the torturous life he was living - constantly in and out of the hospital , meeting with doctors who only pitied him and the bad hand he drew in the game of life. " I'm going to die . When ? " There was no sorrow in wades voice , there was no regret or resentment . It was as if he was asking when the cubs were playing not asking when they were going to win the world series.

" I can't say ." The Doctor , who Wade refereed to as the Grim Reaper was expressionless . While as a Doctor he was never supposed to get close to his patents ; as human he did . The old gentleman refused to look Wade in the eyes. It wouldn't be that long and Wade was aware of that sole fact.

" I should get going then . I am scheduled to sky dive later this afternoon. " Wade joked without a care in the world. He was dying , his humor was not . The old Doctor cracked a smile . " Yes, you do that Wade . "

" You know Grim I know a guy looking for someone just like you to do a nude photo shoot . Maybe you should give him a ring . " The flabbergasted doctor coughed into his arm , blushing a daring shade of red. " Yes . Yes , will do Wade. " Mission accomplished - no more pity , no more lies .

Wade left the little hospital in a hurry after that . One foot in front of the other and soon he was out on the lawn of the medical facility kicking up the newly planted daisies . " FUCK , Fuck , fuck -"

" What did my daisies do to you . " Wade turned around , he had not noticed the gardener at first but was vaguely aware he was not the only one outside. Wade took a seat on the only concrete bench that was not yet broken in half . " Look man I will pay you for every daisy I trampled on . " Yeah trampled - Definitely not murdered , or mutilated. Upon closer attention Wade realized he knew the other man. " You work at In and Out Burger . " It was a statement , but the younger man seemed to understand . " Worked ,but yeah I did. "

Wade tapped his foot rapidly . " Sorry man , I didn't know . " With the awkward tension now hanging in the air wade took it as his signal to leave . " I gotta dash. Duty calls and whatever. " Wade jogged briskly to his car out of breath before he got there . The gardener had said something but Wade was gone before he could hear .

Its nine and the night is approaching fast. Ending his Sunday in a wonderful way Wade approached his neighborhood ' Tasty Taco ' prepared to work a double shift. His eyelids are fluttering already but he cant afford to not show up for work . His job is to prepare the taco boxes and according to his asshole boss " Staying as far away from customers as possible . " Cancer is not contagious , but if it was Wade would be sure to infect his boss.

In the back their are two fryer boys , and one tween that mans the quesadilla press. Including wade , who's main job is to make the box's the tacos go in there are only four people working diligently at all times. In the front there is a girl named Cat who chats with her friends all day on the phone and does a terrible job taking orders . More than once Wade has gotten in trouble for her actions .

"- two chicken and cheese quesadillas and a large drink to go please. " The line was short tonight , costumers came in every so often but never often enough for tasty taco to be considered busy .

Hours went by and wade was bored out of his mind . He had caught himself staring in space and without any pre made box's made when a family of two came in. Rushing to get those done wade practically threw himself up to the front counter . " Sorry things are a little busy tonight . " By that he meant we haven't had too many costumers so I was falling asleep in the back . Wade scratched the back of his neck and began to return to the back .

" Wait your the man who trampled over my daises. " Wade registered that this green thumb seemed to have hauntingly good memory despite the fact that the said event took place only mere hours ago. " Aunt May , this is the crazy loon who trampled over the daisies I planted for community service . " The elderly woman gave wade a burning look he could feel on the back of his head .

Wade turned back for a moment and took in this strange man . He was tall but in no way could tower over wade , his eyes had been perfectly shaped like almonds and his body seemed very chiseled under the khaki pqnts and dress shirt he was wearing . This guy could be his manager if he wanted to. "You must have me mistaken for somebody else . I've been here all day . " Wade smirked then added . " But if you need some help finding this guy , I'd be down for that . "

The garden man had taking on a deep shade of blush . " Must have been a mix up . " Oh how it is easy to fool the innocent .

Time flies when your dying , days turn into weeks and weeks quickly turn into months. One thing that seemed constant was the presence of green thumb. Wades job at ' Stop & Go ' was relatively new - he wasn't used to the costumers and was unsure of who was a regular and who was just stopping by . It shouldn't of been a surprise that Green Thumb was a regular.

" That will be 6.87$" Wade groaned he had a hour til shift change , and still had to take stock . Counting the change in the palm of his hand Wade realized that the elderly lady gave him three dollars to much . As Wade was going to tell the woman about her counting mishaps the bell rung signaling the entrance of another customer . " Did you pump the gas ? "

" Aunt May the gas has defiantly been pumped . " There was no mistaking it , that was Green Thumb all right . He was sweaty and not in his usual pristine clothing . Instead the blue eyed man was wearing sweatpants and a white tee shirt with grease smears. It was clear he had been out doing lawn work . Before Wade could hand the elderly lady - May , her change both she and Green Thumb had disappeared . May and Green thumb , wade thought . Learning the others name seemed like a necessary now.

" Who in the flying fuck was that ? " Sander exclaimed as he burst out of the stock room and into wades way. Sander gave wade a light punch in the arm - well light by his standards at least - and waited for a response. " You were looking at him so intensely I wasn't sure if the two of you were going to make out or kill each other. "

" Well you know what they say ? " Sander shrugged . " Love and hate are really the same emotion . " At that response Sander began his fake gagging . " Wade , that is gross as fuck . He's like still in high school . It was wade's turn to shrug .

" Relax , I'm only fucking with you . I don't even know him . Well except for the fact he seems keen on coming to my workplace . " Wade began stocking the shelves . His hands and feet were aching . Medicine having worn off , and him being unable to pay for any more this meant that the pain would only get more intense over the next few days.' Suck it up now , this is the easy part ' Wade thought to himself .

It wasn't long after the 'visit ' from green thumb that he was ready to get off work . Three hours later and the shelves had been stocked . It was a good job , if wade could be one to critique . In the pitch black Wade began a long walk home; getting even five hours of sleep would be a miracle .

Eyes , so many glaring eyes . Mouths , so many unkind words . Hands , ' oh what is a caring touch ' flinching and withdrawn - that's how people are . That's how people have always been .

Thoughts of a fragile boy and a unloved man , that's all this is . People always so cautious around him , afraid to break someone who was already broken .

' Why ? Oh why must it be me ? " better you than anyone else . Its always better you .

Your mother died because of you , your father drinks because he cant stand seeing the face of a monster - of his son . Cancer , well cancer because everybody needs a swift kick in the gut sometimes . A fatal kick .

And the blue eyed boy , what about him ?
