A/N: OK, I just watched the episode "Blood Brothers", and it inspired this fanfic. I forgot the names of the soldiers, so bear with me, I changed the names. I hope you like it, and yes, this is a little H/M-ish, more friendship than romance. And now, here's the fic!

Cures

Hawkeye glanced into the microscope. Heaving a sigh, he dropped his head into his hands.

"Oh God," he said quietly.

Just then, BJ came into the lab, a smile on his face. It quickly faded when he saw his friend.

"Hawk, what's wrong?" He asked in concern.

Hawkeye turned to him, and motioned to the microscope. Confused, BJ slowly looked in. He stared for several seconds, before turning to Hawkeye.

"Is that...."

Hawkeye nodded, and said quietly, "It's leukemia."

"What's his blood count?"

Hawkeye sighed. "Over a hundred thousand."

"Whose blood is this?"

"Private Wilkins. He wanted to donate blood to a friend." He glanced at the microscope. "I guess that won't happen now."

"What are you going to do?"

Hawkeye said defeatedly, "I don't know. How do you tell a kid he's going to die?"

BJ sighed. "I don't know."

Hawkeye got up, and slowly made his way outside.

BJ asked curiously, "Where are you going."

Hawkeye glanced at him. "I don't even know the answer to that."

With that, he left.
