Lol, I have to say that these reviews were by far the most entertaining. I say that simply because both of them started witht he exact words, "Yay, updatey goodness". So thanks, I needed a laugh, and that was just too funny. Anyway, here's this chapter, enjoy!

CeTe: I couldn't resist writing that part with Jeremy and Kanone. Could you just imagine that? Heh, and finally we'll get to find out what's wrong with Eyes. Thanks for reviewing!

alpha2nd: Yeah, they're all like one big slightly disfunctional family. I used to love hotdogs, but then aqua teen hunger force turned me off of them (if you don't know what I'm talking about, then you don't want to know). Now the only hotdogs I'll eat are from the movie theater because they're so good! You're welcome for the update, thanks for reviewing!

In Eyes' opinion, it was way too earlty when Kanone woke him up. He hadn't been able to get back to sleep until late, and 7 in the morning was way too early to be waking up. Eyes then smirked at how lazy he had gotten, and also regretted it a bit. It felt good to be able to sleep in, though, and get up whenever he wanted. He also felt like he was wasting the day whenever he got up too late, though. Kanone didn't seem to notice the thoughts flowing through Eyes' head, and kept trying to wake him up, "Eyes? If you don't get up, you'll have to make your own breakfast."

"Then I'll make my own breakfast." Eyes replied, snuggling back into the covers.

Kanone half glared, half smirked, "Fine then, no more sex."

Eyes tilted his head to stare at Kanone now, "We've only had sex once, and I honestly doubt that you could hold out as long as I could."

This time, Kanone's expression was in full glare mode, he knew Eyes was right, "Then get up because you love me."

Eyes layed his head back down, "That's ridiculous, if anything I should stay in bed because I love you."

"What kind of logic is that?" Kanone asked.

"Well if I love you, then you obviously love me, and if you love me, then you'd want me to be happy. Right now, sleep is making me happy; therefore, I should sleep because I love you, and I love you very much."

Kanone laughed, "Do you realize how flawed that is?"

Eyes yawned, "Do you realize how tired I am?"

Kanone laughed again, "Don't expect to get breakfast in bed, and you need to be up in an hour anyway for your doctor's appointment."

"Alright." Eyes replied, and clsoed his tired but still shimmering blue orbs, surrendering once more to the great unconsciousness of sleep.

An hour later, Eyes was once again woken up by Kanone. Now doubly annoyed, and no better rested, Eyes glared at the noise making boy, "Eyes, you really do need to get up now."

Why had he thought that an extra hour of sleep would do him any good? An hour of sleep was just enough time to fall asleep and then wake back up, and yet Eyes had fallen for it. Now he grunted as he sat up, and Kanone grabbed his hand, pulling him out of bed, "What are you doing?"

Kanone grinned at him, "Getting you ready. If I left it up to you, we wouldn't leave until at least 9."

"That's not true." Eyes objected, "I am perfectly capable of getting myself ready."

Kanone considered this, "True, but wouldn't it be more fun if I helped you?"

The poor, naiive boy just frowned at Kanone, "How could that be more fun?"

Kanone grinned, and led Eyes into the bathroom, turning on the shower, "Let me show you." (A/N: Dirty, horny, kinky Kanone!)

About 20 minutes later, the two boys made their appearance downstairs, holding hands. Callia smiled at them as she approached the couple, "You two look nice, where are you going?"

Eyes hesitated, but Kanone just smirked, "Well, ma'am, I was going to take your boy here out on a date. I know this might be a little sudden, but I'll have him home by curfew!"

Callia laughed, "Really now, and where were you planning on taking my only son?"

Kanone chuckled, "Nowhere special." He replied, but was slowly losing his cool. Soon enough this conversation would turn serious, and they'd have to explain everything, which they really didn't have time for. They had about 10 minutes until Eyes' appointment, but Kanone knew that the doctor was always backed up, even this early in the morning.

Callia decided that Kanone was definiely hiding something, and wanted to know what, "Alright, time to come clean. Where are you two sneaking off to?"

Kanone sighed, and looked to Eyes, then back to Callia, "We've really got to go, if you would like, you can come with us."

The woman nodded, "Alright, but where are we going?"

"The doctor's." Kanone replied, opening the door, "Come on, I'll explain on the way."

Once in the carriage, Callia turned to her son and Kanone, "Alright, so what's going on? Is someone sick?"

Kanone nodded, "Eyes is." Callia's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to start asking questions, but Kanone continued, "We're not sure what's wrong with him, but it's getting pretty serious, and I don't want to just ignore it and hope it will go away giving that he said it's been going on for a few years."

"And how long have you known about this?" She asked Kanone.

"I only found out about it yesterday, this is the first opening they had."

Callia nodded, a bit relieved that Kanone hadn't been ignoring it until it got too bad to do so, and turned to Eyes, "So, what's wrong with you?" She asked, hating how that sounded.

Fortunately, Eyes either didn't notice, or knew what she meant, "I'm not sure what it is. I've been coughing up blood, and getting short of breath almost regularly now."

This alarmed Callia, "And this has been going on for years?" Eyes nodded, "Why haven't you told anyone?"

"Kanone was the first person I could have told, Chase wouldn't have cared. I just...I didn't want to worry anyone with it, just in case it was nothing."

Kanone saw Eyes look away from both of them as he said this, and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, "It's alright, Eyes, we're not mad at you. Just worried is all, I would hate to think that I could be so ignorant of you being so obviously sick. But don't worry, we'll fix this, and get our lives back to normal before you know it." Kanone knew he could be potentially lying to Eyes, and that the boy could be so sick that he couldn't be helped. However, Kanone knew Eyes didn't need to hear that kind of thing, and decided comforting him came above all else.

The three entered the doctor's office at 8:35, and Kanone went to let the receptionist know that they were here, "Dr. Kist will be with you in a moment."

Kanone thanked her and went to sit down next to Eyes, grabbing his hand, "Don't worry, your mother and I will be right by your side the entire time." He whispered loud enough for only Eyes and Callia to hear.

Callia nodded her agreement, and Eyes rested his head on Kanone's shoulder, "Thank you." He whispered back.

A few minutes later, a woman with short, blonde hair entered the waiting room, "Eyes?" She asked, scanning the room. Said boy stood, Kanone and Callia following suit. As they reached her, she smiled down at the silver haired boy, "You must be Eyes." Said boy nodded, "Alright, why don't you follow me?" She then turned her attention to Kanone and Callia, "You two will have to wait here while we run some tests."

Kanone was about to object, but Callia beat him to it, "I'm his mother, I should be allowed to come with him."

Dr. Kist thought this over, "Alright, I suppose it would be okay for you to come along." She turned to Kanone, "What is your relationship to Eyes?"

Kanone cursed his inability to lie, "I'm his partner." He responded. If he could allow himself to lie just a bit, then he could have told her that he was Eyes' brother, but that just couldn't happen. Above all, Kanone didn't want Eyes thinking he was a hypocrite, which would be exactly what he would have been if he had told her that tiny lie.

Dr. Kist blushed a little, "I see...well, I suppose this affects you as well. Come on, then, follow me." Eyes smiled just the tiniest bit, only enough for Kanone and Callia to see. Kanone smiled back, and squeezed his hand, following the doctor down some random hallway.

Five hours and about 247 tests later, Eyes finally in an actual room where several x-rays that had been taken were set up. Kanone was looking at them with interest, actually knowing a bit about what they were showing. Callia just stared at them worriedly, deciding that all the little light blotches weren't a good thing. After about 15 more minutes of waiting, Dr. Kist finally entered the room, "Sorry about the wait." She apologized quickly, and it gave Kanone a bad feeling. He had been to the hospital enough to know that if there was no bad news, they just told you right away. The blonde woman in front of him, however, was hesitating.

Kanone was getting impatient, "Well?" He asked, staring at her.

Finally, she sighed, "I'm afraid I have some bad news." Kanone froze at hearing this, and felt Eyes do the same, and squeeze his hand. He couldn't see Calia, but he could imagine the look on her face, something akin to pure dread. Dr. Kist continued, "Eyes' symptoms are...odd for the disease he has, but giving the conditions that he had lived in, this is the best conclusion I can draw."

"Wait." Kanone interrupted her, "You're not even sure what it is?"

"I'm about 97 sure, but there are always excpetions." Kanone nodded, motioning for her to continue, "What Eyes has is called mesothelioma. It's a rare type of cancer that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos, though it has been known to appear in patients without any exposure. While mesothelioma is difficult to distinguish between some other conditions, the extensive tests we have done don't leave much room for arguement."

Kanone swallowed hard and nodded, "How serious is it?" He asked, wanting so desperately not to hear the answer.

"Eyes' case is quite unique from most others' that I've seen. There are two types of mesothelioma, pleural and peritoneal. Eyes is exhibitng the symptoms of pleural mesothelioma, except coughing up blood. That, oddly enough, is not a symptom of this disease at all. That type of thing is usually given to patients that are diagnosed with lung cancer, but such a thing at his age is practically unheard of."

"But...he'll be alright, right?" Callia asked, grabbing her son's other hand.

"There are treatment options available. A temporary option is called thoracentesis, which uses a needle or a thin tube to drain fluid that has built up in the chest or abdomen. A more permanent route would be surgery. There we could remove whatever the cancer had infected, and hopefully stop it. I would recomend this option, and as soon as possible."

"How soon can you do it?" Kanone asked.

"You can bring him back in tomorrow morning, and we can get started. Most likely, though, we will have to go through a series of surgeries to make sure we have gotten it all."

Kanone nodded, "Whatever he needs."

Dr. Kist looked to Callia and then back to Kanone, "Who exactly will be paying for his surgeries?"

"That'll be me." Kanone replied, "Eyes and his mother live with me." He explained.

"I see." Dr. Kist smiled at Eyes, "You've got a wonderful boyfriend."

Hearing someone else call Kanone his boyfriend, made Eyes love him that much more for some reason. He looked to Kanone, and leaned into him, "I know." He replied, still holding onto both his mother's and Kanone's hands.

The doctor turned her attention back to Kanone, "Would you perfer to get the financial aspects out of the way now, or take care of it tomorrow?"

Kanone looked down to Eyes, "I think I'm going to get him home, this is kind of early for him." Eyes made a grutning sound that could have been interpreted as an objection to Kanone's statement, but said nothing else. Callia smiled at her son, and Kanone laughed, "Come on, Eyes, let's go back to bed." Eyes attempted to glare, but ended up smiling at Kanone as the three headed home.

That took a lot longer than I expected. Good thing I didn't have to leave when I thought I would! Anyway, try not to pick at every little detail of this disease and it's symptoms and such, because I'm not a professional. I'm sure that there are other diseases I could have given him that would have fit much better, but...this is what he got. Now that I'm hungry and tired, I'm going to go do homework! Ugh...that sucks. Oh well, reivew!
