Author's note : I have decide to write this fic in a "strange" way (like a type of poem). It's composed by five chapters which have only four sentences each. And the story doesn't follow the real one (or I think it doesn't). I'm French so, sorry if I made mistakes and please, don't hesitate to tell me what are they that I can correct them. Thank you and enjoy. And a big thank to my English teacher who corrected it.
He learned
Chapter 1 : He learned sadness
He had a father, a mother and a sister.
He considered his mother as his real and only family though.
When she was taken away from him and killed, he cried all the tears he would ever cry in his whole life.
This is how he learned the meaning of the word ' sadness '.

Chapter 2 : He learned hate
After learning ' sadness ', he stopped showing his emotions, understanding that it was a big weakness from him.
Some people even said that his heart had become as cold as ice and as emotionless as stone.
He knew his father had ordered to kill his mother and he grew up hating him ; he didn't show it, though.
By then, the only words that had fuelled his existence were ' hate ' and ' revenge '.

Chapter 3 : He learned fatality
He had been banished from his native nation but he swore he would come back one day.
He had an aim and he knew that once he would have reached it, he would be able to fight and defeat his father.
But things didn't always happen like he was expecting.
He met them - especially her - many times, and finally, he joined their gang in their journey ; and this is how he learned the word ' fatality '.

Chapter 4 : He learned her stubborness
Every time he met her, he discovered a new strength in her personality and unconsciously, he started to change.
The first thing he noticed about her was her loyalty to her friends and family, whatever it cost her.
The second thing he noticed was her kindness to everyone and her stubborness.
He had always wondered why she was so stubborn when it was about helping him, that she would never let him go without doing anything for him beforehand.

Chapter 5 : He learned love
He noticed how strange was destiny and how easily it could be changed at any time.
First, he hated her and she wasn't important for him.
Then, she became his dearest friend : the only one who really understood him through his mask and gave him chances.
And finally, he knew he was returning her feelings back when she confessed them, learning the meaning of the most beautiful word he had ever heard in his life, called ' love '.
