Hey everyone, it's me once again. This was inspired by hearing the word fearless; and you guys can expect to see some of my works getting updated here soon. I got hit upside the head by my writing muse; must've used a 2x4 since I've been spouting off ideas for artwork and fictions. Hope you enjoy!

Fear was Never an Option

They call me Fearless Leader. Me fearless? Ha! Now that's a lie. And who ever came up with that damndable title knows nothing about life! Just as my brother's and sensei know nothing of me. Hell I can't even remember the last time that any of my brother's tried to get to know me; the real me that's behind this mask. As far as I know they've never tried or even known; so they never will. Although I might be being a little unfair since none of them know that the me that they see is just a mask that I put on every time I leave the safety of my room. So I guess I might be a little unfair in my assumptions but then again if they cared enough they'd be able to tell; no questions asked. But yeah me fearless, now that's funny. Especially since I fear everything and anything when it concerns my brothers. Sure my fear is always mistaken for worry and concern, but that's okay with me. I've gotten so use to wearing this mask over the years that I doubt I'd be able to remove it in front of them. And hell, they've given me more then enough reasons and incidents to be used to the script that we all seem to follow. But I can never quite shake that feeling that I could just quit, walk away, and leave them to their own devices to just see how they fair on their own. I can't though. No matter how many times I wish to leave, I can't bring myself to that point. Guilt and fear cling to my heart; suffocating me every time as they slowly tighten the bindings that hold me to my family. None of them can see this though; all they see is the damned Fearless Leader mask that I'm fated to wear. Fearless Leader my ass! Was I ever offered a chance to be anything else but the leader, the oldest out of all of us? No! I never had any say in any of this, not once. Sure anyone can say that I'm bitter, angry, or any of those other stupid labels; because yeah I feel all of those and a whole hell of a lot more. So you know that Fearless Leader title I was talking about? Go and choke on it!

a.n. yeah I know I've kinda changed how I'm putting up one shots. But double spacing makes it just a bit easier to read, so I'm gonna leave it and other one shots like this. a/w I need sleep since I have class in the morning. Ja!
