A/N: Whoo. Another set of drabbles to add to the ever-growing horde. I'll add to this as the fancy suits me, aka when I have an idea, when I don't feel like writing on my other stuff, when I have writer's block on my other stuff, and when I'm bored. The genres and lengths for these will vary depending on my mood and inspiration, but they will all involve Scar somehow. Because Scar is simply t3h b357.


Drabble the First: Friend


Friends? I have no friends. I want no friends. Friends leave, friends die…it is better simply not to have them than to deal with the pain once they are gone. Because they all leave eventually, one way or the other. I gave up on having friends years ago. But now…

"Scar, look out!"

I try to kill him and his brother, and he saves my life.

"Scar-san, what's the matter?"

I treat him as a monster, and he asks me what is wrong, and listens, and means it.

"You're injured…"

I murder his people, and he cares about my welfare.

"Do you think I'm human?"

By all rights he should hate me, and yet he trusts my word over that of his own brother.

Why? And why did I feel the need to defend him against that grinning monster of a killer? Why do I feel guilt about my goal of killing his brother, and why did that guilt ease when it seemed that they hated each other? And why…why has he become human in my eyes? Is it that…could I truly have…a friend?


A/N: Awwww...isn't it sweet? Their little friendship is so very cute, ne? Anyway, please review!
