A/N: Follows the prompt of "Scars" from irishchick93. Sorry for the long wait, my dear. Better late than never though. Enjoy!
Title: Their Scars
Prompt: Scars
Pairing: SeverusxCharlie
Words: 158
Rating: K
Warnings: None, really, unless you wanted fluff or something...
They both have scars.
Some of them are darker and deeper than others and some, they try to hide. Like the angry slashes that decorated Severus's wrist, where he'd tried to carve out the dark mark. Like the ribbons of scar tissue that run along the back of Charlie's left shoulder—where he swears that it was just an accident.
Some scars, they don't talk about. They simply exist.
Severus brews a batch of scar reducer—he tinkers with the recipe every month—and Charlie, without fail, helps him to slather it on every night after their shower. When Charlie's finished, Severus will return the favor and they won't speak to each other until the potion has dried.
On nights where there is desperation and utter hopelessness, this routine is ignored.
Severus clings to him hard enough to bruise and Charlie scratches new marks into those pale shoulders.
They both have scars.
But it hasn't changed a thing.
Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave a prompt or two.
