Royai 100 Themes
Theme 17 – Scars
A/N: Yep, I'm WAY late, but by now, this should be routine. XD I've noticed a lot of Royai theme sets popping up lately. Actually, I think a bunch of them are worth checking out, as many of them are great. I've also noticed I'm pretty much the only person who makes these long, ramble-y author's notes. Am I annoying you guys by putting these here? Because if you would prefer, I can just shut up.
Disclaimer: Please. If I owned FMA, I would be a magical cow of awesomeness, and I am not, so I do not own the wonderful story. We clear?
Scars
They were both covered in scars. A stray bullet here, cut with a knife there. Many were battle scars – a result of being in the military was one often got decorated in the things, as if they were badges of honor.
Once, he asked her if she wished she could get rid of her scars, and her contrary answer surprised him.
"Why?" he asked. "Wouldn't you rather erase the blemishes on your skin?"
All she did was smile gently. "Scars help shape us into the people we are. They remind us of the mistakes that we have made, and they help us to remember the past. And without the past…" she trailed off, leaving him to continue.
"We cannot predict the future. Those who cannot remember history are doomed to repeat it." He grinned before he remembered one of her more… prominent scars. "What about… your back?"
"I've stopped seeing it as a scar. It's more than that." She took his hand in hers. "It's a bond that links us together, a permanent one that cannot be broken, and shows we shall never be separated."
A/N: Tah-dah! Actually… I'm not too sure about this one. Make me feel better by saying lots of nice things about it? XD And I know, Microsoft, I use fragments often. GET OVER YOURSELF. Anyway, reviews shall be treasured and taken with me to school tomorrow, where they shall be shown off in front of everyone that I know.
