mistakes. That had time.
His wounds healed quickly. The cut on the leg was barely visible at the end and so it would never be branded forever.
In his future he would often regret that, because after all, scars were a sign of courage and bravery and were also very attractive to girls, because they gave them a mysterious aura.
Many of the doctors wanted to know where the straight cut in Genma's palm was coming from. Because it certainly did not come from some splinters of wood.
But Genma was silent. He just strictly refused when someone tried to heal his palm.
"Otherwise it'll leave a scar!" Said one of the Medic-Nins in a tone as if she were speaking to a two-year-old. She tried again to look at his hand, but he just pressed it tighter to his body.A scar.
That's exactly what he wanted.
Minutes earlier, he'd learned that the burns on Raidou's face and neck would always be visible. They would never completely heal.
So he had minimal compensation. Or maybe it was just an attempt by his subconscious mind against oblivion.

Years later, Genma watched the scar on his hand silently. It was just a fine, barely visible line. It would probably have been overlooked, but Genma knew it existed and that was what counted.
Often he thought back to the evening on which they formed the blood brotherhood. Would it have turned out differently if he hadn't had the stupid and infinitely naive idea of ​​lighting a candle in a place that was almost entirely made of easily flammable and combustible material?
But this event had undoubtedly strengthened their friendship. And for that Raidou and Genma gladly accepted their more or less bad scars.
Raidou once said that it might be a good thing that he was the one who had been lying under the beam."What do you mean?", Genma had asked suspiciously and raised his eyebrows, as he always did when he was not really convinced of the educational value of the following answer.
"After all, I'm not vain! Look at yourself! Imagine running around with the scars on your face."
Yes, Genma understood the sign of the fence post. But that was bullshit! He wasn't vain. No way. He placed more value on his overall appearance than others, but he was not vain.
Well, maybe a little, he later admitted.
Still: he would make Raidou atone for the grin, Genma was sure of that, but all he replied was a sound like: "Tzz!"


I have never written anything longer than this. Was it really boring at the beginning? It wasn't planned that long. Sometimes I just get lost in descriptions of SO unimportant things. I just love details. * Details cuddly *.In the end, I actually wanted to put in a heartbreaking friendship scene first, but that was too stupid for me. (Wasn't in the mood to write kitsch!) I liked such a sober ending better.
I noticed that the FF merges from Raidou's point of view into Genma's point of view. Does that bother you? I didn't notice it until the very end, but now I'm not changing any more!
So, I would be really happy about clerks!
