Original Request: http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/12046.html?thread=27038222#t27038222 This definitely got away from the original request, and I apologise, but I really thought it deserved a fill of some kind. The biggest difference is it's not an AU. Warnings: Self-harm and lots of it (for the length), no happy ending

It was one of the small blessings of his climate, he occasionally thought, that no-one would question a man for long sleeves and long trousers in all parts of the year. He could feel the fresh cuts in his skin, neatly bandaged so they would not bleed into his blouse or his jumper, never quite smarting unless he moved just right, but ever present. Eternal.

He took it reverentially with him into the bath, laid it on the counter to shrug off his jumper and stare for a good few minutes at his marred skin. It was appropriate, somehow, that he should be so.

His scars would be nearly all of his own doing. Instead, his chest and belly and back were a patchwork of lines and patches and curls, twisted, unnatural

Blood came down his body in thin rivulets, beading out of the cuts until it was too heavy to remain. It was good, dark blood, thick and red under the bright lights. He watched it for a time, watched it follow the contours of his arms and legs, watched it drip to the bottom of the dry bath and sit, splotches flattening and growing sticky until he could feel them as he peeled himself up from the floor of the bath

T-Thank god for the anonymity. Arthur's train of thoughts was entrancing to read, as were his actions. I almost passed over the fill because it said no happy ending, but I'm glad I didn't. Even if I'll need lots of comedy shows after this to cheer myself up.

I grit my teeth through half of this. Very vivid, and a perfect closing sentence.
