{{ENDEARMENT MEANS: a word or an act (as a caress) showing love or affection.}}

The training ground echoed with the sound of clashing swords as Genya and Sanemi engaged in a fierce battle. Their movements were precise, their strikes calculated, each brother pushing the other to their limits.

In the heat of the moment, Genya made a slight misstep, leaving himself vulnerable to Sanemi's attack. With lightning speed, Sanemi's blade found its mark, piercing Genya's arm. A sharp cry escaped Genya's lips as pain shot through him, and he staggered backward, clutching his wounded limb.

Sanemi's eyes widened in alarm as he watched his brother falter. Dropping his sword, he rushed to Genya's side, concern etched on his face.

"Genya! Are you alright?"

Genya gritted his teeth, trying to mask the pain, but his vision began to blur, and he felt himself growing faint. In a moment of vulnerability, he whispered your name, a term of endearment he had kept hidden from his brother.

"I-im fine, my love."

Sanemi froze, his eyes widening in surprise at the unexpected confession. For a brief moment, the intensity of their training was replaced by a sense of understanding as Sanemi realized the depth of Genya's feelings for you.

With a mixture of concern and compassion, Sanemi gently lifted Genya into his arms, carrying him to safety. As they retreated from the training ground, the weight of Genya's accidental confession hung in the air, a silent acknowledgment of the love he held for you, his secret flame.
