Smile Like An Idiot Novels & Stories

No matter how kind they are or how much they ignore the thought, you can't deny that I was a deadweight; I guess that's the reason why I don't smile around them. How could I smile and act like I'm enjoying life if I'm a burden to the people who were everything to me? Enough of that. I should be thanking Ria. Having my first smile with her is one step closer to a specific answer. "Uh... w-what brought this on?" "You kept smiling at other people... but you never smiled at me," She's pouting, and she's jealous?! So that's why she said that! What a childish reason! "That's all?"

At least not now. And if anyone was to ever ask me, I believe I am perfect. But my smile... It bothers me. It is a replica of my father's smile. And everything about him I find at fault... Especially when it is found in me. The silence that had befallen us made me feel non-existent ants crawling up my body. So, I took steps forward, ready to escape the room but my arm got held back. "When I look at your smile, I don't see a donkey's smile. And trust me, I love looking at donkeys smiles. Like the one in the movie Shrek... What is its name again?"

Stupid. And the sound of it— It pulled something out of me. Loosened something in my chest I didn’t even know was tight. He leaned forward, eyes dancing. “You ever smile, big guy?” “No.” “You should try it sometime. You’ve got the cheekbones for it.” I bit down a curse, but my mouth twitched barely and he saw it. Fucking bastard saw it. His eyes widened slightly, like he’d just witnessed an eclipse. “Oh my god,” he whispered, dramatic as ever. “Was that a—was that a smile? Did Andrei the Brick Wall just—”

His deep chuckle, his laugh, his small smile, his almost smirks, and his rare blushes, to me he looks so handsome with all of it. "You know what? I've been thinking...what if you open up a little? It wouldn't hurt to try right?" "Huh?" He asked. "Open up a little..." I suggested. "Smile, laugh or cry. Be nice to everyone. You can do it, you are allowed to do it and no one's stopping you except yourself. Despite always calling you a robot, I realized you're still human after all. Deep down that stone-cold face. That's why a lot of people are scared of you. Smile more, you're...more handsome with it." I continued.

Couldn't quite meet his eyes. I forced out a smile. It felt wrong on my face. Twisted. Uglier than crying would have been. My voice came out strange. Carrying a barely detectable choke. "See?" I tried to laugh. It sounded broken. "I really am a complete idiot, aren't I?" The words kept spilling out. I couldn't stop them. "To actually like that kind of man for so long. To waste six years of my life on someone who never really loved me. To let myself become such a pathetic mess..."

- he says approaching. ________ Stop you idiot, let's get on with it! - He shrugs, I throw a rock at him and he shouts "hey" and then laughs. ________ So... are you going to apply to play for the Diamond Crown? - he makes an expression of curiosity and then I speak. ________ Not at all.. they will have many other options not to me.. - He opens a huge idiotic smile again.

"I’m just going to... take my leave now. Thanks for the bed, I guess." She made it to the door, but then she stopped. Something about the way he was standing there, so isolated and cold, made her turn back slowly. "You know," she started, her voice gaining a bit of unexpected strength. "You should probably try smiling more often. Even though you’re... well, handsome, I guess, smiling actually makes you look human. You don't have to be a total grump all the time. I know your childhood was trash, trust me, I get it, same here, but stop being so miserable."

“I try.” He winked, laughing when I raised an eyebrow. “I’m kidding. I don’t need to try.” I smacked his chest with the backs of my fingers. “You’re such an idiot.” “It’s why I’m so endearing. I mean, who wouldn’t want a complete and utter idiot who makes kids laugh by singing Humpty Dumpy out of tune?” He carefully put his things in the trunk of the car.
