Who Said Why So Serious Novels & Stories

"I am taking it seriously." "Then take it more seriously.”

Far too serious. “I hate to bother everyone,” he said. “But you need to hear this.”

Or maybe something more. “Adrian?” I said after a long pause. “Hmm?” I hesitated, unsure if I wanted to ask the question that had been nagging at me all day. But curiosity won out. “Why don’t you smile more?” He blinked, clearly caught off guard. “What?” “Max asked you earlier, but you didn’t really answer,” I said, leaning forward slightly. “You’re always so serious. Why?” Adrian frowned, his gaze dropping to his hands. For a moment, I thought he wouldn’t answer. But then he sighed, running a hand through his hair.

Stupid pillow. Stupid Raine. You were the only one standing still… Like—okay. Rude? I am moving, thank you very much. I wake up. I train. I annoy people. I live. I have depth, alright? But then again… She looked so serious when she said it. And not the usual "you're dumb and annoying" serious. The quiet kind. The kind that sinks in, sticks under your skin, and won’t leave you alone no matter how many jokes you throw at it.

I asked him, searching his eyes and staring at him eagerly. He shook his head. He stared at me with a serious look for a while before bursting out in laughter. I hissed. "If you came all the way here to try and be a comedian, then you should know that it is not funny," I warned him. He shook his head. "Forgive me, but I wasn't trying to offend you or be a comedian. I was serious when I said I had news about the stuff." I sighed. I leaned back on the wall. I thought he was just being funny and he'd leave when he was done.

Drake said to him and he raised a brow. “Why so serious?” “It's about Claire.”

She’s lucky that I can’t even afford the alcohol at the moment. “Shut up. You can’t be serious.” She wheezes. “Girl, I’m as serious as that idiot professor who asked you to suck his dick in exchange for a grade in college.” Her loud gasp of horror travels through the speakers. Yes, Zuri is quite the overly dramatic one. “As serious as Professor Tiny Balls? Oh, good Lord!” She sounds so serious that I can’t help the giggles that bubble up my throat. “Yes. His name is Desmond. The African American.”

I take a glass of champagne to release some tension. "Hey grumpy" Liam pats me on the back and laughs, it's a name I haven't heard in a longtime. It just brings back old memories from my university days, Liam always said 'I am too serious for my own good'. Well, being successful has been my goal and only serious people get it in life.

Adrian told her and Isabel scoffed. "Just so you know, you are probably the first person that thinks of me as a serious person. Every other person thinks that I am pretty much an unserious person and I actually agree with them because I'm not as serious as you think I am. I agree that sometimes I can sound pretty serious but trust me, I am not the serious type and I don't always take every single thing that personal. The only reason I reacted this way to what you said was because of the fact that I did not want you to look down on yourself for any reason at all," Isabel clarified.

His words made me look at him for a minute. "It is a lot of fun to know about the person we love, so I inquired about you every thing. In short I know you more than you do yourself." "Hey don't love me so much, I don't deserve your love not at all." His words made me confused. What does he mean? Why does he sound so serious? Is something going to happen in our life?
