A/N: Huh. This was an "ok I suppose I'll post this" chapter. I wrote it a while ago, and because it was the only half-way decent thing in my files I'm posting it, and I didn't write one for today's word... enjoy, though!

Risible
Capable of laughing; disposed to laugh.
It had been months since he had seen his best friend smile. Usually a risible man, Shawn had fallen to misery.
As his friend, Gus tried to help him. He took him to get smoothies, watched movies with him. But it seemed that nothing could fill the hole in Shawn's life. Gus could only stand by and watch, watch the misery take over, watch Shawn become a shadow of the man he had once been as the guilt ate him up.
Of course, Gus was hurting too. He'd been there, seen the body. Jules' body.
It was hard for everyone.
