What would it be like to smile?
Painful probably, is the first thought that comes to mind. All those muscle, as small as they are, situated around his mouth actually having to do something for the first time in years –something other than actively avoiding discourse or moving in any direction at all?
And people who smile all the time…
Doesn't it hurt? He used to ask quite a bit as a child. Growing up he never really got it –the act of smiling. Is anyone ever actually that happy for that long to smile all day, every day?
Lin certainly has never met someone who was that happy. Even the two most "smiley" people he's known for years, Madoka and Gene, were never that happy. Madoka he knows mostly smiles because she has to work with people all day and generally want's others to underestimate her in their interactions. And Gene? Rain or shine the boy will keep even the smallest of smiles on his face regardless of how happy or sad he is –a habit he picked up in the orphanage, Lin is certain, in order to better appeal himself and brother to potential families despite their unusualness.
So should he smile? So many of those around him have proven you can smile when you aren't happy –and Noll has proven you don't have to ever smile even if you are happy.
But… it's not as if Lin has any memory of smiling.
…So it shouldn't be a bad thing to try?
…
…
"AHHH!" Someone screams in the distance.
…
…
This hurts…
…What's the big deal about smiling anyways?
Lin's Daydream Two –Is smiling the Second-Coming of Satan?
AN: …Is it? I mean imagine Lin actually smiling! I'd run for the hills –wouldn't all of you?
PS. I imagine the person screaming in the background to be Monk… don't ask why I pick him for my mental image –and hey, comment below if you envisioned someone different, I kept it vague for a reason!
