𝘼𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘽𝙤𝙮 (Ray x Reader)

Filler #2

M/n and Ray were in the library reading together again. Today they were reading a quite gory book but they didn't care. M/n nodded his head as the go ahead to flip the page. Instead of flipping the page, Ray had asked a question. "Hey, m/n, are you ever happy?"

M/n turned his head to look at Ray. He nodded his head. "of course, i'm happy right now, couldn't you tell?" M/n questioned tilting his head to the side.

Ray's sweat dropped as he looked at the expression on m/n's face. "No not really." He admitted.

M/n looked up in thought. Ray looked at him in confusion. The younger boy stood up and began to make his way out of the library and as soon as he got to the door he turned back to Ray. "i'll be back in a few minutes." And he just left Ray sitting there with the book the two were reading.

Ray although very confused did not question it and sorta just brushed it off and went on to read the next page of the book.

M/n on the other hand made his way through the house looking for a specific person who could solve his problem. "have you seen emma?" The boy asked an eight-year-old girl.

The girl put her hand on her chin in thought then smiled down at m/n nodding her head. "Yeah, Emma's in the bedroom braiding Mariah's hair with Gilda!" The eight-year-old informs m/n. The boy nodded and went off to one of the shared bedrooms.

M/n went up the stairs and as soon as he was at the top he heard laughs coming from the bedroom. Wasting no time he went into the room and immediately spotted the ginger-haired girl he was searching for. "emma." M/n called out.

Emma turned her head so she was looking at m/n. "Oh, hey m/n! Wanna help me and Gilda braid Mariah's hair?" The ginger asked the boy very enthusiastically.

"no." Came m/n's short reply. "i just need to know what to do to let someone know i'm happy."

"Just smile and everyone will know you're happy!" Emma answered the boy and even gave him a giant smile. M/n nodded in response and left before anyone could say anything else.

M/n went back to the library and when he walked in he saw Ray still sitting on the floor but reading a different book. "i'm back." M/n spoke as he made his way beside Ray. Ray closed the book he had gotten while m/n was gone and put it on the other side of him.

"What did you go do?" Ray asked as he opened the book back to the page he and m/n were reading before the h/c-haired boy left.

"i asked emma what to do to let someone know i'm happy." The boy bluntly answered. "she told me to smile." M/n forced a wide smile on his face like how Emma showed him earlier.

Ray cringed as he watched m/n force a smile on his face. "Please stop you look unnatural." Once those words were said m/n's face quickly went back to his natural apathetic expression. "You don't have to smile or anything just tell me when you're happy or when you feel anything else," Ray told the younger boy.

"well, then i'm happy."
