We all have that one friend, that one person we know that is always happy and smiling, never angry or upset, just calm and peaceful. That one person where it seems like their life is perfect and they have no problems or issues. That one person we all go to vent to and just tell why we hate our lives but we never really ask them. We may not know it but they are always there for us when we need them but who is there for them. We never question their life behind closed doors we just assume that it is all cupcakes and rainbows. But what really happens behind those doors, is the smile real or just a mask for what they are really feeling. Maybe think twice before you assume someones decisions in life.

COTE: Where is that smile from before?
Have you ever wondered why people smile at strangers? It doesn't make any logical sense. For all you know, the person you're smiling at could be the world's most ruthless killer. Yet we do it instinctively, as if trust and kindness are commodities to be given freely. This contradiction lies at the heart of human nature-our willingness to mask fear and suspicion behind a simple, disarming gesture. But what happens when the mask slips? When curiosity overrides logic, and true intentions are revealed? In a world where trust is an illusion and everyone hides behind their own carefully constructed facade, one question lingers: Why do we smile?

Shattered Reflection

Maybe I shouldn't have said that at least not now that we are talking again. But a smile made to my lips when I saw his reply. "Oh really?" It was a simple response yet I couldn't help myself from smiling like a teenager. He has always been reserved except for a few instances but I simply love it.

Seeing the purple heart reaction from his side I couldn't help just smile more and calm down my racing heart. ✿♡♡✿ Two hearts torn apart due to differences but what happens when destiny brings them together in life.

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing // Classroom of the Elite x Assassination Classroom
Status: Year 1 - At volume 10 currently Year 2 - TBA "You're so worked up about wins and losses, victories and defeats, that you skip over defining what they mean. Is an academic genius the winner in a room of world-class athletes? Think about it! Are you truly winning against me if you're the only one invested in the competition? Of course, mathematically, in a room of 100 people, get 51 on board and you dictate what's black and white. So? Are you going to travel the world to serve a life philosophy quiz to 8 billion people? And between you and me, Kiyotaka. If you set your finish line simply to comply or deny another's whims, you've already thrown in the towel. You see, unlike the rest of our peers, I'm not looking to peak in Highschool. What about you?" [A crossover between Classroom of the Elite and Assassination Classroom post-Koro-sensei death, featuring an original character and returning ones. All in hopes of a slightly different approach and feel to a COTE Story compared to most Kiyotaka 2.0 ones. I put more emphasis on themes and clashing of ideals, not intellectual power scaling and one-upping. If you treat COTE the way power scalers treat Batman, this is probably NOT for you.]
