Smiling and Dying ~ Kam

Keefe was slowly breaking inside. His family hated him. Fitz didn't like him anymore. Sophie had rejected him. Everyone else was cold to him, still not trusting him after the Neverseen fiasco. Tam was the only one who really cared.

And some days, Keefe could tell even that care was forced.

But he couldn't tell anyone. No one would really understand. They would all pity him. So he hid it all away. To the point where he could barely speak to somebody without sounding cold and withdrawn.

Still, he kept pretending. Kept his head up. Kept on smiling, smiling, smiling.

But he knew he was really dying, dying, dying.

This Kam fanfic is a human AU. In this, Tam never joined the Neverseen. However, Keefe did, to try and get vital information. It didn't work, instead he gave up information.

This was started at 3:30 A.M., so the concept is probably terrible, but I might as well write it.

Warnings: Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, etc.
