Smile. We do that every day. But sometimes we just forget how valuable that smile actually is.
Toshiro, as he calls himself, lost his mother at birth, and is living his life with his father. But little does anyone know the dark secret that the family holds...
At a young age, Toshiro runs away from home and starts living an independent life. He goes to school, work, like a normal child would. But one thing is different.
He never smiles.
Hi! So this is basically a story about a boy with an abusive father that runs away from home and lives on his own. It's about how he copes with the difficulties and changes in his life, and it has a happy ending!!
This has no deep angst in it btw.
I own none of the pictures, but the story is mine.
Enjoy!! 😊

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!

Invisible Yet Invincible
Akira was just another student entering high school, a place filled with chaos, drama, and people fighting to stand out. But he wasn't like them-he never wanted to be the main character. All he wanted was a quiet life in the background, unnoticed, untouched by the madness around him. But fate didn't care about what he wanted. One day, Akira found himself standing on the school rooftop, staring at the sky, lost in thought. Then, in a cruel twist, he slipped-or was he pushed? Before he could even process it, he was falling. And just like that, his life ended. But death wasn't the end. Instead of fading into nothingness, Akira woke up in a completely different world, one filled with strange powers, dangerous creatures, and a society unlike anything he had ever known. His new body was different, stronger. Power surged through him, growing every day, making him someone impossible to ignore. But even with all this strength, Akira refused to change.

But in this new world, could he really stay hidden forever? Or would his growing power force him into the spotlight he had spent his entire life avoiding?Complete
