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?

Silver : Living in Between (Tokyo ghoul Fanfiction)
"Why are we like this?" Asked a tiny girl to her tall dad which hair was starting to turn white already. The man had a grave look. He opened the door of a cafeshop and they sat. He ordered his usual while she took a hot chocolote. "Because I have had a mishap." he said with a bitter smile. The girl felt tears about to fell on her cheeks, but she refused to cry in front of him."Now I must deal with the aftermath. I have to fullfill my duty." On that he left the little girl alone in the cafe. He would probably never love her. She reminded him too much of his mistakes. A few moments later, a nanny came to get her. She didn't cry in the end. She was the living proof that her father had been wrong once. Unknowglinly, the man swore to protect her in his own way. It meant letting her grow up as far as possible from him. The girl was determined to prove him wrong. She wasn't just a mistake. This is the story of Yuki, a child with no place in this word. Her fate was either to become a monster or a saviour of these two worlds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO AI TRAINING: Without in any way limiting the author's [and publisher's] exclusive rights under copyright, any use of this publication to "train" generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to generate text is expressly prohibited.

The Value Of A Smile
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!! 😊 ⚠️ warning ⚠️: description of abuse. Description of anxiety and panic attacks.Concluida

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died. But that's not what caused me to black out in the middle of a rocking party scene, surrounded by all the people I had known all my life. It was when I saw who had killed her. Hilarious, charming, the guy with the perfect quiff, and star quarter-back of the football team. He was loved by everyone. He was the guy you couldn't stay away from. Levi Harrison.

The Dreaming Boy
"Come on Kiyotaka, let's go shopping!"...."Kiyotaka, are you dosing off again? You can be such a dunce sometimes..."..."I love you Kiyotaka!".............."I've felt something for you I never thought I would ever feel in my life....I love you too ____!" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wakes up after experiencing an abnormal dream. He dismisses it fully at first, but realizes the dreams continue through his nights of slumber. He wonders if this is his mind playing tricks on him or is his mind showing a future revelation. I do not own any characters from Classroom of the Elite. This story is just for fun. I hope you enjoy this story. Criticism is welcome. The characters will most likely be OOC, but I will try to keep the same mentality of everyone as the story progresses. This story was planned to be heavy romance but has turned into a thriller type story with a good emphasis on romance. I'm not smart enough to think of different situations for special exams, so I may skip majority of them if it does not affect the plot. I will put the ship at the bottom of the description. If you want to keep it a surprise I recommend stopping here. I can't remember where I got this photo from. I think I got it off X/Twitter at somepoint but I can't remember where. I don't want to take credit for a photo/cover image I didn't create. Thank you and I hope you enjoy. Kiyotaka x Suzune
Class-E, The Experiments
On a fateful day, two souls entered the world, each destined for misfortune from the moment they took their first breath. One was born in Japan, the other in the distant land of Latvia. Both would be drawn into the depths of questionable experiments, and in time, their lives would inevitably become intertwined. That much was certain. In this fanfiction, Ayanokōji will be less desperate for 'friends' while also having small locked away trauma here and there from the white room resulting in some flashbacks and such, other then that his personality won't change much. And before enrolling to school, he decides to also read a little bit of social behavior books. Something he probably didn't do in the LN, Anime or Manga. (Also, when it says he smiles, he doesn't, he just thinks he does.)![COTE | | Bound | | [Suzune x Kiyotaka]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366653018-256-k542510.jpg)

| | BOUND | | [Suzune x Kiyotaka] ~ Snippet of Chapter 1 ~ "Ayanokoji." She suddenly said my name with such determination that it almost scared me - key word: almost -, "Are you perhaps free tomorrow?" "I wouldn't say I'm busy. As a caution, I have to ask - if you are perhaps invited me on an outing - I would have the wrong idea to assume this is a food trap, correct?" "It's bold of you to incorrectly assume that I'm only offering you to come on an outing with me because I want something from you, alas, you are mistaken. Is it wrong to want to go on an outing with a f-friend?" "I suppose it's not wrong to want to go out with a friend Horikita, I'll accept you on the offer - seeing as I lack the means to refuse," I said, glancing at the compass that had returned to the hand of its owner, glinting in the sunlight. "Lack the means?" She falsely smiled at me, caressing her weapon, after all, it's rare to see her genuinely smile, "You have every right to refuse my kind offer Ayanokoji." "I gracefully accept your offer Horikita," STARTED : Sunday 14th April 2024 ENDED :Concluida
