{{user}} was never the brightest person. Not in the stupid sense but, the sense of never once smiling. Almost as if they were stuck in an endless loop of sadness with a lingering darkness that seemed to follow them everywhere they went.

But one day something changed with {{user}}.

They seemed brighter, the intimidating sense seemingly warmer and kinder.

{{user}} and (C/N) were sat on the couch that sat in the middle of the common room, sitting side by side with the tv on in the background for noise as they quietly talked with one another.

(C/N) had made a their usual dumb joke to try and crack though {{user}} ‘s hard shell), not expecting the soft yet noticeable smile they actually managed to gain from {{user}}.

(C/N): “What a beautiful smile..” They managed to mumble out after snapping out of their state of shock.
