"I'm so sorry!" A girl exclaimed as she bumped into someone in the streets. The strange thing was that she, out of the two, had been the only one effected. The victim to her clumsiness hadn't budged an inch from where he stood.

She was perplexed when she looked up at him only to be met with a large grin plastered on his pallid face. As she sat there in the middle of the crowded streets of Konoha, she contemplated whether the stranger would help her or if she should just stand up on her own. With a huff, she picked herself up off of the ground and sent a small glare to the still grinning stranger.

"Some gentlemen you are!" She breathed out in an exasperated tone. He simply tilted his head in a puzzled manner.

"Did I do something to upset you?" He asked with a hint of true curiosity. Her eyebrow twitched at his ignorance.

"YES YOU DID! YOUR SUPPOSED TO HELP SOMEONE UP WHEN THEY FALL!" He looked even more puzzled by the (h/c) girl's sudden outburst.

"Oh." Her eyebrow twitched as she forced herself to keep calm and not cause a scene. "If it helps, I can pay for a meal?"

She was never one to turn down free food. EVER.

"That'll do just fine." A grin broke out across her face as she thought about the awaiting food.

He reached out his hand in a stiff gesture for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you, irritable."

She raised an eyebrow, "What did you just call me?" She questioned in an obvious warning tone.

"Irritable." She choked down a laugh at his blunt answer and smiled at his cluelessness.

"Well then, you shall be sickly. Your skin is just so pale!" You let out a short laugh and followed him to wherever they were going to eat.

.-.-.-.-.

He had offered to walk her home claiming that he had read that it was the proper thing to do for a lady. 'Irritable' was only a civilian, so she did enjoy the feeling of safety she received from having a well-trained ninja walk her home.

When they reached her doorstep, she turned to him with a large smile on her face, "Thanks again for the food!"

He once again had that smile on his face that gave her the feeling he wasn't really feeling the way he was acting. His eyes even showed that he might not even feel anything.

She inwardly sighed and brushed off the thought.

"Well, thank you for walking me home, and I hope you have a good night, sickly." As she said his nickname, she saw his lips twitch into what could be considered a small, sincere, and genuine smile. It surprised her to say the least. But it made her jump for joy on the inside, and she was smiling like there was no tomorrow.

"Goodnight, sickly."

"Goodnight, irritable."

.-.-.-.-.-.

When 'sickly' came to visit 'irritable's' house again his next free day, she was no where to be found. He looked in the clear, glass front door and saw that the lights were off, and there was no furniture. So, he decided to ask around, and he soon found out what happened.

The girl he now knew as (y/n) was found dead just two days ago. There had been no evidence found on who it could have been, there weren't even an suspects. But he knew exactly who killed her. Wasn't it obvious?

That was the day when he finally lost all hope of gaining human emotion.

His life was now filled with empty smiles.

You know what they say, "A smile can light up anyone's day."

So why couldn't it seem to light up his?

Hope you guys liked it! :D

The first time I tried to publish it, Wattpad decided that it hated me so it deleted it.

ALL.

I was really annoyed but I rewrote and it's out now so that's all that matters.
