((Class clowns do their best to make everyone else happy, so they can share in it, so they don’t fall apart. It feels so much better to laugh in public than to cry. It feels like it’ll hurt less if you can just smile the pain away.))
(Oh, no, I get why he doesn’t look sad very often. Just doesn’t help when ya need an icon for it and you can only questionably find five out of a thousand and a half. ^^;
And though he does smile, when he’s really sad, even if no one can see him, he makes…
This face. Not having to do with how he hides his feelings, just that he never really ever looks all that sad most of the time. Like he can’t actually show it much at all. Goes beyond just a mask that he wears when he doesn’t want people to see how he feels in public. Smiles come more easily to him, and he chooses to focus more on the good than the bad. Like the good times he had with his father than the fact that he isn’t there anymore. (Granted, he’s also had eight years to cope with that, but even when everything about his father came back, he responded more in anger than sadness.) He just focuses on other things.)
