The words slipped off his tongue like silk.
Humor had always come easy to him.
Looking at smiling faces, watering eyes, that had always made him feel whole, warm inside.
It filled up the cold crevice for a while.
No one had ever completely filled it up though, the warm feeling fading, him desperately grasping at the last fuzzy edges as it vanished into the air.
Unblinking eyes stared up at him, where he perched, looking over the crowd.
Always searching for anyone...
Anyone.
Then he took a deep breath and filled the silence up again with that warm feeling, warming the crevice up, even for but just a second.

She looked up at him on the stage, humor softening his features under the bright lights.
He entranced everyone in the room, everyone hanging onto his every word, forgetting all of their worries, their stress, their loneliness for a while as they laughed to their hearts content, until their stomachs hurt and they could laugh no more.
Yet she could still see something more, something underneath the deceiving outwards appearance.
Pain.
The emotion she could recognize so well, having experienced it for so long.
Pain of emptiness. Not knowing the feeling of love.
Loveless.
Just perhaps though... She could give him that love. Fill up his heart like he did for all of these other people, and lock it inside of him, for that feeling to last forever.
