Laughter comes so naturally to him. It’s what he’s always done to cope. Finding the humor in things is easier than facing the pain, so he laughs even when he’s upset. He laughs to ease ache, he laughs to curb his reality for just a little longer, and he laughs to make the good times better.
He laughs because he’s grown up around laughter. Matthew always found a reason to smile, so Alfred tried to, too. And they were never closer than when they could giggle with each other.
So he’s shocked, at first, when Lukas doesn’t utter a single sound after his joke.
He gives his lover a concerned look and starts, “It’s funny because-” “It isn’t funny if you have to explain,” Lukas deadpans. Alfred bites his lip.
“But!”
“Really, Alfred, it’s alright. I get it.” And the discussion ends there.
