Also, decided not to include Codsworth, because no matter how stoic Sole can get, there is no way Codsworth wouldn’t see them smile while talking to their spouse or Shaun. Alright, here we go!

Cait - She actually has to look twice to be sure. After Cait’s sure her eyes are not playing tricks on her, she can only grin in return.

Curie - She is actually releaved. She barely saw their face change and was a bit worried if they are even able to express their emotions. Now that Curie knew they were fine, she spent the whole day smiling herself.

Danse - Had he known that tripping over his own power armour would get an actual reaction from Sole, he would’ve probably done it earlier, despite his embarassement. It was nice to see them smile, really.

Deacon - “Hey… Heeeey! So you can smile!” He then goes on, explaining a very detailed theory about how he thought Sole was actually a synth done by a company that aspired to send the Institute to hell. 

Dogmeat - Whoa, that was new! And pleasant! He’ll dog kiss that smile even wider now!

Hancock - He immediately smiles and proceeds to look at them before their expression turns back to normal and they ask a silent ‘what’. “Nothing,” Hancock smiles, “I would just like to see you smile a bit more. That’s all.” And Sole smiled again.

MacCready - Did they just smile? Holy crap! He’d never seen them do that before. It’s a nice change, surely, MacCready felt a bit weird never knowing what they were thinking. But this was nice…

Nick Valentine - “Hm,” was all he said, earning a curious look from Sole, who was once again sporting a neutral expression. The detective beamed at them, “Its nice you still know how to smile, even though there aren’t many reasons to do so anymore.” Their reply was a bit smaller. but still visible grin.

Piper - “Blue!” she almost yelped, her face the one of delight. When they smiled even wider at her surprise, Piper giggled and decided that she would make them smile again, soon.

Preston - He said nothing at first, but seeing their expression, he too smiled, his eyes gentle. “Good to see you finally smile, general,” he finally spoke, voice calm and content.

Strong - He was very close to not even noticing it, but he did. He didn’t truly mind, but it seemed odd to him nevertheless.

X6-88 - It was nice to work with someone who was as serious as X6 himself, but it definetely wasn’t usual for people to not show their emotions. So when Sole finally did, he was relieved in a way.
