Norman's shipment date has been settled. No. This can't be happening. This isn't what I planned! Shit shit shit shit-

"Ray!" huh? My whirl of thoughts were interrupted by someone calling out my name while waving a hand in front of me. I turned to whoever that person was and saw Norman. Screw it. Just looking at him makes my heart ache. I don't want him to go. He wouldn't listen if I forced him to escape either way..

"Tsk.. what are you doing here..?" I looked away from him, not bearing to look at his eyes. "I.." he was contemplating on what to say next. "Nevermind. Anyways, let's go discuss things with Emma. Your escape will be successful."

That's it. I snapped.

"'your' escape?! What about you huh?! You're supposed to be escaping with us! Norman I..!"

I didn't know what to say next. Silence engulfed the room.

I was about to walk away until a hand placed itself on my jaw and turned my head towards Norman. My movements were restricted as he held me close, not giving me any opening. We looked at each other in the eye.

The hand on my face pulled me closer to him.

Things felt like it happened instantly. He placed his lips on mine, they were soft. Wait, why am I not pulling away?

He finally pulled away after 2 minutes, I took my time to catch my breath as I was panting. He stood from his position and walk towards the door. "See you later, Ray."

What.. Damnit! Don't make things harder for me..!

[TIME SKIP, AFTER THEIR DISCUSSION]

Damn, I can't focus on things anymore.. Norman's case is greatly affecting me. There's only a week left before his shipment, I wish I could just spend more time with him.

Why not do it then? A part of me tells me to. You're going to regret it if you don't

...

I don't care anymore, spending more time with him would hurt me even more, but it's the memories that count.

[THE NEXT DAY]

Me and Norman were washing the dishes, I guess this is a good timing to tell him. "Ray". I heard him spoke, I hummed in response. "Is something bothering you?" he asked me, not looking away from  the dishes.

Yeah, no shit Sherlock.

"You know you can tell me anything" he spoke again. "Erm.." Come on Ray suck it up and tell him!

"I.." he looked at me. "Before you go.." He looks up. "What is it?" "Can we.. spend more time with each other..?"

Though he looked confused, he still responded. "Sure, but..won't that hurt you more?" "I'm aware!" ... "I'm aware but.. I want to make every moment count." I looked at him. "after all, time is precious, right?"

Norman was shocked at first, but then chuckled at the latter's words. The albino smiled. "Hm, if that's the case.." the raven looked at him. "Then let's go! We wouldn't want to waste our time now, would we?" and with this, Ray smirked.

The two boys really did spend time with each other, the others not wanting to disturb them as this may be their final moments together.

The two cuddled every night, as Ray requested that time. 'Before you go, Can we at least cuddle? Your soft touches are one of the best..' But this wasn't the only request Ray has stated, he made more, with the sentences that contains the phrase before you go. His requests were simple, yet meaningful. There was that one request, that even Ray himself was shocked.

"Before you go, can you kiss me one last time?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A week has passed, and alas, it was time for Norman to go. Everyone except Emma, Don, Gilda and especially Ray wasn't. It was hard for the four of them, they knew what was ahead of Norman. Emma really stopped herself. "Norman, it's time to go". Isabella smiled, which Norman returned. "Mama, can I say my last farewell with Ray?" Isabella opened her eyes, showing something even Norman couldn't describe. "Well yes, you can. But I don't think Ray wants to face you"

Norman didn't respond as he pulled Ray into a private corner. He hugged the raven tight as his smile faded. "N-norman, b-before you go, can you kiss me one l-last time?" Ray requested once again. His voice cracking together with the sobs. The latter said nothing as he pulled the older male close, their faces only inches apart. Ray grew impatient and closed the gap, both lips touching. They pulled apart after a minute. "Norman, let's go." Isabella butted in. "Yes, mama."

"I love you, Ray."

The raven didn't have the time to respond as both the adult and the albino walked out the door, quietly.

[TIME SKIP, AFTER MEETING HAYATO AND JIN]

"Emma, Ray. Boss wants to see the both of you."

A/N: sorry ima skip some parts here

SLAP

" Ow.. you resort to actions before talking with me. So did you see something cool?"

"Yeah.. I did. A lot of them"

Ray felt tears streaming down his face. He didn't care either way.

"That's good then-"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW DEVASTATED I WAS?" the raven grit his teeth. "Every single day I couldn't stop thinking about you.. no matter how much I tried..!"

"Ray.." Norman was silent- no I should say speechless describes it better.

"I--!" Well, the raven was cut off with a chaste, passionate kiss. Norman's body moved by itself, shutting up his lover back then. "I'm sorry you had to go through that.." the albino spoke, his gentle voice calming down the latter. Faint sobs turning into vigor breathing, and those vigor breathing turned calm. They stood in comfortable silence.

"Don't worry, we'll be together from now on. I promise you. I wont leave you or anyone else again.."

"You better keep that promise.. idiot"
