Norman x Ray OneShots

Jealous

Setting: orphanage

Ages: 11

Ray's pov 

All the children were playing tag while I was sitting in my favourite spot (underneath a tree). I was watching all the children have so much fun, especially with Emma.

 I could never be like her, everyone likes her so much and they all forget about me. I wish I was her, getting all the attention... life really isn't fair.

I look over to Norman and see him approaching me. "Why don't you play with us, Ray?" is the first thing he said when he got closer to me.

 "Cause I don't want to, why don't you go back to your girlfriend over there she's waiting for you," I say pointing at Emma.

 "Huh," Norman looks in the direction I'm pointing at. "Emma! She's not my girlfriend and I  like-" He stops halfway at his sentence. "What is it?" I question.

 "Nevermind... you sure you don't want to play tag with us, Ray?" "Yeah I'm sure, you can go over there now there still waiting for you." And with that Norman left. 

I sighed and sat back down, I have a crush on Norman but he likes Emma. I sit back down and feel something wet going down my right cheek. It's a tear, I quickly wipe it off before anyone sees it. I look around to see if anyone saw it, but everyone was gone playing tag with Emma.

After the game of tag~

After the first game of tag, all of the children wanted to play another game. As I was going, Emma asked me where I was going, I told her that I was going to Ray and that they can play the game without me. Emma looked a little disappointed but then smiled and said ok bye.

 I headed to Ray and sat down next to him. "What are you reading?" He looks at me "A book." I chuckle a little bit hearing his reply.

And all of a sudden he says this "Why do you keep on coming to me anyway? Why don't you just stay with your girlfriend?" I look confused and say this in response to his question "First she's not my girlfriend and I like someone else anyway." 

"Huh!" Oh, shit why did I have to say that? "You like someone else?" He sounded curious and a little sad when he said that.

 "Yeah um... what's  that book about?" I try to change the subject hoping he's not going to question me about who I like,

 "Oh, this. It's about the things they have in the outside world. I always wonder what it's like out there with all sorts of different inventions and things, but I know I would never have the chance to see it." He muttered that last part quietly.

 "What do you mean?" I say hoping to get an answer, "It's nothing," he closed his book then stood up. "Where are you going?" I stood up after my question. "Back inside, you can go play with your girlfriend and the others." He looked like he was about to cry but I didn't question him cause I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable.

I stayed silent and he walked off. Did I do something wrong, why did he just walk away like that? Why does he keep on calling Emma my girlfriend anyway, I don't like her and I think of her as a sister, not my lover. If anyone, I think as more than a friend it's him.

I was walking back inside the orphanage trying to keep in my tears so no one would see me cry and question me about it. It's fine if I cry I just want no one seeing me.

 I see my mom and she walks up to me "Ray-" "Not now mom I have something important to do," I start running to my room leaving mom confused but she just shrugs it off and walks away.

 I feel a tear go down my cheek so I rub it away but more keep coming. I open the door, hoping that no one is in the room, so I slowly open it, making sure that no one is there. I jump onto my bed and pull the bed cover over my head so if anyone does walk into the room they won't see me crying.

15 minutes later~

My tears stopped and I was just laying down on my bed trying not to think about Norman. I could hear everyone, they sounded like they had so much fun when they came back inside the building. It's really sad though, to think that one day, all of them, including me, will be gone, eaten by demons. 

I wish that I could have a normal life or at least a life like Emma's. 

I heard footsteps come closer every second so I took the bedsheet of myself and acted casual. "Ray dinners ready! Everyone's waiting for you so be quick."

I jump out of bed and walk to the dining hall. I sit down on my seat and start eating. I feel like someones watching me (staring at him), I look to my right and see Norman staring at me. "Please can you stop staring at me?" This caused Norman to put his head down and look at his food. "Oh sorry, didn't realise I was staring" I start to blush a little thinking about how cute e looks when he's embarrassed. 

Wait what! No no no I can't have feelings for him he's just my friend and besides he likes Emma.

"Are you ok?" Norman asked looking a bit worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I push all my thoughts aside and eat my food.  

After I ate the food we did whatever and then it was bedtime. Everyone went to sleep but I went to moms office.

"So Ray do you have any information?" 

"They don't know anything about secret... yet, but I'm pretty sure Norman likes Emma."

She looked a bit surprised at first but then did the fake signature smile she does to everyone. "You can leave now," so I leave her office and go to bed.

This isn't the end of this chapter. I will update this chapter again, but I was wondering if I should do a full story on this or if I should just leave it like this. If I do some things might change.

Hope you enjoyed it!
