Fashioned lover boy
Based off of good old fashioned lover boy by queen I'd suggest listening to it while reading
Norman (6)
Ray(6)

~start~

It was just another day at the orphanage. Kids running around playing tag and talking to each other about random things like who would be next in tag and about how they did on their daily test.

Norman sat under the big three next to Ray,he frowned; they had been sitting there for an hour now and Ray still hadn't said a word to Norman. He huffed at the boy who had a book in his hand like always. Norman stood up this caused Ray to finally look up from his book.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing.." Norman pouted

"Okay then" the raven haired boy said before turning his attention back to the book. You had to be kidding, Norman thought.

"You're clueless," Norman muttered before walking off inside.

Ray just says they're confused at why the boy would be mad at him.Yeah he never was talkative or observant. Maybe that's what made the boy mad.

Norman walked the hallways of the house wondering about what would await him when he left the house and if his new family would let him keep in contact with Ray and Emma.

He kept wondering his thoughts in overdrive until he heard something coming from their mothers office. He opened up the door seeing her fiddling around with some sort of machine. It looked like it had a round disk rotating on it. It also had a horn attached to the side which seemed to have a light sound coming from it.

"God damn it" Norman heard her mutter.

Well he always knew ray got his vocabulary from somewhere,now he knew where.

"Mom? What are you doing?" He asked her. Isabella turned around and looked at the little white haired boy "oh Norman I didn't hear you come in, just putting together something that came in the mail. It's a record player" she explained.

"Like the ones in the books?" You could see the boy's eyes light up with curiosity. "Yes exactly like those" she told him while continuing to work on the darn thing she couldn't get to work.

After a few more minutes of waiting Isabella had set up the music player and set a record down on it.

It was almost silent. Norman sat there patiently waiting for the sound to start. Isabella put the hook down on the record and the music started playing.

It was a man singing. It was quiet but soon it got louder when some background vocals started to sing. The words lover boy kept repeating so he would only assume that was its name.

"I used to listen to this when I was little as well, my mother always said it was called 'good old fashioned lover boy' it was a long title so we always called it lover boy" she said thinking back to her days before becoming a mother. Her days with lessie and the kids who were called her siblings.

"We? Was there someone else you listened to it with " Norman asked.

She smiled " curious child, yes a boy named lesslie, me and him liked to dance together listening to This song. It was one of our favorite things to do"  Isabella reminisced in the thought of her and lesslie slow dancing together at night after everyone had gone to sleep.

Norman thought about how he could dance with someone listening to this song, how wonderful it would be to just hold the other person in his arms. To see them smile and laugh. "What type of dance did you two do?"

"We slow danced, we always did it late at night so slow dancing was a way to do it without waking anyone up" Isabella said to the small boy.

"That's smart" Norman commented before asking his mother "could teach me how to slow dance mom?"

"Of course, but who do you want to dance with?" She asked.

"I wanna dance with ray!" He said excitedly.

"You can dance with whoever you want, now let me teach you how" Isabella smiled a soft smile.

It was years later now.

He had successfully blew up the lamba laboratory where him and the other defects escaped a few didn't make it but he saved who he could.

He still remembered the night he was stripped away from his family. He thought he was gonna die. Sometimes he wondered if it would have been easier if he had chosen that opinion, if he never would've gone through the testing and experiments.

But it didn't matter now his only focus was finding his family and he hoped Ray was with them. He had overheard from the scientists at Lamba whisper about the Gracefield kids' escape. As Well as how they lit the house on fire. This made him happy they made it out but only made him worry for the raven haired boy and if he had gotten out alive or if he went through with his plan to kill himself.

Him and group had set up their base a few months ago, since they had blown up several human factories made to over produce human meat. The poor things tied to feeding tubes, they only lived to die in the demon's eyes. They lived and died in the same place never seeing a sliver of humanity shown towards them.

He wished them the best in their next life hoping they would reincarnate on the human side where they belonged and deserved to be.

-

He read over the document once more that Vincent had given to him about goldy pond being overthrown. This was good for them, they could find the group of humans and team up with them. It would put him a step closer to finding Emma and the others.

A month later from that date they had found the others and Norman was reunited with his family. He was so happy to see Emma, Gilda, Don and everyone else. But everything seemed to stop when he saw ray and got to hug him tightly and hear his sobs about how much of an idiot he was when he let them take him. The whole ordeal ended with the two playfully calling each other idiot.

Now ray was sitting on the couch Norman had in his office reading some book he had found as Norman read over files for their next mission. Ray would be joining them this time. Norman never understood why Ray always liked to sit there as he worked but he appreciated the company.

There was music playing in the background, it gave them some noise besides silence.

A few minutes later Norman heard the same song he heard when he first listened to a record player with Isabella. 'Good old fashioned lover boy' when it came on he was hit with a wonderful idea.

Norman stood up and moved in front of ray grabbing his arms and pulling him up from his spot on the couch, the book falling to the ground.

"What are you doing Norman?" Ray asked.

"Dancing with you"

"Why?"

"Cause we never do anything like this" Norman said, pulling ray closer just like Isabella had taught him years ago. He put his hand around the boys waist and took his hand into his own.

Ray smiled and followed the boys lead when they started moving there feet.

After a few minutes and Norman speeding up a little Ray's footwork started to get tripped up. Norman took notice of this and said "don't think to much, love, just focus on me" there was a pause until Norman sang "say the word your wish is my command" with the song.

"Ooh~ love ooh~ lover boy" ray hummed purring his head against normans shoulder moving his hands to the boys lower waist.

Norman responded by putting his arms around his shoulders.

They were just swaying now, Norman smiled he wish he could've don't this with him a long time ago but now was better than never.
