Norray {Summer Camp AU + Fluff, Angst}

Chapter 17~

RAY'S POV:

Norman had stepped out for awhile, and looked relieved and happy when the mysterious call was over. He ran over here and hugged me tightly.

"N-nor- too-" I said, groaning. 

"Oh sorry!" He said as he took his arms back and smiled out of embarrassment.

"Its fine- really!" I hugged him and he hugged me back gently and carefully. He kissed me, and I kissed him back. We stayed there, just kissing, when Jemima, Phil, and Simon came over.

"Nyla saw a big black car outside!!" Phil shouted excitedly. Jemima giggled.

"It's shiny too!" She added.

"Ray come on! The sketchy guy said he wants to talk to you and Norman!!" Simon shouted, full of happiness and optimism. Sketchy Guy?!

"Well- I can't get u-" I started when Norman picked me up. "Well- I guess this works." I said as he walked outside holding me, when I saw 2 people. One of them had an orangey reddish hair color, and brownish yellow eyes. He had three scars on the right of his face. He was holding kids and smiling as they giggled. Emma hugged him. The other had black kind of curly hair. He had yellow and black eyes, with white streaks of hair. He looked tired, but hugged Emma. 

"DAD!! PAPA!!" she yelled when she saw them. I got out of Norman's arms when they came over, I hugged them, and they hugged back. 

"Yuugo! Lucas! It's been awhile!"

"We're here because we heard about Isabella.." Lucas started, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"We're going to let you live with us." Yuugo said bluntly. I hugged them both tighter. Norman was confused as ever, so I explained. Lucas was hugging Emma and playing with all the little kids while Yuugo was sitting down in the grass. 

"Nor what was that call about?" I asked when we were alone. He fed me lunch, and kept making sure I was ok.

"Nothing!"

"...alright," I answered. He wiped my mouth when another car pulled up. Why so many cars? And today?! He went over to check and was shocked to see a white car with big bold print saying-

"MINERVA! THATS JAMES MINERVA'S CAR!!" Emma shouted so loudly, I think James could hear her. I stumbled outside as Norman was behind me, trying to keep me balanced. James came over and hugged Norman.

"Is this him?" He asked, his eyes going from a nauseating grey to a kind, warm, gentle, and soft grey. He looked at me with the warmest of smiles, like a little kid looking at a real life movie character. I looked back at him with my famous blank stare, wondering if he would back off, but instead he was more intrigued. "I see..you've chosen well Norman!" He shook my hand violently and hugged me tightly. 

"Uhh dad?"

"Yes Norman?"

"Did P-Peter come?!"

"I- well- yes..." he stammered, finally letting go. I groaned and almost fell, but Norman caught me. He lifted my shirt and looked at my back for the first time since the incident.

THIRD PERSON POV:

Ray's back was bruised, bloody, and kind of dirty. Norman immediately told his father they needed to take care of something while he was gawking over Emma, yet Emma matched his questions with her own. Anna and Ned came over to take care of Ray, so Norman went back to his dad. 

"Dad?"

"Yesss?"

"You didn't know, so it's not your fault." Norman started, trying to lay it down gently as he heard Ray's faint groaning. "But Ray's mom was abusing him because he was Homosexual and Gay- and we had to take care of him...he was starting to get better, but we normally don't hug him with that much force because his back is still delicate..."

"......."

"Dad?"

"IS HE OK?!"

"YES! YES! HE'S FINE!"

"Hello! Yes! I need you to get..." he paused and turned to Norman. "What does he like?"

"He likes old fashioned cameras and photography- preferably Polaroids- but you don't need to-"

"A Polaroid! That's it! Get one now! I want it here by.." he paused to check the time. "3:59."

"Dad! I said he's fine!"

"Norman, he's only 18. He doesn't know how to handle this pain. I doubt he has never been spoiled, so let me spoil him! He deserves it! The fact that you love him this much must mean he's a good person!"

"Ok ok!" Norman said, beginning to walk toward where his lover was groaning just as loudly as before. He went over and sat down next to him and let him squeeze his hand. "You'll be alright my Ray of Sunshine. I promise.." Norman said and kissed his forehead. Ray could only smile. But that was enough. "Just be as strong as you can be, ok?" Norman looked worried. "Just be strong my Sting Ray..."

"When were those nicknames made?" He asked with a weak smirk. 

"I don't know sunshine. You'll have to ask me, but I might not want to tell you." Norman said.

"Oh gosh! What could I do to make you tell me?"

"I don't know. Maybe we should go somewhere private to discuss." Norman said with a smirk. He lifted Ray and went to their shared cabin. 

An hour after, Ray came out with the messier hair than usual, and his shirt falling. Norman came out with a shirt that was wrinkled, and was a smiling mess. He went up to his dad. 

"Dad you can go now.." he said, almost falling onto James. 

"Norman-" he started when his eyes met Ray. DID THEY JUST— "Did you guys-" he made a motion with his hands to not alarm the kids. 

"Yes we did. We enjoyed every second." Ray was making flower crowns with Jemima, Cherry, Nyla, and Alicia. He braided flowers into Yvette's hair, and he made flower crowns for the girls. He laughed when a bee landed on Jemima's nose. Norman walked over and sat next to him. Cherry placed a flower crown on his head and started laughing.

"Do you like it?" She said, exasperated from laughing. 

"Yes. Did you make it?" He said, pinching her nose playfully.

"No! Ray did!" She said and clung herself onto Ray.

"Well, it's beautiful." He said and kissed Ray. All the little girls giggled at the action.

"Ooh Norman has a crush!!" Alicia shouted. 

"And so does Ray!" Yvette shouted, looking at the blushing dorks. She hoped onto Ray's lap and giggled when Ray slightly blushed. He laughed nervously and whispered into Norman's ear.

"She's  sitting on my-" Ray didn't need to finish his sentence. Norman immediately stood up and lifted Yvette and spun her around. She laughed really loud. He threw her up and caught her when Ray was making more flower crowns when he came back. He and the girls put them all on his head.
