Pains; Emotionally, Mentally, Physically

Norman ╰(*'︶'*)╯♡

I woke up with Ray's arms around my neck, I smiled and attempted to get up. Ray's arms weren't the problem, more like my back. I fucking hate osteoporosis. I got up groggily and put on some sweats. I was too lazy to put on a shirt, so I went to the kitchen and heated up a pancake. I sat down, the back of the chair putting considerable pressure on my back. I groaned, but ignored it. I began eating and got up to wash the dish. I ended up stopping sharply and held the table while my head was spinning. The plate shattered, but I couldn't care less. I felt horrible for yelling Ray's name, for I didn't want to bother him. He came running and helped me walk to the couch. He set me down carefully and put a blanket on me. He rubbed my head, which felt good. 

Ray ✌︎('ω')✌︎

I felt bad for Norman. He must've had osteopenia when he was younger, because this condition was rare for his age. I really hope he doesn't have any fractures. I decided to call Anna, since she and Norman were the only ones I knew with nursing, or a medical degree.

Calling Anna(╹◡╹)♡...

Anna(╹◡╹)♡: hey ray ray what'd you need?

Ray✌︎('ω')✌︎: Norman's back is hurting..I was wondering if you could come over? I wouldn't call the doctors, cause I don't think he'd want to move.

Anna(╹◡╹)♡: ofc! What position is he in?

Ray✌︎('ω')✌︎: he's lying on his back with his head on my lap.

Anna(╹◡╹)♡: ok, I'm on my way. He needs to change position, and I'll tell you what to do while I'm away

Ray✌︎('ω')✌︎: Ok he's also asleep-

Anna(╹◡╹)♡: Try keeping him awake with questions, and turn his body so there's less strain on his back.

Ray✌︎('ω')✌︎: (offscreen) hey nor you wanna answer some stuff?

Norman nodded, so I turned his body a little. I placed a pillow below his head and put Anna on speaker.

(Phone Speaker:)

Anna(╹◡╹)♡: Hi! Can you answer some questions? Also, Ray, a heating pad or a hot water bottle would be good for his back. If you have either, that is. If not, I'll tell you how to make something else.

I ran to look for the heating pad Norman had lying around. I grabbed the cord and yanked it out of the crevice. I ran back and plugged it in. Norman was giggling and Anna was cracking jokes. She's a good doctor. If I were not gay, I'd marry her in a heartbeat. But I am, and I have someone very special. I took the now hot heating pad and went over to Norman. Luckily the couch is near an outlet. I went next to him.

"Hey nor? Where does it hurt?"

"My back.."

"Where on your back?" He shrugged while I tried so hard not to get frustrated and blow up at him. I nodded and put it on his lower back. "Here?" He nodded and when I cranked up the heat, he smiled.

"That feels so good..."

"Oop Anna's here-" I ran to the door, slammed it open and ran back to Norman. I rubbed small circles on the heating pad. His smile turned into the biggest grin I'd ever seen. It was honestly adorable. I heard the door click, Anna probably locking it. She came over and sat near Norman.

"How's the patient?" She said, patting Norman's head. He flashed a small smile at her. 

"Pain's getting bad..but ray ray is making it better.." Anna handed me a small bottle.

"What's this?"

"Medication..I got it from the office under Norman's name so it would be right for him. You can read it if you want to approve. I already went through, and it seemed to be perfect for this situation." I nodded and read through. I nodded again and handed it to her. She popped it open and took out 2. She handed them to Norman and he swallowed them. 

"What're the side effects?"

"He might get a little loopy and act like a toddler when he's frustrated, but other than that he's his normal old self. Just a warning, 2 pills a day. Any more could permanently damage him." I nodded and kept the pill bottle out of his reach. I was the only one who knew where it was. I thanked Anna and hugged her. I gave her a small peck on the forehead and waved. I shut the door softly and went over to Norman. 

"How are you feeling?"

"Like a murderer killing a victim.."

"..."

"What're we doing here?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"What're we doing here?"

"Why do you ask..?"

"Cause I don't know what we're doing here."

"We live here-"

"We?"

"Me and you."

"You and I." He corrected. I lost it.

"IVE BEEN TRYING TO BE PATIENT, AND THIS IS SHOCKING FOR ME, SO PLEASE JUST SHUT UP!!" I  covered my mouth and he listened. We cuddled, and by the time it was 'bedtime', Norman wasn't loopy anymore. 

"Hey ray ray? I wanted to apologize about not telling you right away."

"No no it's ok. You were scared, I get it. Now get your ass over here." I said, opening my arms in a welcoming manner, he climbed in with me, and though much to my annoyance, he spooned me. I got a text from Anna saying he did not have a fracture. I sighed out of relief and cuddled into him, careful around his back.

Will Norman be frustrated? Who knows. Oh yeah and he had osteopenia when he was a kid, so yk, that increased the risk of him getting osteoporosis. Young age, feeble body. No he didn't have a fracture, and yes, this is going to last over three months. Probably like 8 or somethin'
