Ray x Norman Noray The Promised Neverland

late night talking

Auther here! So I decided not to put the demond's just because I think I think it will make more room for the fluffy romance.🤍😊🤍

All the children had begun to to get ready for bed. It was storming outside. So we were all forced to come inside early. Many of the younger children were afraid of the lightning and thunder. Phil was the only one who wasn't scared and did his best to confort his friends. Once everyone was tucked in bed,mom sang a song for them to fall asleep to. It was a song mom would sing just for me. But over time she began to sing for all of the children. She always somehow always manged to calm you down with a simple melody......

I layed in my bed and tried to go to sleep. But I couldn't no matter how much I tried. I wasn't sure why. Mabye it had to do with the storm? Altho that didn't make much since becuase I always found the rain to be peaceful. I looked around and saw everyone else apeard to be sleeping. Sleeping peaceful, unaware of the terrors that creep in the world. Here at Gracefield, children can live happily knowing ther care for. At Gracefield, children don't need to worry about the future or the terrors that followed. They can simply be children and live out their best days.

So why is something bothering me? Why do I feel as if something or someone has changed? Maybe I'm worrying over nothing...... Or maybe it's the feeling of summer turning into fall. That has to be it right? What else could it be?

A few minute time skip

My head began filling with unnecessary thoughts that seemed to be endless. Random thoughts over random things that were useless to me. But I for some reason couldn't get rid of them. I heard shuffling coming from behind me. Suddenly I felt someone tap my shoulder. I figured it was one of the littler kids still startled by the storm. But when I turned around I saw Norman.

"You scared by the storm to???" I asked in a joking manner. Norman gave me a strange look before understanding it was a joke and shoke his head. "Then why are you awake?" Norman shrugged and climed in my bed next to me. I wasn't surprised because we had scared a bed when we were younger, but it was still a bit weird. "What are you doing?" I asked moveing over a bit. "I'm cold." Norman whined like a child. I handed Norman the covers and wachted as he wraped them around himself and curled up in a ball. "I couldn't sleep." Norman said tierdly. "Then why did you come to bother me?" Norman knows my 'humor' and knew I wasn't serious. "I saw you were awake and figured you couldn't sleep as well. So I thought I would come talk to you." I humed in understandment. "Well you seem tierd." Norman took the blanket off his head,just enough for me to see his face. "I am. But still can't sleep. I've tried." I humed in response again and we layed there silently for a few moments. R: "Hey Norman?" N: "Yeah?" R: "How do you feel about your life?" N: "What do you mean?" R: "You know, how do you feel about living here,and being with the other kids and mom?" Norman was silent for a moment before he begain to chuckled softly. N: "Well.....I'm very happy here. And grateful for the loveing home. Mom has always tooken the best care of us, and she loves us as if we're her own. What more can I say? Being here is dream." I looked away from Norman but didn't say anything. N: "Ray, are you happy?" I was surprised. I didn't expect Norman to ask a question like that. Especially so straight forward. I turned around and started at Norman but I couldn't mange to say anything. Why couldn't I say anything? I am happy. I just.....don't know. I have a great life here......so what's my problem? "It's okay. You don't need to answer." Norman said quietly as he closed his eyes. Dispite what Norman said I still felt bad for not saying anything. I should of said yes.

But I didn't. Why?

I looked over at Norman and saw he was sound asleep. I wish he would of went back to his bed before falling asleep. I sighed with annoyance but I wont wake him. He needs his sleep and I need mine. I pulled the covers up to my chin and before long I fell into a deep sleep.
