Ray x Norman Noray The Promised Neverland

Norman and Ray

I was in the libary again. Reading a book I had already read many times. But I found the book just as interesting each time. Similar to Norman. Who I've know my whole life. Yet somehow he always manages to surprise me. Like how he's been wanting hugs more frequently. I thought the whole 'wanting a hug' thing would be a one time deal. But lately he's been giving me hugs almost every day. I'm not bothered by it......but it is strange for Norman. Usally it's the younger kids who give me hugs so casually. But they are just hugs. So it's not a big deal right?

But still......even if it isn't I can't help but feel.....happy? Is that the right word? Or is it more of a feeling of appreciation? I don't know..... Norman always manages to leave me guessing. I never know with him. Suddenly,as if on cue, Norman walk in scanning the room. He stop when he saw me and smile. "Hey Ray." I smiled back, but I'm sure whatever look was on my face must of been akward. "Hey.....? Do you need something?" Norman looked confused but shrugged it off. "No....? I just wanted to see you is all." I couldn't help but feel strangely sick and happy at the same time. What a dumb feeling this is. I wish it would go away. But at the same time I don't want it to.

Norman sat next to me on the floor. He seemed tired. "You okay?" I asked growing concerned. "Hmm?" Norman processed what I said and shook his head. "I'm fine. Don wanted to play tag and I suppose I got tried out."I noded and tried to continue reading but with someone siting right next to me it made it hard to focus. I snuck quick glances at Norman. His white, snowy hair was slightly a mess. I fought the urge to fix his hair because it's normally neat. Without thinking I reach a hand over a bursh his hair off to the side of his face. Norman was startle but allowed me to finish fixing his hair. Playing with his hair was actually more of what I was doing. But Norman seemed happy with it? I was just fixing his hair......it's not a big deal. But the dummy had a goffy smile on his face.

I spent the rest of the day alone with Norman in the libary. Surprisingly he didn't seem bored. If anything he seemed happy to spend time with me. Even if all we were doing was talking about the most random things. I won't say it aloud,but secretly I was just as happy.
