Dear Norman || The Promised Neverland ✔

Norman's POV

  I catch her in my arms but both of us still fall on the grassy field from the impact of her falling. She smiled and give me an apple, I told her that we should wash it inside the house before eating the fruit. She nodded her head like an innocent child, we both entered the house and I help her to wash the fruit. Slicing it and sharing them with her, while eating, I noticed some dirt on her cheeks, she probably got it from climbing the tree. Clumsy girl.

"Come here." I said to her while still eating a slice of apple, she look at me with a pair of confused eyes before going in front of me.

"What is it? Do you want more? You know, I can climb up the tree again and get you lot of apples!" She said while smiling so wide, I giggled and remove the dirt on her cheeks with my thumb.

"N-Norman..." She blushed and looked away from my eyes.

  We only stayed like that for a minute, with awkward air around us,cheeks blushing with pink tints on them, her lips suddenly flashed me a small smile and it only made things worse for me! She really needs to stop being so cute, I looked away and her small smile turns into a giggle and into a burst of laughter.

"Damn, your cheeks are really red, Norman!" She said while laughing.

"Stop it." I whispered and hide my face with my two hands, she only snake her arm around my shoulder before pulling me out the kitchen.

  For a moment, I forgot about my blushing cheeks as I also put an arm around her shoulder, laughing with her jokes as we talk while walking out the house. Mom saw us but ignored our presence, she only smiled and went back on taking care of our younger siblings. I slowly pull away from her and said that I'll be going with Emma and Ray, she only smiled before waving her hand.

Emma told me that she can help by finding clues about the tracking devices when Gilda and Her will help mom with the babies, I think Carol can help us with it too since she's just a baby, she so young that the demons might left some marks on her. I sighed, I'm getting frustrated because mom is giving us a hard time, she's tossing us to a corner, showing us that she's a lot more powerful than us. Ray told me to calm down, I did but it doesn't work a lot, he only shook his head before the three of us walked outside the forest.

  Emma and I ended up talking about plans again, I'm so happy that we can at least get some clues about the tracking device and if we did found out about it, then we can work with breaking the device. I look around to see Ray talking to the light blue haired girl, it seems that they're talking about something serious, I could see her uncomfortable under his gaze and it's making me worried but then, I trust her, she's not really good with words if it comes to other people but this will help her to improve her communicating skills.

"Are you listening, Norman?" Suddenly, Emma snap me out of my own world.

"Sorry, what is it again?" I ask and smiled, she only shook her her and pointed her finger towards Ray and the girl.

"You're totally not focused, do you have a crush on Ray or something?" She ask and I only blush in embarrassment, she misunderstood!

"No! It's not like that, I'm just wondering what they're talking about!" I said while waving my hand around, being defensive.

"I'm just kidding!" She said while laughing, I only looked away.

  After talking with Emma, I helped our siblings to prepare our dinner and again, she's not here to eat with us. It always bother me, I always wanted to ask mom about her but she's always changing the topic with a stern gaze. As I finished eating, I also help with washing the plates and helping my siblings to prepare for their sleep.
