Diamond Eyes [Promised Neverland x F! Reader]

Exit

"Good morning!" Phil happily greeted as he runs along the hallway.

"Hey Phil! No running!" Gilda scolded while arranging the plates with Anna.

Emma's quietly arranging the plates, and stops when he hears Isabella's voice. Her expression turning scared as she turns around and look at Isabella, still horrified at what happened last night.

She took a nervous gulped before noticing Norman with two little girls. He greets her with a smile, "Good morning, Emma!"

She couldn't even response back, still thinking about last night as she watches him walk towards her. "Smile, Emma." He whispers.

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!"

Emma's eyes widen as she hears your usual energetic tone. Watching you bolt out in the hallway with a grin, darting your eyes around looking for someone before meeting her own. Your grin got wider as you run towards Emma with full-speed.

"Emma! Good morning!" You tightly hug her, picking her up and swinging her around while laughing.

Norman was slightly taken back before saying, "(Y/N)! Stop that, you're gonna make Emma dizzy." He lightly scolds.

"Hehehe~ okie."

As soon as you put down the dizzy Emma, she looks confused and shock at your behavior. '(Y/N) is...normal.' She thought while staring at you.

You, Norman and Emma are currently inside your room after Norman held a meeting.

"Listen, Emma, (Y/N). We have to behave like we normally do. Yesterday, we broke the rules and went to the gate. But we didn't find anything."

'Oh! Oh! We're gonna be like spies! I love it!' You thought, getting excited at the idea of it.

Emma mutters, remembering that she accidentally dropped Conny's bunny, "But Little Bunny..."

"Yeah, Mama probably found it. But she doesn't know who left it there."

Emma added in a shaky whispered voice, "Mama was smiling. She doesn't show it on her face at all."

Norman reply with confidence, "And that's what we have to do, too." He added, "If our faces shows it, Mama will notice." Norman smiles as he finished, "We can't lose, let's smile."

"Yup! Yup! Let's smile! Let your teeth show Emma!" You exclaimed with a grin and started pulling the corners of Emma's mouth up to imitate a smile.

"(Y-Y/N), O-Okhay you can r-ret go..."

Norman watches you both, more focused on you as he thinks at your rather... normal behavior, 'I thought (Y/N) would definitely be the most down out of Emma and I, considering that she was the most shocked and quiet yesterday. I even had a feeling that, she's the one who's gonna struggle the most to act normal...but she's still her usual self like nothing happened yesterday. It caught me slightly off that she's not acting like Emma, but I guess I can never predict (Y/N), huh?'

Emma rubs her soar cheeks before saying in a sad tone, "The delicious food, the white clothes where dirt can easily stand out, the well-regulated life..." She moves her hand to the left side of her neck, where her number "63194" is tattooed on. "This is all to maintain our quality as merchandise."

She continued, "The only thing we can do is to wait as we are shipped out indiscriminately."

'Indiscriminately? What does that mean?' You tilted your head at the not-so-used-everyday word.
