-Chapter 69: Mesmerising Memories-

"GOᗪ I ᒪOᐯE YOᑌ." [A/N: "GOD I LOVE YOU."]

"M-Michael..." You stammered slightly from shock, not expecting such idolisation to be stemming from the stalker in the middle of the night. "What are you doing!? You're just going to piss off the others! Especially—"

"I...I knew it!" The very person you were quickly going to warn Michael about popped up and interrupted you instead; tears of hurt pricking at the edges of Norman's eyes. "S-So this is why you always try and stay the closest to (Y/n)-!"

"Norman hold on!" You panicked, pushing away from Michael's passionate hold as you faced the younger male nervously. "It was nothing but a hug, that's all."

"N-No-!" Norman stamped his foot on the floor and started frantically losing it, now growing worked-up in the process. "H-He hugged you like that on purpose, (Y/n)-! To...To get between us! Michael's nothing but a...b-but a—"

"—Norman, honey, listen to me." Softly cupping his cheeks, you soothed his childish tantrum and caressed his skin with both thumbs - slowly shushing him. "Don't focus on Michael so much. Didn't you say you wanted to go and walk around Camp Crystal Lake together?"

"W-Well yeah, but—!"

"Well how is walking around the lake together going to happen if you don't calm down and take control of the situation?" You delicately pointed out - doing your best to distract Norman by directing his attention towards you and away from Michael.

"Why don't you think of this as a...a date then? Y'know, to...to cheer me up from the nightmare that Freddy gave me." You lied dramatically, praying that your little exaggeration would excite the emotional boy and pacify the unnecessary chaos.

"W-We're going on a...on a date!?" Norman slowly double-checked in delight, switching moods entirely while he flung his arms around your neck and nuzzled into your shoulder cutely.

"Yes! Exactly." You purposely curled your arms around him in return and hugged him close; wanting to make sure that Norman felt as special as Michael did whilst the three of you waited for—

"—Norman, at least try and control yourself." Hannibal sighed after appearing in middle of the hallway; traces of irritation trickling through his tone as he sternly placed one hand Norman's shoulder from behind. "Blaming Michael for supposedly wanting to drive a wedge between you and (Y/n) isn't very pleasant."

"B-But I wasn't—!"

"All that aside, my most sincere apologies on making you wait for so long, mio bel petalo." Hannibal turned his attention over to you instead and sweetly apologised; using his other hand to raise yours up and plant a very gentle kiss upon the top.

Trying your best to ignore your uneven heartbeat and heated-up cheeks, you tried your best to remember the previous events that had taken place and became stressed. "No problem." You timidly brushed his words off while opening the front door, wanting nothing more than to just visit Jason and calm down.

"Oh (Y/n), I-I'm so happy-!" Norman chatted in a bubbly tone of voice, sliding his fingers through yours as his feelings instantly changed. "W-We're going o-on another date-! I-Isn't this exciting-?"
