NormanXEmma:Loving you || The Promised Neverland Fanfiction

Chapter 21

"W-waiit, a-are you s-seriouuuus??!!"

Emma's green eyes widened with surprise, her face flushed with what he just said. Norman's cheeks were visibly tinted pink as well, but he managed to smile at her, showing that he was serious and sincere.

"I do like you so much, Emma. But no pressure, take all the time you need. "

That only made the gingerhead flushed than she already was. Norman himself, told her that he wants to take it slow. A true gentleman hm?
If only he didn't say that, Emma would have gave her 'Yes' and make their relationship official. But yeah, she got his point. There's no use in rushing things, it's better to know each other more than they already do, so they can form a much stronger bond.

Emma nodded her head, face still flushed.

"H-hai. Alright.."

That answer, made Norman felt so much relief. He just dropped the bomb. There was no turning back but the girl he likes so much didn't reject him at all, and based from the reactions she emitted, it seems like his intuition was right that she likes him too.

'Thanks goodness. What did I do to deserve you?' He thought, smiling gently at Emma.

"Alright, then.. let's go? I'll walk you home."

She noodded and cheerfully walked besides him. From their faces, you could see the joy in their hearts. Their stares are proof that their feelings will eventually bloom into something more beautiful one day..

The next morning, Tuesday

"Ohayooo!!" The usual voice bombarded the classroom.

"Morning Emma."

"Ohayoo~"

"Good morning, Emma!"

"What's with such a happy face Antenna?"

Different reactions made her smile, but her green eyes scanned the classroom, looking for a certain someone.

"Good morning, Emma."

She was taken aback when someone behind her spoke. It was Norman. He gave her his usual gentle smile which made the gingerhaired girl blush ferociously.

"O-oh, ohayo Normaan!" She greeted back, and both entered the classroom with happy faces which made Ray, Gilda and Don raised a brow.
Instead of going to their respective seats, Emma and Norman just put down their bags and went outside, still talking with each other.

When the two is out of their sight, Gilda and Don rushed over to Ray's direction with wide eyes.

"SHIT RAY, YOU SAW THAT DIDN'T YOU?! YOUR PLAN WOR-"

"You don't have to be so loud Don! What's the purpose of us going to Ray's seat when you'll just yell like that? Tch."

Gilda cutted him off and scolded the boy who are currently muttering something under his breathe.

"I don't think so, Don. Even if I didn't tell him I like Emma, Norman will do it on his own. He just needs a little push because that coward is just.. Ugh."

Ray reacted, still unbelievably shock at his assumptions that the two are possibly dating already.
He just told Don and Gilda, that he locked Norman and himself inside the bathroom and confessed that if he didn't make things right, he'll be the one to court Emma.

"But ya know.. " Ray started.

"What I've said to Norman could be true, about me courting Emma."

That surprised Gilda and Don. Well, no one would expect that. Gilda already assumed it before, but hearing it from Ray himself just brought a greater impact.

"W-WAIT, WHAT D-DO YOU MEAN???!"

Ray boredly look at Don, explaining himself.

"There's a huge possibility that I'd like Antenna. But when I found out that Norman is shit inlove with her, the feelings faded. So maybe I was just infatuated with her kindness and brain. That's it lol. Nothing serious. I just feel like telling you guys that. I'm honestly happy for the two of them. I finally consider myself as their wingman."

Ray proudly stated, completely ignoring Don's retort and shocked reaction with what he just said.

"Alright, just update us later with 'what's up' with Emma and Norman. Let's go Don, bell's gonna ring in a bit."

Gilda dragged the said boy with her, and when they returned to their seats, Emma and Norman arrived. The white haired boy carrying two loaded folders.
She went back to her chair, Ray throw a small paper at her 'Antenna' which made him look at him.

"Huh?! What..?!"

She whisper-shouted making him smirk.

"You're already together?"

With his question, Emma blushed.

'I see.'

"N-no! We are not! Grr.."

"Yeah right, sure sure. Idiot." Ray laughed, but maybe what she said was true, they are not dating yet. They are just in this courtship level, but that's a good start. He's happy for Norman and Emma. Eventually, both of them will be dating each other soon.

soon..
