Wanna Make You Mine.

"Because I like her and I would do anything to see her smile"

His eyes widened as he looked at Norman's figure, standing right in front of him, uttering those words with his usual tender smile.

<N-norm->
<Ray? Are you okay?> Emma asked when she saw the boy behave like that. he had been lost in that memory for who knows how long.

He looked down at Emma, still below him, trying to get back to reality.
He realized.

he got up quickly from the bed, while he put a hand in his hair
"What am I doing? What the hell is wrong with me?!>

Emma stood up, slowly approaching him <Ray what's wrong with you?>
But the raven retreated until he hit the wall with his back
<Emma I. I'm- I'm sorry>

he turned away trying to look away from her but saw his reflection in the mirror.
He looked at himself carefully.
He saw the torso, still uncovered, full of the hickeys that emma had left him.

The panic rose even more.
He felt terribly guilty

He felt a hand on his shoulder as he whirled around
"What do you mean?"
Again. Norman's figure appeared next to him again.
Another memory.
"You're my best friend, Ray!
I trust you! More than anyone! "

Warm tears fell from his face.
He put his hands to his head.

"... Norman ... what have I done to you ...
What kind of friend am I.... ?! "

Despair continued to rise.
He had betrayed him. He had betrayed his trust, his friendship.

<RAY !!>
Norman's figure disappeared, giving way to Emma's

She held his face with both hands as she looked at him with worried eyes.

<RAY ANSWER TO ME PLEASE>
<E-emma>
he blinked a couple of times recognizing the figure in front of him who smiled as she heard his voice

<.... thank god Ray.> she hugged him tightly
He did the same as his breathing returned regular.

He calmed down, but his guilt remained.
<Emma. I'm sorry> he pushed her away as he walked over to his shirt so he could wear it again.

<what happened to you? Do you feel bad? And "I'm sorry" for what?> She couldn't understand. She wanted answers.

Ray finished buttoning the last button on his shirt and headed for the door, followed by emma trying to stop him
<Ray wait. If I did something that offended you, forgive me. I didn't want->

He cut her off by putting a hand on her head and stroking her.
<Emma. It's my fault. Just .... Forget everything that happened, okay?>

And so he gave her a small smile and then closed the door behind him.

Emma leaned her back against the door and slid to the floor.
<forget what happened...huh...? Like if it's easy. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now haha. Just...what happened..>
a little ironic laugh came out before she could give vent to a myriad of tears that accompanied her throughout the night

<Good morning emma. Breakfast is ready and besides I wanted to ask you for advice- Emma?> Oliver knocked before opening the door of her room and bumping into something.
Or rather someone.

Emma had fallen asleep on the floor against the door. She hadn't slept all night and she had closed her eyes only when the sun began to rise

<Emma!?> Oliver tried to enter the room for what he could, approaching his friend
<Emma wake up!>
<mmh> she slowly opened her eyes trying to recognize the figure in front of her
<Oliver? What are you doing here?>
<What are you doing here on the floor? you did not have spent the night reading, didn't you?>

Emma got up still dazed as she remembered what had happened the night before.
She had to lie.

She smiled at him
<oh, I found an interesting book and I couldn't give up reading it> she put her hand behind her head.

Oliver chuckled at her as he held out his hand and helped her up.
<so? What do you need?> She asked him trying to keep her fake smile believable.

<oh yeah. I needed some advice on.... how to hunt>

It was true. in 4 days Emma's group would leave for the exploration of Cuvitidala and they had to look for more information and think about organizing everything necessary to survive.
The family then decided to help them by sharing the tasks. Some took care of helping them pack their backpack with the essentials for survival, while others took care of small expeditions involving hunting and gathering medicinal herbs.

Today was Oliver and Nigel's turn.

<sure oliver!I will tell you some basic tips you need to know but first ... breakfast!> she starting to run up the stairs.

Oliver was shocked but let out a laugh. She was emma after all.

She have to behave as usual.
And with those thoughts she ate breakfast.
Ray spoke just a few words to her. She didn't know what was happening to him but decided to give him some time anyway.

<do you think they fought again?> Don whispered to Gilda as they watched them discreetly.
<I don't know. But judging by their behavior it must be serious>

<Emma> oliver walked over to his friend and placed a hand on her shoulder.
She turned with her cheeks full of food as Ray listened intently
<yef Olifer?>
<are you done?>
She swallowed it all and gave him a smile
<yes we can go>

She stood up and together they walked to the weapons room, while Ray watched them leave the room sighing.

<okay something is definitely wrong here> said Gilda watching the scene. <come with me I have an idea>

Don was trying to bite his favorite croissant but he felt Gilda grab him by the collar and drag him with her, leaving the food on his plate, promptly stolen by thoma who was sitting next to him.

"Goodbye ... my sweet and creamy croissant"
