 [Y/N] had stopped working at Joey Drew Studios several years ago, although now the studio had been closed for years. They had worked in the music department as the assistant director, and was as close as one could get with Sammy Lawrence, which wasn't closer than friends. [Y/N] got along with most of their co-workers fairly well, if not helping Sammy out with his work load, they'd be finding ways to brighten everyone's mood. [Y/N] always tried their hardest to make sure everyone wasn't miserable, and that was something Norman Polk admired. [Y/N] always took time out of their day to talk to Norman, unlike many of their co-workers, and make him laugh at least once. [Y/N] and Norman became friends, and talked to each other more than they talked to anyone. After years of working together, the two were basically best friends. [Y/N] and Norman were rumored to date for months before they were actually together, and Sammy had to shove them into a closet to get them to confess. Afterwards, the two were spotted holding hands by several of their co-workers. Neither of the two were dependent on the other, but it wasn't too hard to see that they loved each other. On breaks, one would always be with the other.

 Though, when [Y/N] was found asleep at work, Joey fired them. They had been overworked, so much that they had lost their job after passing out. Norman wasn't too happy afterwards, and expressed that it wasn't [Y/N]'s fault, it was Joey's, but was warned if he continued he'd be fired as well. Most of the people that knew [Y/N] were fairly upset that they were fired, as well; after [Y/N] was fired, the workplace didn't seem as happy, and it wasn't. [Y/N] had made everyone's work days better, even Sammy's; They made sure the man didn't go insane by checking in on him, making sure he wasn't buried in his work load, but also knowing he hated distractions and didn't bother him too much. After [Y/N] was fired, everything got much worse. Though, Norman got to go home and see [Y/N] everyday, he still expressed how everyone wished they'd come back.

 Eventually Norman stopped coming home.

 [Y/N] never got over him, even when they were invited back to Joey Drew Studios, they weren't over him. [Y/N] always had a feeling that Joey was behind Norman's disappearance, especially after Sammy disappeared as well, and that's why they came back. When [Y/N] entered the building for the first time in years, they hadn't expected to be attacked by a living Bendy, but once they entered their beloved music department, they finally cried. After hearing Sammy's message, they had their hand over their mouth in shock. They continued on soon after, the first place they went was the projector room. Clicking play on the recorded tape, [Y/N] heard a voice they would never forget.

 "Norman..." [Y/N] whispered, staring at the [wedding/promise] ring on their left hand.

 [Y/N] also took a moment to look at the jacket that they wore over their, now ink stained, white blouse. It was Norman's. They sighed, and continued on.

-_-_-_-

 Apparently, Alice Angel is also alive. She'd made [Y/N] do errands for her, and now they had to collect ink hearts? Alice started talking about 'The projectionist', and once [Y/N] saw the human like figure of ink, with a projector on his head, something felt off. They'd seen Sammy, but their conversation with an old friend, wasn't on very great terms, especially since he was trying to kill them. [Y/N] had seen what he'd become, and now seeing 'The projectionist' horrified them. [Y/N] played another audio recording, it was another of Norman. They took a deep breath, and quietly let it out, walking into what seemed like a maze. [Y/N] found another heart, but heard something approaching. They saw a light out of the corner of their eye and panicked. The projectionist chased them into a corner, and [Y/N] turned, back against the wall. They didn't want to hurt him if it was Norman, and it felt like their suspicions were confirmed as he stopped in his tracks once he saw their face. The light coming from the projector dimmed slightly, as a suffocated noise almost sounding like he was trying to speak came from the speaker on his chest.

 Tears rolled down [Y/N]'s face, "Norman?"

Norman nodded, and [Y/N] sobbed. Another noise came from the speaker, he was trying to speak. [Y/N] reached out and put their hand on the side of the projector, as Norman leaned into it.

 "My god, Norman, i'm so sorry." [Y/N] sobbed.

Norman's speaker crackled once again, as he put his inky hand over [Y/N]'s. He leaned his projector head on [Y/N]'s head.

 "I l-lo- you." Norman's distorted voice came from his speaker in pieces.

 "I love you, too." [Y/N] spoke.

-End-

I wrote this in like 3? maybe 4 hours? but I really wanted to do this, because Norman needs more love tbh. I'm much prouder of the first part than the second, anything after [Y/N] went to the studio just felt bleh. I'm fairly proud of the rest though.
 Anyway, thanks for reading!

Derpy out.
