POV

Ray leaned against the wall, looking at Norman.

"I'm sorry... for what happened. I'm still sorry for yelling at you,"
Norman said.

Ray didn't say anything for a while. Then he sighed.

"You're just looking for more ways to have moments and things... for only the two of you,"
He stated.

"No, Ray..."
Norman muttered.

"Cuz that's what it feels like everyone is trying to do!"
Ray then yelled, balling his hands into fists.

Norman's eyes widened slightly, but he tried to reason with him.

"Ray... no one's trying to do that,"
Norman said.

"I don't believe it,"
He growled.

"Ray-"

"Everywhere I turn, there's always someone, Norman! No matter what I do to try to show that she's my girlfriend,"
He muttered.

"I know you're scared of losing her..."
Norman started.

"Of course I am! I'm scared!"
Ray exclaimed, taking in a deep breath.

"I want her to be happy, Norman... so if she ever decides she's not happy with me.
I'll let her leave me. But I want to spend this time... now. That I have with her,"
He said.

It made sense to Norman, why he had gotten so stressed over this.

They saw Peter die. They saw Mama die.
It must've made Ray worry... worry that any day Y/n would leave.

"Ray... I promise, I'm not trying to make her somehow love me. I would never do that to you,"
He stated.

Ray shook nervously, but he knew it was true.

"R-Right. I'm sorry, for this,"
Ray said.

"It's all right, no worries. And... I'm still sorry.
I just... felt that I had to protect her in that moment. But instead, I lashed out on you-"

"It's all right. I understand."

"W-We're good?"

"Of course we are, baka."

Reader's POV

Emma pulled me aside.
She looked worried.

"Y/n, remember when Catradora became canon?"
she asked.

I raised a brow in confusion.
"What...? Cat-what?"
I asked. What was that?

She looked stunned.
"In the She-ra show! You don't remember?"
she asked.

Damn it...
I shook my head.
"N-No."

She nodded slightly, then...

"Y/n, you don't hate me, right?"
She asked.

I blinked rapidly, stunned and confused.
"Why on earth would you think that?"
I asked.

Her bottom lip quivered and I regretted my word choice.

"B-Because... I kissed you, I think that's what it's called, and then everything got awkward!"
She exclaimed.

"Emma, nothing has changed,"
I said softly.

She looked stunned, she was frowning.
"R-Really?"

"Yeah..."
I said with a smile.

"S-So, you're not mad or uncomfortable that I like?"
She paused.
"Like you?"

"Of course not, Emma..."
I muttered.

She continued to rant.
"What if everyone hates me because I like you?! As in you, I mean girls!
What if they think it's weird? What if,"
She gasped.
"What if they disown me?!"

"Emma, no! That won't happen.
We all love you, as you.
They have no business in who you like, they can't control that.
Plus, we're family, Emma. They'll never ever hate you,"
I said softly.

She relaxed instantly.
"Thank you for saying that, Y/n.. you make everything much more better."
She said in relief.

I nodded with a smile.
She patted my head, kissed my cheek, then skipped off.
I stared in confusion.

.

Emma banged her head on the wall, groaning.

"What's wrong, Emma?"
Violet asked.

"I didn't even ask if she likes girls!!"
Emma exclaims.

Violet bursts into laughter.
"Oh, Emma."
