Trapped into an “Unfair Promise”

part 2/5

—-> Previous —-> Next

If you read the manga you will recognize Gillian's words. Like I said, this comic is meant to be a set up for future events!

I think also Emma is not the classic clueless main characters of shonens. From the manga evidence we never  really saw her being naive or clueless towards Norman's feelings or love. Until chapter 161 only Ray realized, then probably many others but Norman was never really so obvious towards Emma. Their interactions are naturally intimate on both sides and Emma is really spontaneous with her gestures and words. Thought those are manners she only has for him and she has always been really open about her desires when it comes to Norman.  My thoughts are that she indeed reciprocates and she probably is even aware of it and deep inside even of his feelings. We have so many hints about that. She just doesn't have the time to think about it, seen how the plot is going on. In this situation, she just has a moment to face those feelings and aknowledge them. :3

Bad Hair Day (Noremma Week - Day 7: Free Day)

  Norman knocked on the door a few times before slowly opening it. Inside the room was Emma, she stared at the mirror in front of her with an expression of frustration on her face.

  “Is something wrong?” Norman asked, as he walked through the door. The redhead then turned around, facing him.

  “It's my hair. No matter how hard I try, it's still a mess.” she answered, as she pointed to the rebellious threads. “What should I do?”

  “Hm...” Norman put his hand on his chin and thought for a few minutes. “Maybe I can help.” he smiled and walked until he reached the right side of the redhead.

  “How?”

  “Well, I don't know much about hairstyles. But I've seen Anna braid her hair when we were still living in Grace Field, so I think I can do a braid.”

  Having said that, the albino separated Emma's hair into wicks, soon after he began to braid them slowly, so she wouldn't run the risk of damaging the braid. He finished in a few minutes, tying the end of the braid with a rubber band that the redhead had given him.

  “Done! Now close your eyes, I'll take you to the mirror.” Emma nodded and closed both eyelids, then was guided by the albino to the front of the mirror. “Now you can open it.”

  As soon as she opened her eyes, she held the braid with one hand and her eyes lit up. “It is perfect!” Emma turned and hugged Norman, who returned the gesture. “Thank you.” she moved away from the hug and kissed the albino's lips.

  “You don't have to thank me, I just did my duty as your future husband.” he answered, giving another kiss to Emma.

  “What do you two think you're doing?!” their attention turned to the door where Gilda was, the girl was looking at them with an expression that was not good. “I've told you a thousand times that bride and groom can't see each other before the wedding.” Gilda walked heavy steps to the couple and started pushing Norman out of the room.

  “I'll meet you at the wedding.” he said to Emma, before he was completely expelled.

  “I'll be the one in white.” said the redhead, laughing.

                                               [...]

  As soon as it was time for the bride's entrance, all the guests stood up and watched the girl being led to the altar by Ray. There was some whispering about how beautiful Emma was and some of the guests were so excited that they began to cry.

  The redhead smiled all along the way, staring at Norman, who in turn had eyes only for the bride. When they reached the altar, Ray handed Emma to Norman and smiled, patting his friend on the back, then joined the rest of the guests.

  “You look beautiful.” The albino whispered to her.

  “Only thanks to you.”

  “I don't think I deserve that much credit. After all, you'd still be beautiful even without any hair.” the two laughed discreetly and joined hands then turned towards the priest, officially starting the ceremony.

To Listen and To Understand [a TPN fanfic]

(NorEmmaWeek2019 day #1, prompt: Drama/Breakdown) -.-.- Rating: T Pair: NorEmma Wordcount: 1k+ Tag(s): Modern AU, Couple Fighting, Anxiety Issues, Fluff & Hurt/Comfort Summary: Norman and Emma had their first couple fight, and Norman's growing anxiety didn't help. A/N: Cross-posted on AO3 -.-.-

The neighborhood was peacefully quiet. The morning was still earl enough for a weekend. Yet, in one of the apartments in the building, it was already loud with a pair of engaged couple arguing.

“All I want is for you to contact me every once in a while! Just send text or something. Can you understand that I’m very worried about you?!”

“You’re the one who need to understand that I am too an adult! I’m not a kid that you should be worrying about every other hour!”

“I really care about you, Emma… That’s why—”

“NO! You always say that you’ll listen but you’re always being paranoid again!”

“You’re often coming home late, even almost morning! How am I supposed not to worry?! You the crime rate in big cities like here are—”

“I have FRIENDS, Norman!”

“And I KNOW! All I want is for you to—”

“NO! STOP! We’re only going back and forth again! I think we really need a break now.”

Norman sighed frustratedly. He racked his mind to find the right words. But before he could come up with anything, his fiancé already grabbed her jacket and strolled towards the door.

“Wha– Wait, Emma! Where are you going?!”

Emma paused and forced a deep breath before managing the words out through her gritted teeth. “Taking a fresh air, Norman.”

With just that simple explanation, the girl walked outside without sparing a glance back.

Norman sighed again. He knew that couple fighting each other is supposed to be a normal thing. Being a couple is like mixing up two different minds, personalities, and ideals, and somehow making it work in the process. Besides, people argue all the time, after all. But still, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the least tiring and frustrating to having fight with the person he loved the most.

‘It’s okay. Emma will come back before I realize it.’ Norman tried to calm himself.

Turned out, calming himself while having a fight with his lover was an almost impossible feat, as Norman bitterly found out. Just some hours after Emma gone, his mind already filled with the worst possibilities.

‘Is Emma okay out there? Did she bring her phone? Did she bring enough money? Oh no, her phone is being charged in the nightstand. She didn’t have a phone with her! What if she needs an emergency or something? Should I go out and search for her? But what if she becomes even more upset at me for coming after her? But she might really need her phone! I don’t even know where she is right now. Oh no! She could be having an accident and all injured up somewhere and she wouldn’t have her phone to contact anyone—’

Norman shook his head.

‘No. No. No negative thinking like that. Emma already said I’m always being too paranoid. But I just want her to be safe… I just want to be able to always look after her… But that’s what making her upset, isn’t it? Oh no. What if she got tired of me and really want to break up? But… But… She accepted my proposal. She said yes, back then. It…it…wasn’t my imagination, right? She really said ‘yes,’ right? But that doesn’t mean she couldn’t change her mind anytime. And…and she said about taking a break, right? Oh my God… I really made her upset, didn’t I? I made her so upset that she feels she needs a break from me… I-I’m…I’m making Emma so upset…’

Norman bit his lip. His hand on his coffee cup trembled. Somehow, the thought of upsetting Emma felt even more horrible than the possibility of her wanting to break up with him. He had hurt the girl he loved so much. He had failed her.

Norman still remembered the day he placed that engagement ring on Emma’s finger. The day he asked her to let him become the man who would bring her happiness. The day he expressed his gratefulness for her always being by his side, and sworn that he’ll always be the best for her if she chose him to spend the rest of her life with. He had sworn to her, yet here he was, failing her.

He had failed. He had failed. He had hurt Emma and making her so disappointed and Emma really didn’t deserve this. Emma deserved happiness and someone who could make her happy and maybe it really wasn’t him. Maybe he had been really too presumptuous and just assuming he deserved her. But Emma deserved the best. Emma deserved better than him. Emma should—

“…Norman?”

Came the sound of a door being creaked open. Emma walked inside their shared bedroom. Her eyes immediately flew open.

“N-norman!”

She hurriedly taking off her jacket before prying his fingers from the empty cup on his hand. …’Since when it was empty?’

Emma circled her arms around his shoulders and buried her face in his hair.

“E-emma…?”

“Shh…” Emma mumbled into his ear. Her face pressing on his temple. “It’s okay… I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.”

Norman could feel her breath tickled his ear. It’s warm. Emma was so warm. Emma always so warm. He relished himself in that warmth and felt his muscles and breathing immediately relaxed. It’s weird. He didn’t even realize that his body was so tense.

“I-I’m sorry…” he muttered.

He brought his arm to return the embrace, wanting give her the same warmth too, wanting her to know how much he treasured her and always grateful for her and—

“I know,” Emma whispered.

He could hear her smile through that kind tone.

“I know,” Emma repeated. “I’m sorry too. For forgetting about your anxiety.”

“It’s not—”

Emma shook her head and pulled back slightly. Her smile was so kind—the same smile that he had fell in love with. Her fingers treading through his hair in placating gesture.

“We’re both got too worked up,” Emma said softly. “Everything’s okay. We both just got too worked up with everything and threw out our piled up frustration to each other. I came to realize it, after I took time to cool my head outside.”

“So…we’re okay?”

“We’re okay.” Emma smiled. “And we need to talk, we’ll talk about it again. But for now, let’s just relax, Norman. It’s weekend, right? We can lazying around until noon,” she giggled.

Norman felt a small smile tugging on his cheeks.

“Mmh…yeah,” he said, before tugging the girl in front of him onto his lap.

Emma laughed, tugging on his nape demandingly before locking their lips in a sweet kiss.  

“I love you,” he rasped, with his eyes still closed, still savoring the softness of the pair of lips against his own. “I love you so much.”

“Mhm…” Emma hummed. She broke the kiss and nuzzled her head on the crook of his neck. “I love you too. Always.”

‘Everything’s okay. Everything’s okay for now.’ Norman chanted to himself.

He had the girl of his life in his arms. Everything’s okay and Emma was safe and everything’s okay for now. Everything would continue to be okay. He trusted Emma. He loved her, and he needed to trust her. And if Emma’s sure that they’d be okay, then he had to believe that everything would, somehow.

Norman realized, that he loved this girl too much to ever give up on her, anyway.

Trapped into an "Unfair Promise" 

Part 1/5 —-> Next This comic took me months even if the lines are still a bit sketched. It was supposed to be for Noremma Week but oh well XD just some months late!  It’s reaaaally angsty, I warned you! 

I wanted to go to the bottom of some details showed in the manga in future and analyze Emma's personality a bit more. She isn't that strong, that determination she built isn't natural like many people think. Like Musica said, she HAD to embrace it and become that kind of person for her family. She promised Norman to be strong, but keeping all inside may bring to despair at times. She is a human and not that strong either. And still we never saw her cry for anything and anyone besides Norman, keeping everything for herself until she could finally hug him again. Keeping the loss for herself, dreaming of him, wishing she didn't fail back in Grace Field.
