#not so much ‘toxic’ as he was ‘trash goblin’ though lol

I’m sorry, did you mean

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

Norman Osborn x reader fluff (Part 1?)

(Idk what I'm doing...mostly just having fun! She/her pronouns but can be seen as he/they as well.)

It's been a year since Norman had returned from his encounter with another universe. He had been freed from the goblin persona that had pestered his mind for quite some time. After returning from other Peter's universe he turned good and began a new in his original universe. Norman had attempted at making an anti-toxic work place that didn't quite goes as planned...two employees were fired that day. He had been feeling lonely as people around him still saw him as a cruel businessman with no heart or soul. None of them knew that he changed...

except for y/n...

Y/n was a kind young women that had joined Oscorp soon after Norman was redeemed. She was smart and worked with Otto Octavius on his life long study. Norman had taken a liking to Y/n who brought him coffee in the morning. She always smiled at him, which Norman rarely got besides when he talked to Peter.

"Good morning, Dr. Osborn!" Y/n would say.

"Good morning, Miss L/n...you seem happy today." Norman would take the coffee from her hand.

"Why wouldn't I be? Oscorp is paving the future and paying me quite well so...yep!" Y/n would joke, "Just kidding, Dr. Osborn. We just jumped another hurdle in Dr. Octavius's work!"

"That's amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product!" Norman would think about what he saw in other Peter's universe. Dr. Octavius had become a cruel, malicious person from what he saw. His failed experiment had turned him into someone Norman didn't recognize. Otto had been reformed by the other Peter, but Norman feared of what Otto could do to his universe before he could be reformed. He had been trying to monitor Otto as much as possible and he feared Y/n could get caught in the cross fire.

"I can't wait either! Well, I have to get going! Bye Dr. Osborn!" Y/n walked away and Norman watched her leave. It wasn't long before he got a call from Peter.

"Peter! My boy what is it?" Norman laughed.

"Uh, Dr. Osborn? I just wanted to check on you. Harry isn't doing well and I didn't know how him leaving as been affecting you. I know you've been trying to reconnect with him." Peter stumbled as if he was unsure about something.

"I'm doing as well as I can be, Peter. Is there something bothering you? This kind of came out of the blue." Norman questioned.

Peter didn't respond for a moment. "I haven't seen Harry in two weeks...he hasn't responded to any of my texts or calls. I talked to MJ and she said that he had talked about leaving New York."

Norman had been in his office and he stood up from his seat. "WHAT!"

Norman stood in silence for a moment. He hadn't thought Harry would leave him even after what had happened. He suddenly felt like he needed Y/n. He needed her because she could give him some sense of security. Some sense that he is in the real world. Some sense that it wasn't a dream...a nightmare.

"Dr. Osborn?" Peter's meek voice rang through the phone. Norman suddenly felt like he wasn't alone anymore. He felt like something in his mind had been awakened again...the goblin.

How pathetic...you care so much about someone who doesn't care about you...tsk tsk...I though I knew you... The Goblin laughed.

"DR. OSBORN?" Peter was louder now, his voice concerned.

Norman felt like passing out. He heard familiar voices coming from his office door.

"Norman?" Otto's voice rang around him. Sweat dripped from Norman's face. Everything was a blur.

"Dr. Osborn?" Y/n voice was the only voice that he could hear clearly. He wanted to cling to it. To keep him awake. But the Goblin's laugh over powered Norman's senses. He fell over and passed out as everyone watched. The Goblin's laugh still ringing in his ears.

(To be continued? Just to say I wrote this late at night and was like...I should post this lol. So, yeah it could be trash and probably is. I probably will write another part.)
