Nature || Ray x Fem!Reader || The Promised Neverland

Morning (1)

[A/N: This story will follow the manga so please be aware of that. There will be major spoilers as the story continues on. Also the way everyone speaks is taken from online manga where the translation isn't like the anime's/hard copy manga.]

6:00 am:-

The rapid ringing of a bell pierced my slumber as Y/n finally woke up to a call from a familiar voice.

"Everyone wake up! Or you'll be late for breakfast!" The cheerful voice belonged to none other than Emma.

Children from all around started getting out of bed and the room slowly filled with lively chatters, whining and running. 

"3 more hours..." Y/n sleepily mumbled.

Y/n has lived here in Grace Field Orphanage for longer than she could remember, and before she knew it, she was one of the oldest children around.

Y/n placed a pillow over her head and ears, attempting to block out as much noise as she could in order to get more sleep. Of course, all her dreams of sleeping were ruined by a mischievous kid pulling my blanket off of me.

"Hey!" Y/n complained, "why would you do that!?"

She spied over to the culprit of her life problems. It was young boy with grey-bluish eyes and a wide smile and one missing tooth. He had short, dark-blue hair. It was Thoma. She scrambled out of bed to chase after the tiny devil when a yellow-haired boy came out of nowhere, making her trip and land on the floor.

"Argh, stupid kids" Y/n muttered under her breath, still on the floor.

She wasn't very fond of young children, in fact, she found them annoying. Or maybe it's just that she just don't know how to handle them like Emma, or Norman.

"Y/n are you alright?" A soft, sweet voice asked.

Y/n looked up to see the owner of the voice, it was Gilda. She held out her hand, gesturing her to hold it so she could help her up. Y/n let her help her up and gave her a quick hug.

"Thanks Gilda!" She smiled.

"Anytime!" Gilda replied back, smiling.

Y/n went over to the bathroom to complete her normal daily routine that she did every single day. Once she was done, she went out to the dining room to see Emma hugging Mama and she seemed to be complaining about something.

"Good morning Norman! Morning Ray!" Y/n said.

"Good Morning Y/n!" Norman replied back.

"Morning." Ray said in his usual monotone voice.

"Emma seems to be full of energy today" Y/n smiled at her.

"Isn't she full of energy every day?" Ray said.

"Oh, do shut up" Y/n stated, her voice made it clear she was annoyed.

"And you seem to be irritated as always today as well" Ray shot back.

He earned a fierce glare from Y/n and the atmosphere got dark really quick, Ray shot the same glare with the same energy, only making the atmosphere worse.  

"Let's just eat" Norman interrupted, not wanting to get involved but also wanting to lighten the atmosphere as the same time.

"Yes LETS GO!" Y/n jumped, finally gaining her energy for the day.

They all sat down on their chairs, Y/n sat down next to Emma and Phil, Ray sat on the other side of Emma and Norman was across from us. 

"The food's great, right Y/n!" Emma said, smiling widely while stuffing her face.

"Mhm!" Y/n replied, matching the orange haired girl's energy.

We all continued to eat and enjoy every bite of the meal we were given. Stuffing our face and laughing over weird stories.

[After the daily test because I'm too lazy to write that stuff]

Mama took out the test scores and read them out loud.

"Norman, Ray, Emma, Splendid job you three! You each got 300s again! Perfect scores!" She cheered, "As for Y/n, you were close, but you had 3 marks off" she smiled.

Dissatisfaction and disappointment filled the room as you could hear everyone complaining about their scores.

"Come on. I should've been able to do better than that."  Y/n thought. "Maybe if I had studied harder, what am I missing? What do I need to improve, I hate just getting a few marks off, I hate it."  She let her train of thoughts take over, "do I just not work well under pressure? Or am I just plainly answering questions stupidly?"  Her thoughts were shattered when a warm hand touched her shoulder. It was Ray.

"Oh Ray! Hello!" She smiled at him.

"Hello. You coming outside?" He asked blankly.

"Yea sure!" Y/n exclaimed, bouncing outside, gaining her positivity back.
