“Happy anniversary, from me to you.” - norton x reader
fluff
context: reader is a sight work alcoholic. Norton, who deeply cares about the people he loves, reminds reader to take care of themselves. He truly loves you!
You're at home sitting in front of a stack of papers, sifting throughout your desk. Apparently every single one of your professors felt like assigning you a bunch of homework to cram for upcoming exams. The stack looked like it was enough to last weeks. Yet you were determined to finish it beforehand.
Few hours later
As you're listening to music, time goes by very quickly. You were going through subjects with mere ease. You haven’t even realized what time it was before your phone had suddenly died.
As you went to charge your phone you heard your dorm’s door burst open. It was no other than Norton.
“Why haven’t you been answering me? Do you have any idea how worried I was!”
“No, I’ve been here the whole time. What do you mean you were worried?”
“I doubt you even have a clue about what the time is right how huh?”
You glance at the clock, it was around 12:02 am.
“What could you be doing all day for you not to answer me.”
“Homework.” You glanced at the unfinished work scattered across your desk.
“So you’ve barely made a dent huh? You seriously need a break. I’m forbidding you from doing homework until you have rested.”
You tried to argue with him and he didn’t budge
“I mean I called you, did you not have your phone on you at all?”
You glance at your phone, 47 missed calls and multiple texts from Norton asking if you were okay, if you were eating, or have taken a break.
“If you were so worried about me, why didn’t you come by earlier?”
“I had to pick something up. For you.”
Norton hands you a small giftbox, with a small note that read, “Happy Anniversary, y/n” you were taken back when you saw the note.
“I am not asking much in return other than asking you to take better care of yourself. For my sake at least.”
“Yes, I’ll try too. Trust me.”
“I’m not kidding, I’m serious.”
You sat down on your bed with the giftbox, shaking it and opening the top.
Before you could even open it, Norton was already hugging you begging you to go to sleep. As you were forcibly dragging into bed, as you both laid down you held each other close, drifting off to sleep. Norton kissed you on your forehead before falling asleep next to you.
