Y/N and Norman Reedus are co-stars in a hit TV series, and Norman has also taken on the unofficial role of Y/N's protector, given his experience with the spotlight and the often invasive nature of the paparazzi

Filming in New York had always been a dream of Y/N's, but the constant presence of paparazzi was starting to wear on them. Thankfully, having Norman around made things a lot easier. Not only was he a fantastic co-star, but his protective nature made Y/N feel safe.

One afternoon, they decided to grab a coffee together during a break from shooting. As they walked down the crowded streets, Y/N could sense the eyes of onlookers and the clicks of cameras following them.

"Just keep walking," Norman murmured, his hand gently guiding Y/N forward.

Y/N nodded, grateful for his calm demeanor. "Thanks, Norman. I don't know how you deal with this all the time."

He flashed a reassuring smile. "You get used to it. Just gotta keep your head down and focus on what's important."

Secretly, Y/N cherished these moments with Norman. Their bond had grown stronger over time, and Y/N couldn't help but wonder if Norman felt the same way. But the fear of rejection kept them from saying anything.

Norman had always felt a strong sense of responsibility toward Y/N. The entertainment industry could be brutal, and he wanted to ensure they were protected from its darker side. As they navigated the throngs of people, he kept a watchful eye, ready to step in if anyone got too close.

They finally reached a quiet café and slipped inside, finding a secluded corner to sit and relax. But the peace was short-lived. Within minutes, the paparazzi had found them, snapping pictures through the windows.

Norman sighed, glancing at Y/N. "Looks like our break is over."

Y/N looked disheartened. "Can't we have a moment of peace?"

"We can try," Norman said, standing up. "Come on, let's get out of here."

Norman often found himself stealing glances at Y/N, admiring their strength and resilience. Over time, he'd developed feelings for them
