Norman's POV:

Norman leaned against the porch railing, sipping his coffee as the morning sun cast long shadows across the lawn. He heard the familiar sound of a car pulling up and looked up to see Y/N stepping out

"Hey, Uncle Norman," she called out with a warm smile, using the nickname she'd always used for him.

"Hey there, Y/N," he replied, smiling back. "How's college life treating you?"

She walked up to the porch, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's been amazing. So much has changed."

Norman nodded, trying to ignore the strange feeling in his chest. "I can see that. You've changed too. All grown up now."

Y/N's POV:

Y/N looked at Norman, feeling a mix of nostalgia and something new she couldn't quite put her finger on. He had always been her dad's best friend

"Yeah, I guess I have," she said, her voice softer. "It's good to be home, though."

They spent the day catching up, talking about college, life, and everything in between

"You know, it feels weird," Norman admitted, looking at her with a thoughtful expression. "I've always seen you as a kid, but now... you’re not a kid anymore."

Y/N blushed slightly, feeling the intensity of his gaze. "I know what you mean. You've always been like an uncle to me, but... it feels different now."

Norman's heart raced as he struggled to find the right words. "Yeah, it does "

Y/N's dad, who had been watching from the kitchen window, noticed the subtle changes in the way Norman and Y/N interacted. He had always trusted Norman like a brother

That evening, as they all sat down for dinner, the tension was palpable.Y/ns dad looked at Norman, then at Y/N. "So, how's it going, you two? Catching up on old times?"

Y/N nodded, glancing at Norman. "Yeah, it's been great."

Norman shifted in his seat, trying to play it cool. "Just getting reacquainted. Y/N's all grown up now."

Y/N's dad narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the undercurrent of something more to Norman’s words
