You and Norton didn't get a long. At least not in front of others. Constantly fighting at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. You never got a long during matches, leaving the both of you to be eliminated only because you refused to rescue the other. It confused Alice, always overthinking her and Nortons, or you And hers conversations.

Despite the fact that Norton was unfriendly with everyone in the manor, when you came along all his attention shifted to you, though he directed bad attention to you. Playing his board game and constantly making you lose from teasing and taunting, all you guys did was piss each other off.

At least, that's what everyone thought. But not always. After a terrible match, getting knocked so many times and being constantly confused, you couldn't help but cry, overwhelmed and angry with the game you were being forced into. And Norton shushes you gently, rubbing your hair as he lay beside you, staring at your teary puffy face.

He leaned down, pecking kisses across your face, running fingers through your hair as he kissed your tears away. You reached up to wrap your arms around him, quietly pulling yourself closer he wrapped his arms around you.
