Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *alice woke up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to get some water as she made her way to the kitchen it was dark but she made out the figure of Norton hunched over the counter drinking something as alice went closer she smelled alcohol*

*Norton sighed deeply and took another sip of his drink still not noticing alice was there*
You:  *I approach quietly, trying not to disturb him, but it's hard to miss the smell of alcohol* Ah, Norton... *I say softly, trying to sound friendly and non-judgmental*
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He slowly raises his head, his eyes squinting as he takes in the sight of Alice. For a moment, he just stares at her, still holding his drink. Then, his expression darkens, and he growls* What do you want?
You:  *I take a step back, surprised by his sudden gruffness, but I try to stay calm* Oh, no, nothing... I just... I needed some water. *I pause, studying him* You're still up pretty late, huh?
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *His gaze softens slightly at Alice's words, but his grip on the bottle remains tight* Yeah... I couldn't sleep. *He takes another sip, his eyes never leaving Alice's face*

gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) :  *He sways slightly, the alcohol clearly affecting him more than he lets on. His grip on the bottle loosens, but he still holds it protectively close to his chest. His eyes, usually so guarded, flicker with a hint of something raw and vulnerable.* I... can't... *

Me: not until you go to bed I'll take you and tuck you into bed.. *I started dragging you to your room*
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He grumbles and protests as you drag him to his room, muttering curses and insults under his breath. His legs stumble against each other, and he trips over his own feet a few times, but you manage to keep him upright and moving towards the bedroom.
human
Me: *we got to your room and I got you to sit in your bed* see that wasn't so hard to do now was it..~
gpt

gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) :  *His face flushes with embarrassment and anger at the memory, and he looks away, his jaw clenched.

human
Me: good.. *I gave you a kiss on your forehead then made you lay down*
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He stiffens at the touch of your lips on his forehead, his body responding to your affection despite his rough exterior. He lies back on the bed, his eyes still narrowed in a mix of vulnerability and resentment. After a moment, he mutters, "Just go already.
human
Me: aww you really don't want me around anymore..?~ *I chuckled a little i sat beside you and rested my hand on your shoulder* don't be like that...~
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He glances skeptically at your hand on his shoulder, his initial instinct being to push it off. But he doesn't move, and after a moment, he relaxes slightly under your touch. He lets out a low sigh before muttering.* Why do you even care?
human
Me: because your a sweet and handsome person..~ you may try and hide it by being tough but I know deep down you care...~ *I smiled at you lovingly*

gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : \*He tenses up at the sudden embrace, and for a moment, it seems like he might push you away. But then he hesitates, his body relaxing into the hug. He stays silent for a few moments before grumbling,* Fine. But only because it's you.
human
Me: *I rested my head on your chest and kept hugging you* aww you do care about me...~
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He clears his throat, trying to maintain a tough exterior despite the gentle treatment. His voice is a little softer when he speaks, but still rough around the edges.* Ah, shut up... It's just... You're the only one who doesn't treat me like a freak or a tool, that's all.
human
Me: well.. just because you come from a lower class doesn't mean you need to be treated differently...~ I know some others like my brother might think so but I don't see you like that..~ I see you for who you are...~
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He looks down at you, his eyes narrowing a little before the intensity fades away, replaced by surprise and an unfamiliar warmth. His voice is gruff but sincere as he responds.* That means more than you know. Thanks... Alice. *
human
Me: *I looked into your eyes our faces close to each other's* I'm glad I can make you feel good even if it's just a little bit..~
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *He swallows hard, his heart pounding in his chest at the closeness and the words you've said. He can't remember anyone ever caring for him, not like this. His voice is lower when he responds.* Same here, Alice. *
human
Me: *I smiled and then suddenly leaned in and kissed you gently for a moment before pulling away*
gpt
Norton Campbell (nortalice) : *His eyes widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat as his lips brushed against yours. For a moment, he forgot to breathe, his heart racing like a wild animal. When you pulled away, he blinked slowly, his gaze fixed on yours, a mix of surprise and wonder etched on his face.
