#THE BAAAAAAAAABBEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

for Nortalice.....

Who you think fell first, Who fell the hardest, and Who confess first?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOooOOOOO~

I think Alice fell first cause she is obviously the first to be like 'woah, he is cute' even if it was just in her subconsciousness at first 🤣🤣

while Norton was just "mm bread,// huh I just now noticed your presence at the table,// wow you ask too many questions" PFF

But her noticing, after they have been through some wild escapes together and realizing she can count on him, feelings began trickling in heh

--------

Norton 1000000000000000000000000000000% would fall the hardest lol

I can see it taking him so loooong though pff

He likely wouldn't even consider a real relationship even possible for him, until after Alice makes her feeling known, and this leaving him baffled and having to attempt to consider what feelings he is hiding from himself

but

Once he figures out "I want her to be my partner, my family" it would finally click that he is head over heels for her and has been for a while~

-------

And I think Alice would confess first. (cause Norton doesn't have a darn clue lol) I can see her leaving a note for him with an orange near the Christmas season And then high-key spying on him to see how he reacts

(if it was literally anyone else I can see him being like "yea sure whatever, great joke :/" but since it is ALICE!! It might shock him a bit cause he would know there is no way this is some kind of mean joke. That this is legit; that Alice actually feels this way)

But her seeing his eyes widen and swallowing hard before looking around the room as he folds up the note to place it in his back pocket, and then picking up the orange to quickly flee the scene

This leaving Alice not sure how to interpret that lol Alice: "he didn't immediately throw the note away, so I suppose that is a good sign"

Then not knowing what to do next, Alice just goes about her day, only to notice she hasn't seen Norton at all since the note and this concerning her that she may have ruined the partnership they had, but still hoping Norton will at least say something about it.

So in an effort to make herself findable she waits around, looking like she is reading in hard to miss places lol purposely choosing rooms that one has to go through or pass to get to the kitchen or outside or other usually frequented areas lol

but still nothing, and its getting late. So, she gets ready for bed and in her nightgown only to then hear a knock at her door. Confused, she grabs her candle and opens the door, only to see Norton there with his hair combed, with a folded note, and a box with some string tied around it to keep it from falling open.

Norton: "I appreciated the orange, and..." -clears throat- "happy early Christmas" -hands her the note and the box and hurries away-

Alice will find the note expresses something along the lines of "be patient with me, but I think I am accepting your feelings. I find that I want to stay by your side no matter what your feelings for me are. So, it is good that your feelings, about my presence beside you, are...positive"

and the box includes a freshly polished gemstone that she recalls that he found a little while back and was quite fond of it. So this speaks volumes to Alice, that he feels the same, even though he doesn't fully realize it yet.

hehehe
