(And other modern/college au hcs because I am SO normal about him)

Oletus University: Let's go, Nightingales!

First and foremost, let's not get it twisted, Norton is SMART. Oletus gave him a HEFTY scholarship, allowing him to go there with minimal expenses. He majors in geophysics with a minor in environmental science. He CLAWED for his education.

Joins a frat for the connections + philanthropies (Naib told him to), not so much for the party culture.

Norton's not much of a party guy because he doesn't like how confined the space can get. He will help around to host, but will mostly spend his time smoking outside and talking with someone.

Speaking of smoking... Marlboro Reds, and the carton is ALWAYS beat up and torn.

Norton isn't too much of a drinker. Don't get me wrong, he'll have a shot or two, but he's not one to get hammered. He can hold his liquor really well.

Norton loves a good beer pong, though.

Modern Norton is punk. I think the way he'd dress up would lean into that alternative DIY look that a lot of punk styles have, and no matter what, his aura just... exudes it.

If he likes you, Norton will insist on offering you a ride home if you have no one else. You think it's him doing you a favor, but it's really just him trying to get out of cleaning the aftermath of a party.

Norton takes good care of his new pledges. He HATES the idea of hazing and shuts it down fast.

"Give me a 10 bucks, and I'll give you my number," Campbell.

You best believe he keeps his grades in check. No procrastination around here. Norton gets that syllabus and gets his work DONE.

Norton is the kind of guy who's always in and out of relationships... With the same cycle of people. It gets to the point where people mistake him for a casual FWB guy, but he's genuinely too focused on other things to be a good boyfriend for someone.

Norton Fuckboy Campbell, but it's 100% on accident.

Speaking of, he'll never take you back to the house. All your intimacy goes on in the back seat of his car.

Norton, "you busy?" text at 2 am, Campbell. Of course, he says he has the intention of just taking you out for a drive and a smoke, but it always ends in his back seat, ifykwim.

Got hammered ONCE and had Demi give him a shitty stick and poke tattoo on his scapula with cigarette ash. It's a miracle how it didn't get infected, and how it hadn't faded.

The kind of guy to go on a deep, philosophical tangent on the porch stairs while buzzed, while the party goes on inside.

Got into a fight while drunk with Orpheus and got his shit rocked. Was in angst for days about it.

A part of the reason why he stays at these parties is not only out of obligation but also because he's kind of lonely. Despite being hard to approach, Norton doesn't mind friendly conversation and actually loves expanding his networking web.

On the rare occasion when he does get drunk, Norton loosens up a lot. Like an alter party ego, Norton's much more bold and outgoing. He's roudy, a bit reckless, and definitely a lot more pushy. He's such a messy flirt, and God forbid you end up making out with him, his kisses are aggressive and sloppy.
