Noemi breathed in and all the sudden she was lifted in the air, her arms coming around Milo's neck to stabilize herself. "I did it!" She smiled, as this was her first time being part of a hunter tournament.
Her gaze dropped down to Milo's so bright and cheerful and friendly and so happy for her win that she couldn't help herself. To share in the excitement, she pressed her lips to his. It was all of 10 seconds before her head snapped back and she was staring at Milo with wide eyes.
"U,...Um..That...that..." She stuttered out, her face turning bright red.
Melsuine's voice rang cheerfully and happily through out and Noemi was...she was just....

That was indeed a kiss, small but impactful. It was enough to catch Koume off guard and leave her speechless and without further comment, almost sputtering in Milo's head. While all he could muster was staring at her wide eyed as his cheeks found a flush. His arms still tight around her while she still hovered in the air.
Slowly he let out a breath and then gently placed her back down, his green eyes never leaving her face. Even as one of his hands traveled upward to cup her cheek. When he first arrived on the island, nothing like this happening crossed his mind; romance, kissing a cute girl at any moment especially after she won a spar, maybe having a girlfriend or something. Cause there was a mission.
Well, things change sometimes.
"That was nice," he smiled before pressing his lips against hers.

Noemi was totally like this was a mistake. She probably made a mistake. Like they had seen things in other worlds, and she was running on super high happy feelings and they had been on dates but they had never really said anything about it.
AND SHE JUST WENT AND KISSED HIM.
Her set her down and she was preparing a million reasons why...why she shouldn't be kissing him but...
"O...oh?" she stared up at him and then he was returning her kiss and her eyes widened again. She stared for a moment before hurriedly closing and let her hands rest on his chest.
O..OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS UNAWARE OF AUDIENCES TOO SO SORRY EVERYONE.
When she sat back, her face bright red, she gripped her coat again. "Are.....do...love?"

There might be an audience, now forgotten by the two of them but perhaps they didn't mind. There was entertainment. Young love blossoming before them as two hunters were finally coming to realize their feelings and expressing them.
And one of them totally ruining the moment. Milo's eyebrows raised as Noemi found herself stuttering over her words and he tried desperately to hold back the laugh that was trying to break through his already small twitch of a smile. He could gather what she was trying to say to him, but instead he went dumb and flung himself back at the small girl, engulfing her back into a hug as he faked distress. "Aa wei! Dear sweet Noemi-chan, you've been broken!"

Noemi was totally broken.
Her face blushed and she was stuttering again and then she was being muffled by his sweet hugs and such. "I...I....I..........."
WORDS WERE SO HARD TO SAY.

For a long moment, Seren found herself standing there, unsure of what to say. She had the strongest feeling that Oliver and herself had been forgotten, and that her new friend had no idea, anymore, that she had an audience for all of this. Seren considered for a long moment, and finally made a decision as to what to do. She REALLY hoped it wouldn't make things worse, but she had a feeling they might be happier having the rest of this discussion without witnesses. She knew she wouldn't have wanted witnesses for her declaration of love to Rhys, certainly. "Noemi seems a bit broken... Does Noemi come with a reset button, do you think, Oliver?" She said, turning to him, and saying it JUST loud enough to be heard. "I hope so, because she seems to have BSOD'd right during an important discussion." Ok maybe it was a dorky way to say it, but still.

It was sweet of Seren to come to such conclusions. But unfortunately it was simply that Milo was a dumbass; sure a dumbass coming to terms with his feelings and ignoring the yelling from the voice in his head but a dumbass none the less. Still, the idea of privacy was crossing his mind now that things began to unmuddle, to clear and he finally recalled that there were in fact people around.
But he still ignored them as he finally let out the laugh he couldn't contain any longer while he raised his other hand to press against Noemi's other cheek. "Naa, kala mai ai'u, Noemi-chan." The Sun apologized despite the goofy smile still present on his lips as he closed his eyes and rested his forehead against hers.

Noemi's face immediately exploded in more redness as Seren and Oliver(who was mostly dragged away), and she buried her face in his chest.
"It's...It's okay..." She waited a moment until the other two disappeared, "W..Wait, I have something...I have something serious to say to you okay?" She closed her eyes, even as his forehead pressed against hers.
She took the deepest of breaths.
"I..I love you Milo." She nodded, "So...so I wanted to tell you. I'm...I'm sorry...I've...I've loved you for awhile..." she just wasn't sure he felt the same but...even if he didn't love her, he liked her enough to kiss her, and perhaps that was enough.
"If...If that's okay?"

Oliver was still a little pink cheeked himself, but less overwhelmed now that other parties were occupied with each other. He was definitely out of practice when it came to socialization... Seren's quiet comments brought a smile to his face though, a dorky approach was the best way to interact with Oliver. "I-I don't know but... I don't think I can blame her," he replied quietly. "It's pretty easy to overload shy people." Although he hadn't intended to suggest it was true of himself as well, it was likely Seren's little hug was the only thing that kept him from retreating from the loud energy now that the match was over. Aria Starstone omg nooo I AM WORST RPER XD

Seren carefully shuffled them off, to let Milo and Noemi have their moment, her arm still in a friendly hug around Oliver's shoulder, not wanting to worry that he might panic, given what they had accidentally overheard. Once they were out of range, she said "I can't either. It's hard, confessing feelings like that, even for outgoing people, I suspect." She paused, then added "Which I suppose technically I am, but that's a more recent development. Before I came to this island, I had no idea I was one, myself." She shrugged, and continued on. "Anyways, we need to hang out more, my friend. I'll talk to you later, yeah?" It was almost time for her own match.

It was a role reversal, now with Milo finding himself at a lose of words. It was so much easier to express what he was feeling, what he had come to realize was in his heart in the action finally initiated by Noemi. But now she was telling him in words. Serious words. The Love word.
She was meaning it, he knew it and didn't think little of it. It was huge (LOVE)- or was he making it out to be a bigger deal than it was?
Koume seemed to think so, was trying to tell him to repeat everything back without raising her voice too much. Like she was trying to explain it like he was five, trying to keep it simple and not snap at him. But he was also mostly hearing white noise as his cheeks flustered so.
< You love her back. Say it, aho. I know you were too dumb to realize, but you do. Just say it back. >
Because it was so simple, it was there. It had been lingering there for a while. But he couldn't figure out how to say it. "It's totally fine." He managed to blurt out, thinning his lips into a line like he had made some mistake. Milo opened his mouth again but then closed it promptly with a hum. Then repeated it a few more times with various self defeated sounds as his hands drifted to her shoulders.
Finally he gave her one long look before doubling over and plopping his forehead against her shoulder. "I forgot how to word, Noemi-chan."

Noemi wasn't looking at his face, though her admission was a very heavy one. Here on the island, imagining love and things like that was very hard. Milo was so cheerful and happy and maybe he would enjoy just....just liking her.
She didn't expect him to love her back, but her heart certainly yearned for it.
"O...Oh!" She made a small sound and then brought her hand up to his hair. It seemed the roles had been reversed this time around and she shyly played with his longer hair.
"Thank you." No she didn't need him to tell her right away, or at all. She had made her feelings clear and that...that was an accomplishment for her. "Th..That's okay Milo!" She pinkened and then pat his head. "It's okay." She said again and then lifted his face to hers to kiss his cheek. After that she shyly looked at him, "We...We should get ready for your battle."
Perhaps...Perhaps some time would help.

He'd watched the whole fight with baited breath and the very strong hope that Lydia would come out on top. Noemi was very sweet and very kind, but Arorangi was nothing if not biased towards his girlfriend, and really very much wanted her to win.
Alas.
While the rest of everyone else was busy doing something with Noemi and the brown haired man, Arorangi went straight over to Lydia, scooping her up without preamble, one strong arm under her back and the other under her legs in a perfect princess carry. He pressed his lips to her forehead and then nuzzled his nose against hers, Arorangi drawing back to beam at her.
"You did wonderful, aroha," he said happily. "I am very proud of you."
