[And, surprisingly? Noiz stops, again, at the explanation. Sadly enough, it's... really been the first time anyone has bothered to clearly explain what Noiz is doing and why he shouldn't. But every other life lesson before, use and be used, conflicts with it.
Then again, this entire situation conflicts with everything else he's learned anyway. For once, he's fumbling, but apparently he's managed to hide it pretty well.
'Romantic'. He doesn't have much of a concept of the word. Sure, couples holding hands, kissing, he'd seen it. He'd seen friends and family holding hands too. Seen them peck each other on the cheek and mouth in greeting. So what's different? Except he actually knows, for once, without being told. Has... sort of figured it out on his own. It's still confusing, but... it brought him this far. Then again, apparently it's not enough.
So he takes a breath, turns back to Aoba. Any color that may have been on his face is gone. Again, he stares, watching, waiting with that intense look of his, and then - he strides into Aoba's space, putting them inches apart.]
I've only done those things with you. [It's awkward, to admit it. But it's out now, up in the air, and it's all Noiz says before he turns away again, continues on toward his destination. He thinks it should say enough.]
