The smile on Noah's face grew as he watched Azalia in the limited illumination the candles gave off. "Hamburgers?" He asked with a raised brow, thinking that her choice was pretty simple. Who was he to talk, though? His favorite food consisted of pretty much anything he could get into his mouth, though he did love spaghetti, especially when his mom made it. She liked to put Italian sausage and sliced tomatoes into it. Noah's gaze followed hers and he watched their joined hands. Bringing them up, he placed a light kiss on her knuckles, and smiled as his eyes traveled to hers again. "I'm a spaghetti person." He said quietly, as if not to disturb the serenity that had washed over them. Noah thought for a moment, his sandwich forgotten for the moment, contemplating his next question. His goal was to learn more about her, and that was exactly what he planned to do. "Why have you never been on a date before?" He finally decided to ask.

Azalia couldn't stop the blush that burned her cheeks when Noah kissed her knuckles, biting her lip to attempt to stop her smile and looking down. This man was going to be the death her her, making her feel like she was going to melt every time he was near. "I like spaghetti. I like it with sausage in it." At his question she froze a bit, slowly raising her gaze to his before looking away again. "I'm bi-polar." She whispered, as if it answered everything. "Guys don't want to want to deal with that..."

Noah frowned when she answered his question, but his gaze softened a bit when he looked at her again. He hadn't thought about that before because he didn't think it was that big of a deal. So what if she was bi-polar? He found it horrible that a guy would walk away from a girl just because she couldn't control her emotions as well as the next person. Sure, it would complicate things, but to know that nobody, before him anyway, had put forth the effort to show her that she wasn't just a generalization. That she wasn't equal to a piece of tainted meat. Honestly, it pissed him off a little. Noah was glad, though, that he had been the one to step up though. He watched her with sad eyes, once again squeezing her hand in his. "That's not true." Noah said, "Sure, some are cowards and don't give a shit, but I do. I want you to know now, that some diagnosis isn't going to scare me away. I'm willing to make it work."

Azalia instantly regretted answering the question truthfully, but she couldn't take it back now. She watched his reactions, afraid that his frown was a negative one towards her. Great. Now he's going to leave me just like everyone else. Before she knew it, Lia's eyes had filled with unexpected tears. "It is." She whispered, shaking her head. "My own parents gave me up because they couldn't deal with me. I always end up driving people away." She looked down, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I don't want to drive you away too..." She whispered.

Noah could feel his heart clench in his chest with her words. They were just so sad and hopeless sounding and he hated it, absolutely hated it. He despised when the people he cared for were sad, and with Azalia, it seemed that it was just ten times worse. All he wanted to do was pull her into his arms and keep her there so he could make sure nothing bad ever happened to her again. He knew, logically, that wasn't even possible but it didn't mean the urge wasn't there. Little did she know, that it would take much more than a tornado of emotion to drive him away. Noah was especially persistent when it came to things he wanted, and he wanted Azalia. He just wanted to make those tears of hers to go away. "Azalia, listen to me. I'm not going anywhere. I don't care what you do or say, I am telling you that I will always be willing to be there for you." Noah said, wiping her tear away with the pad of his thumb. He used that hand to lift her chin, his eyes meeting hers. He leaned closer, their faces mere inches away from each other. "I mean it. I'm here to stay until you tell me to go away, and then some." In that moment, all he wanted to do was kiss her worries away, and make her feel wanted, treasured even.

Lia kept her head down as Noah spoke, though her heart was doing flips inside her chest. She desperately wanted to believe him, but there was still that part in her that believed she would scare him off, just like she did with everyone. Despite that though, there was yet another part that clung to the hope of Noah staying and not leaving her. "Even though I freak out over little stuff, and I can barely control my own emotions? You'll still want me around?" Her voice began to break as another tear slid down her cheek. Azalia met his gaze with her own watery one as he rose her chin. "I won't ever want you to go away." She admitted. "I couldn't take it if I lost you too."

Noah knew that she was probably doubting all of the things he had said, but he knew they were true. He would now just have to show her instead of tell her. He never wanted to go away, even now, on their first date, he was in too deep. He couldn't leave he if he tried, it would eat him up inside. There was no way he would be yet another person on the list of people who had caused her pain. His feelings were now overwhelming and if he were to act on what he was feeling now, it would the point of no return. Was he fine with that? The answer was yes, hell yes. Noah slowly leaned closer and closer to her, and finally captured her lips with his. It was gentle and soft, and he hoped that he was conveying to her just how much he cared about her in that one single kiss.

Lia was afraid that she'd said too much when Noah didn't answer, but that idea flew out the window when he began moving closer to her. Her breath caught in her throat when his mouth finally touched down on hers, and for a moment Lia's brain stopped functioning. He's kissing me! Oh my god, he's really kissing me! Azalia had no idea what to do, her entire body had frozen in her shock. She quickly got over it though and hesitantly kissed him back, her eyes closing.

Noah was almost completely overwhelmed when not only did she not push him away, Azalia kissed him back. He moved his lips softly against hers, turning so they were at a more comfortable angle. It had been ages since he had even kissed a girl, but it was no issue for him. Noah moved his other hand to her hip, pulling her ever so closely to him. After a moment, he pulled away from her slowly, and rested his forehead against hers. A smile spread its' way across his face as he opened his eyes and watched her. He still couldn't believe he finally went for it.

Lia wasn't sure if she was responding correctly, this was her first kiss after all, but since Noah wasn't responding negatively, she figured she was doing something right. She gasped softly when she felt him pull her closer, and her arms hesitantly wrapped around his neck, her eyes still tightly closed. Lia almost immediately missed the contact when Noah finally pulled away, and it took her a moment to open her eyes. She bit her lip, not quite sure of what to say. "I...I've never been kissed before." She finally whispered.

Noah wasn't surprised at her admission, considering how flustered she seemed to get when he was around. He didn't mind that she was inexperienced and a little shy, it only made things all the more new to him. Those little things about her were what made her the way she was, and her loved her for it. Wait, what? Where the hell did that come from? I have to be insane... He bit his lip for a moment, still looking at her. "Well," He said with a small smirk, masking how confused he was now feeling inside. "Did I do your first kiss justice, then?" He was only kidding with her, she didn't have to answer his question for all he cared. He kissed the corner of her mouth with a smile.

"I-I dunno..." Lia tilted her head a bit. She was blushing deeply, but she was trying her hardest to ignore it. "It's only been one kiss. I really don't have anything to base it off of." Azalia offered a tiny smile, her hold on Noah's neck loosening a bit. She slid one of her hands in his hair, biting her lip and flickering her gaze down to his lips before looking back up to his eyes. Lia realized she was a lot more comfortable around him now than she had been at the start of the date, but that may be due to how close they were, and the fact that they had just shared their first kiss. Sure, her heart was still beating like it was trying to burst out of her chest, and she was trembling ever-so slightly, but she was honestly the happiest she'd ever been since being given away by her parents.

Noah's smile had to be brilliant in the candlelight, he was so happy. Does this mean I can kiss her anytime I want? Is it weird that I want to write a song right now? He wasn't really sure of either of those things, but that was okay for now. At that moment, he was just enjoying being by her side. When Azalia's hand made it's way into his hair, Noah had to close his eyes for a moment. He feared, if he didn't, he would have pounced on her, which probably would have scared the crap out of her. Instead he let out a small contented sigh, letting the hand that cupped her cheek fall to rest on her neck. "Well, you seemed to enjoy it." He teased her, letting the smile form on his face once again. "Thank you for coming tonight." Noah said, looking at her.

Lia was happy that she had finally put a smile on Noah's face instead of the frown she was so used to seeing. It made her heart do strange flips in her chest. She laughed softly as his tease, tilting her head again and causing her hair to fall to that side. "Hmm, I dunno." She teased back. "Like I said, it was only one kiss." Her teasing smile turned into a soft one and she lowered her eyes a bit. "You're welcome...thank you for asking me out..."

Noah cracked yet another smile, for now, one that seemed to be permanently engraved onto his face. Not that he would mind, though it would be hard to seem angry if it were. He leaned down to press a soft kiss to her cheek, letting out a small chuckle. "It was my pleasure, beautiful." He said, leaning his forehead on her shoulder. "I'm just glad you didn't turn me down after meeting my kid. She's a handful." Noah shrugged. He had really been worried about how Azalia would react to Sophia, especially because he was only nineteen and had a daughter who was turning three in a few months. Even that simple fact was something that could cause a girl to steer clear of the whole situation.
