"Would you two mind trying- Oh my lord," Anne said with clear surprise in not only the tone of her voice but her facial expression as well.
"Mum!"
She smiled at both of them, her smile gleaming brighter than the lights she practically forced Harry and Noel to hang up. "Well finally you became a man and kissed her. It took seventeen years! Ha!"
Harry's cheeks flushed pink as Noel let her hair cascade over her blush as well.
"Gem! Did you catch that with the polaroid?"
A thumbs up popped up from behind a wall, and out came a happy Gemma who was mentally celebrating the moment her brother grew a pair of balls.
Harry sighed but was unable to keep away a slight smile as Noel's hand quietly slipped into his, intertwining their fingers together. "When the boys get here, let me just-"
"Let you just what?" Liam asked from behind Harry.
Noel mumbled, "He kissed me."
And all of a sudden, cheers echoed in that one room. Liam and Zayn (who had recently had a group-forgiving session with the rest of the lads) gave Harry man hugs, while Louis and Niall were babying Noel, along with Anne and Gemma.
And as if on cue, Robin walked in with a chill. "I'm guessing I missed something?"
Everyone groaned in defeat, and Noel radiantly smiled up at Harry. If she was being completely honest at the moment, she wouldn't have minded explaining the story. She was quite fond of it, actually.

But the time eventually came when Noel's parents arrived at Harry's flat for the celebration. Her parents weren't exactly as laid-back with situations that Harry and Noel currently endured. But she was prepared. Hopefully.
She made her attempts at briefing it with her sister, but Adielle merely shrugged it off, explained that she had her predictions and bet money on it, then made her way to have a--flirty--chat with Niall, who also jumped on the flirt train with her.
So, she made her way over to her parents who were sharing a glass of champagne with Anne and Robin.
"Noel, darling, join us," welcomed Anne with a small wink. Noel sat down next to her parents, making sure not to get too close in fear of them freaking out. Proximity was key, in her opinion.
She cleared her thrust and looked at both parents in the eyes. "Uh, mom and dad. Can I, like, just come clean with something?"
Her mother nodded but had an expression of concern. "Is everything alright? Is your health okay?"
Noel waved her hands at her mother's assumptions. "yes, oh yes, goodness yes. My health is perfect fine. It's something quite nice that I have to tell you. Well, uh-"
Harry came behind Noel. He was hugging her shoulders and rested his chin on top of her head, which was where she was feeling his smile. "Mr. and Mrs. Navarro, I would like to introduce myself as Noel's new boyfriend."
