Naomi and Suzu met the boys when they came over to help with the party. Despite Mika’s efforts to hide it, they wound up seeing the boys’ magical abilities firsthand. After the fear wore off, Naomi expressed interest in “taking one of them off her hands” for a while.
At first she was a little interested in James, but then something interesting happened. Naomi made some fruit punch for the group and Sam, without even trying any, insulted it as a girlie drink. It hurt Naomi’s feelings, but then Sam tried the punch and found that he loved it. He didn’t apologize, but Naomi was so smug about him going back for more that she didn’t feel the need to ask for one.
That’s what made them first start paying attention to one another.
Naomi learned that Sam, for all his tough guy act, wasn’t that opposed to being untraditionally macho or silly. And Sam learned that despite Naomi’s soft-spoken demeanor, she was strong in spirit and didn’t put up with bullshit.
…. I have a soft spot for delicate-looking and small, paired with Big Strong Tough.
Naomi and Mika are 100% ok with it! The relationship Sam has with Mika isn’t the same as the relationship he shares with Naomi, but both are strong and healthy. After all, love is infinite. In fact, one of their favorite ways to humor themselves is to compare what he’s like in bed. (With Mika, he’s rough and domineering, and with Naomi, he’s slow and passionate.)
