#I actually don't remember anything about the assistant Noah “AU” I have fermenting on my blog so take this with a grain of salt.

Total Drama World Tour Assistant Noah AU…
Where Assistant Noah warns Owen before the London Challenge, but Alejandro had heard him…
Alejandro: So, you think that I’m like an eel dipped in grease?
Assistant Noah: Yes, I do. What are you gonna do about it, pretty boy? I’m not a contestant, you have no power over me, Eel!
Alejandro: Maybe so, but I can still use my charms to mess with you, while you’re working.
Assistant Noah: Don’t you dare! >=O
Alejandro: (Smirks and blows Noah a flirty kiss!) ;)
Wasn't it already a pre-established fact that Alejandro was actively flirting with assistant Noah before London? Why would him upping the ante make any difference here?
If anything, have Alejandro seethe over the fact that, despite his best efforts to seem as suave and charming as possible, Noah sees him as an "eel dipped in grease". He's consistantly pulled out all the stops to get a reaction out of Noah - the same tactics that worked flawlessly on the rest of the competition - and yet his best efforts are rewarded with the one person he's trying to get to like him, actively disliking him.
It's a massive blow to his ego and his confidance. But one he can learn from.
Have Alejandro condeed defeat to himself; if he hadn't won Noah over by now, there's little chance he ever would (at least, that's his justification for giving up). Have him stop flirting with Noah - stop interacting with the assistant completely, since he's so obviously disliked by Noah.
And then. Then, you have Noah notice the emptiness in his day-to-day.
You have the both of them turn to make snide comments or backhanded remarks about the goings on in the competition, only to be met with silence and a blank space at their side. You have the both of them cycle through active denial that the miss each other, until the weight of their loneliness crushes their combined stubbornness.
Have Noah sheepishly apologise to Alejandro in the (relative) privacy of the cargo hold, trying to explain that his distrust of Alejandro doesn't necessarily translate into dislike. And have Alejandro forgive him. Not entirely, but enough for the two of them to settle back into a sense of normalcy.
That is, Alejandro habitually trying to flirt with Noah once more, only to be completely blindsided when the other laughs at his attempts instead of brushing him off.
Because that's a sign of progress, right?
