I see them as not even recognizing friendship, let alone anything more initially. They just wind up spending so much time together than gradually it dawns on them that no one else's company compares. The don't feel as comfortable with anyone else to be completely themselves. And while each of them *notices* the other (I mean, really, how could they not) for the most part they don't act on it--not at first. It's like each of them is looking the opposite direction when one of them notices the other. For me, there has to be a moment of reckoning, an event that makes them realize what they've been avoiding. They don't talk about it--they just act.
And then they spend a lot of time being stupid and not realizing what they have is the real deal. That comes slowly over time too. :-)
