Noerdly

Noerdly is the Friendship between Noelle and Berdly from the Deltarune fandom.

Canon
Noelle and Berdly are close friends and have been for a while, presumably ever since they were little. They are classmates and school partners, and Berdly views her as his only friend. She is the only person among his classmates that he doesn't rebuff, although he continues to boast and calls her the second smartest student, as he still views himself superior. Berdly rarely, if not never, takes her feelings into consideration, as seen in the beginning of Chapter 1 when Kris asks to join their group, and Berdley rejects this idea, stating that Kris would only weigh them down.

During their time in the Dark World, Berdly and Queen try to no avail to rebuild a perfect world. Noelle does not comply, leading to an altercation between them.

After Berdly joins the party, it is revealed that Noelle helps him study, and deep down, he views her as better than him. This leads Berdly to the conclusion, while still oblivious of Noelle's feelings for Susie, that Noelle has feelings for him. He does not return this apparent crush, however, and tells Noelle not to be jealous as he has feelings for Susie instead. This leads to Noelle grabbing Berdly and shaking him, but this minor rivalry does not last as when they leave the Dark World, they figure it was just a dream and stay on good terms.
