Would you call Ben and Noel friends?

It's really hard to tell. They had so many moments in the series where they seemed to genuinely be bonding. Of course all of this was kind of shot to hell when Noel slept with Felicity and Ben found out. But even after that, didn't seem like they really hated each other after the initial blowouts. Ben even invited Noel to hang out with him and Felicity at the bar.

So do you guys think Noel and Ben were friends or do you think they just kind of tolerated each other for Felicity's sake?
