Well, he actually communicates with Noe, is free to act like himself in front of her, makes active decisions for her sake, draws on her for inspiration for his artwork, spends time with her, and actually looks happy when he's around her.
It looks like we have very different definition of what "love" is - and the way I see it, his love for Noe is much more convincing. It may not last but it looks more fundamentally sound than whatever he has going with Hiromi.
When it comes right down to it I think Ai faces fewer obstacles than Hiromi. The situation with Miyokichi is troublesome but it's far cry from the situation between Hiromi and his mother. And he at least has a working relationship with Ai (or did, before Ai's Sekai moment), unlike Hiromi which was put on ice ever since elementary school.
