Day 09 - The most believable relationship?

I have to agree with
annwyd on this one. Of all of my favorite pairings, when I try to think of the ones who came together the most naturally and believably, the characters who come first time mind are Murrue and Mwu from Gundam SEED.
There's no meet cute, no plot devices pushing them together, no contrivance, very little interpersonal drama; they're just two people who work together, and work well together, and in the process become gradually closer and come to care for one another, partnership to attraction to love. And yeah, it's Kira and Athrun and Lacus and Cagalli who actually save the world, but the only reason they're in place to do it is because Mwu and Murrue found each other.
(As for Destiny... I don't care for it, mostly because even though I could have (reluctantly) tolerated undoing Mwu's sacrifice at the end of SEED if they'd done something good with him after that... they didn't. Even if they had, there'd really be no way they could recapture the naturalness of his relationship with Murrue, but there was a lot they could have done with Neo's identity crisis and what he represents about Mwu's already established personality, and aside from one scene late in the series it's all just kind of brushed under the rug, so... yeah.)
Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?
I generally just don't take much interest in actors as opposed to the characters they play, or in what they do or what they're like when they're not pretending to be someone else in a work of fiction. So this one's easy: don't know, don't care, I'll resume providing actual answers with day 11.
