joiedecombatDay 09 - The most believable relationship?
I have to agree with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?
Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?

Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?
Day 18 - What is the cutest pairing?
Day 19 - A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?
Day 20 - The "can't stand the sexual tension anymore" pairing?
Day 21 - A pairing you like and no one else understands why?
Day 22 - A pairing you hate and no one else understands why?
Day 23 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great?
Day 24 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out badly?
Day 25 - A pairing that was/would-be adorable, but could never work out?
Day 26 - A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
