-Akira asked Arima out. He was so shocked, she almost thought her intuition led her wrong, but then he clasped her hands in his and said he’d be honored.
-Arima loves observing Maris Stella. Cats are contrarians, which he admires after his upbringing. The day she ate treats from his hand was one of his favorite days.
-When Akira found out about the garden, Arima had to restrain her from storming the Washuu compound to demand a duel with Tsuneyoshi.
-On their rare days off, Akira cooks him mountains of food and he thinks it’s more delicious than any restaurant.
-Akira was afraid to bring him along when she visited her parent’s graves, but one day she discovered him watching her. He offered her a tissue for her tears and said nothing as he slipped an arm around her. He didn’t need to.
-though Arima knows Akira is more than capable of holding her own against any sexism in the CCG, he has personally threatened to use IXA on anyone who insults women in his presence.
-Arima had grand, romantic expectations for the first time they made love. It actually turned into an awkward mess, with Akira laughing so hard she cried, and Arima internally freaking out as Maris Stella watched them with her glinting cat eyes.
