Kiyoko/Itori

– it probably began with Itori volunteering to slip Kiyoko information on the clowns. 

– Kiyoko was right not to trust her, because of course her information was BS.

– But they’d already become friends. Kiyoko cried upon hearing of Itori’s miscarriage, and Itori loved Kiyoko’s stories of her nephew.

– Eventually, Itori asked why Kiyoko kept meeting with her. “Because you’re fun,” Kiyoko replied. “Funny, because I say the same for you.”

– They kissed, and occasionally Kiyoko sees Itori watching from a distance when she’s in battle. Itori respects her girl’s power too much to interfere, but she’s there just in case.

– Itori visits Kiyoko in the hospital and gets Kiyoko to laugh for the first time after losing her legs. And then Itori cries with her, too. 

Houji/Tatara

– Even in their breakup phase, Houji will still get text messages from random throwaway phones. They usually contain trolling references to his relationship with Tatara. 

– Tatara has, of course, made all of Aogiri buy cheap phones to troll Houji with.

– Tatara once left his mask at Houji’s. He returned to see Houji wearing it, which he found unbearably sexy.

– Who kisses who first? Houji will say Tatara. Tatara will say Houji. 

– Both are wrong. They were giving each other sultry glances and Eto, at that point a young upstart trying to recruit Tatara, banged their heads and lips together.
