"delicious, isn't it?"

I think any of these pairings would work (but Daphne's reasons are more "These are some of the best people I know of course they should fall in love and be happy and nobody else deserves them") (she doesn't feel as strongly about Stephanie lol but Stephanie is nice and also needs to stop being so obsessed with her brother).

Kent and Sally. First, I have to point you to this very cute ficlet (Sally doodles on Kent's cast after he's injured in a mock assignment).

They're opposites in a lot of ways which complement each other. Sally craves color, Kent is more bleak; Sally is dramatic and artsy and persuasive, Kent is reserved and has a hard time expressing himself; Sally is a precog who wants to be valued for more than her powers, and Kent is not a Ment who has spent his time showing he's just as capable (if not more so) than other AMOs; Sally is competitive, and Kent is pretty chill. (I think a lot of these complementary qualities are also true of Kent and Glitch; so I think they'd do well together and even that Kent would be drawn to her the way he's drawn to Glitch platonically.)

And they have a lot of similarities. They're both loyal and love their (somewhat difficult) pets [I think this is actually kind of KEY]. I think they're both intense in kind of different ways (Sally more outwardly so, Kent more quietly) (idk if I explained that well, but see the fic lol). There's that ask that says Kent WAS a crybaby before his mom died and Sally IS a crybaby; maybe Sally can awaken those emotions that Kent keeps under the surface.

(The biggest problem I can foresee for them is that Kent isn't great with words and Sally can be both sensitive and bad at picking up other people's emotions, which I think means there may be many misunderstandings in their future.)

Kent and Stephanie. We don't know that much about Stephanie, but (vaguely, because spoilers) if Stephanie learned about what happened during Operation Hemera, I think she could easily develop a crush on slash be president of a fan club for Nox (similar to her crush on Justice). Is this enough to sustain an actual relationship with Kent? Maybe not lol.

Kent and Gray. Look if I'm saying that Daphne and Kent have a lot in common, then why not throw Kent and Gray together? Kent is such a sweetie under his stoic exterior and I could see Gray being so charmed by that. Plus, Kent would be so good at flustering Gray (and would have so much fun doing so). I think they might have some interesting commonalities re: the end of Mind Blind (vague because of spoilers).

Also imagine with me a universe where Gray is the one who knocks (politely) on Kent's door to save the puppies while Button takes the subway; and Gray is the one who has a filled-with-romantic/sexual-tension training session with Kent.
