Your relationship starts when he bans you from the server he mods for on Discord. You go into his messages and argue with him. It’s annoying, but then that annoyance fades as you two continue arguing with each other. Aki finds himself looking forward to your conversations.

So why are you arguing with someone else? He let you back on the server because you promised not to. He doesn’t even care that it’s against the rules, he’s irritated you’re not giving him attention.
