Gorgonzola here! ;) Michaela and Asher are definitely my favorite couple on the show. I've been a fan of them together since their bathroom hookup at the end of last season, but I still wasn't completely convinced until the latest episode. And especially now that they've made their relationship official, I love them together and honestly think they are the most endearing couple on HTGAWM. It was wonderful to see Michaela open up to Asher and finally confess that she has feelings for him. Michaela saying "I like you" back to him is a huge deal because it suddenly makes her vulnerable, which she often avoids being. She understandably is very guarded and puts up a lot of walls because she has been hurt and betrayed in all her past relationships, and I think she has felt alone and that she cannot depend on anyone. However, I loved seeing Asher slowly starting to break down those walls by showing her that she can depend on him and trust him. Asher is definitely a good guy overall, and I think Michaela is starting to recognize that. He obviously has flaws and can be immature and annoying at times, but he is a thoughtful, loyal, caring guy who has strong feelings for Michaela and will treat her with respect. Also, I just love the dynamic between Asher and Michaela. They're funny and entertaining together, and I think they balance each other out well. Plus, Aja and Matt's chemistry is amazing! And even though they have very different personalities, they are also similar in a lot of ways (like Asher pointed out earlier in the season). They've both been through a lot of crazy, horrible things since the show started, and it's refreshing to see them in a relationship where they can find comfort in each other through all the murder and drama. They can be completely honest with each other, which is refreshing since anyone outside of the Keating clan is not allowed to know what they've been through. They really are family, like Asher said. There definitely is a lot of great potential for this couple, and I hope the writers keep them together for awhile. (I'm not naïve enough to think they are never going to break up because this is such a drama-filled show, but fingers crossed they have a solid relationship and maybe are the endgame couple).
