Both, absolutely!
He and Delia are a lot alike personality wise. Both are empathetic and see the best in other people to the point of shoving their own emotions aside. I think the big difference is that Delia is more introverted while Mat is more of an extrovert. I think she might find him a bit tiring, but not to the point of annoyance. She kind of looks at extroverts with an admirable view.
Haruo is fun because he hates people like that. Haruo is selfish to the core and doesn't really understand empathy. He tries, but only because Ai hangs around him, and he needs to know why she's throwing chairs at him. He'd probably sees Mat, and though he probably tolerates him more than Delia because he's outgoing, he's just curious as to what's going on in his head, and I could see at some point, him just being like "Look. I'm taking you out, and you're going to do things for yourself. Not because someone wants you to, but because you clearly need to not think about other people for once."
Cue the scene from the movie Big Daddy where Adam Sandler throws a branch at on-coming roller skaters, trying to trip them up, only Haruo is Sandler and Mat is Dylan/Cole Sprouse
"Why did you do that?! That's awful!!"
"Because, Mat, it makes me happy."
OHMIGOD I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW :smile2:
Okay, now back to socially-correct me. :smile9: ...And now I have no idea what to type. Hmm. Why am I not surprised.
Sure, totally! That sounds totally great! And when I was doing my own stalking rounds (heh, those are more common then I'd like to admit) I was definitely noticing the differences between Haruo and Mathias. At first I was like THIS WOULD BE A HORRIBLE PAIRING but then I was like 'Actually... Maybe these two could teach the other something. Opposites attract, don't they?' So I was all excited. And then I got excited because of the similarities between Mathias and Delia, 'cause I was like 'Well, that's a whole lotta stuff to relate to!' So yeah, I totally see where you're coming from with all that!
