At age 9, Kira and Athrun announced, to everyone at one of Patrick Zala's political dinners, that they wanted to marry each other. They were considered engaged after this point, because they both said it; and the parent's didn't protest or argue.

When Athrun and Kira were both 11 years old, Kira went through a very awkward faze where she was bullied a lot. Athrun was suspended from school on more than one occasion because he got in fights in order to protect her.

At age 13, Athrun re-proposed to Kira after telling her that he will be moving to the PLANTs with his parents. His father has joined the Supreme Council, and he has no choice. Kira says yes to his proposal, and Athrun gives her a ring; and they share their first kiss.
