Why do people pair Auron with Rikku?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

I think Rikku and Auron could be the classic romantic couple: older mysterious if rather gruff man attracts lively, optimistic younger woman. I don't know about everybody putting them together though. Eg in fan fiction sites, Rikku/Auron pairings seem rare, and you get lots of comments about it being pervy.

but the auron rikku pairing is pervy!

Because Rikku/Kimahri fanfics would be just plain gross.

Rikku/kimahri pairing is perfect. start the revolution!
