Yes, I do. Being Raggs princes and loved by the family; both have hyper best friend (Hyuuga & Mikage - These two are so much similar), have suffered the loss of precious ones (Yukikaze in Ayanami's case, Mikage in Teito's; and now Hyuuga in Ayanami's one, too), etc.

But I think Ayanami is attached to Teito because the boy is uncorrupted even when having lost his family, his country and his dearest friend.
