One day Mari just turns to Moirine with a big smile on her face and when Moirine asks why she says "oh I just can't believe you're dating me. I really punched above my weight here. I mean you're a 9! And I'm a solid 7" "5" "7" "5" "6" "6" "I'm a solid 6."

Mari likes to rest her head on Moirine's chest and have Moirine stroke her hair. It's about the only way to guarantee a good five minutes without arguments.

Video games they've played together:
Mario Kart
Mario Party (only with Rhys and Lucia - it's the balance that keeps them from murdering each other whenever they steal stars from each other)
Burnout
Super Smash Brothers (Moirine always manages to win with Kirby through pure button smashing)
Pokemon (they're trying to collect all pokemon between themselves, swapping DS's and trading pokes for the best result.)
Portal (they swap out when the puzzle is too hard for one of them to get, they can now both quote Glados)

Quite often in the evenings they'll just sprawl over the couch or the bed and Mari will read her graphic novels (which Moirine insists on calling comics which turns into a few minutes of "they're graphic novels!" "comics" "ugh") and Moirine reads novels. These novels are probably historical fiction and completely florid, though occasionally there's some classics from the literature canon and sometimes it's just straight up 50 Shades of Grey.

They both regularly come home with animals like "she followed me home!" they both volunteer at the local no-kill shelter, but on different shifts and doing different things. Mari socialises the cats (mainly by rolling around with them in a large enclosure like the tiger she is at heart) and Moirine walks dogs. If their building wasn't a no dog zone, Moirine would have walked all those dogs off the premises and back home by now.

they both eat pretty healthy (mari eats like a brontosaurus) but Friday is their cheat day. They go out to a bar drinks loads of beer and eat wings or they go to a trashy restaurant for ribs and awful cocktails or they just buy loads of crisps and some cheesecake and veg out in front of the tv. It's such a dumb thing since they both like to eat healthy but when they wake up on Friday morning they possibly jump up and down singing "cheat day cheat day!". on Saturdays they have a reasonably large vegetarian fry-up too, to mop up the alcohol and be extra cheaty.

Rhea and Hyun have a cheat day too. Or, well, Hyun has a cheat day. Rhea literally just eats whatever is on the table and isn't conscious of the cheat day. It's like "oh I guess Hyun didn't want to cook today? well I'm definitely ok with pizza."

They saved up to buy a holiday cabin in the woods. When they got there the first time, Simon was waiting for them with three fishing rods and an activity list.

They have added separate chairs to their living room set because the pets keeps stealing their seats on the couch and Acoustic will occasionally set up shop on the only armchair and hiss at Rhea from across the room.

When they inevitably end up with more cats sometimes Hyun stretches out on the sofa covered in cats and the dogs who're huge wimps curl up next to Rhea's armchair all '8( catssss'.

In the evening they watch dumb TV. Catfish MTV (after watching the documentary of course!), Teen Mom (after watching a documentary about struggling teen mothers)...anything bad that Rhea can attach a documentary to.

Once a week they have a date night. Either they go to a restaurant or out to a movie. Once every couple of weeks Rhea chooses a movie and it's either an obscure anthropological documentary or an action thriller. They don't really watch romances. Why? They've got a better relationship than anything on screen.
