wakka

Wakka and Rikku's relationship is constantly changing. When they first met, Wakka was friendly and was oblivious to Rikku's heritage. However, in Macalania, when he found out Rikku's an Al Bhed he went nuts. He couldn't think of Rikku as the same person she was before the secret was spilled out.
Although later at Home he puts their differences aside and starts seeing Rikku and the Al Bhed as persons and understands their goal. But of course the time he decides to become supportive, two Chimeras attack. And of course, Wakka was oblivious -_-'.

In X-2 Wakka has very clearly gotten over his hate for Al Bhed and is good friends with Rikku. *spoiler* He even named his son Vidina, which is Al Bhed for future. *end spoiler* During Chapter 3 they have a meanful conversation about memories (Wakka's whole part in the game seems to be related to memories). And although it seems Rikku has changed her mind about memories, I think it's just to comfort Yuna.

romantically:
Umm, considering Wakka and Lulu get married, not a chance. But it would have more of a base than Rikku x Auron, for example. They get over their differences and become good friends. Rikku says she feels all warm inside after Wakka apologized.
But no, Wakka and Lulu clearly are a couple, although it may seem strange for Wakka to take his brother's place.
