Alan Keane/Relationships

These are the relationships Alan has with the other characters in the show.

Gumball
Alan and Gumball are shown to be on relatively good terms. Though Gumball often takes advantage of him, Alan, being the nice guy he is, doesn't seem to mind. He helps Gumball in whatever way he can, usually by providing advice, like in The Third, where he inspired Gumball to chase after his best friend, and in The Photo, where he advised Gumball to just be himself. In The Storm, Gumball ruins his relationship with Carmen, but also helps bring them back together. At the climax of the episode, he finally gets annoyed with Gumball's constant screw ups and yells with such ferocity that Gumball shuts up out of fear.

Carmen
Alan and Carmen both love each other very much. Their relationship is so perfect, that other people, filled with envy, want them to fail. The only problem their relationship has is the fact that Alan is a balloon and Carmen is a cactus - balloons are prone to popping upon contact with spines, and cacti are prone to being covered with spines. Alan has already popped three times because of this unfortunate combination: once in the Early Reel, again in the trailer for the show, and a third time in The Apology. Despite this, he is still devoted to Carmen.

Their relationship has also been called "cheesy" by some, namely Masami and Gumball. Their comments about their love for each other are filled with sappiness, like "if Alan was a cheeseball, I'd want seconds".

Masami
Masami has had an unrequited crush on Alan ever since she laid eyes on him. Unfortunately, Alan does not return this feeling. The only reason he went out with her in The Storm was to convince Carmen to get out of her depression and date other people. After hearing his cheesy love story of Carmen, however, Masami gets disgusted and storms out of the room.
