Canon
At the beginning of the series Kane and Abby have an adversarial relationship, with Abby believing The 100 are alive on the ground and often breaking the rules to prove it, and Kane determined to follow the rules to the letter in order to ensure the survival of the human race. At the beginning of season 2 they are still adversarial, but as the season progresses they work together for the benefit of the group and begin developing a friendship. In season 3 they kiss for the first time, and are shown to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the other. By season 4 they are in a committed romantic relationship, with Abby declaring her love for Marcus before what she thought was to be her death.
