Akira's affections for Haise are genuine. I think in the beginning, she was wary of him knowing who he really is and the fact that he was associated in the deaths of her father and Amon. However, as she got to learn him, she came to truly care for him. The fact that she didn't say to him that he's Haise and instead said that, "You are you," shows how much she cares about his mental well being. I really admire how much Akira has grown and changed from the original story. That attests to great writing which Ishida is a master of.
