on promises and feelings kept close to the heart
#conversation that didnt happen but SHOULDVE. IN MY HEART#black clover#asta black clover#asta#yuno grinberryall#yuno black clover#black clover art#asta and yuno#is there a duo name for them (THATS NOT SHIPPING THIS IS PLATONIC)#like hage bros or smth#kerizart#anyway i tried to be as close to character as possible for the convo while also lettimg them talk feelings... bc omg yuno :((( he needs tha#hashtag let yuno cry 2026 please he's been through enough#i think asta is definitely happy about winning of course but he also wants yuno to be okay bc he knows how important it was to him too#and while their rivalry was built on the WK dream i like to think they kept it going afterwards for other stuff#bc in the end its yuno who pushes asta to surpass his limits and vice versa. i think asta wouldnt want it to stop even after being WK#so i really wanted this moment of him reaffirming to yuno “u ARE my rival” like a challenge. you wont stay behind right? keep chasing withm#but also their “main” rivalry being over does give yuno more space to be open with his feelings. which he needs. and asta is the best for i#bc they're the closest/ and they're first and foremost family. who want to help each other and will alwats be there to save the other#physically and emotionally if needed. BC I SAY SO#i also think this is the only time yuno ever refers to asta as 'wizard king'. in acknowledgement. then it's back to their usual banter bs#which is why yuno saying it is for asta both rly important but also a sign that yuno really. feels not the best now about the loss. its bot#anyway i love these two so much can you tell. i just wanted this tribute to their bond that is so deep and complex#thank you for coming to my ted talk#if you notice any mistakes no you dont. hush
