#nayuri

so called "secret scene" in Liberation episode in my intepretation!

It was hard for Yuri to focus in class when she was sitting right behind her crush; Ayato Naoi.

She named it a basic crush. They weren’t close. They were nowhere near that. Shit, they’ve never even had a second of interaction. She didn’t even know if he was aware of her existence.

But God, was she aware of his.

Whenever they were in different classes, Yuri would just stare out the window lost in thought. Otherwise she would be staring at Naoi’s back until she snapped herself out of her daze only to fall back into it seconds later.

Why she felt this way was an enigma to her. Though she tells herself it’s just infatuation that’ll eventually fade away, the attraction only seemed to remain fresh each day.

It’s not going to happen. Yuri tells herself. This was her way of trying to push out feelings. It hasn’t worked before, considering that Naoi is her first ever crush. But it’s a reminder that her unrequited crush was pointless.

Yuri’s eyes softened and dropped from the view of Naoi’s back down to the notebook in front of her. She quietly let out a sigh through her nose before she began to write down notes.

********************************************************

Time passed and class would be ending soon. Thankfully for Yuri, she wouldn’t have to be with Naoi in her next class. And the assignment that was given out was keeping her mind and eyes busy on something that really mattered.

“Hey,”

Yuri’s eyes widened at the sound of the voice. She didn’t hear it too often, but it came from in front of her, and the only person in front of her was…

She looked up and saw a pair of golden eyes that sent her into a trance the moment her eyes laid on them. Regardless of being a stranger to this person she knew who had those eyes...

Ayato Naoi.

Her eyes remained wide and a shade of light pink covered her cheeks. But then she remembered…

It’s not going to happen.

Yuri sat up straight in her seat and brushed off the “school girl with a crush” act. “What is it?”

Luckily for Yuri, Naoi either didn’t notice or even care about the dumbfounded expression she had on her face a second ago. He kept himself unexpressive. “What day is it?”

“It’s October 3rd,” Yuri answered before going back to working on her assignment.

Without a word, Naoi turned back around.

Yuri kept her eyes on her paper. “Geez, not even a thank you.” She grumbled to herself.

Naoi felt like a dumbass for asking such a simple question.

But that girl... He thought to himself.

She’s kind of cute.

Yuri and Naoi Backstory Parallels

They both struggled to get what they were going after

- Yuri: Something valuable

- Naoi: A sour plum

It had to be good enough

- Yuri had to find something that would satisfy the mugs so they would leave and not kill her little sisters and younger brother

- Naoi wanted to get a sour plum before his twin brother, Hayato, to impress his strict father. He also spent his life trying to please his dad.

They both were able to get what they were after

- Yuri found a decorative vase

- Naoi beat his brother when they both were struggling to reach a sour plum

After getting what they needed, they both fell (from a height?)

- Yuri fell from a staircase after getting the vase

- Naoi fell from a tree after getting the sour plum

After falling, they both sat up/turned over

- Yuri immediately sat up after falling from the stairs

- Naoi kind of looks like he’s in the same position as Yuri after he falls. But when his father tells him “That wasn’t half bad, Ayato”, he turns over to look at his father after being noticed in a positive way (probably for the first time in his life)

Hands and ceramics

- Yuri’s hand was shown bleeding after cutting it on a vase shard.

- Naoi’s hand is grasping onto a ceramic, leaving some dents on it

- Neither of their ceramics were in good condition when their backstories ended

Falling caused their siblings to die

- Okay, so I know that Yuri’s siblings got killed because she was unable to find something high priced. But she did manage to find a vase, so she did find something valuable. However, since it didn’t survive the fall, she didn’t have anything to give the robbers. And she was unable to find anything else. If she hadn’t fallen and successfully given the mugs the vase, her siblings may not have gotten killed.

- Naoi and Hayato both fell from a tree/or cliff. Hayato landed on a big rock which caused his death while Naoi landed on grass next to the rock.

Broken ceramics

- Naoi made a ceramic, but his father didn’t like it and threw it up against a wall, causing it to break into pieces.

- When Yuri fell from the stairs, the vase shattered.

- Both of them were looking downwards

They both lost their siblings when they were kids

- Yuri: By murder

- Naoi: From falling

Their siblings blood got spilled when they died

- Yuri’s siblings were more than likely shot, which would make sense since their blood is splattered on the grandfather clock and wall

when yuri was little, her younger siblings got murdered by a group a thieves that broke into the castle when their parents were overseas. ever since then, her parents have been very overprotective of her. whenever they’d have to leave, the castle would be heavily guarded, leaving yuri isolated from others.

years later (maybe yuri is about 16-17) her parents decide to hire a bodyguard, but she isn’t so big on the thought of being followed around all the time, and she knew she could take care of herself.

the nakamura’s hire ayato naoi to watch over their daughter and keep her safe from any harm.

at first, the two bicker and use sarcasm against each other. they just can’t seem to get along. eventually, yuri finds a way to sneak away from naoi and run off. she ends up in trouble and naoi has to come and rescue her. he gets hurt in the process and yuri feels guilty about it.

she takes him back to the castle where she tends to his wounds
