wait wait wait, "In fact, Yukito will directly confess his love of Touya." ?????? I'm so confused, did you mean he DID confess his love (my gay ass don't remember that) or is this gonna happen (if so where did you find this information?? pls it's important)?????
Lmao, Ifeel u, my bisexual ass loves the touyuki. but I wrote this before Yuuri on Ice got wildly popular and you had that all-but-canon kiss, and overseas fans were STILL not satisfied that their relationship was canon? so maybe this wonât be enough.
Yukito doesnât say âI love youâ to Touya or anything - that would have been too straightforwardly gay for a mainstream manga title in a major shoujo phonebook for elementary schoolers in Japan in the year 2000. But he does tell Sakura that he loves Touya, in the scene where she confesses that she likes Yuki. Yukito is like âo no smol bbyâ and tries to persuade her that sheâs really feeling a familial affection for Yukito.Â
And while Sakura goes along with it (b/c she doesnât want Yukito to feel bad for her) sheâs also like âyou already have your ânumber oneââ, which is CCS code for âfavorite person/person you likeâ, and Yukito is like âyeah, I doâ.
Sakura:is it my brother?Yukito: [surprised] ⊠yeah. Sakura: [smiles] I thought so.
So thatâs the scene Iâm thinking of when I say âYukito directly confesses his love for Touyaâ. He doesnât say it to Touya, but itâs pretty evident it doesnât need to be said on screen: they are canonically one anotherâs âmost important personâ.
And thereâs also these other things that are pretty blatant âweâre never leaving each otherâstuff:
Thereâs this ongoing gag/magical shit thing going on throughout the back half of the series where Touya keeps trying to tell Yukito that he knows Yukito isnât human, but every time he gets close to saying it Nakuru interrupts and splits them up. Yukito kinda just ⊠lets Touya go each time? but with increasing distress? And finally after he collapses in the middle of a soccer game, Touya carries him to the infirmary (!!!) and when the same thing happens with Touya trying to say The Thing and Nakuru popping up to pull Touya away, Yukito reaches out and grabs Touyaâs shirt to stop him from going and is like âoh man I totally did that without thinkingâ? but itâs like Touya was waiting for Yukito to prove he cared to hear what Touya had to say, so he finally ignores Nakuru and just says it, and when Yue comes out in response he's like âso my false form has finally figured out what he wantsâ which, like??? I donât know how that can be interpreted as anything but âYukito wants you, Touya, to stay with himâ
Touya gives up his magic just so Yukito can continue to exist?? And Yukito feels extremely guilty about it until Touya is like âlook, you love food, but if I was dying of hunger, would you let me starve?â and Yukito is like omg no?? Iâd split my meal with you? And Touyaâs like, yeah, this is the same thing. stoppit. And ruffles Yukitoâs hair and Yukito blushes and itâs all very gay
Thereâs a scene in both the manga and anime PURELY to let some random person in their class comment on how gay they are?? Everybody at their school is like âKinomoto and Tsukishiro are super popular with the girls, they could date anybody, but neither of them ever do, they only hang out with each otherâ uuuHHHHHH??????
They pick a local college to attend together and hang out all the time, forever.
So yEAH lmao tbh Touya and Yukito are actually technically more canon than SakuSyao at this point in the new series because S&S canât stop freaking themselves out about how much they like each other and Touya and Yukito are comfortable gays who have been dating for 20,000 years. THE END
