First I wanna say that your writing style is wonderful and a source of comfort for me in semi dark times :D
And I was wondering if you could make my request for cardcaptor Sakura headcanons ( Touya Kinomoto, Yukito Tsukishiro, Yue ) of how they would interact with a teen/younger reader struggling with depression/life and self hating tendencies ( fully platonic please) cause it has been kind of on my mind and comfort these days are very appreciated lmao
Thank you, and I understand fully if you deny my request if you don't feel like it or uncomfortable writing it :)
Helping depressed young reader
𝆹𝅥 Touya Kinomoto, Yukito Tsukishiro, Yue (CARD CAPTOR SAKURA)
Touya is someone incredibly caring, he normally doesn't show it directly but he does worries over those close to him, for him it doesn't matter if you are his friends or he knows you because you are Sakura's friend once he get close you know you can count on him!
Touya is incredibly perceptive, he is observant and the magic that he has inherited from his father helps him to notice things that aren't obvious at first glance, so it didn't took him long to realice that you were struggling with something, still he won't assume it is depression right away because he doesn't want to end up exagerating and make a big deal out of a small problem but the more he thinks about it the more sure he is that is actually depression
Still, Touya won't really preasure you to talk about it if you don't feel ready nor comfortable enough to do so, of course, unless he thinks your life and safety may be in danger
Touya will limit himself to do small acts to show you his care, trying to make you feel comfortable around him (not exactly to make you talk but so you can have somewhere to feel comfortable if you need it), Touya is a big brother and seeing you struggle with something that seem like a big burden really bothers in a way that makes him feel too worried, and the younger you are the more worried he feels, at the end his big brother side gets triggered and he end up taking on him having to take care of you (no matter how much people you have willing to help you handle your depression, Touya becomes one more of those)
If you haven't openly talked about this kind of stuff Touya will do small and indirect acts, making sure you are eating and drinking enough water, gifting you a bottle of water or snacks if he knows you have being neglecting yourself, depending on your age he will either offering to make homework together to be there in case you need help (and make sure you don't beat yourself for not being able to understand something) or ask Sakura how school has been, discreetly asking about if you or her has problems
If you decide to open up about what you feel Touya will listen to you, not interrupting while you vent unless you ask him something, and if you start crying he will hug you without hesitation (unless he knows before hand that it will make you uncomfortable), he won't really say something like everything will be fine but he will let you know that no matter what you can count on him, he may not be able to change your life or what you feel but he will be there to help you
Touya won't tell you what to do nor how to deal with your feelings but he is there to show support and care, he will help you make a schedule and follow it if you need it, or just make sure to let you little reminder of taking care of yourself (along with the implied invitation to go to his home whenever you need it, he is sure his family won't mind)
Touya won't sugar coat things, he is more the type to help you face your intrusive thoughts and self-hate with arguments, whenever he heards you talk bad about yourself (or just know you are thinking on it) he interrupts you to tell you to think again, helping you see yourself in a diferent light, asking if you or life is really as bad a you think it is
Touya will try his best to help you because of the love and respect he holds for you, but will never dare to underestimate you nor your feelings, he will try to help you see things in a better light without taking his feet out of the ground, maybe things aren't good right now or you can feel like life is meaningless, but that doesn't mean you are all alone nor that you can't find something that will make your life worthy of living
Yukito is really caring over his friends, no matter how he have met you or what age you have the moment you two grow close enough to considerate friends you become part if his family, wich means he constantly has you in his mind because of that fraternal love he hold dearly for you
Yukito is incredibly caring, he may be quite naive but he is more perceptive that he seems, it would take him a while to find out that you are suffering from depression (depending in how much you try to hide it) but once he have found out he will not ignore it nor underestimate your feeling in any way
Yukito will find the oportunity to ask you about it, still he is pretty subtle while asking, he will mainly just ask if you are doing alright and if you have been eating and resting well, he is extremely careful while trying to bring the topic to the conversation because he doesn't want to accidentally cross the line if you don't want to talk about this, but if you feel comfortable enough he will be all ears
Yukito is incredibly worried about you but he will express it by taking care of you, again, he doesn't understimate you nor want to come across as pushy but he will be constantly asking you how are you doing, if you have being taken properly care of yourself as well as ask you about your day, asking about it in a more casual way but he would be quick to react if there is something that could hint that you are having a hard time
Yukito also does what he can in indirect ways, giving you small and gentle reminders to take care of yourself when he thinks you are struggling or neglecting yourself, willingly offer helps with trivial things (like school or just walk with you whenever you are going outside) if you need help or just want some company, as well as constantly gifting you snacks and candies (is just something that feels quite personal with him)
He normally isn't too indirect but is always kind and gentle, always having a smile to offer you, still that doesn't mean he doesn't take this seriously specially when you open up and vent to him, Yukito thinks is better to let you express what you need but at the same time is quick to give his opinion when you are talking bad about yourself, leaving clear that is his opinion before telling you how much he does appreciate you, and not only him but also your other friends, even if they struggle to express it he assures you that is true
As well, if it helps you Yukito will make sure to remind you more often you amazing and loved you are, celebrating those little achivements you over look and make sure you don't underestimate yourself, helping you recognize that you are deserving of kindness and helping you find a way to be kinder to yourself, he does tries really hard to help you but he is more focused on help you see and learn that you deserve kindness and to be happy, even if takes years he will patiently stay at your side as long as he can to help you improve
Still, Yukito is aware that this problem will not be solved in a few days, let alone with only cute words, so, overall, he is really respectful and always willing to help you with what he can and as much as you allow him to
Yue is quite the opposite of his counter part, unlike Yukito he is not too kind nor gentle, for Yue to actually let his guard down and be kind first you would have to win his trust but since you are already close to Yukito he knows enough of you to know that you aren't a threat (and if you are close to his master it would be easier for him to trust you, even more if you are his master)
Yue isn't actually human and he won't pretend he is so he may not know exactly what are you going throught, he knows what it is depression but won't be bold enough to say that he understand what it is to live with depression, although he relates it to back then when he lost his master in an attempt to understand it better and be able to provide you some help, again, he would not dare to say that he understand but at least this way he has a clever idea of it
Once you got close enough to the point that Yue considerate you someone important then you have managed to get right to his heart, to be considerate his family and he isn't willing to lose someone so dearly for him again so he will do what he can to help. He may ended u learning what it is and how it works the depression in an attempt to find out if he could treat it with his magic, but at the end he decided to go for the more human ways
Yue isn't as gentle as Yukito is so when he is worried he will not hesitant to confront you, even if you struggle to even talk about this Yue will find a way to make you talk (more likely by telling you how worried he is for you, to tell you that he just intent to help you because now you are too important for him and Yukito's life), but no matter how rude Yue may come across as or how stern Yue's expression may look he is actually just trying to don't let the worry get the best out of him and end up falling on his knees because of the worry and sadness when getting to know how much depression does affect you
Yue will also take upon himself to take care of you to some extent, you have being persistant enough to even get close to him and become his family so now you must take responsability of what you made him feel and don't leave, and for that he will make sure to take care of you and do as much as he can to help you feel better, even if he has to push Yukito to do it for him
Whenever he is the one who get the chance to spend time with you he will not waste time and ask you about how have you been before anything else, half asking half scolding you about taking care of yourself, but as time pass and this become a rutine you would be able to learn that he is this insistent because of how important you are for him
Also, he have served in the past to Clow Reed himself, he didn't needed to be taken care of but he did apreciate it so for a while Yue would be using that past experience to take care of you, offering you a cup of tea and making sure you are resting well, he may not be able to help you much around with your daily rutine (either because he doesn't exactly go to a school or because of his apparience, to dont attract much people) but he will be doing things for you and find a way to leave reminders with Yukito from his part for you
He won't exactly know if he is being of help or how to recognize when you are improving but he can tell when you are being sincere when expressing that you are feeling better, or simply that you are feeling good, and he take that to heart, that is enough for him to know that he is being able to help and that does make him feel happy and reasured
A/N: im sorry for making you wait for the comfort! My mind it was a mess buuut here it is! I hope you like it <3 I normally just include Yue in Yukito's part, but since you wanted them separate i added him, although im sorry if their parts are a bit short
