Hello! I've been loving your asks about Yuri! Iif it is not a problem, would it be okay to request some headcanons or a scenario of him falling for another fellow student (possibly a mage that helped out in the dlc story :) ) that is very open and reliable but just.. Completely impossible to embarrass? Yuri will be out there calling her dear, trying to make her stick around Abyss a bit longer by cooking for her, and just being all romantic and teasing, and she'll be like "huh thanks dude lol"
Have a marvelous day and take care! 🥰
Yes!! I love the idea of Yuri having a challenge of teasing his love interest. It's kind of like how it's always a hit or miss with his flirting with Byleth.
I hope you have a wonderful day, too! (*^▽^*)
(This is set during the Academy Days, but Yuri is 19-20, and Reader is 18+)
Yuri's never been the type to fall head over heels over someone, yet when he first lays eyes on you, he's at a loss for words. You're bright, have a no-nonsense attitude, and your looks are stunning. Since you're honest to a fault (in a polite way, of course), you end up gaining most of your classmates' respect. For a rogue like Yuri, he especially admires your virtues.
Feeling like he can trust you, Yuri tries to make a move to flirt big time. He wants to show he's definitely interested in a relationship if you're eager. One day, when he spots you passing by the plaza, he shouts, "Hey, Sunshine! You look great today!"
You look up at him and raise an eyebrow. "I do? You're talking to me, right?"
A bit flustered, he chuckles, "Who else is so gorgeous out here? Well, besides me, of course, heheh."
You roll your eyes. "Please don't mess with me, Yuri. I'm trying to prepare for the Professor's big exam this afternoon." With that, you leave, causing the rogue to frown.
"I meant what I said, y'know," he muttered. "You're definitely eye candy."
Sometimes during training sessions that require partners, Yuri will declare, "Hey, I call Y/N!" His rivals, like Lorenz, glare at him as he heads over to you.
Shrugging, you simply say, "Works for me." Then, you stick to the lesson plan. Yuri's stunned you can't seem to take a hint.
Another time, Yuri makes you a bowl of soup for snack during a cold rainy day. "Here, so you can warm up," he smiles, managing to give a wink while setting the hot bowl in front of you.
You stare at the bowl on your desk, and the aroma is enticing. "Thank you, Yuri. I hope the others can have some, too." You gesture towards the rest of the class, including a starving Raphael.
"Um, yeah, sure," he murmurs. While he's happy you're considerate of others, Yuri can't help but feel a bit spurned. You probably didn't mean it, though, so he'll hold onto some hope.
He believes Luck is still on his side as he catches you holding a big tome along with your lunch. "Here, let me help you with that," he tells you as he offers to carry the book.
"Oh, uh, thank you, Yuri," you reply, blinking as he lifts the book like it's full of feathers.
"No problem! I'm happy to help you any time!" he flashes a grin. Then, he winks, "Wanna have lunch together?" motioning for you to sit with him at an empty table.
"Oh, OK," you shrug, placing your food on the cafeteria table and sitting next to the lavender-haired man. He sets your large book right next to the tray.
"So, excited about the Ball that's coming up? Everyone's talking about it," Yuri asks, trying to see if you have a date already.
Shrugging again, you explain, "Not really. I was planning on just staying in my room finishing my books. I'm reading some fascinating tomes lately."
"Oh...." He can't say he's not disappointed, but Yuri's relieved that you won't be spending the event with some sleaze like Sylvain. "Well, that also sounds nice."
"Are you going to the Ball?" you inquire, actually giving a slight smirk. You bet someone as handsome as he has quite the number of suitors.
Yuri's eyes dart away for a moment, and his face bears a solemn look. "Actually, I'm not. I don't really like how so many are focused more on a dance rather than helping the people in Remire Village. It kinda feels like the Academy is telling the whole world, 'We don't care.'"
You stare, and Yuri waves a hand. "Sorry, I didn't mean to get so worked up. It's just, what we saw in Remire...That's some bone-chilling stuff."
"If it makes you feel any better, Yuri, you can always talk to me about these things," you state, a gentle look in your eyes.
He glances at you and gives a soft smile. "Really? And here I was afraid you didn't like me or something."
"Huh? Didn't like you? Then why would I be sitting by you right now?" You're sincerely puzzled.
"Heh, you're right. I'm sorry; I just feel like I can be totally honest with you," he tells you awkwardly. "And if we're telling truths, then I have to let you know that I'm completely smitten with you, Y/N."
"Really? Well, that's sweet. You're not so bad, either, Yuri," you say, shocked, to say the least, by his confession.
"Let's keep having lunch together, Y/N. It's nice," the rogue hums, causing you to giggle.
"Sure! Only if you keep helping me carry my heavy books, you strong man!"
"What now?" Yuri's flabbergasted, and you laugh again. "You tease!"
He's gotta up his game and make you the flustered one next time.
