each time i see meta about how kaname destroyed zero’s life my love for kaze grows 😭 peak doomed yaoi IF ONLY
it’s like greek tragedy. kaname choosing zero to be his weapon, fostering hatred inside of him by destroying everything zero treasured. then making him feel indebted to kaname so that he’ll do whatever kaname wants him to do like a dog. zero would resist him at first, but kaname is good at getting someone’s trust, especially if they are vulnerable. it’ll take a while, but against all odds and yagari’s warning, zero will give his trust to kaname.
only for kaname to later fall in love with his pet. admiration for his strength, selflessness, capacity to love despite the pain in his heart. we watch it all unfold as kaname’s decisions get back to him, see him change his plans and sacrifice even more people, so that zero won’t discover what he did. we see kaname be desperate for the first time, and he makes a small mistake that will give rido an opening to destroy everything he built. the truth reveals itself and we watch zero’s world fall apart as the sees the person he trusts the most for who he truly is, for the first time.
the angst the aNGST 😭😮💨 worst thing is that zero will never forgive him, even after death, even after many reincarnations, so it’s literally doomed yaoi. zero would look for every possible way to kill purebloods, to strengthen himself even if he loses the last bits of his humanity. zero will do everything to make kaname suffer, even if it meant killing the person they both treasure: yuuki.
