Also you're a star that should never stop shining🌟
first of all, thank you baby🥰😘 coming right up!
Yui Komori x Vice Housewardens
Trey Clover
First things first, Trey and Yui definitely act like they're already a married couple to all of Heartslabyul. Not only are they both super sweet with the new students and have almost infinite patience, but they're probably some of the few people on campus with three functioning brain cells. It's normal at this point to see them together constantly, not even talking or doing student things, but doing things like helping with laundry, cleaning the commons, and most importantly, BAKING TOGETHER.
Trey is genuinely grateful for Yui's arrival not only at school, but in his life, as it lightens a lot of the mental load of being everyone's go-to person. They both know what it feels like (to be emotionally fatigued) and support each other in that regard. This also applies in reverse; Trey gives subtle signs of support to Yui if she needs it, such as giving her her favorite candy, offering to do chores, or telling the first-years to let her rest (they're literally the class's mom and dad).
Trey is super understanding of Yui's trauma, especially when she's having a really bad episode. His favorite way to help her through these moments, besides cooking something delicious, is usually to talk to her during the process, whether it's about fun moments they had during the day to distract her, let Yui vent, etc. He's not really a fan of violence, but he makes Yui feel at home.
Ruggie Bucchi
Look, I know Ruggie isn't a vice-housewarden, but the poor guy does most of the work of one AND MORE, so I'll include him. Because aside from his dynamic with Yui being so funny because of how confusing it would be, no one knows how someone like Ruggie could have dated someone like YUI. It's like a Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit dynamic, in a way.
I can definitely see Ruggie being either the reason Yui got scammed a couple of times or the one who prevented Yui from getting scammed a million times in TWST, there's no in-between. Part of him wants to laugh, but another part thinks it's pathetic and so naive of Yui to be so trusting that he has to make sure she doesn't fall into the wrong hands. This creates this strange "only I can take advantage of her kindness" dynamic, but eventually it turns into something quite genuine.
Ironically, I think it's more likely that Yui gets a little annoyed that Leona is constantly bossing Ruggie around and wants to go and have a quiet talk with him. Ruggie doesn't know whether to be worried about himself, Leona, or Yui; let's just say his neurons go off when Yui pets him.
Jade Leech
Phew, it's complicated with Jade. It was probably difficult for Yui to even be around him at first because of the sharp teeth and PTSD (adding Jade's disturbing aura didn't help much). It would take them a STUPID amount of time to have a normal conversation without Yui shaking like jelly (Jade can't decide whether to find this adorable, worrisome, or charming, or all of these at the same time).
When they do eventually manage to have normal interactions, though, Yui is much more relaxed around Jade (and the whole OctaTrio in general). I like to imagine Yui asking Jade quite a few questions about possible recipes (the first-years shudder at the thought), even going mushroom picking together! (Because the last time Yui picked one alone, it ended up being the inedible kind, she learned her lesson.)
Jade is the silently protective type, the kind where Yui doesn't really notice when she's in danger in the first place—she could be walking right next to him (probably chatting about Grim's latest faux pas that week), and as soon as Jade senses any kind of presence with ill intentions toward Yui, she just has to give THAT smile we all know. Without fail, every time.
Jamil Viper
OH MY GOD, JAMIL, part of him thought Yui was going to be a female version of Kalim because of how people talked about her, but thankfully he was wrong. Yui used to help out at her father's church, so ironically, she feels more comfortable helping Jamil prepare food than actually attending the parties. Overall, Yui ends up showing a level of interest in Jamil's physical and mental well-being that Jamil himself isn't used to, which leaves him on guard, but interested at the same time.
Considering Yui has anemia due to the events of DL, I think a pretty common date between these two is finding recipes to make together. Yui is good at baking, not so much cooking. Jamil is good at cooking, not so much baking (I get the vibe that Jamil is the kind of partner who will nag you like a mother hen, or apologize with food instead of words).
Jamil has almost died once in his life, and while it didn't really affect him in his current life, he's definitely surprised by Yui's mental resilience, having survived SO MUCH in such a short amount of time AND STILL being so...kind. Not holding any resentments and being able to live happily. It would be admirable if it weren't for the fact that now he knows that Yui didn't deserve what happened at all.
Rook Hunt
Rook, our favorite Stalker, similarly to Vil, takes an almost immediate interest in Yui thanks to her striking and delicate appearance, but Rook's interest is much more innocent and in the realm of romance. Yui is arguably the only person in NRC who doesn't find Rook weird (after the freaks she's seen, Rook seems like an angel). Besides, he acts like a genuine gentleman to her, opening doors, giving her shelter when it's cold, and lending her his hat when it's too hot. Yui thinks Rook is a sweetheart!
They would definitely make a super sweet couple, although Yui definitely wasn't used to receiving so much affection in such a crude, genuine way, given how much Rook flatters Yui, both for her physical beauty and for her personality and kindness, giving her cute nicknames in French, etc. Yui's no slouch, don't get me wrong. I feel like Yui likes to talk about Rook like he's her "knight in shining armor" (let's just say Rook did end up passing on some of his liking on poetry onto her).
Let's be honest, Rook probably knows all about Yui's past without her even telling him, but that doesn't mean he's any less effective at 1- comforting Yui and assuring her that everything will be okay, and 2- protecting her from potential future threats! Rook definitely doesn't know what kind of animals hurt his dear lady so badly, but he'll happily bring them back as trophies if it makes her feel safer and happier.
(LILIA IS PLATONIC DUE TO THE AGE DIFFERENCE. SORRY GUYS)
Lilia Vanrouge
Awww, Lilia thinks Yui is the cutest girl ever! Too bad the first few times they interacted, Yui was too scared of him to make any kind of real connection (let's just say Lilia reminded her of certain people). Similarly to the Diasomnia students, Lilia randomly appears near Yui and occasionally scares her, but he's pleasantly surprised when Yui, instead of being scared, starts greeting him and starting a conversation!
Yui learned the hard way to never let Lilia near the kitchen, ever, but at least she had a good time cooking (or trying to) with Lilia, whether it was sharing anecdotes about Yui's time with her father, her world, some minor experiences in TWST, etc. Let's just say that Lilia reminds Yui of a "younger" and livelier version of her father.
Because of this, it's not surprising that Lilia starts treating Yui like the rest of the Diasomnia quartet, encouraging her to join clubs with him and Silver, and taking her to her room when she stays up talking to Malleus—it's really no bother! She's family now, after all.
