If you shipped Tohru with Yuki (from Fruits Basket) you definitely shipped Yuki with Kaname (from Vampire Knight) and if you shipped Tohru with Kyo you definitely shipped Yuki with Zero. That's just the way things are

The only time Zero tried to speak some sense into Yuki, only for him to immediately drop it (which, to be honest, is something Hino loved doing: introducing potentially bombshell questions or conflicts that we as readers, wanted resolved, then never following through, usually by having something interrupt the scene. It’s her convenient way to keep plausible deniability.)

Anyway, I feel like that moment was Hino’s ridiculous attempt to show us ''see I'm pointing out the elephant in the room, namely, that Kaname had an innocent child’s family massacred, had the child endure a brutal, excruciating transformation into a vampire, and set him on a path that would inevitably end in his execution(level E), all to use him as a pawn.'' And yet, Hino lets that elephant sit there untouched, never properly addressing it again.

I think this is part of why I don’t like Yuki. She has the appearance of someone with strong convictions, someone who stands up for what’s right, but when it comes time to challenge her moral beliefs or make tough choices, she either bails or the author conveniently reshapes the situation so she never has to make a decision. There are numerous examples of this.

She’s more afraid of upsetting someone she cares about than she is of facing hard truths. Maybe that comes from her abandonment issues. Honestly, if the same night she slept with Kaname, Zero had shown up wanting to sleep with her too, I feel like she would’ve let him hit it just to avoid hurting him. It’s like she doesn’t have a will of her own anymore.

I don’t think she was portrayed that way at the beginning of the manga, but Hino definitely pushed her character in that direction as the story progressed.

This is why I don't really care for a Zeki or Yume ending because it feels cheap either way.

I have always loved how Yuki gave Zero the only handmade chocolate she got right (at least in appearance lol) while giving Kaname store-bought chocolate. To me, this perfectly encapsulates how I see her relationship with each of them: Zero represents comfort, trust, and authenticity but above all vulnerability. Someone Yuki can be real and imperfect with. Giving him her one successful homemade chocolate shows that, even unconsciously, she directs her truest self toward him. In contrast, the store-bought chocolate she gives to Kaname speaks to the distance between them. As much as she admires and reveres him, she chooses something safe and polished over something personal and imperfect, as if afraid that showing her true self might not be enough.

I think that was the moment I made my choice on who I'd ship hahah

Oh Zero, what an adorable softie you are. As much as he likes to pretend he joined the disciplinary commitee (despite hating it) to ''find the most effective way to kill those beasts in human form'', he is not fooling anyone as to his real motives.
