Okay well that thread they just had went from A to B to C at like. Breakneck speed.
Raven does tend to top him just by, like, attending to his feelings. Yuri doesn't even attend to his OWN feelings so that's a pretty big gap in his defenses. In the endgame thread Yuri did flinch, in a big way--it's hard for him to just ACCEPT the fact that Raven has the feelings he has for him; he definitely doesn't think he deserves that much feelings and he is sooo nervous of mishandling them. You could say he is thinking too hard about 'What is the best possible thing I could do for Raven' but it's not in an 'obligatory' sense--he wants to make Raven happy because Raven is Raven and important to him, thus why he got so frustrated when Raven was so caught on Yuri 'needing' him or not. His love for Raven is... not romantic per se, but more naively simple.
It stuck with him, what Raven said about it being okay to want or need people for no reason, and that's sort of what he used to push through the rough spot in that thread. Just--he WANTS so firmly and recklessly for things to work out but it feels like every time he steps he falls into a hole. But he will keep climbing out of the hole and trying.
Reverse! And, does Raven know the extent to which Yuri is in a serious relationship with someone else? Does it bother him?
