HMMM. That's harder to predict. He would play it calm and as long as he didn't think Vincent's reasons were stupid he would respect his decision and make sure you know, we can still be friends/brothers right? And I still care about you and love you and that won't change. And he wouldn't go looking for Vincent or bother him unnecessarily and you know on the surface he would be 100% fine!!! He's aware of the futility of trying to cling to Vincent when Vincent's not interested, so he would assume a much more distant position but still look out for him and be there to patch him up when he screwed around. And he would still consider himself a Nightray. He wouldn't give up hope with being with him again but he wouldn't chase him.

Internally it'd be a trainwreck. Vincent was the person who taught Yuri how to want and let him have feelings so the irony of the thing Yuri wants most taking itself away would be lolololol. He'd be like 5x more leery of letting people in and like 10x more leery of sex.

Would he actually?

Haha, his hands are tied. In our current thread, he had a moment where he wanted to just get it out and over with, but he remembered why he hasn't already, so . . . The fact that Yuri is far too locked in for Vincent to set him loose. Plus, he has become part of Vincent's image, as it were, so he would raise a lot of suspicion among Elliot and Gilbert if they were to separate. So, there isn't a lot of internal motivation, while he is following through on the motions because of external reasons.

In a funny way, it kind of tosses back to the conflict of Yuri and Vincent being public or private from way back when. When it's private, the decision on what to do and how to act is very much Vincent's own prerogative, rather than all of these outside influences that he can throw back to. If he were free to act as he'd like, then Vincent would probably close the book between them before pushing too far and ruining something he does truly enjoy.

Y-Yuri doesn't have feelings or desires with other people? Really? Or is it just that Vincent taught him?

[edgeofjustice]

Well he is a lot more opaque with other people I think (See Lloyd's comment). It'd be more accurate to say he doesn't really EXPRESS a lot of deep/real feelings with other people. So yeah, without Vincent (or rather, with people not Vincent) he would not outwardly express many personal feelings.

Is Vincent unaware of this...

[dormancy]

Vincent knows that he pushes for it, but he didn't think that it was an exclusive deal . . . For Vincent, he prefers to be left to his own devices and not have others draw him out. Even then, he has people that still try a lot, who want to make a connection with him as a person. So, for Yuri not to have that from others . . . Well, it means he plays the game better, but it's always disappointing. Vincent does think of Yuri as someone who should be loved as much as he struggles to cope with that. So, yeah, it would just be another reason to look down on people and the concept of humanity for Vincent, if he were truly aware that he was the only one.

Besides, it's not like Yuri isn't easy to play and pander to. It isn't rocket science, gosh. (Y-Yes, it is.)

Other conquests he would like to make? Or relationships around Aather that Yuri wants to deepen?
