THIS is EXACTLY WHY I LOVE the LIGHT NOVEL!! Takabayashi-sensei's work is amazing!!
Also Wolfram always says he "loves and respects" Yuuri, which is not convincing enough as a confession because it basically refers to his love for him as a king.
I just love their interactions in the LN!!
Hello~~ I want to know your hc about how yuuri confession to wolfram đ
There are no headcanons needed, as Yuuri has already confessed plenty in novels and manga.
Chapter 108 where he tells Wolfram âI finally caught youâ , using the same words Wolf used when he saved him. As Wolfram will say later on âthe catchingâ is of course, falling in love.
Novel 9, chapter 9
-He tells Wolfram âYouâre cuteâ (Wolfram misunderstands and thinks Yuuri wants to turn him into a human sacrifice. Oh novels, I love you so~!)Â
In Japanese culture: You donât go around telling people theyâre cute, unless you like them.
Novel 14, chapter 7-
-The bed scene because itâs a tree that keeps on giving is a confession too (1)âThank goodness I still have you beside me.â(2)âYouâre being so honest about your feelings, itâs sickening.â(3) âI donât even have the strength to pretend anymore.â
Not only does Yuuri confess (1), but Wolfram acknowledges the confession and makes sure that Yuuri is saying what he thinks heâs saying (2); Yuuri confirms (3)
This scene is really spectacular in the drama cds (cd56, disc 1, track 11), first because there are some added words to it, second because you can hear the tone in their voices. Although the word âsickeningâ might not intuitively feel like love in English, it works in the context in Japanese. Wolfram is pretty much saying âyouâre being straightforward about your feelingsâ and Yuuri is saying, âyeah I amâ.
-Novel 15, chapter 5Yuuri asks Wolfram :âWhatâs the meaning of that punch to my stomach? Do you want a divorce? To remarry another person?â
I think weâre a bit past âconfessionsâ once Yuuri starts assuming that theyâre married.
- End of Seisakoku arc (nv.15, chapter 8)Marriage talk continues: Yuuri accuses Wolfram of domestic violenceâŚ. If youâre not family, itâs not domestic violence, itâs just violence. Once again, Wolfram misunderstands the whole thing. In novel 15.5 heâll talk about Domestic violence again, this time feeling bad himself for having stabbed Wolfram back then.
And for those of you who havenât read my past analyses:Japanese people donât say I love you (aishiteiru is never used in rl). They rarely say âI like youâ. A vast majority of MARRIED couples have never said âI love/like youâ (suki da).Â
In Japanese there are all sorts of euphemisms to say you like someone, without having to use the words.
And if saying that âThe moon looks beautiful tonightâ is a love confession, I think that asking someone if they are trying to divorce you, has a very âweâre a married â tone to it, no?Â
AND, if the âLove Letterâ story in the last doujinshi, where they write things they like about each other, arenât 26 damn love confessions then I donât know what is!
Itâs lovely how yuuram fans (not just you, lovely batkray) all want a confession from Yuuri âŚ. but no one wants one from Wolf? Why not?Â
Is it because he tells Yuuri heâs beautiful? Well, guess what? Yuuri always replies with a âyouâre more beautiful than I amâ to Wolf.
Is it because he sneaks into Yuuriâs bed? Well, guess what? Yuuri is the one who lets him come into his room, sleep, and stay with him. There IS a lock in the door. (novel 4)Is it because Wolfram pretty much jumped Yuuri to have sex with him in the second novel? Well, guess what? Yuuri didnât say no. He panicked a bit and jumped into the ofuro saying âYou donât want to do it with a smelly guy, right?â He was buying himself time, not knowing he was returning to earth, and his mouth intuitively said yes to Wolf. âYes, lemme take a bathâFor those of you who donât know this: Japanese people ALWAYS take a bath before sex. Yuuri didnât run back outside to the corridor to get help (pretty sure there are soldiers guarding him around the clock), he went to the ofuro TO TAKE A BATH! He even said the wordsâ You donât want to do it with a smelly guyâ.
Didnât Yuuri go above and beyond confessing? Donât Yuuriâs words and actions count, too? Didnât he choose Wolf to go with him on an âadventureâ, knowing it would just be the two of them in Seisa arc? Didnât he call Wolfram cute? Didnât he almost loose himself when he thought Wolf was dead? Doesnât he constantly think about Wolframâs beauty and braveness, and is terrified of that time when Wolf almost died? Didnât he tell Wolfram heâs happy to have him in the bed scene? Didnât he get in bed with Wolfram to get comforted by him, telling him he couldnât pretend anymore? Didnât Yuuri ask Wolfram if his punch meant âdivorceâ? Doesnât he talk about Wolfram and himself as having âdomestic violenceâ issues? Didnât he COMPLAIN that Wolfram isnât sleeping with him since Seisa? Doesnât he refer to Wolfram as Gretaâs father!? Doesnât he say that Wolfram is the only one who can understand him when it comes to parenting Greta? Didnât he tell Wolfram in misepan 2 that he would give him anything Wolfram wanted? Wolfram didnât say that⌠Yuuri said that! Didnât he sit down to write wonderful things about Wolf in âLove Letterâ? The doujinshi is called Love Letter! And how about Crossheart? The story where he asks Wolfram if he would cry if Yuuri wasnât there anymore? Yuuri plainly said he WOULD cry, and Wolfram said he wouldnât because he didnât want Yuuri to be sadâŚ. Not to mention that before Wolfram explained himself, Yuuri immediately felt hurt because he thought a fiance should cry.
Conversely: Has he ever done any of these things, thought any of these things towards anyone else? Is anyone else Gretaâs father? Did he tell anyone else he would give them anything they want? Did he ask anyone else if they wanted a divorce!?Â
In my opinion, anyone refusing to accept that Yuuri has confessed to Wolfram, has professed his love with words and actions has simply not read the novels; or is negating half the canon to fit some other ship.
