History HoYay / SeraphOfTheEnd

* When chastising Yu for prioritizing Mika's revival, Mika himself attempts to push the former away, saying that he deserves to live a normal, happy life and move on, even encouraging him to marry Shinoa and have children with her. It's clear that neither boys really believe what Mika is saying (with Yu pointedly rejecting Mika's pleas), and some fans commented that the argument was very similar to break-up arguments in Boys Love manga.

* Yuu is asked who of his family (squad) he likes the most. He says [[LoveYouAndEverybody they're all nice]].

* One chapter has Yu, after escaing the city with stolen snacks, take Mika into the mountains not only to hide but to watch the sunrise with him and get him to relax. The whole scene even culminates with another DeclarationOfProtection

** The manga has a scene where Guren describes Yuu's crying as [[CryCute cute]].

* Chapter 87 is just ''[[UpToEleven FULL]]'' of shipping material. When [[DemonicPossession Guren]] blasted away Yuu and Mika with a sword slash powered by his draining of [[LifeEnergy Shinya's and his other teammates' power]], Mika and Yuu [[HoldingHands made sure to hold hands]] to prevent them from being separated. If that was not enough, Mika once again [[GoThroughMe shields Yuu with his body just as Guren would have killed Yuu]], getting injured instead. How does Yuu react? By jumping away from Guren as fast as possible and fleeing with [[BridalCarry Mika in his arms]]. Looks like Yuu returned the favor for all the times Mika bridal-carried him. Not only that, but when Mika started drinking Yuu's blood to help him heal his back injury, Yuu cried out, complaining about why blood sucking had to feel so good and saying he hated it.[[note]]However, [[{{Tsundere}} he might not actually hate it]] seeing as he had offered his blood to Mika so many times before even when Mika already had other sources of blood.[[/note]] Despite that, Yuu was not mad at Mika even when he had to knock Mika away to prevent being sucked dry, telling Mika he didn't need to apologize and when Mika told him that his blood was delicious, he seemed flattered.

** Chapter 46 has a lot (combined with FoeYay) with [[DepravedBisexual Ferid]] showing up. He drives up in his car and holds out his hand to Mika and Yuu, with a flirtatious look and teasingly saying "I heard you two were being attacked by a dangerous vampire so I came to your rescue. Come take a ride with me. I'll save you." He plays mind games with Yuu and Mika throughout the chapter, and when Yuu turns into a demon to attack Ferid for [[spoiler: showing them Akane's head]] Ferid tells Mika he's "worried for the poor guy (Yuu)" because he's says Yuu could turn into a full demon. He states he has an antidote to cure Yuu and tells Shinoa "Let us go rescue dear Yuu." Mika is adamant to keep Ferid from getting near Yuu and says "I won't let you have your way with him!" Ferid smiles and says he just wants to help Yuu. Mika says he's not going to let Ferid touch him. Crowley engages Mika in a fight while Ferid states cheerfully "Now precious Yuu is all mine." Ferid approaches Yuu and blushes with an almost gentle and tender look on his face while saying "Wow! [[ShesAllGrownUp Haven't you grown]] into the [[{{Bishonen}} cute one]]! Your demon is on the verge of rampage yet you still have [[WhatBeautifulEyes such clear and beautiful eyes.]] No wonder you are the extra special guinea pig." He then lifts Yuu's face by his chin, rubs his lips, and gets close while staring into his eyes and saying "Perhaps before I heal you I'll take a little sip of your blood." Yuu asks if there's something in it for him if he allows Ferid to suck his blood. Ferid says he got the curse surpresent from Guren and it's the same one he takes. Yuu demands Ferid tells him everything he knows and Ferid smiles, covers Yuu's mouth with his hand, says "Oh, you ''are'' cute" and bites him while gripping his shoulder and hand. He then "cures" Yuu of his advancing demon curse while holding him close and leaning his head on Yuu's shoulder.

* Chapter 87 is just ''[[UpToEleven FULL]]'' of shipping material. When [[DemonicPossession Guren]] blasted away Yuu and Mika with a sword slash powered by his draining of [[LifeForce Shinya's and his other teammates' power]], Mika and Yuu [[HoldingHands made sure to hold hands]] to prevent them from being separated. If that was not enough, Mika once again [[GoThroughMe shields Yuu with his body just as Guren would have killed Yuu]], getting injured instead. How does Yuu react? By jumping away from Guren as fast as possible and fleeing with [[BridalCarry Mika in his arms]]. Looks like Yuu returned the favor for all the times Mika bridal-carried him. Not only that, but when Mika started drinking Yuu's blood to help him heal his back injury, Yuu cried out, complaining about why blood sucking had to feel so good and saying he hated it.[[note]]However, [[{{Tsundere}} he might not actually hate it]] seeing as he had offered his blood to Mika so many times before even when Mika already had other sources of blood.[[/note]] Despite that, Yuu was not mad at Mika even when he had to knock Mika away to prevent being sucked dry, telling Mika he didn't need to apologize and when Mika told him that his blood was delicious, he seemed flattered.

* [[spoiler:When Asuramaru encourages Mika to fall into despair and enact his worst nightmare/greatest desire (to be blamed for the slaughter of the orphanage kids), Yuu senses the danger and is quick to retaliate to save him. He even calls him "''my'' Mika" when he enters the realm.

** In the ''Unmei no Hajimari'' game Yuu blushes more times around Mika compared to his other friends.

** [[http://bakuracakes.tumblr.com/post/136710489193/owari-no-seraph-unmei-no-hajimari-mikaelas Mikaela's ending]] in Unmei no Hajimari features the two giving a pinky promise to run away together with everyone. Mika even admits to Yuu that if he were taken away from Yuu and made unable to see him again it would be terrible to which Yuu agrees. Also, the following translation from the game: (CG where a blushing Mika is clinging to Yuu’s shoulders and getting close to him) Mika: "After all… Let’s run away, just the two of us." It's a very romantic statement/image.

*** In the game, as Yuu and Mika are alone later, Mika starts heaving in pain, having not drunk blood for a while. Yuu and Mika have the conversation from episode 22, except Mika’s not dying but rather suffering a lot but that’s enough to make Yuu worry that he would eventually die from this because he would refuse to drink from humans. (you have the choices between letting Mika do w/e he wants or “forcibly make Mika drink from your neck”, in which Yuu says he will “force him to drink from him even if he doesn’t want to”.) When Mika drinks from Yuu in unmei no hajimari he clings close to Yuu with a flustered expression and heavy breathing sound effects which some fans have said can come across as sounding like moans.

** In Unmei No Hajimari when Mika tries to persuade Yuu to run away with him, he tells Yuu "Only look at me. You're not going to leave me alone again right?"

* Yuu tells Mika in chapter 44 in regards to why he didn't notice Ferid the first time Yuu and Mika met: "I was just so overwhelmed that you were alive and all...I guess...I was too busy looking at you to focus on anything else." Mika is left speechless by this and blushes leaving the implication that Yuu was too busy looking at Mika not only because he's happy he's alive but because he thinks Mika is good looking. When Mika points out that it will be harder to turn him from a vampire back into a human when Yuu himself is becoming a demon Yuu happily exclaims "I don't mind, because we're the same/we match each other!"

** The fanbook states that Mika had a habit of hugging Yuu, and in the manga/anime there are glimpses of Mika hugging Yuu when they were kids. Although Yuu makes more attempts to initiate contact between them after they meet again Mika is no less clingy towards Yuu especially in unmei no hajimari. In several of their scenes in the game together he holds/clutches Yuu to himself rather intimately.

** The following from Unmei No Hajimari and the manga/anime when Mika worries about Yuu's health:

** The beginning of Unmei No Hajimari follows the anime perfectly, but it goes a different route at the Nagoya mission: When Mika splits up with Lacus and Rene to save Yuu, he goes alone instead of taking random vampires with him. He approaches the human army when Yuu is about to take the other pill, talking about how he would rather die than be unable to save his family. However, seeing Mika makes him realize that what Guren said happened that one day someone would show up who would need him and that he should live for that moment: he actually says “Live and meet.. Mika came to meet me..” referring to the reason for him living appearing. Before screaming Mika’s name from the top of his lungs.

* In unmei no hajimari after Mika learns from Ferid that Yuu is alive he says he hopes he'll stay safe until he goes to save him. Yuu also gets more family events with Mika than with anyone else of the Shinoa squad and Mika only gets family moments with Yuu.

* One official art had the two sharing a blanket while reading a book together.
* In chapter 53 Mika is asked by Narumi if he feels like he had some humanity left despite being turned into a vampire. He wonders about his feelings for Yuu. Mika says he's steadily loosing his humanity and is composed whenever the topic of Akane's head, though he was angry at seeing her head, and bringing her back to life is brought up. He confirms Narumi's statement that he's feeling less and less emotion towards the family that he lost but notes that he has feelings for Yuu (it's ambiguous as to whether its romantic or platonic though) and says that the only thing that remains unchanged are his feelings.

* The following dialogue from unmei no hajimari:

* Ferid and Mika have the following extra scene together in unmei no hajimari:

* When Mika (and Yuu) prepare to fight against Ferid in unmei no hajimari Ferid demands that they "entertain" him.
* Ferid's implied stalker tendencies towards Mika. In the game unmei no hajimari Ferid shows up and tells Mika "I thought I could meet you if I waited around here." He also demands that the squad hand over Mika and Yuu for experimental purposes possibly.

** In Unmei no Hajimari Yoichi tells Yuu he worries about how if they (them and their comrades) will all be separated after they save the world and there's no need for a military anymore. Yuu hugs him from behind with both of them blushing and tells him not to worry about it, they'll always be together and he'll help rescue Yoichi if he's bullied again. Yoichi acts reassured and says when Yuu says it he feels like everything will work out.

** In unmei no hajimari there is a translation of a Yoichi/Yuu scene where Yuu is comforting a sad Yoichi and promising to get revenge for his sister for him.

** At the end of unmei no hajimari Kimizuki tells Yuu he needs to train more to get stronger when he blames himself for being weak and says he'll accompany Yuu in his training. The word he used in Japanese for "accompany" can also be used to refer to going around/out with.

* [[http://no-signs-no-lights.tumblr.com/image/135561418978 This screenshot]] from Unmei No Hajimari.

* In the bloody blades idol event, unmei no hajimari and in the manga he seems almost annoyed/exasperated with Mika's closeness to Yuu and interrupts their bonding moments occasionally.

* In unmei no hajimari there are scenes where Kimizuki acts like a typical tsundere to Yuu. Yuu challenges him to compete with him which makes Kimizuki rise to the bait and agree to compete even though he was uninterested before. In another scene Yuu prods Kimizuki for information about his sisters health to which Kimizuki responds its none of his business. Yuu says as his family its his job to worry about him to which Kimizuki scoffs and asks if he means to antagonize him to fight him. Yuu says if that will "satisfy" him then he should go ahead and fight him all he wants until he's satisfied.

** Kimizuki is very kind to Yoichi in the Unmei No Hajimari game in one scene, offering to eat his pasta he has no appetite for and taking the time to make rice porridge for him.

** In the Unmei No Hajimari game Ferid tells Mika that if he's feeling hungry he should drink from Yuu. He then says that if he drinks from Yuu he should also let Ferid drink from Yuu as well. Some fans have said there's the implication that he wants to "share" Yuu with Mika.

* When fighting Yuu (and Mika) in unmei no hajimari Ferid laughs and demands that Yuu "entertain" him. He also teases Yuu when he's glaring at him saying playfully "I don't know what you are angry at, but there's no need to glare at me, Yuu-chan" and orders Shinya to hand over Yuu (and Mika).

** Sayuri and Shigure decide to fight Ferid in unmei no hajimari with Mito saying she'll support the two of them.

* In unmei no hajimari Crowley informs his subordinates not to kill Yuu but that they're free to kill the others.

* Shinya is very friendly towards Yuu and he and Yuu get a scene in the manga where Yuu boasts that he's tough enough to beat Shinya in a fight and Shinya smiles and says "You're so adorable when you act tough. Just like Guren at your age." Shinya also gets close to look admirably at Yuu in one scene when he concedes defeat to Guren and says something to the affect of "How humble of you." Also, in a bloody blades event translation for White Day Yuu offers Mitsuba and Shinoa all you can eat cake at a restaurant before it's attacked by the four horseman of john. They celebrate with cake and Yuu is told the bill to which he answers he doesn't have that much money on him. Shinya decides to be nice and says the food is on the house because Yuu helped defeat the four horseman of john who were attacking the cafe. Yuu is genuinely touched by this. When Yuu overdoses on pills and is close to dying Shinya freaks out and tries with the others to force Yuu is vomit them up. In the game when Yuu asks Shinya to trust Mika, despite Mika being a vampire and their enemy, Shinya agrees to Yuu's wishes and decides to trust Mika. He also likes to call Yuu "Yuu-chan." He places his hand on Yuu's shoulder in serapuchi when telling him to abandon Guren while leaning close. When Ferid asks Shinya in the unmei no hajimari game to hand over Yuu (and Mika) and he'll let the rest go free Shinya is quick to refuse. When Kureto orders Shinya in the manga/anime to fight Yuu Shinya seems reluctant to attack him and initially refuses. When Yuu tries to fight Krul in unmei no hajimari Shinya stops him as he informs him they and the others can no longer fight with how tired they are like he's trying to protect Yuu from stepping into a battle he can't win in his current state.

* Shinya/Mika have a bit with Shinya deciding to trust Mika when Yuu asks him to and in the unmei no hajimari game he proclaims that he will protect Mika. He also is quick to refuse when Ferid demands he hand over Mika (and Yuu) in return for his and the others safety.

* Ferid/Shinya: Ferid rings for assistance in the butler cafe cd drama and Shinya serves him food and calls him master. Ferid wonders if they've met somewhere before as he feels like he remembers him. He also informs Shinya in unmei no hajimari he'd really like to make him and the others livestock (blood bags for him to drink from) but as he's kind he'll let him and the others go if they hand over Mika and Yuu.

** In the unmei no hajimari game Yuu blushes more times around Mika compared to his other friends.

*** The official 4-koma spinoff Serapuchi! is full of moments between the two. To start, Yuu is confronted by Asuramaru taking the form of Mika as an abandoned wife with child, and Ferid gives Mika a collection of photos and dolls of Yuu and informs Krul it's the way to "handle" Mika. Mika snatches the pictures from Ferid and ominously tells Ferid not to touch Yuu's picture with his filthy hands. Also, Mika yells to Ferid that the Yuu doll isn't really Yuu but can't bear to throw it away and plays with it. When Mika gets these items from Ferid he is seen repeating [[MadnessMantra "Yuu-chan..."]] in a dark speech bubble. In another illustration he is seen playing with a little Yuu doll and a Mika doll, making them interact with each other. Mika also destroys a robot Ferid made of him and declares that he will build a robot of Yuu instead. When Mika is made to fight a Yuu robot he declares that even if it's only taken Yuu's form he can't bear to destroy it. The demon weapon training is placed in the form of a simulation game in which a pained Mika suddenly appears and Yuu offers him his blood, ending with hearts and a "Happy End". Shinoa puts Yuu in the game dressed as a girl on the second try, and after Mika appears once more this time offering his hand to Yuu, Yuu says he will save him, ending with a "True End". In the school au, Yuu and Mika have a {{Crash Into Hello}}, and they blush at each other with Shinoa stating that she'll [[InvokedTrope "provide]] [[LateforSchool the toast"]]. When Yuu and Mika are forcibly separated by the class bell and are dragged off by Guren and Ferid respectively, they blush while dramatically reaching out for each other with a text that reads, "They can't leave each other again!" Mika even skips classes to [[StalkerWithACrush go and watch whatever Yuu is doing]], makes sure Yuu is doing well in his classes, gives him the answers, and also watches him from another bus. Also, Rene asks why Mika is staying at the academy when he hates vampires and humans. Lacus guesses its because of his attachment to Yuu-chan and Mika gets angry at him and tells him "Don't use your filthy mouth to say Yuu-chan's name." In the comic Yuu is seen being followed by little chicks and they climb on him because of the bread he was munching on left behind crumbs. It's implied the reason Mika dresses up like a chick is because he's jealous of the chicks around Yuu and says "I will be Yuu-chan's sword." Yuu also offers some of the bread to Mika. In [[http://no-signs-no-lights.tumblr.com/post/133338212118/hyakuyahime-no-signs-no-lights-hyakuyahime this]] comic Yuu enters the infirmary to get a cut bandaged and Mika worries over him saying "What happened? Are you okay? Were you injured? Are you not feeling well? Did someone do something to you?" Yuu says he's fine and also worries about whether Mika is unwell since he's in the infirmary. Another scene has the two playing against each other at soccer and Mika goes out of his way to deliberately tackle his own teammate so that Yuu can score a goal. Also, Yuu is talking to Yoichi about something when we see Mika appear at the window to their classroom sneaking a peek at Yuu.
** A number of official art featuring Yuu and Mika are telling, especially the Valentine's Day official art.

*** There's also [[https://artbooksnat.tumblr.com/tagged/owari+no+seraph/page/2 this picture]] where they are making cookies together.
*** Volume 4 of the second season's BD/DVD cover features [[SleepCute Yuu leaning on Mika's chest in between his legs; they both have their eyes closed and appear content.]] [[http://kinbari14.tumblr.com/post/140318978222/im-gonna-sleep-good-tonight]]
*** Then there's [[http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/681365 this]] picture of the two.
** In the fanbook it's stated that after Yuu saves Mika, Yuu wants to have curry with Mika like they used to.
** [[spoiler: The series's creator has stated that Mika's attachment to Yuu is stronger than his attachment to blood [[http://mimesisemblance.tumblr.com/post/117502956991/ons-qa-what-mikaela-chan-likes]]. Mika is already known to be an exception to many of the established vampiric traits, such as being able to shed tears and his refusal to drink human blood because of Yuu. As a result, the fanbook brings his nature into question: “Hyakuya Mikaela…can it truly be said he’s a 'vampire'?"]]
** Yuu tells Mika in chapter 44 in regards to why he didn't notice Ferid the first time Yuu and Mika met: "I was just so overwhelmed that you were alive and all...I guess...I was too busy looking at you to focus on anything else." Mika is left speechless by this and blushes leaving the implication that Yuu was too busy looking at Mika not only because he's happy he's alive but because he thinks Mika is good looking. When Mika points out that it will be harder to turn him from a vampire back into a human when Yuu himself is becoming a demon Yuu happily exclaims "I don't mind, because we're the same/we match each other!"
** The fanbook asks the characters what they look for in the opposite sex and everyone but Mika is asked this. Also he shows no interest in girls despite being a ChickMagnet (a vice versa for Yuu too) and he cares more about helping/saving his friends and Yuu than having romantic interest in girls. In fact he seems to have more romantic tropes with Yuu than anyone else. Yuu in turn shows no interest in girls and when asked about what he looks for in the opposite sex he answers "Shut up."
** In the manga Chapter 18, Shinoa teasingly asks Yuu "What are you looking at? Could it be you see a girl getting undressed?" Yuu denies this and Shinoa asks "So what do you really look at? Could it be that there's something in this ruined world that you ''must'' ''look'' ''at'' ''no'' ''matter'' ''what''?" To which Yuu replies, "I was looking to the west. There's no doubt that Mika's to the west, right? I heard that the vampire capital is located there".
** In the Vampire Mikalea novel Mika goes to Ferid specifically to allow him to drink his blood so he can get supplies to make the lives of Yuu and the orphans a little more bearable under the vampires and steals a map to get them away from the vampires. The text also states, as Mika's briefly giving into the weakness and immoral pleasure produced from after Ferid drinks from him that "No. For the sake of Yuu-chan and the children, he could not give in. Not like this. He could not face everyone so disgracefully." He then thinks "I want Yuu-chan to be as always, smiling strongly, saying stupid things like defeating the vampires. If not. If Yuu-chan doesn’t say those things or smile, if it comes to that, I’ll have to do my best.” Mika states that he doesn't want to let the children and especially Yuu to be near Ferid or have their blood sucked by him because of the immoral pleasure one feels from having their blood drank. He thinks "However, if Yuu-chan remains here, I don’t want to see him getting his blood sucked by vampires. I don’t want to think about Yuu-chan like that." He wants Yuu to remain pure and untainted and always smiling.

* [[spoiler:When (...) encourages Mika to fall into despair and enact hi sworst nightmare/gratest desire (to be blamed for the slaughteer of the orphanage kids), Yuu senses the danger and is quick to retaliate to save him. He even calls him "''my'' Mika" when he enters the realm.

Let's not deny it, there's a reason ''Seraph of the End'' [[FanYay resonates well with the LGBT community]]. For example, [[ChasteHero Yuu]] and Guren practically have a harem of both [[EvenTheGuysWantHim MEN]] and [[ChickMagnet WOMEN]]. The author has made it known in a Q&A that Yuu's "unexpected special skill" is to make others love him — outright implying Yuu's whole squad (male and female) has crushes on him, even using Kimizuki in the manga as an example.
