the way jamie describes yzei jdfjfjdks yeah. basically! in !-era yuzuru was described to be a "servant with a wicked tongue" and while theyve changed that character profile descriptor for him in !!-era, im glad hes still kept his tongue. he LIKES eichi and has grown to trust him and sincerely wishes to be his companion and follow him everywhere until the end but he also finds a lot of pleasure in making eichi feel or look really fucking stupid, which is something that i would feel more bad about if eichi wasn't constantly making TORI feel or look really fucking stupid.

i enjoy the part in their dynamic where yuzuru doesn't tolerate any of eichi's bullshit despite having recognized him as one of his young masters and whatnot. yuzuru undoubtedly does care deeply for eichi and it's been acknowledged before that he will usually do anything eichi asks of him because that is what he wants to do but that doesn't mean he's going to stop being a piece of shit sometimes. they're a master and a servant but it almost feels like there's no real exertion of power that is being made there. they. honestly most of the time feel like just coworkers who have become very familiarized with each other. and i guess that that is quite literally what they are in technicality. but also they give off the impression that they are a lot more than what they let on and definitely fuck while nobody is looking (well... there IS one person who is allowed to look), so!

power play is so fun and eiwtyz actually pull it off so well and it's so satisfying to think about how they naturally could just push and pull at each other. and it's something that happens already outside of sex which is brilliant.

i don't think yuzuru is generally a fan of punishment either but i think he's been indoctrinated to believe that it is something that is necessary especially given that it is implied that kind of thing was incorporated into his training and learning. and he probably understands that bdsm as a practice does usually include that sort of aspect to it. that could probably come up as a topic of discussion between all three of them and maybe wataru and eichi could help yuzuru unravel that way of thinking a bit during and afterwards.

in the context of "and why would the servant be punished if the master's lacking ability caused his noncompliance" though then godddd Yeah. i think yuzuru has strong opinions about that kind of thing and how they should be done and when it is necessary. since he grew up the way he did. and also he obviously knows when something is his fault and when something isn't so he's definitely unafraid to voice that or continue forward with that stance.

i hope i'm making sense actually i feel like i'm not being comprehensive enough in this
