- The thread with Zexion was the first spot Yamamoto actually slowed down enough to be upset. Or rather, it's the most vulnerable he let himself be, which means feeling upset surfaced. This was basically possible because while Yamamoto has no idea who Zexion is, he ~feels~ like he trusts him, and Zexion hugging him bounced that up to a more specific older-figure-trust. - That is a really unique feeling actually! The only person he has really had to consistently confide any weaknesses in (Squalo and Chrome sure, sometimes, but nooot always/often) is Reborn himself. Otherwise he just internalizes all his issues! So someone actually being there, even if just for a brief moment, right when Yamamoto is possibly the greatest cornucopia of hahawhattttttt since that time he was 13 on the side of a building, is... magical timing... - So frankly that dose of just simple comfort was perfectly timed to make Yamamoto totally dere for Zexion, and he basically just wants to hang out around him. Like. an injured dog that has grafted onto a small show of kindness and now he just wants to follow him around 8D; it is a uniquely powerful feeling and interest/draw to Zexion that's basically totally different from anything he ever felt in camp, so I am excited.
idk if you've answered this but what IS the huge rift between zexion and dera, was it caused by something =|a or is it just a comparison between the old relationship and the newer mixed up sabra one?
