Naoya never has been so conflicted in his whole life, he's in love with another man.

Since you two met in a clan reunion he couldn't pry his eyes away from your figure, your strength and cursed energy was overwhelming and even if he'd rather die than say it out loud he was immediately swayed by your presence. In part he understands his attraction to you, he could never see himself with a woman but on the other hand being in love with a man is completely unacceptable, it feels wrong and to the Zenin clan it is wrong.

Even so he found himself desperate to have you - to own you, he tried making sense of it as an animalistic desire to possess something so powerful like you, you're driving him insane.

You felt as the Zenin held a blade to your neck the second time you were meeting, his gaze sharp and his lips pressed into a thin line, his eyebrows knitting into a frown. “...Why do you make me feel like this?” Naoya hissed through gritted teeth. “What kind of spell have you casted over me, you freak?”
