be happy with the things she's done; (headcanon)
*Yuki is extremely formal when he addresses people, last name + appropriate honorific. He would only use first names if he is on really close terms with someone: so far, that is really...no one, even Yasuhiro gets the last name usage and he's known him for years now. He would use first names with someone he's dating, after a period of several months, unless there was a specific request to use first names sooner: he would revert to last names after breaking up with the person. He prefers being addressed with his last name + honorific, but will not correct anyone who chose to use a first name or nickname.
*He reads a fair bit, on his days off. Generally, he'll read anything, except trashy romance novels and most "medical thrillers": he finds most of them badly researched and will nitpick them to death before stopping reading. The same goes for any book that messes up its medicine/anatomy research, unless it's a fantasy book in which it has been explained Things Work Differently...and even then he will be fussy.
*His favorite genre is poetry, and his favorite poet Emily Dickinson: he also owns a fair number of translations of various foreign poets. He used to also read classic Japanese poetry, but has not touched any in several years, as his last ex was very fond of it, and that brings back bittersweet memories. Yuki couldn't bear to get rid of any of those books, even the ones Yuudai gave him, but ended up packing them away into a box about a month after their breakup and sealing it shut. He hasn't opened the box since, though he accidentally took it with him when he moved to Inaba.
*Yuki listens to a lot of foreign music, especially electronica and industrial: his taste usually runs towards the more melodic, like EBM, but if he's in the mood, he'll listen to aggrotech or militant industrial. Other then books, his major indulgence involves importing CDs...which is expensive as hell, so he has to pick and choose carefully. He listens to Alejandro's show if he's not busy working or asleep.
*Whenever he's depressed or angry, Yuki doesn't eat. He knows he shouldn't do it, but childhood habits die hard.
*He dresses kind of badly. Not sloppily, everything he wears is tidy, but he doesn't dress at all flatteringly. Everything he wears is in muted, dull colors that don't quite suit his complexion, and he wears his hair severely tied back. In addition, he is very shy about his body and always wears high-collared, long-sleeved shirts and pants when not in medical scrubs, preferring them to be big on him.
*If someone attempts to give him fashion tips, Yuki will politely thank them, and then promptly ignore the advice. If given clothes, he will wear them once or twice, to show that he is grateful for the gift, and then never wear them again. He's very happy with being able to dress the way he wants, as unflatteringly as he wants: his psycho ex was controlling to the point where he picked out everything Yuki wore, and the first thing Yuki did after the breakup, besides putting ice on his black eye, was give away all the clothing his ex had bought him and buy new clothes. He was basically almost completely broke for a couple of months afterward, but it was worth it.
*He hasn't cut his hair in years, other then trimming the split ends. His sister liked his long hair, and after she died, he couldn't bear to cut it. Yuki has grown to like his long hair, though: despite his usual hairstyle, it's his only vanity, and justifies it to himself with the fact that his sister liked his hair and wanted him to take good care of it.
*However, he did almost cut his hair off after he broke up with his psycho ex, who also liked his hair long and forced Yuki to wear it how he wanted. Yuki had the scissors in hand before he had a sudden flash of "my sister liked my hair and I like it, so why should I get rid of it just because Takahashi-san liked it as well?" and didn't go through with it.
*Yuki was the only one in the room when Michiko died: his parents were exhausted, and he convinced them that he would be alright to stay with her on his own. He heard what she said to him, but even a decade later, has convinced himself that his mind was playing tricks on him, as it was so very, very quiet. What she said was "live and be happy, brother", and he really did hear her.
*He is very, very aware of how feminine he appears and sounds, and is used to the constant mix-ups. The only time he has a problem with being mistaken for a woman is if it comes with being hit on, like Mibae does: however, Yuki has no desire to cause drama, so doesn't correct anyone. Really, he's very secure in his sexuality and gender, so being mistaken for something other then what he is doesn't cause him to be defensive about it: he knows what he is, even if others don't. This may be the most well-adjusted thing about him.
*Yuki is bisexual and prefers men: however, he has dated a couple of women. The first relationship ended, but amicably, when his girlfriend found out that he wasn't a girl. There were just all sorts of mixups in communication, and they ended up realizing that the mixups were kind of hilarious. They still are friends to this day: he writes to her fairly often.
*His other relationship did not end so well. It started out pretty good, and then it turned out he was dating a crazy Christmas Cake that tried to literally drag him to the altar. He was saved by the fact that no one would grant them a marriage license as no one would believe that he was a man.
*Yuki has a hidden fondness for sweets. He doesn't indulge this, except for fruit, most of the time as he tries to eat as healthy as he can. On the rare occasions he does indulge, he will allow himself one sweet treat, such as one cookie, and make it last as long as he can.
*He can be fairly domestic at times. Yuki is a fairly good cook and keeps his apartment spotless. In before jokes about him being a housewife.
*He doesn't have much attention span for movies or television, nor the time, so is often living under a rock when it comes to things like that.
*Yuki is not physically affectionate as a general rule of thumb, unless he really knows and likes you. He will put up with hugs/kisses from people not that close to him, but he won't reciprocate.
*Yuki speaks very softly most of the time and never raises his voice, not even when angry or in danger. Predictably enough, he is also very quiet in bed to the point of being almost eerily silent.
*He likes cats.
*He isn't much of a drinker, never has been. Prefers to be in control of himself.
*Yuki patronizes both the small businesses in the Shopping District and Junes. He prefers shopping at the family stores, but will go to Junes for what he can't get elsewhere.
