Yaeyato

YaeYato is the het ship between Kamisato Ayato and Yae Miko from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Fanon
Interest in the ship started when Ayato was first revealed. Ayato and Yae are canonically business partners. As well, they are aesthetically pleasing, with people referring to them as “Cotton Candy”. It was also fueled when Yae Miko was released, along with her voiceline about Ayato. In which it shows they know each other well.

In Yae Miko’s voiceline about Ayato, Yae mentions he is unpredictable, even from a young age. She goes on to say not to trust his “warm smile”, as there’s no way to know what he’s scheming. The Traveler proceeds to tease Yae by saying “sly as a fox”, because there are clear similarities between the two personalities. She reacts by saying that if we’re implying they’re anything alike, they’re solely mistaken. This fueled the thought of Yae not wanting to or even being oblivious to the fact Ayato and her are quite alike.

Ayato’s voiceline about Yae Miko is a bit different. He acknowledges that Yae Miko will call him a rascal and other things. Despite this, Ayato says they’re working relationship is “harmonious”. Ayato mentions that working with intelligent people (referring to Yae Miko) makes things “highly effective”. In the voiceline, he calls her ideas “weird and wonderful”, and that without him, there would be no one to help her execute them.

Quotes
"Lady Guuji has been kind to us in the Kamisato Clan, but she has never quite taken to me personally. I trust you'll have heard the way she refers to me... "the Yashiro rascal" and other such flattering monikers. We run into each other semi-regularly, given the overlap in our work, and despite whatever private thoughts we each may have, our working relationship is quite a harmonious one. I have no great objection to this state of affairs — working with intelligent people always makes things highly efficient. In any case... However objectionable she might find me, she would be forced to admit that without me, she would have no one to help execute her weird and wonderful ideas."

"The Yashiro Rascal, he's always been an unpredictable one; even as a child. Don't be taken by his warm smile, there's no knowing what devious scheme might be brewing inside his head. It's really quite maddening, What do you mean "sly as a fox"? Hmph. If you're trying to insinuate that he and I are anything alike, you are sorely mistaken."
