MayZuke

MayZuke is the het ship between Mayday and Zuke from the No Straight Roads fandom.

Canon
Mayday and Zuke are sewermates, bandmates, and best friends since they formed the band Bunk Bed Junction. Their camaraderie can be seen as an implication of a relationship, though when the topic of actually having feelings for each other is brought up, they deny it. Even with their differences in personality, they're able to balance each other out, Zuke's calm and rational behavior being an anchor for Mayday's hot-headed impulsiveness. Even when Mayday first thinks of rebelling against NSR, Zuke tries to calm her down, before a blackout changes his mind.

Zuke is the voice of reasoning to Mayday's "act first, think later" attitude. He is protective of her and dislikes when she becomes distracted by her infatuation with the NSR artists such as with Sayu and especially 1010, horrified that they "swayed her heart so easily".

Fanon
During the early days of the NSR fandom, MayZuke gained popularity due to their in-game interactions, with their relationship fitting the "friends to lovers" trope.

MayZuke is the most popular M/F ship in the NSR fandom, and arguably the second most popular ship next to NeonNova. It is also the second most popular ship on AO3, right behind NeonNova. As for Mayday and Zuke's character tags, it is the most popular ship.
