Nayushiki

Nayushiki is the slash ship between Nayuta Yatonokami and Shiki Ando from the Paradox Live fandom.

Canon
Shiki and Nayuta first met when Shiki was getting harassed and beat up in an alley, his wallet getting stolen by the perpetrators. Fortunately, Nayuta was walking down the same alley just as the perpetrators left, Nayuta bumped into them after seeing the incident going down, stealing back Shiki's wallet. Nayuta proceeds to call Shiki lame for letting himself get pushed around but then states that Shiki has a nice hobby after seeing the album that Shiki was holding onto, stating that he likes the group that produced it as well. Nayuta then hands Shiki's wallet back to him and offers to take him somewhere to eat as his treat. The two of them then officially introduce themselves to each other, shaking hands and quickly becoming friends.

Shiki states to himself that Nayuta is his first friend as Nayuta takes him up to an abandoned building to a spot on the roof where he usually hangs out. The two are then seen hanging out regularly, usually on the rooftop and down alleyways. After a while, they start adding furniture onto their rooftop hangout to make it more cosy and a more relaxed place to hang out. When sitting on their newly found sofa, Shiki asks Nayuta if he plans on continuing doing his part time job, Nayuta responding with saying that he will continue doing the job as he can't quit because the pay is good and he doesn't want to be a burden to his twin brother, Kanata. Shiki is still very worried about Nayuta as he has noticed him looking much more pale and frail recently, however, Shiki lets the conversation go.

Later on, at night, Shiki goes up to the rooftop after being told by Nayuta to meet him there, he opens the door to the roof to see Nayuta standing at the ledge. Immediately Shiki asks him if he's okay and why Nayuta had asked him to meet him at the roof which leads to Nayuta apologizing and saying that he wanted to see Shiki one last time. Apologizing once again Nayuta states that he should've listened to Shiki and that he can't go on anymore as he goes into a coughing fit, Shiki immediately running up to him, visibly concerned, however, Nayuta gestures for him to stand back as he was infected by phantometal corrosion. Nayuta then tells Shiki that he is going to end his own life, afterwards stating how he was glad to have met Shiki. Shiki begs for Nayuta not to end his life however, Nayuta ignores his pleads and falls off the roof, although Shiki reaches out his hand to grab Nayuta, he hesitates which leads to Nayuta falling to his supposed death whilst smiling up at Shiki.
