Momiru

Momiru is the het ship between Momiji Sohma and Tohru Honda from the Fruits Basket fandom.

Canon
It is heavily implied that he is in love with her as he teases Kyo that if he gives up on Tohru then another man and himself will take Tohru away, upsetting him because he's being teased. When his curse breaks, Akito begs him to stay but Momiji doesn't want to and accepts that he can't have Tohru. Although Momiji never told her his feelings because he knew her feelings for Kyo. Momiji tells Kyo that he's going to propose Tohru if he doesn't.

Momiji is also never afraid to hug Tohru which is quite strange to most since whenever someone inficted with the curse hugs or touches someone of the opposite gender then they transform into their designated animal.

Tohru often seems a bit nervous at first but doesn't seem to mind it after a while. There's also an emotional scene that might've helped fuel the ship. In this emotional scene Tohru asks where Momiji's parents are too which he informs Thoru that he does have parents however his dad rarely comes to see him and his mom has chosen to forget that she was his son. Tohru then learns the hard truth that when it comes to the parents and family of the Sohma curse that they're either extremely careful and protective like Kisa's parents, or they really can't handle it and they choose to just forget about their own child like Momiji's parents. In that moment Tohru reaches over and hugs Momiji saying that she'll never forget who he is no matter what which turns him into a rabbit and he starts crying. Which is the first time that we've ever seen Momiji break his character. And he admits that he constantly smiles and jokes around to hide the pain. After that incident they seem to have some sorta unspoken truce between them because now they know each other's past and therefore they have put more trust in the other.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Tohru's kindness towards Momiji and how Momiji got attached to Tohru. After their introduction the two are commonly seen hanging out together whenever Momiji comes to visit. Tohru often defends Momiji from Kyo and Hatsuharu whenever they get mad at Momiji for irritating them on purpose or whenever he tries to hog Tohru all to himself. Throughout the series the two are still extremely close and they both enjoy each other's company. While it's not the most popular ship in the Fandom due to Momiji's extremely young appearance and how Thoru had more popular ships with Yuki and Kyo there's still a small portion of the fandom that ships them.
