TouYue

TouYue is the slash ship between Tōya and Yue from the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom.

Canon
Touya and Yue have not that much interactions. Yue is aware of the affection that his altar ego, Yukito, has for Touya. Yue has no plans to interfere with Touya and Yukito and is aware of how both of them have feelings for one another. Yue is mostly a spectator in this case. Yue cares about Sakura, Yukito and is extended to Touya by default.

Touya and Yue meet for the first time in episode 65. Since Touya has the ability to see supernatural entities, he is able to see Yukito’s supernatural form. Yue tells him that Yukito did not want Touya, of all people, to know that he was not human, and instead just a temporary form. Yue tells him that he is well aware of the fact Touya has been telling Yukito how much he does not want him to disappear, so he asks if Touya is aware of what is needed in order for that to not happen. Touya confirms he does know and tells Yue that he is willing to give all of his power away if that is necessary to prevent Yukito from disappearing. He only asks Yue to protect Sakura, since he will not be able to know when she is in danger anymore. Yue tells him that there is no need for that condition since he would protect her as his master, even if it means giving up his body. Hearing this, Touya firmly says that he would be destroyed if that happens, because if he disappears, Yukito will as well. So he asks Yue to protect Sakura, but also to take care of himself.

Before the power transfer happens, Touya smiles and tells Yue that him and Yukito are alike. Touya weakens and falls unconscious in Yue’s arms. Yue places him on the bed, grazes his face and thanks him because his powers are back. Sakura hears everything from the door and decides to enter the room, she is very sad because she believes that it is her fault that Yue did not obtain the necessary powers to survive. But Yue comforts Sakura, telling her that her brother wanted him to protect her.

Fanon
TouYue is not such a popular ship within the fandom. It is overshadowed by the more-popular TouYuki; although it is Yue’s most popular ship, even more so than ClowYue. Due to the fact that Yue is Yukito’s “magical form”, this ship is usually confusing to fans of TouYuki since this might consider Yue being Yukito as well. However, Touya clearly knows how to differentiate between the Yukito he fell in love with and his magical form. He even treats Yue differently to Yukito in Clear Card.
