I have been up for almost 20 hours and all i can think of are cid and nero lets go 
OOOOO its hard to think of where to start but i just. okay. Lets start at the Begining(tm). The thing is Cid probably never really had anyone who saw him as anything but Midas' son for the longest time, and here comes this other kid (the ONLY ONE HIS AGE in ALL OF THE ACADEMY mind you) who does not give two shits about who the fuck his father is and only views him as an actual rival, it must've been so refreshing and something he probably really needed in life!! Like he was a wee boy when they first met but still, at that point he was probably trapped in his father's shadow (haha wow the irony in that rip Nero) and here comes this other person who just sees him for who he Is and judges him based on that. Hell even Gaius who is like 'i judge based on merit or whatever' still saw him as Midas' son.
And like?? You can see the effects of that even in the storyline, how even Nero begins to resent how no one views Cid as anything but his father's son (albeit for very different reasons) but it just hammers home that, while in Garlemald, Nero was probably the only person who saw him for who he really was?? Man thats gay shit. Anyways, Also it astounds me the amount of Trust Nero has for Cid. Like yeah they are divorced(tm) but it's shown that Nero is absolutely someone who does not trust easily. He's traumatized! But even when injured in the omega questline he keeps on going to help out and even sticks around afterwards as he's healing. Nero kinda strikes me as the kind of guy who, if he didn't absolutely trust Cid, would've bolted the minute things got dicey!!! ESPECIALLY when hes like almost dying hello?? Bitch stayed and helped because Cid needed him and cause he TRUSTED HIM!!! WTF!!!
Also on that note it's really wholesome to see how Nero knows exactly how to help Cid when its needed. Like that moment (you know the one) in the omega questline where he calms Cid down in his own asshole-y way that's just right to get Cid back on track?? Perfect, amazing, show stopping, fantastic. Like he didn't need to, Cid probably would've been able to do it without that but by god he noticed (HE NOTICED WAY EARLIER TOO he knows the mans tells so much) and Did Something about it! Why else would Nero, self-appointed 'im only doing this for myself', help out if he did not care for Cid?? This is friendship business i tell you.
Anyways for better or for worse the two of them compliment each other and push each other to do their best AND feel their best even if they wont admit it!!
Square enix please give us more Nero in endwalker PLEASE i am BEGGING you i desire it i need it we ALL need it please please pelase please pl-
