We fans have seen many rom-coms before. Those include a variety of situations and circumstances between the couple. But when it comes to Loid and Yor in Spy x Family romance between them is uniquely complicated. One is a spy, and one is an assassin. And adding to that complication, they are in a fake temporary marriage situation.

Even though it’s a very dynamic situation, where at any moment their fake family could fall apart, we are still fans….. We are still hoping they fall in love for real. It is slow, awkward, and full of comedy. But it keeps growing. So let’s dive right into the main topic: Does Loid love Yor? Or is it still just about the mission?

Loid’s Grenade Ring Proposal

We saw it in Episode 2 or read it in Chapter 2. Loid gave Yor a literal grenade ring while fighting smugglers inside a factory. No flowers, no diamond—just a metal safety pin from a live explosive. And the way he said those vows? “Let us support each other… until our jobs are done.” He even put the pin on her ring finger mid-combat. Damn.. he got rizz…

But if you look deeper, Loid was still in “mission mode” here. He needed a fake wife to pass the Eden interview. Yor needed a fake boyfriend to dodge suspicion. That proposal solved both their problems. So yes, it was iconic, and a foundation for a deep relationship ahead.

Loid and Yor’s Almost Kiss Scene

There were then many instances in season 1 where we could see they are growing closer. For example, in episode 9. Yor’s brother Yuri suddenly showed up and demanded proof of their marriage. And the funny part was he wanted A kiss (😒man… she is your sister.. grow up a little), right there in front of him. Loid leaned in in and Yor panicked. She chugged wine like a champion and somehow ended up pushing Loid down on the sofa.

That scene became legendary. But just as their lips were about to meet, she slapped him in embarrassment (which landed on his brother😂).

This “almost kiss” became one of the biggest fake-outs in anime. It showed that Loid was willing to go through with it for the mission, and Yor was struggling with real feelings. But again, Loid’s heart? Still locked behind layers of spy logic.

Yor Learning to Cook Just for Loid

Yor was a disaster in the kitchen. We know it, Loid knows it, Anya knows it. Even Bond the dog had a death vision after sniffing her food once. But that changed in Chapter 24 and Episode 16.

Yor secretly took cooking lessons from Camilla. She cut her hands, destroyed knives, almost poisoned her brother, and still kept going—just so Loid and Anya could eat something without dying.

That was not a mission for Yor. It was pure effort from her heart. Even Loid realised it. He stopped spying on her after that. He started trusting her actions.

A Silent Trust on Each Other

This fake couple barely knows each other, let alone their secrets. Loid is a spy, and Yor is an assassin. Neither one talks about their true job. But look at how they behave.

When Loid disappears for hours, Yor does not ask. When Yor sprints like a superhero, Loid just nods. They cover for each other without needing reasons. There were literally many instances where Yor showed her abnormal powers, like in the tennis match, or the fight on the cruise. Loid, despite knowing there is something odd, still trusts Yor.

By the time you reach Volume 9, Loid calls Yor “honest” and “good-natured” in his thoughts. Yor thinks of Loid as someone who always keeps promises. This silent emotional trust might not be love yet, but it is something deeper than a fake marriage. Something real.

Does Yor Love Loid? Yor’s Love Realisation

It happens in Chapter 120.

Yor sits alone and asks herself why she keeps thinking about Loid. Why his kindness matters. Why their time together feels more than fake. Anya even asks, straight up, “Do you love Papa?”

Yor touches her chest and finally says it. “I guess I might actually be in love with Loid.” She even tells Anya to keep it secret. She knows it is romantic, not family love. And more than that, she chooses this fake life because it makes her happy.

She falls first. No more guessing.

So… Does Loid Love Yor?

Yes, Loid loves Yor. But does he know that?…. No. He is kind of dumb when it comes to Love.

That is the honest answer. Loid cares and protects her. He listens to her and worries when she is hurt. He trusts her more than anyone else. But in his own mind, he still links everything to Operation Strix.

He never says “I love her.” He never thinks it. But It’s likely that Loid will realise what they have between them is Love.

Final thoughts

Loid and Yor are not your usual anime couple. They are awkward, broken, and stuck inside lies. But the way they keep growing, side by side, makes this ship so special. No one forced it. No one rushed it. It became one of the most loved anime couples—slowly, naturally, beautifully.

Now it is your turn—what do you think?
Will Loid ever admit it? Will Yor confess again?
