Prompts: Fate, One Color (Red)
Intertwined Verily
Hiyori walked through the people-filled streets as she headed towards Kofuku's place. It had become a routine for her, when she was free after classes she would always take time to visit the poverty god's place and teach Yukine or just simply check up on him and Yato. She didn't mind the trouble, not at all. She was happy, and that was what's important.
Meowing sounds caught her attention. As she turned her gaze to the source of the sound, she saw a young boy cradling a cat on his arms while patting its head.
"It's okay, Ue-sama. We'll get home soon! I'll feed you as soon as we get there.", the boy comfortingly muttered to the feline.
The name sparked pangs of nostalgia in her. Ue-sama. That missing cat Yato looked for which caused their first meeting. The cat who led her to find Yato again. She giggled to herself, remembering how she risked jumping toward the bus just to save Yato. How she tried a Jungle Savate on a Phantom to save the Regalia-less Yato. And who would've thought that would be the start of everything?
She continued walking, slowly reminiscing on memories of her friendship with Yato and Yukine. The whole walk to Kofuku's was like a nostalgia trip. Once she got to her destination, she was welcomed by Kofuku's glomp, Yukine's greeting, and Daikoku scolding the freeloading Yato. She smiled. It was the usual scene.
Yato then clung to her like some child, asking her to save him from Daikoku. But seeing as they were not children, it looked liked Yato was hugging Hiyori. She could smell her favorite scent with their close proximity. Said girl blushed a brilliant red, embarrassed with her thoughts, and beat the crap out of the delivery god.
It all ended in a laugh, smiles on their faces.
She wondered if it was really fate that led her to meet Yato. She closed her eyes, and she knew the answer. Yato had always said it.
May our fates intertwine verily.
If there was a red string tied to her fingers, she knew that the person's finger tied at the other end of the string was his. Her most important person's. Yato's.
