"Hey, Yato?"

"Hm."

"Where's Yukine?" she peeped out softly. Her face lifted itself from his shoulder, pink eyes gazing at the settling sun in the distance. Hiyori had yet, another 'fun' day with Yato at school, which resulted in a tired chaos. Maybe because Yato knew that she would always be able to forgive him, even if he possessed her body to prank the students around campus. In the end, she had suddenly collapsed once her soul laced with her body, as a whole.

His steps were slow and somewhat heavier than usual. Crisp, blue eyes also gazed into the distance. His hands tightened on her legs as he sighed loudly. "Probably back with Daikoku and Kofuku," he mumbled back.

All his ears could catch was her long exhale. He could feel how tense her body was, probably from chasing him all day. He'd admit, when she was back in her body, she seemed perfectly fine, until her knees gave out and her small body had fallen. Time passed slowly for Yato, and in those moments, he felt as if the world had stopped. He almost panicked as well when he caught her and tried to wake her, but realized she had passed out of exhaustion.

"Sorry for today, Hiyori," Yato insisted, frowning to himself.

"Good thing Yukine had left before he saw the end of it." Her arms tightened around his neck. "But, it's okay." Soft, pink lips curved up into a weak smile. Before she knew it, she was beginning to giggle in amusement.

Her light giggles were enough to get him to start chuckling as well. Her positivity, her enthusiasm, all were so contagious. "Yukine's right."

"About?" Hiyori arched an eyebrow, but squeaked as he suddenly jumped off the ground.

"You forgive everyone in a flash." Yato smirked as he picked up the pace purposely. His velocity was enough to get him to start hopping over the rooftops of nearby buildings.

Hiyori grabbed on tightly as he jumped from platform to platform. "Hey! That's not true!" Her giggles turned into laughter as he began to tease her once again.
