A/N: Okay, I'll keep this short. I haven't written any fanfics in a while, so this is the first one that I've published in years. I've recently started reading and watching Noragami and instantly fell in love with it! How this story is going to work is that each chapter will be like a short vignette and the word count (along with pairings, genres, and ratings) will vary and fluctuate a lot. I will try my best to give a heads up at the top of the story. I haven't decided whether it will strictly be Yato's relationship with different characters or just relationships between characters in general, we'll see how it goes. But as always, enjoy and I hope you can R&R if you have the chance to with any thoughts, comments, reactions, or ideas! Thank you.

ps. The title comes from the saying "We're not so different, you and I"

Disclaimer: Disclaimers suck. They're so repetitive. WHATEVER, I own my writing, the characters to their rightful owners (le siiiiiiiigh).

Pairing: Yato and Yukine, K+


00. Yukine, "Prayer"

"We did it Yukine!" Yato exclaimed as he and Yukine stood before an almost miniscule wooden box.

"We did what exactly?" Yukine asked rather reluctantly as he stared back at the expectant Yato.

"THIS!" Yato puffed out his chest as he pointed to the box.

"You built a birdhouse-" Yukine didn't even have a chance to finish his sentence before Yato smacked him on the head.

"Look closely!" he said, and Yukine obeyed. He still saw a small wooden box, but with a closer look, he was able to see what Yato wanted for him to see. The "birdhouse" was made of finely cut oak. It was coated with a dark, maroon tinted resin which gave it a soft shine under the midday autumn sun. Under even closer scrutiny, he was able to see the different shades of the color which gave the wooden box a more elegant look. And when he looked under the roof-like cover of the box, he was able to see a little nameplate with something written on it… almost like...

"A shrine?!"

"Yeah, my first one. After doing all of that work, I was finally able to afford one. It's great isn't it?" Yato looked down at the mini shrine with such pride and adoration. "This is the first step Yukine."

"Did you show Hiyori yet?" he asked. Yato shook his head.

"Nope, but we'll show her eventually." Yato said as he brushed off some leaves that had fallen on his shrine. Yukine looked back at the shrine. He too felt a sense of pride. After months and years of hard work and saving up 5 yen coins, Yato finally had a shrine. Yukine's reverie was interrupted when Yato took his hand a placed a 5 yen coin on his palm.

"What's this for?"

"For you to make a wish."

Yukine glanced at the coin before handing it back to Yato. "I don't need to make a wish."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am! Now stop being stupid and let's go, Kofuku and Daikoku-san are waiting for us." With that, Yato and Yukine walked back to the shop.


Later that day when Yato came back with Hiyori to show her his new shrine, they found a lone 5 yen coin placed on the base of the structure.

"Someone already made an offering to you, Yato!"

"Huh, so it seems…" He replied as he reached for the coin.

"I wonder who found your shrine? What do you think they prayed for?"

"I wonder…"


I just want to be with you for as long as I can. That's alright with you, right? -Yukine
