Yato was gloomy for the rest of the week. Yukine's attention was focused entirely on Umi. Yato however spent his time watching him cook, run errands and sleep. That didn't label Yato a stalker, not at all. Okay Yato had to admit he did sound like a stalker. But Yukine was spending too much time with that cat instead of him. An idea popped into his head as he decided to seek advice.
"Hiyori! Please! I need help!" He stated. Tapping on her window.
"Yato? What do you need help with?" She asked letting him inside.
"It's about Yukine…"
"Did you finally get the guts to tell Yukine that you like him?"
"How...wha? When?" Yato was at a loss of words.
"You are so obvious Yato." Hiyori giggled. "Everyone knows it."
"I'm hopeless." He mumbled, laying down on Hiyori's bed.
"No you aren't. Yato I expected more from you. You're the most expressive person I know. I bet you can tell him."
"Right!...Also I have to confront you about something I found."
"What did you find?"
"I found your stash of magazines."
Hiyori froze. "W-what magazines? I don't know what you're talking about."
"I was just talking about the magazines about those two dudes wrestling each other or something."
"They aren't mine!"
"Whoa no need to be defensive. I never thought you loved martial arts that much." Hiyori sighed in relief. He just found her martial arts magazines.
"Haha well you know Tono is the best there is." She stated nervously. 'Thank god he didn't go through my closet...' she thought to herself. "But Yato you shouldn't go overboard. Don't blow things out of proportion."
"Right! Yukine! I'll get rid of that cat if it's the last thing I do!"
"Cat!?" Hiyori exclaimed. She stopped Yato from leaping out the window. By grabbing him by his fluffy fluff scarf. "What cat Yato?" she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Um...nothing." he stated.
"Yato? Don't make me use my jungle savate on you."
"Fine, okay so Yukine brought a cat with him and he's been spending so much time with...Umi." He said her name with disdain.
"Yato...are you jealous...of a cat?"
"Me! No."
"Yato."
"Fine I'm jealous of the damn cat."
"Is that why you're covered in bandages?"
"Maybe."
"Yato she's just a cat."
"No, she's plotting my demise."
"Cats can't plot your demise."
"This cat is different."
"You're over thinking things."
"Umi is a cat from hell. Yukine is like the apple of her eye...no, the best piece of tuna."
"Yato. Just take Yukine to the movies or something. Umi can't follow him there."
"That could work….Thanks Hiyori I owe you one." He stated. Before he could leave again. Hiyori grabbed a hold of Yato's shoulder.
"Oh, Yato. You owe me tickets to see Tono live." Her tone left no room to argue.
"Okay. Your wish has been heard loud and clear." He leaped out of the window, back to Kofuku's.
Yukine was working at Kofuku's. Cleaning, cooking and just all around helping Daikoku out.
"Daikoku, the soup is ready."
"Alright kiddo."
"Yu-ki-ne!" Yato exclaimed running to him. Arms outstretched and ready to hug him. Which would have happened if Yukine hadn't kicked him in the gut.
"I'm working." He replied going back to cooking.
"Oww...so cruel." He picked himself up from off the ground and dusted himself off. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me."
"Movies? What movie?" Yukine asked quirking an eyebrow.
"Just a regular old movie."
"Okay, but after work." Yato grinned from ear to ear at his answer. He walked away with a dreamy look on his face. But he shivered when he heard her. He looked down to see Umi, glaring at him. "Back off cat." she hissed and sauntered off. As childish as it was Yato stuck his tongue out at her. Besides he had a date with Yukine. So everything was good. Right? After work Yukine hung up his apron and bid Daikoku and Kofuku a farewell.
"Don't be out too late." Daikoku stated, like an overprotective father.
"Alright Daikoku." Yukine replied. "Let's just get this over with."
"After you." Yato replied. Yukine walked past and just as Yato was about to follow him. He was stopped by Daikoku.
"You pull anything without his consent you're a dead god." he threatened. Yato gulped and scurried backwards.
"Loud and clear." He replied hoping his voice didn't crack. But it most certainly did. He jogged up to Yukine and together they walked to the nearest theater.
