A.N: This story was supposed to be one shot but I just can't resist to add this extra chapie. So please enjoy
He always dreamed the same thing every single night
"Do you really think you can stand by your own?"
He lived by those words all the time. Chasing and echoing in his mind every time he made an achievement.
"Father and I both love you Yato. We'll never betray you"
He believes them. Of course, they were his companion for years. But not even once the job he was forced to do come to his liking.
Killing
Revenge
He is the god of calamity, such thing is his job. But he'll always search for an escape.
A time of freedom
His father gave him that. It won't last long, it never last long. 'At least I can escape from them' that's what he always thought. He lives in that cycle, rotating without end.
He lives in that cycle, until Hiyori and Yukine came to his life.
A human and a shinki
How many shinki does he have after all of his years of life? He doesn't remember. But no one stick around him for long. Only Yukine do so.
The same apply with her, Iki Hiyori. She's the first human ever save him. He always wondered how come she can see him the first time they met, but as time goes by he didn't care about that anymore. He's glad that she saved him that day. She's the first mortal ever remember him for long. People he ever met will just forget about him, except her.
Because of them, he refused to give up on his dream.
"Will Hiyori and Yukine continue to like you? They'll leave you Yato"
Will they? Even he, a god, is afraid of the truth. He is scared to live in that living hell anymore. He doesn't want to betray them.
Sometime he dreamed that he become a big god with many follower and shrines
It's just a way to swipe away his fears, he still scared of being forgotten, because that means he will disappear.
A lifeline
That's what keeping him exists all the time because not even a single trace of him will remain in people memories.
"A LIFELINE?! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH! EVEN IF YOU FUCKING DIE, I WILL NEVER DISSAPEAR"
"AS LONG AS THERE IS SOMEONE… Who won't forget about me"
Ah, he did say such thing. 'As long as Hiyori won't forget about me…'
"I won't forget you Yato"
That night, he dream a real happy dream
He can feel the warmth beside him. The sounds of Hiyori laughter and Yukine rambles comforts him in many ways and he wished that dream never end. He can't let it end
"Ugh…" Yato stirred as he slowly opened his eyes while the dim light that came from the lamp on Hiyori nightstand greet him. He remembers being drunk and transport into Hiyori room while Yukine chase him and…
He forced them to sleep with him
It was a nice feeling, cause he feel so comfortable in their presence. Yato close his eyes once more and hope 'If I see beside me, I'll find Yukine and Hiyori beside me right? It'll be a great start of the day' Yato smile and open his eyes
But he found nothing
The place beside him is neat. He checked around to see his surrounding, he is in Hiyori's room but he still can find the person he is looking for. "Yukine… Hiyori… Where…" He mumbled.
'No no no no, tell me it's a lie. Tell me that I'm dreaming. That's right, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming'
"If I wake myself, I'll surely find them" He said as he griped his jersey tightly. But he can't wake up
Because this is reality
Yato opened the room's door with a loud bang, and frantically searched the whole house, everywhere, but still no one. 'They can't be outside the house, its past 1 a.m, that's impossible, they're not stupid'
"HIYORI!" He finally yelled, hoping that someone will answer, someone, please… anyone
"Yato?" ah, that's the voice he wants to hear. Yato turn around and find both Hiyori and Yukine standing with a bag of groceries on their hand.
"What's with the loud voice Yato, you'll wake the neighbor" Yukine complained as he closed the door behind him.
"Where did you go?" He asked, still scared that they're not real.
"Oh, Yukine got hungry so he wake me but there's nothing in the fridge since you ate it all so we went to the nearest minimarket. They have 24 hour service you know" Hiyori show him the large plastic bag she hold.
Yukine, still in his borrowed coat walk past away Yato and headed to the kitchen "It's your fault from the very first place, if you didn't eat it all we didn't have to go out at this kind of time"
"Now, now… Oh, I brought some beer to. Do you want some Ya…"
Hiyori couldn't finish her sentence as she feel herself being pulled to Yato chest. His hands wrapped tightly around her body, afraid of letting go. "Yato what's wrong?..."
"OI YATO, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HIYORI?! DO YOU WANT HER TO BE STICKY FROM ALL OF YOUR SWEATS!?"
"I'M NOT SWEATY YOU LITTLE! IS THAT THE WAY YOU TALK TO YOUR MASTER?"
"OF COURSE, NOW LET GO"
"WHY YOU…"
"STOP IT YOU TWO!" Hiyori yelled, hand on her hips and a scowl on her face. They figure that a mad Hiyori is threatening and dangerous
."Ye.. YES!" They both shouted
"Why is it that the two of you always fight? Can't you two become good for once?"
"Gomen Hiyori…"
"Hey Hiyori, do you know what?" Yato interrupt
"What now?"
"You look like a mother scowling her son"
"Your point is?"
"If Yukine is the son then I'll be the husband"
"Wha…" A bright blush suddenly crept out and she could feel the blood rushing toward her face.
"Now don't be mad honey, me and our son just trying to deepen our father-son bond" he smirked as he placed his hand around Yukine shoulder.
"GROSS, GET AWAY. I'll never want to have a father like you!"
"Honey, our son is meanie to me!" He moaned, hand still around Yukine.
"Stop with that stupid nickname Yato"
"You don't want to be my wife?"
"That's not it Yato"
"Yukine, what will you feel if mom and dad divorce? Your mom doesn't love me anymore" Yato pouted.
"Well, maybe I'll feel sad"
"Hoho, that's my son. You hear that Honey? Our son doesn't want us to divorce"
"YATO!"
The bickering continue and the foods are left forgotten
