Hero/Heroine
Boys Like Girls
[ StrawberryAngel96, thank you very much for your suggestions! I'm having a bit of trouble working on ideas for the "Out of My League" song but I do plan on using it because it was awesome! Taylor Swift on the other hand… I don't think I like that one too much (I'm so sorry!) I just don't see the characters of this show actually fitting that song =(. I do hope you all enjoy what I do have though! And remember, I don't own any of this; rights to all respective owners! ]
How long had it been since she had first met Yato? She sat silently staring out of her open bedroom window in thought as she watched the bustle of people down below. She had nearly forgotten about him twice already, but she didn't plan on risking that happening again so she'd made a wish to him the night before. Just thinking about it had her face flushing a bright red and her hands fluttered up to hold her cheeks as she groaned. "How did I say something like that so easily?!" She exclaimed before she folded her arms on the windowsill and rested her head atop of them. Memories flooded back from last night behind her closed eyes. "I don't know if I'm willing to lose you again, mister!" She stated, pointing a finger at him with a very serious expression which caused the God to blink in confusion. "You and Yukine have worked through all of this, but what about me?! I believe I will make another wish." She said, pulling a five yen coin out of her skirt pocket and holding it up in front of her. Yato's confusion only grew as he listened and watched her but he nodded. "Go ahead." She smiled brightly, causing Yato's eyes to go wide and his cheeks to flush a light pink. "I wish that Yato will always remember me, no matter what happens. And that he'll remain by my side as long as possible!" She said in a determined tone before flicking the coin at him. He caught it with ease, but he was so surprise by her words that his whole face was now beet red. "I… uh, well. You have made a wish…" He managed to squeeze out between tight breaths, as the tightness in his chest threatened to suffocate him. "And it's been heard, loud and clear." He flicked the coin up before catching it with a bright smile on his face.
The memory trailed off with his smiling face and she felt the heat rise all through her body. "What the hell!" That smile of his was burned into her retina's, she sworn on it, because every time her eyes closed she saw it causing her heart to skip so many beats she might believe she were dead. She sighed into her arms before taking in a deep breath, a familiar scent coming in with strength as she did and her heart stopped. He's really close! She shot up quickly, only to be face to face with her God whose blue eyes were sparkling in the early noon light. "Hiyoriiiii!" He said cheerfully, wrapping his arms around her neck tightly and rubbing his face roughly against her own, causing the heat in her body to rise into her face with embarrassment before she growled and grabbed under his elbows, slinging him off of her and onto her bed. "What the hell, Yato!" She exclaimed, happy at this moment that she was home alone. He slowly moved to sit right and shake off the pain before he whined. "Hiyoriiiii, why are you so mean! I was just happy to seeeeee you!" At his own words his face burned red and he looked away from her and her angry, embarrassed red face. She thought on his words for a moment before she sighed. "I'm sorry. It just surprised me is all." She moved across the room to take a seat on the bed across from where he was leaning against the wall. "Did you need me for something?" She asked quietly, trying to be nicer. His eyes widened a bit and he looked at her, their eyes locking and causing both of them to blush but he held strong. Clearing his throat, he nodded before he spoke. "Let's go out, Hiyori. Just you and me."
It was like a whirlwind of happenings once she agreed. He hoisted her into his arms and opened his phone before they vanished in a flash of light, leaving her body behind on her bed to rest. "Hey, wa…wait! Where are we going?!" She asked frantically as she clung to him but all he offered was his goofy grin. When his feet finally landed firmly on the ground he held on hand over her eyes quickly and place her feet on the ground. "Are you ready?!" He asked like an excited child before he revealed his secret. "Disney Land! I figured, Capypa Land was great, but it made you uncomfortable for some reason…" He trailed off and eyed her suspiciously before he went on. "So why do we try and have some fun here?" He looked so cheerful and it was magnified by the fact that it was just the two of them. His glee was contagious and Hiyori smiled widely back at him with a big nod. "Yeah, let's do this!" She said before he grabbed hold of her hand and ran forward through the gates. After paying for the tickets and grabbing tour guides, they both discussed things they wanted to do, and he was dead certain he'd get his sign right this time!
As they sat discussing the day's activities, a band was setting up not too far from them; getting ready to play a they finally managed to agree on what to do, they rose from the bench and headed for the first ride. "So, so Hiyori! Are you happy? Excited?" His eyes were sparkling, you could practically see the childish stars in them and Hiyori laughed. "You bet! I can't wait to spend the whole day with…" She trailed off as her face lit up red and she cleared her throat. "All of this fun stuff to do!" Did that make sense? I sure hope that made sense! Crap… She thought nervously, but apparently Yato hadn't caught on to her moment of embarrassment because he was nodding his head like a bobble doll. "Yes, yes, I completely agree!" Grabbing her hand again, they ran past the stage set-up and straight to the first line they had to wait in. Checking to make sure he had his sign in his seemingly infinite pocket inside his sweatsuit, he silently celebrated the fact that he did in fact remember it while Hiyori watched the band make their way on stage. "Actually Yato, I think I'd like to watch them preform… if that's alright?" It was one of those American Bands that she was actually a fan of, now that she got a good look at all the banners and now she was even more excited that they had come! Yato blinked a few times before he sighed and nodded. "Sure, let's go see them, and then we'll get back in line!" He exclaimed that last bit before he felt Hiyori take his hand this time and pull him along. This caused the God to blush; luckily she wasn't looking at him.
When they arrived at the stage they were nearly at the front of the gathering people and the band made their introduction before they slipped into their first song.
"It's too late baby there's no turnin' around!
I got my hands in my pockets and my head in the clouds.
This is how I do, when I think about you.
I never thought that you could break me apart,
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart.
You wanna get inside, well you can get in line, but not this time!
Cause you caught me off guard… and now I'm runnin' and screamin'
I feel like a hero, and you're my heroine!
Hiyori was singing along with the song, causing Yato to listen more closely to the lyrics. As he did his eyes widened and his hand reach for his pant pocket. This song… this is… maybe now? He thought to himself as he listened on, taking in the lyrics to what he now dubbed their song.
I won't try to philosophize, I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes,
This is how I feel and it's so, so real.
I've got a closet filled up to the brim,
with the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why, you'd even try but I won't lie…
That you caught me off guard… and now I'm runnin' and screamin'
I feel like a hero, and you're my heroine!
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
This was it! Yato pulled the small secret item out of his pocket before he flipped it in the air like a five yen coin and grinned as he tried to steady his breathing. Hiyori watched him out of the corner of her eyes and got curious. "Why are you playing with money, Yato? Did someone make a wish at some point that I don't know about?" She looked around the crowd at everyone getting into the music and her face scrunched in confusion before he spoke. "It's not a five yen piece, Hiyori…" His voice was low, just barely audible over the music before he stooped down onto one knee, now facing her as he took her hand into his own. "No, it's not money. It's something much more precious. Hiyori…" He cleared his throat as he took in deep breaths. "You've been around for me for whatever reason there may be but, I want to be more…" Okay, that didn't come out right and as he fumbled through his brain in embarrassment at his screw up; Hiyori was putting two and two together and her eyes grew wide. "Um… Yato…" His head snapped up to meet her gaze and his red face and near tears confirmed her suspicion as he suddenly just came out with it. "I wanna be with you forever, however the hell long that is. Marry me?" He slid the small, white gold band lined with diamonds with one sapphire in the heart of it onto her finger and felt as his heart beat sky rocketed and just stopped. He wanted to cry, the tightness in his chest was too much; the worry in his mind overwhelming, but he waited on baited breath for her reply.
Hiyori on the other hand was not holding a damn thing back as tears streamed down her face and she tried to breathe through elated sobs. "Ya…to… This is our first date, dammit!" She stated factually but in a rush and looked as if she were going to say more. "But… I always want you by my side too. So, fine, yes. My answer is yes!" She cried out over the music and fell to her knees before wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. The stunned God took a mere second to process everything before he grabbed tightly onto her and allowed his tears to happily flow into the crease between her neck and shoulder.
"And I feel a weakness comin' on
Never felt so good to be so wrong.
Had my heart on lockdown, and then you turned me around!"
And I feel just like a newborn child, every time I get a chance to see you smile
it's not complicated! I was so jaded!
And you caught me off guard… now I'm runnin' and screamin'…"
[ Okay guys! Tell me what ya think. I absolutely think this is the utmost perfect song for these two and if any of you have any AMV making experience. Please get on making this a Yatori AMV, please?! Also, leave me reviews? LOVE, MUAH! ]
