I moved through the photos of me and Yato. It had been almost a week since our "date". Which probably wasn't a date at all. I had just gotten the wrong idea. Yato hadn't contacted me all weekend, and it was already Thursday.
We were just friends though, so it wasn't weird. Nope. Not at all.
It was a rainy afternoon. I missed Yato and even Yukine. I wondered if they were worried about me forgetting them? I wonder how long it would take?
No. It wouldn't happen. I promised.
I decided to do some homework to get my mind off of this whole thing but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I grabbed my phone, and dialed.
"Yato God at Your Service!" He answered delightfully, and had clearly not looked at his Caller ID.
"Yato, it's Hiyori".
"Oh, Hiyori" His tone changed. Why. "What's up?"
"Erm, nothing. I just hadn't heard from you guys so…"
"Yeah sorry about that heh, had a lot of jobs! Actually I'm getting another call now. Have to take it, talk to you later!"
What. the. hell.
I was not even sad. I was furious. Angry beyond belief. Did he think he could tease me? Last week he acted so worried about me, and now he didn't even care? What had I done wrong? What could I have done wrong?
I called him again.
"Yato God! At…"
"LOOK AT YOUR GODDAMN CALLER ID, ITS ME"
"Oh, Hiyori what's…"
"I, uh, have a leaky faucet. Fix it for me for 5 yen? " Money always made Yato show up.
"Oh, er. I can't, I already planned on going to a job."
"It can be later," I insisted.
"Mm, no, Hiyori, sorry. I don't have time. Can't your dad call some pro to fix it?"
I could not believe he was refusing…
"Wait, so you don't want the money for the job?"
Yato stayed silent.
I broke.
"I guess you don't care about me forgetting you anymore, huh? Well fine then, I will!"
I hung up the phone, crying. Crying because I thought this anxiety was over. I thought me and Yato were okay. I thought, I thought.
I thought Yato could actually have feelings for me too. What an idiot.

Meanwhile where Yato is:
Yato stared at his phone, Yukine beside him.
"What are you going to do about Hiyori?" Yukine asked him.
Yato fidgeted.
"What am I supposed to do, Yukine? She's digging herself into a hole. WE'RE digging ourselves into a hole. I gotta distance myself, at least for a bit." Yato chugged a beer.
"Why did you go out on a date with her to begin with?" Yukine wondered.
Yato stared blankly at the sakura trees that surrounded them.
"I just thought that for a second, it could have worked. I forgot for a moment, that she was a fragile human life, and I'm just a God." Yato opened another beer
.
"Just a God," Yukine repeated, "That's sort of ironic."
Yato looked at his prized regalia.
"Yeah, but I guess I should talk to her. I just feel so human when I'm with her, so prone to mistakes…" Yato was blushing.
"I thought God's couldn't make mistakes?" Yukine poked at him. "If you don't fix this now, you may ruin our relationship with Hiyori forever...:"
Yato drank his second beer. "Yeah you're right. I'll go talk to her".
