010./ i notice you
It's the first warm day of spring, and she wears a dress. (She likes it, the way the skirt swishes around her calves as she walks the trek to Kofuku and Daikoku's shop—she's hoping someone else will like it, too.)
She walks around the rickety fence—she recalls, faintly, that Yato was supposed to fix that, per Daikoku's orders, some time ago—and, then, up the stone walkway.
"Hiyori!"
She looks up, and sees Yato, standing on the porch. "Hey, Yato," She hums, walking up the steps, before slipping off of her sandals and setting them down on the ground.
"Wha—What are you wearing?"
Hiyori looks at him. She raises an eyebrow. "A dress. It's really warm out, ne?"
"I—I—Well, yeah, but—" Yato's face looks uncomfortably red—the kind of red that you get when you have a rash—and he scratches absently at the back of his neck. "—I mean, I can see your arms."
"Yes… Most people have arms, you see."
"I know that," he snaps, "but—I—you—and I can see your legs."
"So?" She wonders. "You see my legs most of the time—why does it matter now?"
"'cause you're not wearing stockings." He says, like it's obvious.
Hiyori is about to reply—very smartly, too—'til she thinks about, and asks, blushing: "You notice?"
Yato blinks—and then swallows—and then blinks, again, before his face turns a shade of brick red. "I—well, uh—y'see—I mean, I—I—I mean, yeah, sometimes."
"Oh." She breathes.
"Yeah." He says, scratching the back of his neck.
"—Hiyori!" Yukine bursts out, and then, as soon as he sees her, he flushes. "What are you wearing?"
a/n: i think the alternate title to this should be 'yato and yukine acting like total dorks around hiyori'. also, because of the great response i got for that story, last chapter, i'm going to be posting it, (hopefully, by next weekend)! it's going to be called Where Spirits Tread, so, look forward to it, 'kay?
