I haven't updated this fanfic in forever and I apologize. I got writer's block because I was waiting to find out what exactly was going to happen to Bishamon and Kazuma in the manga lol and now that that was answered, I don't even remember what in the world I even originally had planned for this but I figured regardless I need to update lol.
The Benefits of Dating a God
"This is… insane." Yukine commented breathlessly as he looked out over the booths of Kofuku and Daikoku's shop, drunken gods and shinki everywhere. "Even Kazuma-san…" He looked over to where Kazuma was now snoozing next to the table, though Bishamon was still going at it with Yato, Takemikazuchi, Kofuku and Tenjin.
Hiyori laughed nervously, "They've been through a lot this past year…"
Yukine scoffed, "So have I."
"But you're underage." She reminded him with a small laugh before reaching out to touch his shoulder, "But I'm grateful that I have someone else here with a clear head."
He flushed and raised his voice, "What I meant that there are other ways to deal with it other than getting drunk off of your ass."
"At least they don't do it that often." She shrugged, starting to stand up from the table, "One thing's for sure though… I'm not coming to the next one of these parties. I'll make sure I find some other plans."
"Whatever it is, please take me with you. Yato can get into his own competitions with Bishamon-sama and Takemikazuchi-sama without dragging me into it. Kazuma-san and Kiun-san don't really seem like they want to do it either, but they also never really refuse, so I end up getting dragged into it no matter what." He crossed his arms in annoyance, sighing.
Hiyori smiled and promised, "I'll try my best… I'm going to head home, I think. Just tell Yato that you're tired and going to bed. It is kind of getting late." She held up her phone to him, showing him the time.
Yukine hummed before he slid out from the table and plopped down to the ground as well, "Yeah, I guess I should do that."
"Yukineee, Hiyoriiii." Yato came crashing into both of them, dangling his arms over both of their shoulders and nearly knocking over them in the process, "Where are you going?"
"Going to sleep, it's late. Besides, you've been having fun for the past hour without us." Yukine pulled Yato's arm off of him and let it drop back to his side roughly.
Yato gave him a shocked and hurt look in response, "You guys left to take care o' Kazuma and never came back. That's why I came lookin' for you."
"There was just a little too much going on and we wanted to relax a little bit." Hiyori reached up to touch his shoulder, "But yeah, I think I'm about to head home for the night too."
"Reeeally?" He questioned with a pout and she nodded. He leaned in towards her ear and lowered his voice to what he thought was a whisper, "Can I come over?"
Yukine made a sharp noise of discomfort and whirled away, announcing loudly, "GOODNIGHT."
"TOMORROW." Hiyori answered equally as loudly, her face completely red, "I'll see you tomorrow, Yato. When you're sober."
She started to storm off, despite Yato clumsily reaching out to catch her arm momentarily before he slid pathetically to the ground, "Don't leaaaveeee!"
"Scaring off your hafuri and your human girlfriend all in one go. Impressive." Takemikazuchi smirked as he looked down at Yato, who merely let out another whine in response.
