Day 52 - Fever


My fever had significantly gone down with the help of my mom and Yukine. Yato, my protector, didn't show up anywhere near my room since that awkward talk yesterday. At least he wasn't making me feel...weird. Recently, anytime he was close to me, I would sweat and become jittery. I didn't like it and I had no idea what it could have been. Maybe it was because of the 'god of calamity' thing? Whatever it was, I would have to take it up with Hiyori later. A knock on the door woke me from my thoughts.

"Come in!" Yato peaked his head in with a playful smirk and cute wave. All of the sudden, upon seeing him, my face became hot.

"Princess!" Cue the water works. He jumped into the bed and tackled me before rubbing my cheeks together with his sweaty hands.

"I'm so sorry! Your god has neglected you! Forgive me for being so cruel?" Nodding dumbly, I allow him to hug me. He started rambling on how much he missed me, but I wasn't concentrating. My mind was much too focused on his scent. It was even better than Tenjin's. Like a mix of fresh water, wood and a tinge of metallic hints from his sweat. It was exactly how I expected him to smell, but better. My head started pounding again and black dots faded in my vision.

"Did you miss me? I miss- Hey! [Name]?" I completely blacked out.

"[Name]! [NAME]?!"
