Yato reclined contentedly, eyes closed against the comforting ambiance of Hiyori helping Yukine with his homework, oblivious to the troubled looks the other occupants of the room were occasionally casting in his direction.
Yato sat beside a plate of packing peanuts and a glass of milk, happy that today's client had let him take them home. He had seemed confused, even, when Yato had been so excited to take them off his hands. Without opening his eyes he picked up a single peanut and dipped it in his milk.
He'd worked hard today, he deserved a treat, he thought.
"Is there anything better than packing peanuts and milk?" He sighed happily as he munched another peanut. Hiyori and Yukine spared him a look before turning back to each other.
"At least he isn't dipping them in vinegar," Yukine mumbled. Hiyori nodded solemnly.
