Yato, with his jersey slung over his shoulder, wandered back into Kofuku's shrine. He turned to see Yukine, Kofuku and Daikoku eating breakfast by the kotatsu. He grinned widely, his cheeks pink with joy.

"Morning! Is there any left for me?" Yato asked eagerly.

"Oi!" Daikoku cried. "You said last night you'd be back!"

"I never said when." Yato winked, which only raised the Regalia's anger.

Daikoku crossed his arms, his cigarette jiggling in the corner of his mouth.

"Wait, but where did you go?" Yukine asked, confused.

"I was at Hiyori's," Yato grinned, sitting down and grabbing a large scoop of white rice.

"T-the whole night?!" All three of them said in unison.

Yato stopped filling his plate and looked at all of his friends, glancing back and forth between their shocked expressions. It was only then that Yato realized his mistake.

"Um…." he laughed nervously "well, n-no. I... fell asleep in the tree outside her window watching her."

He watched as all three of their faces ceased from shock, and in response, they all groaned and sighed.

"You almost had us," Daikoku commented.

"He's a friggin' perv either way," Yukine mumbled.

Kofuku started slurping a juice box and giggled to herself. "So, where is Hiyorin?"

Yato's face brightened. "She went to school. She'll be back to visit me soon."

"Uhhh…"

All eyes were on Yato once again.

"You... you mean 'to visit us?' Right?" Yukine clarified.

Yato raised an eyebrow in confusion, and then realization hit his face. "Oh! Right, right."

Each of them glanced at each other before looking at Yato skeptically as he ate his bowl of rice.

. . . .

"Kon'nichiwa!" The brunette greeted with a wide smile, carrying her school suitcase with her.

"Hai, Hiyorin!" Kofuku greeted, grasping her friend in a tight hug.

"Hiyori!" Yukine gasped, surprised to see her.

Hiyori chuckled, slightly pulling away from Kofuku, and continued to scan the room. "Uh, gomen'nasai, but where's Yato?"

"Hmm?" Yukine and Kofuku both looked at her curiously.

"Oh, he's upstairs. But if you're hungry, maybe we can-"

"Arigato!" Hiyori bowed and quickly ran upstairs to the attic room, leaving her two friends confused and surprised.

Just as Hiyori was passing him, Daikoku was entering the room.

"Oh, was that Hiyori-chan? Where's she off to?" He asked, blinking in surprise at how she didn't so much as glance at him.

Yukine ran his fingers through the back of his blonde hair. "She… went to go to see Yato."

"Okay. That's strange…" Daikoku muttered.

"I thought they were in a fight, but then Yatty left to see Hiyorin last night and didn't come back for a while…" Kofuku went quiet, trying to think.

"You think they made up?" Yukine asked.

Daikoku shrugged and cracked open a beer can.

"Ohh, I think they did a lot more than 'make up,'" Kofuku smirked, but the two others didn't seem to catch on.

. . . .

"I'm here!" Hiyori smiled, placing her bag down and facing Yato, who was grinning widely and holding something behind his back.

"I've got something for you!" Yato chuckled.

Hiyori giggled in response. "Really? What is it?"

"You hafta guess!" Yato teased, keeping his hands hidden.

Hiyori laughed, trying to peek behind his back. "No! Lemme see!"

"You're cheating!"

"C'mon! Show me!"

"Alright, alright! Close your eyes, Hiyori," Yato said.

Hiyori rolled her eyes and closed her eyes eagerly. "I hope you're not proposing," she teased.

Yato's response was something she didn't expect. "No. Not yet at least."

"Wha-?" Hiyori was so surprised by his words, that her eyes instinctively opened to see him, and then, she saw what he was holding.

Two tickets to Capypa Land.

Hiyori gasped. "These… these are for us...?"

Yato handed one of the tickets to her to see, a smile on his face. "Hai! You enjoyed it last time, right? Maybe this time, it can be just for the two of us. Y'know… as lovers."

Hiyori gasped. "So then… this is a date…?"

Yato chuckled a bit. "Um, yeah. Well, I've had these tickets for a while, and I couldn't figure out who I wanted to go with, n' I just thought-" he ruffled his dark hair, flustered "that this would be the perfect opportunity. So we can get to be with each other the whole day."

Hiyori's face tinted pink, and she stared at the item in her hands with awe. "You put so much thought into this. Arigato, Yato."

Yato smiled at Hiyori, and he pulled her into his arms. "Of course, my dear."

Hiyori automatically hugged him back, feeling his wonderful warmth. "I really do love you, Yato…"

Yato swallowed hard, his cheeks reddening. "I- it-... yeah, me too."

Hiyori looked up at him and laughed nervously. "We'll work on that."

"Y-yeah…" Yato smiled weakly. "Gomen."

Hiyori pulled away to look at the ticket again. "So, when is it?"

Yato glanced down at his ticket. "They expire in a few weeks, but they're doing the fireworks parade by the end of the month. So we need to go!"

Hiyori chuckled at his childish reaction. "Okay, okay. Our... first date, huh…?"

Hiyori thought about this in a strange way, but the more she thought of it, it would be even more special than her last two times. It was just her and Yato. Nothing would make her happier.
