I wrote this for a secret santa thing in 2017 and never posted it anywhere other than tumblr because I had a family emergency going on. I just read it again and I love it so I wanted to make sure it got the attention it deserves!

Hiyori and Yukine both let out a noise of surprise as they slid open the door to find Kofuku and Daikoku's yard had quickly turned into a winter wonderland, completely covered in snow. Curious, Yato moved behind them to peek outside as well.

Turning her head to glance at him, Hiyori looked back outside in aw, "This is so much more than what they were predicting on the news!"

Yato shrugged, seemingly unsurprised, "I could have told you that."

"What are you, the god of weather now?" Yukine gave him a tired look.

"No," He gave him a look of betrayal in return, "Gods just know these things—"

"Look at all of the snow!" Kofuku came barreling into the group, almost knocking Hiyori out into the elements before both Yato and Yukine grabbed both of their shoulders. Grasping on to the brunette in an excited hug, she announced, "We should have a snowball fight!"

Yato gave a hum of uncertainty, "With you?"

"Yato." Hiyori snapped at him and he waved his hands in a signal of defeat. Turning to the other god, she smiled brightly, "That sounds like a lot of fun, Kofuku-san."

"I knew you'd think so, Hiyorin." She giggled in delight before looking up at the others, "What about you, Yato-chan, Yukki?"

Yato considered it momentarily before rubbing his hands together, "Yeah, I guess I can join in."

"I don't know, Daikoku-san probably—" Yukine hesitated, angling himself back into the house.

"He's fine! He even said he'll have some tea waiting on us when we come back in." Kofuku waved off his doubts and reached over to nudge him forward.

He laughed nervously, "Okay, okay. But let me go get my jacket first."

"So are we just all against each other or are we gonna be on teams, or what?" Yato put his hands on his hips and looked between them curiously.

Kofuku clapped her hands together, "Ooh! We should be on a team together, Yato-chan~"

As Yukine returned into the room, his jacket halfway on as he shrugged his arm into the other sleeve, he commented, "I dunno, isn't it a bit unfair to have two gods against a shinki and a half phantom?"

"You're a hafuri, though." Yato immediately corrected.

"You know what I mean." He answered automatically, but gave a brief smile at the correction.

Kofuku tapped her lip in thought, "I guess you're right…" Making a sudden gasp, she latched onto Hiyori again, "Then I'll be with Hiyorin!"

"Sure." Hiyori nodded enthusiastically.

"You suuure you don't wanna be on my team, Hiyori?" Yato leaned in towards her face from her side giving his best imitation of puppy dog eyes.

As Hiyori parted her lips to answer, Yukine gave a loud huff, "We could just all be against you, you know."

He grimaced and took a step back, waving his hands, "Shit. Yukine, I didn't mean I didn't want you to be—"

"Just stop talking." The younger boy sighed, stepping out in the snow and immediately sinking to the point where it was almost up to his knees, "Whoa!"

Hiyori followed after him carefully, wobbling a bit as she stepped into the snow, "Wow, guess it's even deeper than it looks!"

Kofuku zoomed off, practically taking a flying leap off of the deck and running through the snow in a bout of laughter.

Yato took his time to follow them out farther into the yard, still wallowing from Yukine's snap at him. "So what sort of rules are we playing with?" He crossed his arms and looked off, leaving him wide open for the snowball that Kofuku hurled at him. Sputtering and clutching his chest, he looked back at the other god in disbelief.

"Don't hold back!" Kofuku grinned and winked, "That's the only rule."

"You're on." He swiftly scooped up the snow and positioned himself to throw the snowball.

Playfully, Hiyori lightly tossed one in Yukine's direction. Making a yelp as he barely dodged it, he immediately broke into a grin as he looked back at her, reaching down to join in as well.

It didn't take long for the four become covered in a light crust of white powder. Yato had even somehow find the time to build a small mound to crouch behind, slightly shielding him from the endless barrage of snowballs coming from Kofuku and occasionally Hiyori's direction. Blindly, he threw a snowball over the top, "You're ridiculous, you know that?"

However the snowball battle was quickly stopped at the sound of a high pitched squeal, a crunch of snow, and Yukine shouting, "Hiyori!"

"Hiyori?" Yato repeated in confusion, standing up straight to see her fallen over sideways in the snow, her face almost completely blanketed, "Hiyori!"

"Why would you do that to Hiyorin, Yato-chan?" Kofuku pouted as he quickly made his way over, pulling Hiyori up by her shoulders.

"That was meant for you." He glared back before kneeling down and brushing the snow off of Hiyori's still stunned face, "Are you okay?"

Kofuku huffed, mumbling, "That's not very nice, either."

"I, um." She blinked in confusion before locking eyes with him briefly, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you sure, Hiyori? You fell pretty hard." Yukine bent his knees and leaned over to take a closer look at her.

She nodded, adding a small laugh, "I'm okay, Yukine-kun, I promise."

"I'm sorry." Yato said earnestly, still lingering close to her and her eyes flickered back to him as he spoke.

Hiyori stared at him momentarily, her cheeks darkening as she turned away, "It was an accident, Yato. Don't worry about it."

"It's all because you're paired with Kofuku." She suddenly felt Yato's hand grasping her arm and pulling her upward, "I told you that you should be on my team!"

"Hiyorin's my partner!" Kofuku grabbed her other arm and tugged her in the other direction.

Yukine tried to yank Yato off of her arm, "What are you both, five!? Let go of her!"

"Yukine-kun, I—" Just as the younger boy finally managed to unlatch Yato from her, Kofuku lost her grasp and Hiyori went flying forward into the snow again.

Kofuku gasped loudly, "Oopsies…"

"Hiyori, I—I…" Yato reached out, unsure of what to do.

Sputtering as she rose out of the snow, she grumbled, "I think I should go home now."

"I'm sorry!" He squeaked pitifully and Kofuku echoed his sentiments with small pout.

Yukine let out a sigh, "I don't blame you."

As Hiyori turned around to leave, Yato turned back to Kofuku, "I still think this is your fault."

"You're the one who practically gave her a concussion with a snowball!" Kofuku fired back, her hands on her hips.

Yato opened his mouth in disbelief before he answered, "Because of your bad luck!"

"But it was your snowball! And you have enough of your own bad luck, Yato-chan."

"Only because I hang out with you all the time!"

"Fine, you don't have to stay in our attic."

"…Oh c'mon, you didn't have to go that low. I already get threatened enough by Daikoku."

Yukine quickly whirled around, "I am definitely not staying out in the cold to listen to you two bitching at each other."

"Hey! Defend your master's honor!" Yato called after him.

"Nope."
