A/N: So, I was trying so hard to come up with something... and i thought, "why not do something with Hiyori at school, and Yato bugging the heck out of her," so this is what i came up with. \(^.^)/ (It was super fun to write by the way. XP) Sorry, It's kinda long... but I hope you enjoy! Matane! ;)

Chapter 5

"PLEEAAASE?" begged Yato as he was poking Hiyori's sides with both of his hands. Hiyori tried to keep her composure, even though she was thoroughly annoyed by Yato's actions.

"PLEEEAAASE?" he started poking her faster, yet still gentle enough so it wouldn't hurt her. "Come on, please, Hiyori…" he positioned himself right in front of her face, and leaned closer with a pleading expression.

He carefully inhaled, and shouted "PLEAAAAAASE?" Hiyori started to cringe. She was clenching her pencil so hard in her hand, it could snap at any given moment.

He knew she was going to burst eventually, so the God kept harassing her. He repositioned himself right behind Hiyori, and started tapping the back of her head. "Please, come on….." He quickly transitioned to poking her rapidly. "I need you to do something for me... right now." he urged, still vigorously poking.

She breathed in sharply, and exhaled ever so slowly, trying as hard as she could not to explode. When suddenly, she didn't feel his jabbing, and didn't hear his nagging. "Did he finally give up?" she thought to herself. She carefully tilted her head towards the left to peek and see if he was still there, when she suddenly felt Yato by the other side of her cheek.

"...Hiyori?" he breathed softly into her ear. She completely froze, as if her whole body stopped functioning. The warmth of his breath tickled against the side of her face, clearing her head of all the irritation and impatience she had before. "Please…" he hummed appealingly.

Hiyori suddenly felt like her face was on fire, completely ablaze. Due to her overly flustered reaction from Yato's seduction, she was suspended from her movement once again.

"Miss Iki?" MISS IKI?" her teacher shouted.

Falling out of her trance, she jolted by the sound of a voice bellowing at her.

"YES!" she shouted back, jumping up from her desk. All the other students in the class started giggling and whispering. Hiyori noticed this, and her cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment.

"Are you okay, Miss Iki?" the teacher asked. "You look like you have a fever.." He started walking towards her to check her temperature.

"No, no.. I'm fine! Really, I am!" she insisted, not wanting to leave the classroom. That's exactly what Yato wanted to happen. He just stood back, smiling, happy that his scheme was working for the better.

Her teacher put the back of his hand on Hiyori's forehead, and immediately pulled back. "Oh, my, you're running a rather high fever…" he exclaimed. "You should really go to the nurse's office, Miss Iki…"

"But, I.."

"Go." he looked at her seriously now. "Go get a cool rag, a cup of water, and rest."

She sighed and started heading out of the classroom, with Yato prancing happily behind.

"I knew I'd get you outta there!" he said with a grin while they were walking down the hallway. "Why do you keep bugging me?" she inquired. "I don't even understand what you want me to do for you…"

"Tch," Yato swayed his head away from her childishly. "Isn't that obvious?" he asked, not even glancing over at her.

"No, not at all, actually." she answered, rolling her eyes, turning left into the nurse's office. Yato, still walking, realized she had left him, and quickly turned around, running in after her.

"You're telling me… that you don't know what I want you to do?" He interrogated, inching closer and closer to her face. She turned red again, and backed up right onto the bed in the room, falling on her bottom. Yato leaned down on his knees to reach her height and shuffled closer.

Hiyori froze right where she was once more, unable to move any limb of her body. Yato stared deeply into her sparkling eyes, as she stared into his.

Then, like the blink of an eye, Yato leaned a little ways more, and brushed his lips against hers. He got up right after, leaving Hiyori to try and comprehend what just happened.

He got her a small, paper cup from the cupboard and filled it with sink water for her to drink.

"There you go." he offered, with a sly smile.

"Th-Thanks.." she acknowledged, still feeling out of it. Yato observed her endearingly as she took a sip of her water, again and again. Her delicate fingers grasping both sides of the petite cup, as she hoisted it up, curved her soft lips, and tilted it back slightly to drink.

She noticed him fixing his eyes on her every move, and started getting restless. She started tapping the tips of her shoes on the ground to distract him, which worked, of course.

"So…" she said, finally breaking the silence. "What was it you wanted me to do for you?"

"O-oh… right!" Yato started faltering his words. "It.. it was… well…. The thing I wanted you to do for me…." Now he started avoiding eye contact.

"...Yes?" Hiyori raised her eyebrow at his stuttering. Of course, she found amusement in it, now that he was the one nervous. She started to take another sip from her cup.

"I wanted you to tell me…" he started blushing, then bravely looked at her face-to-face. "I wanted you to tell me you love me." he declared proudly. Hiyori nearly choked on her drink and started coughing. Yato sat still as she tried to swallow her mouthful of water.

"What?! Why?" she demanded back. "I mean… we're not even like… a couple.. Are we?" she peered at him.

Yato started squirming a bit, got off his knees and sat on the edge of the bed beside her. "I thought we were close enough…" he presumed.

"Y-you say it first…" she said, looking down into her near-empty cup. "Well… I would, but... I'll need five yen." he smirked.

"Huh?!" she questioned with surprise. "You heard me." he responded in a joking manner. "I told you once before, there's no such thing as a free wish." he grinned.

"All right, all right… I'll just say it then." the girl huffed. She closed her eyes for a brief moment, and when she opened them, she set her cup down, got up, and turned around to face him.

"I love you." she stated boldly.

Yato's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect for her to actually say it. Still, it made him feel happy to hear it.

"I love you too, Hiyori." he beamed, tugging slightly on her arms to pull her closer so he could kiss her once more.
