#sick yukine

[totallyexhausted]

Because I spent four hours in Barnes and Noble today reading Noragami…

“Hey, Yukine, you’re okay buddy… just get it up,” Yato said softly, rubbing his hand across the boy’s back as he pitched forward again, retching loudly. The kid hadn’t felt well the whole day, something he refused to admit to Yato… but as the day progressed, it became more and more obvious. The pink sweaty hue across his pale face, shivering through his jacket despite the sweat forming at his hair line, unsteady on his feet and picking through his lunch, barely eating a few bites despite Hiyori’s worried glances. Personally, it’d pissed the God off.

He’d thought they were through this. That the boy had learned he could tell Yato anything, that he could lean on him… but he refused to admit he felt unwell, going along with whatever job Yato had picked out for them that day. If the kid wasn’t going to admit and act like he was fine, then there wasn’t much the God could do… and he’d let the boy believe whatever he wanted. He’d either give up and let Yato help or recover on his own.

This was, according to Hiyori when Yukine slipped to the bathroom after lunch, an arrogant and dumb way of thinking. Yukine was still a child, small and underweight for 14, and given what she knew of his past, had probably never really been able to lean on anyone when ill. He was probably scared, think the God could care less about something so small… and despite bickering with him, kicking him several times and calling him a selfish master, Yato refused to dump Yukine off on her or leave him in her care.

He wasn’t stupid. He knew the boy hadn’t felt well since this morning and the fact that he’d managed to drag himself all over the city, fighting off several phantoms including the gruelling two hours spent scrubbing some old man’s shower, was downright impressive. And in a way, made Yato feel slightly proud. The fact that the kid could endure so much when he didn’t have to. Yato wasn’t cruel. He’d never force the boy to do something he didn’t want to, and he’d never demand the kid power through when he felt under the weather… but perhaps Hiyori had been right when she suggested Yato ignoring the situation was both stupid and irresponsible.

It had been until they began walking home, the sky darkening as passer-bys hustled under the street lamps that Yato felt a pang in his chest. Yukine had fallen behind several feet, trudging slowly along the sidewalk, letting people shove past him. He’d grown quieter after Hiyori left for the evening to study for her exams; shoving his coat closer and coughing softly into his sleeve as he mumbled his goodbyes. Yato hadn’t noticed the boy had fallen so far behind, more concerned with the quick beating of his heart, mirroring Yukine’s own.

The God paused, the pang in his chest catching his breathe again, and he turned to see the boy standing under one of the lamps, his hands in his coat pockets, staring down at the pavement.

“Yukine?”

Yato backtracked, making his way towards the boy, ignoring the weird glances cast his way from several people shoving past them. He reached out, putting his hand in the boy’s hair gently, “Yukine? Hey…”

The boy shook his head before raising it slightly, and Yato swallowed as tears glistened against the light from overhead. The same pang from before ripped through his chest, and the God winced as Yukine let out a small whimper. He raised his sleeve to his eyes, scrubbing across his face roughly, trying to stop the tears rolling down his face as Yato brought his hand down, touching his fingers to the kid’s forehead. He was burning up.

“Y-Yato, I-“

Yukine lurched forward before he could finish his sentence, vomit spewing past his lips, painting the God’s tracksuit before doubling over and retching again. Several people stopped, throwing concerned glances their way as Yato placed a hand against the boy’s shoulder, steadying him as the younger threw up again.

After several agonising minutes, Yukine glanced up, wiping his mouth and chin across his jacket sleeve slowly before sputtering, tears streaming down his face and a loud wail leaving his mouth as he met Yato’s face. The God panicked, cupping the boy’s cheek, shushing him gently as the ladder continued to cry loudly; people topping further, glaring towards Yato as if he’d caused this.

“I-I’m sorry, Yato…” Yukine choked, reaching towards Yato’s tracksuit, “I don’t feel-feel good! I’m sorry!”

“Shh, Buddy, it’s okay. Yukine, it’s okay.” Yato said softly, pulling the younger against him, leading him away from the scene slowly, ignoring the pain in his chest as Yukine clung to him. The kid was scared. Trembling and unsteady on his feet, panic eating away at his thoughts, racing from Yukine’s mind to Yato’s…

…

Once Yato had managed to get them home, Yukine passed out against him, he led the younger to the bathroom, cleaning him up quickly before helping upstairs. The second the boy’s head hit his pillow, he was out again, leaving the God to clean himself up and deal with Kofuku and Daikoku’s questions…

…

Yato had thought of hoped Yukine would be able to get some peaceful sleep… but he’d been wrong. Several hours after the God had laid his futon next to the boy’s, Yukine had jerked awake, calling out Yato’s name through the soft glow of the lamp as he breathed through the remnants of a nightmare. Shortly after that, he’d started throwing up… which led to their current situation.

Yukine was propped against Yato’s chest, his head hanging weakly over the bin the God had stolen from downstairs, gagging loudly as his body tried to bring up whatever remains of an empty stomach. The kid was clinging to him, his fever high and steady despite the meds Yato had forced down the boy’s throat. He’d been doing his best to keep Yukine cool, wiping him down and replacing the rag against his forehead, but the nausea had reared its ugly head, making it impossible for the kid to get comfortable. He’d thrown up everything Yato had tried to give him, bringing up water a few minutes after it was down, and refused to take more after a third time. But even after emptying anything that could still possibly be in his stomach, Yukine was still nauseous, gagging harshly and barely bringing up anything other than saliva.

“You’re okay, Buddy. It’s alright. Just relax, Yukine.”

Yato put the van down gently, pulling Yukine further against him as the boy whimpered, gripping the God’s shirt weakly between his fingers. His fever hasn’t budged in the past few hours, and every time Yato had gotten the kid to sleep, he’d woken up shortly after, panicked and calling out for Yato. It was a rough situation and one that broke the God’s heart.

Yato pressed the bottle of water he’d been trying to get the younger to drink for the past few hours to the boy’s mouth. Yukine whined, turning his head towards Yato’s chest. The God tried again, “Please, Yukine, just a few small sips.”

After a few minutes, Yukine complied, taking two small sips before turning back towards Yato’s chest, gripping again at his shirt. He squeezed his eyes shut, swallowing compulsively as the bottle was set down. Yato sighed, running his hand through the boy’s sweaty hair, pulling him up against him as he leaned against the wall behind them.

“Good boy, Yukine. We’ll try again in a little bit, okay. But you did a good job, Buddy.”

Yukine coughed softly, shoving his forehead against Yato’s neck as he called his name.

“It’s okay, Yukine. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be right here when you wake up.”

…

Idk I kind of just trailed off through it cause yeah. Still want to write an actual fix with Yukine- him drawing a borderline because his fever was high and he got scared, Yato holding him like a child, the kid sleeping against him as Yato walks around the house, K+D fawning over how young Yukine looks… stuffs.

[nataliarw2004]

I don’t know what’s happening in the manga but I gotta read!

my dear my baby yukine, i can't stop getting sad every time i remember you. i feel like things are just too heavy and fucked up for a young boy like him.

he got a terrible life and death, bad luck seems like unable to stop coming to him. once he became a shinki, (un)fortunately, it's a poor god who bestowed him a name. he got a rough life debuting as shinki. but then he realized he did wrong, apologized to yato and hiyori, and promised to be a better shinki for yato. he didn't stop that way. he really does what he promises, he works hard, assists kofuku and daikoku, studies with hiyori, buys his own clothes, practices spells and incantations with kazuma, treats yato better, comes every time he calls him, yet shit keeps happening to him. yato is a pain in the ass. yukine just wants to know!!! please just TALK to him. but the world keeps leaving him out, yato never really communicates clearly with him, he is always left hanging, wandering and wondering alone. i can't really blame him, i can understand how he feels abandoned, betrayed, discriminated, and confused. he promised yato to always guide him, to always prevent him to kill humans, to always remind him his goal as a god of happiness. he was told that father is yato's lifeline, but the other day he found out that yato wants to kill father. what should he do???? aaaaaaa poor yukine. he always takes the pain, the realization, the redemption, the recovery, and the regret all by himself :((

and the latest chapter (104.2) he finally acknowledges that he is angry at his father, yato, and himself, that he wants to break free from those hatred and fix things up, but nobody understands him (and imagine you being yukine and finding out that all this time yato is leaving with kazuma as his shinki).

he wants to live, to love, to be loved. he realizes he did wrong. he apologizes. now he sees the world is once again crumbling in front of his eyes. he turned himself into a wolf ayakashi. he bears those all by himself....... how is the world so cruel? :((

i know people need time and their own to understand and reconcile with their own selves, their past, their problems, like, whatever people do to you or help you do something, you can never fix things if you don't feel and do it yourself, but yukine....... darling you deserve better!!! i'm begging, please adachitoka, make a beautiful ending with my baby yukine (and of course with yatori too), i would never forgive you if you do them otherwise.

[alterfall]

If any of you are interested in making another long behind the scenes yap for one of these characters, might I suggest Eridan? I just really like his design

yo

this was the original sketch i had done while we were doing beta troll concept art. his design changed a bit between then and now.

mostly i simplified his stupidly shape glasses to only feature one color instead of two, and decided not to give him bi-color eye shadow. it was just too much going on.

i don't remember the exact design philosophy i had going into Eridan... for most of the beta trolls, i started with the horns, trying to match them with their signs. Gemrius is the Hope+Derse gold sign that he ended up with, so i gave him those weird dual curved horns to match it. (funnily enough, Gemrius looks almost exactly like Pipia, the Derse+Light fuchsia sign. i wonder what horns for that sign would look like?) oh yeah, he also shares his sign with Cirava Hermod. there was bound to be some overlap with a few of those hiveswap trolls. Tyzias and Remele come to mind.

speaking of, i also remember looking at a lot of the hiveswap friendsim trolls while doing the trolls. the wiki has a page for each blood caste and they all have a list of members, so it worked well for getting a good look at the shared traits within each caste. Eridan proved difficult because almost all the golds we know of have those neon color-no pupil eyes. The only exceptions being Zebede and a background troll from the train.

from that i guessed that most golds have that neon eye gene, but not all of them. i'm not sure if it directly correlates to a gold having psionics... but i did take that into account when i gave Eridan the eyes he has.

Eridan doesn't have psionics, but believes that one day he'll unlock them. i gave him these weird neon-with-pupil eyes to visually nod at that. maybe his strange eyes *are* because his powers are latent? or maybe it means nothing and he just has weird freak eyes. either way, he's not shooting lasers out of his eyes anytime soon.

i don't remember what possessed me to give him his silly outfit, just that we didn't want the trolls in the upper end of the lower castes (so Eridan, Feferi, Karkat, and Vriska) to look *too* fancy or colorful. this is 100% the nicest thing he owns. mostly i think i just wanted him to look like he's trying to make you think he's cooler than he actually is.

i also can't talk about eridan without mentioning his god awful terrible to look at quirk.

CA: {a wizard's job is to vex c#ummps quickly inn fog;}

look at it. look at this beast on my floor.

this one was a group effort between us and the discord chat during a stream there. it's his original ww vv but flipped upside-down to be mm nn, H's become # because his sign looks like a #, and he always replaces full-stops with ; because he's never done talking. the reason it's always in {} because someone said, and i quote, "eridan looks like a curly bracket." i think they must've meant his horns???????? the reason he has so much going on is because canon Sollux has so much going on with his quirk.

one final design note to give about Eridan is actually about his gun. i called it the B.B. Gun Mk.II, but it's actually just a gun from the anime Symphogear (i couldn't find an image of her *actually using it* from the show, but i was able to find pictures of her goodsmile figure where she has them so just trust me on this).

funny enough, this was before i had watched the show, roxy just slid this sick 3d model someone made of it to me as reference and i went "oh boy! anime gun for the anime guy!" i guess he must have alchemized a pistol with some merch of Troll Chris Yukine from Troll Symphogear? i like to think that's a show Eridan and Feferi would both like.

welp, that's all from me on Eridan. i hope this was actually interesting and not just mindnumbing rambling. ^^;

Noragami Chapter 109 Thoughts and Reaction

First off a massive thank you to @fast-moon for years of dedicated service to the fandom and answering our questions. You have been the pillar of the community from the moment you picked up the series.

Now onto my (second) read reaction and thoughts

Seeing Yuka and she's aged more and she's looking at the sakura tree thinking of her brother just like Yato told Yukine she would I'm so sad Adachitoka you make me so sad

WHO LEFT THE FLOWERS could it have been Yato? Could it have been Yuka unwittingly placing them to remember her brother not knowing it's actually Haruki's grave? I'm so sad

Oh when it said another new year and we're at the hospital I'm so sad and then it turns out it's been many years!!!!!

The Capyper and star sticker as an earring? Remnants of attachment to Yato? Earring like Kazuma? Thank you Doctor Iki? Killing myself

Oh I really expected her diary to show up and then it does but Nora has it I'm so sad

The fact Hiyori's whole memory of that year is fuzzy so she doesn't remember Capyperland, and probably her grandma's death and the hospital arc and so many other bits

CPR SO INTENSE IT CRACKED HER RIBS

Oh she's touching her lips as she wonders who saved her I'm so fucking miserable Adachitoka you make me so sad are you happy

Jumpscared by hot Fujisaki I forgive you <3

Fujisaki gained control of his body and immediately fixed those bangs hejdjj

Remnants of Father's yearning to see Kaya again sorry babe she wasn't your girl maybe you'll find one that looks like her

Coo phone attack jdjdjnd that was so funny I can't believe he actually came back I was reaching with that prediction

My god I know it's not Father and he's cute now but I still hurled when he asked her out

Rip Masaomi's hairline, they say unproblematic men age better, so what crimes did you commit

Also rip Mr Iki you've aged so much it's probably the stress, but he's still got his medical license!!!!!!

Also I've been told it's been 8/9 years since that day with her being an intern now, it makes you wonder if Masaomi started a family

I MISS SOMEONE BUT WHO?

I actually couldn't believe how many of the bingo card predictions were coming true when I got to the sakura party jsjdnjf we truly manifested this ending

Little Ebisu growing up you will live forever you <3

Takemika and Kiun showing up like two dads with their children and pet bird jdjbdjfk

Takemika reassuring Shinatsuhiko that no one's laughing about their reincarnation vs Takemika bullying Ebisu in Heaven about killing him I hate growth I hate it (affectionate)

Followed by Takemika owning the fact that he himself has reincarnated when it was kept secret for so long I'm so sad

Oh Adachitoka you're so sick faking us out with a toast to Yato like he's dead followed by Bishamon once again beating the shit out of Yato at a sakura party

It's so funny Yato wouldn't release Kazuma but tbf it's handy if he ever needs to use him again

I wonder if Kazuma is treated differently now that he's a stray, or if he could suppress the name physically (it would only show if he got called like Nora did)

This Houki shinki that's a pegleg gun???? Rendered us bamboozled double checking Bishamon didn't lose a leg

Yato please find Yukine some clothes that fit????? Or maybe they're loose so they don't tear when he transforms and they can go back for them idk I don't like this look

Yato disappearing into the ground and becoming known as Teke-Teke he is the living meme hejdjb

I'm so sad Yukine has nightmares and turns into ayakashi form every night and Yato's wearing a Capyper jumper and he's hugging him

I did wonder if Hiyori's diary was on the shelf with the shrine, which begs the question when did Yato go to retrieve the shrine???? I'm so sad he would've seen that she fixed it and maybe it's a but scuffed from where it was dropped but it's his

Yato following Hiyori to keep her safe and he didn't want to cut ties I'm so sad the cord problem was enough to divorce her from the far shore without severing them altogether

I JUST WANT TO WATCH OVER HER AS SHE GROWS I'm so fucking miserable

Nora comforted by the fact Hiyori believes she had a name when she was in the womb? Devastated how did we never think of that

Interesting that the Yuuki name remains even after the word was destroyed, but it means that Yukine can't sting Yato so silver linings

Yato still doing his regular job of slaying and answering small prayers

Cherry blossoms being like snow I'm so fucking emo

THE NIGHT HAS A SCENT

YATO'S SHADOW IN THE TREE

MY. MOUTH. REMEMBERS!!!!!!

Oh I'm so fucking miserable I'm so fucking sad I hate this manga she remembered him all on her own after all this time and she's a doctor and everyone's safe I'm so depressed we're gunna celebrate April 2nd we need to work out what year it will be when she remembers

The final art????? Of all of them happy???? Hiyori is a doctor???????? Nora is with them??? Smiling??????? I'm ending it

It's been such a ride for these last 9 years since I picked up the anime and then demolished the manga right in time for season two. I've made friends and I've enjoyed building this blog into something that people used for their Noragami content. In the words of the rats this truly was my noragami

[annegroves]

Question to the masses. Should i read the Noragami manga.

I really want to read the yukine backstory and there are some other scenes ive seen that i really want to see happen. But also season 2 was so incredibly good and im kind of sick of yukine yato drama (of which i hear there is more) as well as hearing the ending is ... Controversial. I kind of dont want it to taint my viewing of the anime because that can happen sometimes with me. What do the people think

[nightwalker6200]

Noragami Headcannon

Yato is a young single dad to a 7/8-year-old Yukine, who takes any random job he can get - sometimes he brings his kid with him to his jobs because what else is he supposed to do when his sister or whomever can't watch Yuki. He lives in an apartment with his sister or childhood friend (assuming you wrote Nora as his sister), Kofuku, and her boyfriend, Daikoku.

Hiyori is a med-student who lives below them. She's run into Yato several times and feels bad that Yukine has to "put up" with such a chaotic menace for a father. Yato shows up at her door one evening, frazzled and asking, despite Yukine's protest behind him, if Hiyori could do him a huge favor and watch the kid for a few hours while he took care of a job... Despite his closed-off attitude, Yukine is actually quite sweet and kind, and he likes learning new things.

Or Hiyori has been trying to get some sleep for the past few hours, but her upstairs neighbor's kid won't stop crying - something that seems extremely out of the ordinary for the young boy. After a while, she gets fed up and marches upstairs, banging on the door because she has several medical practice exams tomorrow. Yato answers the door, frazzled and tired, Yukine either clinging to him, or clutching his pant leg, still crying and flushed... basically, Yato is at his wits-end trying to get his kid to calm down and relax, but the kid is overly exhausted and sick, having worked himself up. Kofuku and her boyfriend are either out of town, or there, Daikoku standing in the kitchen doorframe, his arms crossed, yelling at Yato to let him take the kid so the slacker could get some sleep - Hiyori basically taking charge of the situation because no one seemed to know what they were doing and the fact the Yato doesn't have any children's meds lying around seems extremely irresponsible for a single father...

[fictionkinfessions]

[toomuchsky]

been catching up on the noragami manga (bc i am SOMEHOW STILL SICK AND FERAL) and i’m obsessed w the angst it’s literally so good but also i’m not prepared for yukine’s backstory like at all. yato’s was bad enough.

[h0estar]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....

Hi! Yes absolutely! I am so sorry it took so long. I haven't opened Tumblr in forever. I'm not sure if I can list down 2 characters from the same media platform once but just in case I'm not, I'll just list down one. This is based on the order I remember them by since I have really shit memory and there might've been a few fave characters I missed 🥲

I'll list down what comes to mind first haha

1. Yukine (Noragami)

-I love him SO MUCH. The first time I watched Noragami back in 2016, I knew I would love this boy with all my heart. Something about troubled and misunderstood anime kids with fucked up backstories just make me want to take care of them man. He's my adopted baby period. His character development is also very beautiful.

He's a very complex character. Idk why people shit on him for acting like a child when he is quite literally a child 😭 let him be a kid man, let him be immature, I was also immature at 14 and I'm happy for him bc he's got someone understanding by his side at all times.

I wish the ending would do justice to his character fr.

2. Kagura (Gintama)

She's funny asf. Also, strong asf. I love good female rep in anime and Kagura takes the cake for me. She has no filter, she's really cool, really funny, and just a fun and enjoyable character overall. (You should watch Gintama btw, it's my favorite anime).

3. Usopp (One Piece)

People shit on him a lot and I'm sick of it. I love him because he is SO REAL. He represents ordinary human beings in the One Piece world and I admire his bravery so much. His goal isn't even something grand, he just wants to be the bravest man who crossed the sea and I love that for him. He's a coward fr but seeing him break out of his shell and take courage to face his fears make me so emotional and proud. He inspires me to face my fears too :')

4. Izaya (Durarara!!)

He was lowkey the reason why I majored in Psychology. I love this cunning man. Watching everything go into flames bc of the shit he pulls excites me so much. I love watching him work. Totally not bc of his VA.

5. Newt (The Maze Runner Series)

Okay, this person was also real as shit. The way he's depicted in the books? Perfection. He's just so kind and caring and gentle to the gladers and to people they met during the scorch trials and ugh he deserved sm better :(

the way i have a whole 'nother blog dedicated to the maze runner series and it's always just abt him 💀 i was obsessed w him man. something abt broken/complex characters who are just so kind and tragic always have my heart.

6. Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs)

After I read stormbringer, I was never the same again. He is actually super sweet and super down to earth. I love him so much because he is so genuine with his intentions? Also, the shit has been through man... Yet, he still chose to live and fight. I admire that so much from him.

he is also a very complex and tragic character. i love him sm bc of that... i'm sensing a pattern here.

7. Armin (Attack on Titan)

His smartass made me fall in love with him. My boy just wanted to see the sea man. I admire his bravery so much and he gets shit ton of hate too for not kissing Eren's ass but I love him so much for standing his ground and having faith in his best friend. He was lowkey psycho too tbh. Smart men>>

8. Yuuta (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Okay, something about timid guys who are lowkey psychotic always get me going. He's a cool character and he's sexy. Period.

9. Killua (Hunter x Hunter)

ALSO MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! He deserves the world 😭 He went through so much at 12 bro and I just want to take care of him so much bc he deserves to be a kid!!!!! Big brother Killua also has my heart. He's so sweet and caring and kind and genuine and UGH I LOVE HIM.

the way he just wanted a friend 😭 i'd gladly be his friend man if i were in the hxh universe. he's too sweet 😔 and he deserves sm better!!!

10. Jo March (Little Women)

I SEE MYSELF IN HER SO MUCH. The way she just wanted everything to stay the same even when change was inevitable and the people in her life ended up growing up. I love how as I watched her grow up, the traits that she had as a kid were still there yet she was slowly opening to change. I just relate to her so much and we are so alike in so many ways.

---

That's it, I think! Those were the only characters I could think of. I am so sorry if I didn't word it correctly. I suck at writing and english isn't my first language but I hope you got a gist of why I love the characters 😭 Most of the times I don't really have a deep reason for liking a certain character, they just appeal to me and I get that gut feeling that oh I think I will obsess over this little shit for the rest of my life and it's usually always correct lmao. This was fun! Thank you!

[totallyexhausted]

Tiny Noragami headcannon a because I woke up and chose violence.

Yukine getting really ill after he ignored a minor injury. He’d gotten it by doing something bad (or at least in his mind) and was too afraid to tell Yato in case he stung him.

Yukine hiding the fact that he felt horrible because his master was a busy man or dealing with everything with his father. Yukine ends up getting sick all over himself and the table, after arguing he was fine.

Yukine, having dealt with any illness on his own from his past, ends up camping out in the bathroom- too sick and feverish to move until Yato finds him.

Yato holding a feverish Yukine under the shower, trying to get the kid to relax and his fever to go down.

Yukine getting scared when one of the clients or clients kids gets rough with him- he flashes back to his dad. Either the yelling scared him or he got locked in a closet.

Yukine getting sick and passing out after reverting back. He’d tried really hard to keep his form. He wakes up to Yato carrying him back home.

Yukine having a migraine from hell and getting frustrated over some stupid problems on his homework. Yato being annoying and won’t leave him alone. After the kid the wrong answer for a fifth time (over some problem even those younger than him could figure out), he breaks down because his head hurts so much and he feels sick and he’s frustrated because Hiyori showed him how to do this problem twice.

Yukine being clingy after a nightmare or being distant and quiet after he gets scared.

Yukine getting sick while spending the night with Yato at a shrine.

Yukine getting sick while Daikoku and Kofuku throw a party downstairs. All he wants is peace and quiet but it’s hard to sleep when your master and several others are singing drunkenly downstairs.

Yukine getting sick during one of Yato’s disappearing acts. Kofuku and Daikoku try their best while they try tracking down the lazy God. Daikoku is gunna strangle him when he sees him for leaving his kid like this.

Yukine drawing a borderline between him and Kofuku or Daikoku or Yato one night when he wakes up from a nightmare sick. It takes a while for Yato to talk him out from behind the border in order to get the kid to calm down.

[thedeliverygod]

Repostober: Day 29

Hiyori has a wish and puts her 5 yen on Yato's shrine, but she doesn't know quite how to say it out loud when he asks about it.

Cutting Ties

She understood why Yato’s talent for cutting ties was necessary. She had seen the healing it had brought to the people that he had used it on. And yet every time he had to use it, she felt her throat close up and her hands start to shake.

It was all too easy to picture sekki pointed at her and those same words falling from his lips.

“You feeling alright? You kinda look like you’re going to be sick.”

Yato was bent over to lean in front of her face and she noticed a worried Yukine peeking out from behind him as well.

She shook her head and brushed a hand through her hair nervously, “I’m fine. Maybe just a bit tired.”

“Then don’t worry about our tutoring session today! Go home and get some rest.” Yukine stepped forward, surprising both her and Yato.

“I’m okay, really.” She raised her hand to wave him off and gave a small laugh but he only gave her a stern look in response.

“No, seriously. Go home, Hiyori. What if you are getting sick like Yato said? I don’t want you to push yourself and get worse.”

She parted her lips before giving a sigh of defeat and nodding, “Okay.”

Happy with her response, Yukine started walking forward while Yato stayed back. “He’s gotten super protective over everyone since—ya know. Anyway, I’ll check in on you later.” He gave a quick wave before running after Yukine.

The smile lingered on her face as she reflected on Yukine’s actions, but faded quickly as she kept walking and her fears sunk back in. Once she was home, she was pulled into a few chores by her parents and thankfully distracted for a small amount of time.

Alone in her bedroom, everything crashed down on her again as her eyes immediately moved towards the shrine that sat on her bedside table. Out of frustration, she dug for a five yen coin and deposited it on the shrine, ‘If it’s up to me, I won’t ever forget you. So please don’t ever consider cutting our ties. No matter what other people—other gods say. I want to be with you longer.’

She held a few fingers over the coin until she believed her willpower had truly been put into its essence before she let go to finish the prayer, clapping her hands together.

Not long after, she sat down on her bed and her phone made a loud ding to let her know that she had received a text message.

Can I come check on you?

She let out a sigh. Of course he would want to come over right now.

I guess so.

Practically as soon as she had sent the reply, he appeared in her room in a bright burst of light. “Hiya.” He greeted with a small smile before sitting next to her on the bed, concern taking over his expression, “How you feeling?”

She shrugged, not knowing how to answer, “Alright. I still don’t think I’m getting sick.”

He hummed in acknowledgement, not knowing how to answer either. Eventually his eyes slid over towards the shrine and he noticed the shine of the new coin. He reached over her to grab it, “You’ve got a new wish though, it seems.”

 Her mouth flew open as a bright red blush took over her face, “No!”

“No?” He raised an eyebrow, “You’re just randomly donating five yen to me now?”

“No! I just… I didn’t… want you to see that.” She hid her face as she took a breath.

“…But you put it on my shrine.”

“I know what I did.” She hissed back before letting out a loud groan.

“So you have a wish for me…” He tried to figure out the situation out loud, a puzzled expression, “But you don’t want me to know what it is?”

“Yes!” She answered, exasperated.

He blinked back at her, his expression unchanging.

“I know it’s stupid, okay.” She jumped up from the bed and crossed the room, unable to look at him.

She didn’t hear him get up but she felt the gentle touch of his hand at her wrist, “Any wish of yours is never stupid.”

Hiyori turned around and met his gaze, though she didn’t answer.

“My question is just, what aren’t you comfortable telling me?” He took his hand back to his side and placed it at his hip, “Knowing you, it’s probably something to help someone else.”

“No, it’s selfish.” She mumbled, looking down at her feet.

Yato scoffed, “I doubt it.”

“It is!” She raised her voice and looked up at him fiercely, “It’s something that would ask you to put my wants above many others.”

Donning a more serious expression, he took both of her hands in his and asked, “What is your wish, Hiyori?”

The tears immediately started streaming down her face and she swallowed a sob as she let out, “Don’t ever cut ties with me. No matter what Tenjin-sama says. Or Kazuma-san. Or Bishamon-san or Ebisu-san or… or anybody else.”

His eyes darkened, “Have they said anything to you?”

She shook her head, “No! No, not recently… I just, I just… I don’t want to lose you.” She grasped at his wrists as her knees started to buckle, “I… can’t stop thinking about it. When you have to do it… for other people. And I don’t—I don’t want someone else to decide what’s best for me.”

He let her fall into him and guided her down onto the floor, mostly into his lap. “We’ve been down that road before, Hiyori. And you told me that you didn’t want that. Until the day that you tell me you’ve changed your mind, I will always respect that.” He ran a hand through her hair soothingly.

She looked up at him, correcting, “I won’t ever change my mind.”

“Then there’s nothing to worry about.” He dug in his jacket pocket and held out the five yen coin, “And technically I don’t need this.”

Hiyori shoved it back towards him, closing his fist, “Consider it insurance for you to keep your word.”

“I’m a little hurt that you don’t trust me, but fine.” He pocketed it again but gave a pout.
