It Started With A Kiss

Chapter 31: I want to hear your answer

"I-I really like you Yato."

"Hiyori.."

My heart's been thumping really loud on my chest. I can't make it stop. I felt happy to see him but I accidentally blurted it out.

I couldn't face him. I was so embarrassed.

It's about to be midnight soon.

Silence remained. It was an awkward one for me. He was left speechless. I don't know on what's he gonna say, but I can sensed that his face was fully scarlet.

I didn't expect that I would be the first one who would confessed it. Usually it would be a guy who would make the first move.

I was suddenly pulled out of my daydream when a pair of arms were encircling my body. I gasped a little as I tried to pull away, "Y-Yato.." "I never even thought you would say that all of a sudden."

He groped me tighter, "So you knew..all this time..?" "So what if I did?" To be honest, I'm not good in expressing my feelings.

"Honestly Hiyori, you really are a bad liar."

I chuckled. "So do you." I countered. I heard him chuckled back.

"Well you got some of my traits, that's for sure.." I forced a laugh on his joke.

"What are you.." He let go of me as I looked at him.

"I knew you would say that again." Again? That's when I found out I confessed my feelings to him while I was drunk.

Ohhh crap..

He smirked widely. "Th-That's not what..its wasn't.." I averted my gaze while blushing.

He stepped closer, "Hiyori Hiyori Hiyori. You really suck at lying, admit it." He lowered down his voice until it softened.

"What d'you --" I was cut off when a pair of soft and decent lips caught mine once again. I was left open when he cupped my face. I saw him smiling before he pulled away. He glanced at his watch, "Only a few more minutes."

"Hiyori, will you grant me my wish?" he held my hand, blushing. "...will you let me take it to the next level?"

I heard the wind gushing and petals fell slowly around us.

I shot my eyes open, as I heard his confession loud and clear. Is he asking me to be his..

My heart was already bouncing in crazy.

"Uhmm..." I tried to make a clear answer, but I felt a lump on my throat. I couldn't find the right one. Should I accept it or not? But for some reason, I don't know if I can. Its not like I'm ready. That wasn't the one that had been weighing on my mind.

My face flushed but deep inside, I couldn't help but feel guilty, forcing me to spill it yet it won't allow me.

A God and a mere human cannot fall in love with each other.

. "...yori."

I felt like I was going to collapse by any second the minute he said those words. Those words made me frozen, unable to think clearly whether I should take the risk or not.

"Hiyori..!" I blinked out of my thoughts as Yato was standing there waiting for an answer. His hand was still glued into mine.

"Is it a yes?" He asked softly. His eyes were pleading into mine.

Silence took over me. All I can hear was the wind blowing into my ears. "Yato..I..."

Fujisaki's words won't leave my mind. My mind's so drifted right now. I couldn't give him a straight answer.

If you're willing to know my answer,

I wanted to say yes with no regret...

He had a shocked expression when he saw me in tears. He couldn't tell whether I'm happy or not.

....I don't want to hurt you...

I gave him an answer that I couldn't return.

I blurted out a wrong one. It was an unforgettable yet a mistake that I shouldn't make. His expression grew wider as he swooped me into his arms. He was so happy.

"Thank you Hiyori..." he whispered softly, tenderly, gently on my ear. His hot breath sniffed into my skin as I felt a huge weight of my body had been released. He let go of me as he grinned innocently,

"I promise that I will make you happy Hiyori." When he said those words, it clutched my chest so much. That I couldn't tell him. It was so tight, it really hurts.

As he kissed me in the lips, a tear escaped from my eye. Yato slipped his hand to my tear as he wiped it off. I wish I could say it. I want him to know. If Fujisaki is really his Father, then how come Yato doesn't know this..?

But I want to be happy..

He made the kiss deeper as I hesitantly wrapped my arms onto his neck. He really does smell nice.

My wish was already granted...

He snaked his hands onto my waist, as he doesn't want to stop. Controlling myself, I smiled between our kiss. And so did he. I don't want anything distracting me right now. I want to hold onto this moment longer until the very end. Whatever happens, I won't forget this day. This special day that almost made me alive again. Realizing that without them, my life would be normal. It won't be the same without them. My life wouldn't be happier if he's not there...

I wanted to save them. Even if it costs me my life.

I'm doing this to protect you, Yato...

I don't wanna tell him right now. Not while my wish is completely fulfilled. I wanted to stay with him longer. I wanted to be with him forever.

Tears won't stop falling.

It's because I love you.
