As fate would have it.

How do you feel?

"S-Say, Yato. D-Do you remember our first kiss?"

"W-What? That was pretty random. W-Why a-are you bringing t-this up all of a sudden?", he started to blush.

"I-I just thought about it. J-Just answer my question!", she couldn't describe how embarrassed she was.

"Of course I do. That was quiet a mess that night.", Yato remembered.

It happened one evening at Kofuku's place. They were having a nice evening together, drinking and playing the king's game. Of course it was Kofuku's idea and the others were actually hoping that she wouldn't take it too far. Yato was already slightly drunk because he was drinking beer, making him a little jingled.

"Alright I am the KIIING!", Kofuku sang, earning her worried looks from the others, "SOOO! I demand number three and five to kiss on the lips!"

"Oh good I'm out.", Yukine discovered relieved.

"Who is number three? Who is number three?", Kofuku asked bending from side to side excited, cupping her own cheeks.

"That would be me.", Yato answered looking away shyly.

"UUUH! And who will be the lucky one Yatty has to kiss?"

Without a word Hiyori held up her piece of paper, showing the number five. Her head was as red as a tomato and she couldn't face Yato who blushed, even more after seeing who he was supposed to kiss.

"Now this is how I like it! Alright then, kiss!", Kofuku couldn't be happier about this situation.

"W-Well, I ... I guess w-we j-just get it o-over with?", Yato asked, still unable to face Hiyori.

"Y-Yeah."

Slowly they faced each other, both scarlet red and got closer. They both closed their eyes and Yato put his lips on Hiyori's as fast as he could.

It was barley a second but Hiyori had never felt something like this. His lips were soft and even though it was a rushed kiss, he was really gentle, almost like the touch of a butterfly.

" I can't believe you really did it!", Kofuku said being more than amused.

"You were the one who ordered us to do it in the first place!", Yato retorted.

"Yeah but I never thought you would actually do it.", the pink haired goddess laughed.

"Uhm- I-I n-need t-to l-leave n-now. T-There are a-actually a few assignments that I s-still have t-to do. S-See you tomorrow!", Hiyori stuttered rushing outside to get home.

She was so embarrassed and her heart was beating like it would jump right out of her chest. She could feel her pulse in her entire body and it was like butterflies were fluttering inside of her stomach.

That very moment she remembered that Fujisaki once asked her if she was just pitying Yato or if she was actually in love with him.

Now she knew the answer.
She really was in love with Yato.

Back in her room she was laying on her bed, staring outside at a bright full moon through her window. She couldn't sleep because her heart was still beating like crazy. She still felt Yato's lips on top of hers and she had to blush just by thinking about it. How was she supposed to face him again after an experience like that? After she had discovered how she really felt for him.
