Where did it all begin? When did Yato develop feelings for the brunette, known as his best friend, Hiyori?
Back to when Yato was six, he was having a boring day as usual. He usually spent boring days staring out the window hoping for any excitement to spur but nothing seemed to be happening. That was until a truck stopped in front of the empty house that had a sign that Yato couldn't yet read.
Out came two men who were pulling out all different kinds of stuff from the back of the truck and going into the house. This peaked the small boy's curiosity as he walked out to his front yard and sat on the grass as the men continued on going into the truck, taking the things inside, and then coming back out to repeat everything.
After about five minutes, another man and woman appeared to talk to the men. 'I wonder what they are saying. Yato thought as he watched the man who was next to the woman give the men what appeared to be money. As the men were leaving in their truck, there appeared a small little girl behind the man and woman.
Yato perked up at the sight of another kid in his neighborhood, especially a girl. Now he was really curious. Who was this girl? Would she want to talk with him? Would she...even want to be friends? Taking a deep breath Yato carefully crossed the street and tried to approach the girl.
The woman, who must be the girl's mother, noticed a small boy coming up to them. She gave a soft smile and looked down to her daughter.
"Look Hiyori, someone who would like to be friends."
The girl, whose name is Hiyori, hid behind her mother's leg as she softly peeked out from the side and spoke timidly.
"H-hello. My-my name is Hiyori."
She was so shy...and really cute. Yato inwardly blushed and smiled at the timid girl. He extended his hand out to her.
"Hi, I'm Yato. Nice to meet ya!"
He stuck his tongue out and closed one eye in a cute and funny gesture. Hiyori giggled a bit and shook hands with the silly boy. This was the beginning of a blossoming friendship.

"Mom! I'm going over to play with Hiyori!"
The young boy called out to his mother as he headed for the door to slip on his shoes.
"Okay sweetie, be safe."
His mother answered as a smile spread across Yato's face as he slipped through the door and ran across, after looking both ways of the street, to Hiyori's house where he gingerly knocked and waited for an answer. 'I wonder what Hiyori and I are going to play today.'
After a few seconds, the door opened to reveal a small girl with bright pink eyes and chocolate hair.
"H-hi Yato. Are you here to have a pl-play da-date?"
She is so cute when she is shy; it made Yato's heart flutter with joy. Wait! Flutter? His heart? Yato was a boy! He can't be having these girly feelings. He inwardly stuck his tongue out in disgust at himself.
"Yeah, I am. Are you busy right now? I mean if you are then I can come by later when you're not."
Yato scratched that back of his head awkwardly as he softly giggled at his rambling. Hiyori seemed to have found it funny because she was also giggling softly.
"I'm not busy, silly. Come in."
She fully opened the door to let the small boy in as he stepped in and slipped his shoes off. Yato took the time to look around since this was his first time in her house. She has a very decent house; kind of like his only her's was a little bigger.
"You have a very nice house Hiyori. You should come to my house for a playdate soon."
The young girl's face brightened at the idea of coming over someone else's house. She hasn't ever been invited before but that's probably because she was really shy to approach someone and ask to be their friends.
"S-sure Yato. I'd be more than happy to come over your house sometimes...i-if that is okay."
Yato smiled as Hiyori returned the smile.
"Of course it's okay, silly. Just come over whenever you can."
Everything was turning white... What's going on now? 'Oh right....I must be waking up again.' He expected to hear the voice again before waking up but it didn't come this time. 'That's strange...where's the voice?' He waited and waited but he heard nothing. He inwardly sighed and closed his eyes. That was when he heard a child-like giggle and the sound of his name being called.
"Yato!~"
Then...his eyes snapped open and he was back to reality.
