Feeling (Yato x Reader)

6: Importance

—Hiyori

It had been only a day since Yukine and I had talked to each other. I wanted to see if maybe Yato and I could talk to each other. Maybe he'd be willing to say what was wrong if I asked.

"Oh, hey Hiyori," Yukine said when I walked through Kofuku's door.

"Hi Yukine. Is Yato here?" I asked.

"Ah, you just missed him. He came back last night and left a few minutes ago to see (Y/n)," he replied.

"Oh... I see..." I trailed off. "Did he say anything? I was hoping to see him today and maybe try and ask him what's been wrong," I added.

"No, he came home all silent. It made Diakoku pritty upset but he seemed like he had been drinking so it wasn't worth trying to get him to talk," Yukine answered.

I gave a sigh and looked at him. "I'm so worried about him... Did you find anything out from (Y/n)?" I asked.

Yukine shook his head. "She said she didn't know. I don't blame her, she hasn't known him long. But she said she was going to ask about it the next time she saw him. Hopefully today we'll get some results," he said.

"I hope so too..." I trailed off.

Just then, Kofuku rounded the corner and looked at us. She was less peppy than usual. This was the most sad I'd ever seen her. "Are you guys talking about Yati?" She asked.

I glanced at Yukine then nodded in response.

She gave a soft whine. "Oh, Yori, he was so sad yesterday. He wouldn't eat, and you know how Yati is!" She said.

"I know, I know..." I said.

"Tell you what. Guy better start talkin' fast or I'm gonna start throwing hands. How dare he not tell us? Does he not care that we care at all?" Diakoku said as he walked into the room. He was starting lunch.

"Well, hurting him isn't gonna help," I pointed out.

"Maybe Diakoku's right. He just needs some sense knocked into him. Something to make him get a reality check," Yukine cut in.

"I don't care what it takes, I just want Yati to get better!" Kofuku said.

"All of us do, my lady," Diakoku replied.

"Do you guys mind if I stay for lunch? My parents are working and your cooking is so good. I really don't want to have take out again," I said.

Diakoku smiled at me a bit and nodded. "Sure, why not?" He said.

I smiled and bowed my head to him. "Thank you," I replied.

—You

The weekend was here at last, though I'd only gone to school for one day, it was still fantastic to say the least that I didn't have to go back for another two days.

It seemed though that I could never catch a break. One moment I was stressing about myself, the next, Yukine comes in saying Yato's been having a lot of troubles.

Why was he so stubborn? Why wouldn't he tell anyone, not even Yukine or Hiyori about what was wrong with him. It reminded me fondly of myself before...

And that's when it hit me.

Was Yato trying to kill himself? Was he trying to sever all his bonds? My mind began to race. Yato and that whole part of my life made me happier than I'd been in a very long time. To lose that meant I'd lose my happiness.

I was so worried that my attempt at a nap was a fail. I tried to close my tired eyes yet they seemed to be pinned open.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind me. One I recognized well.
