Another Stray God [Noragami x Reader]

Chapter 22: Snake

You woke up to find yourself covered in bandages and lying on a soft bed. A dark haired man sat at the floor while facing his back to you and scribbling on a notebook. "Yato?"

Several hours earlier...

"Revert, Riku." You gasped for air out of exhaustion. "Good work again..." Your body felt heavy as if you have a high fever. You lose balance before a pair of arms caught you.

"You stupid weaboo god, didn't you heard anything I said?" A pair of worried blue eyes met yours as you looked up to the owner of the voice. "Geez, why are you so stubborn?"

You unconsciously hugged him and muttered. "Yato, I finally freed him. Haku will not suffer anymore."

"Haku? I thought he died years ago." Yato said in confusion. "(y/n)?" He noticed your condition and then carried you. "I'm tired too, you know?"

Back to the current time...

You sat and called Yato again after he ignored you. "Yato? What are you doing?"

"Ah! You woke up too soon, (y/n)!" Yato finally noticed you and then closed his notebook. "I'm not done yet!"

"Done with what?" You walked over to him and then snatched the notebook on his hand. The drawing on the first page surprised you that a tear suddenly dropped from your eye.

It is an unfinished drawing of you and your late shinki, Haku. His gentle smile plastered  on his face while the current you is standing beside him.

Yato snatched it back from you. "W-What are you crying about?! You're tears would make it wet!" (Ohohohoho I think that sounded quite wrong ∪･ω･∪)

"I-I'm not crying, stupid!" You looked away while wiping your teary eyes. "Why did you draw that anyways?!"

"So that if you'll ever miss him, you could just look at this. Besides, his wish is for you to be happy, right? He wouldn't want to see you like that." Yato answered as he continued on coloring his drawing.

"How did you know?" You asked him in confusion. You don't remember telling him about Haku's wish.

"He knew he's in danger that day. I told him everything about you but he still insisted to stay. He could have been a great examplar for Riku if he couldn't have turned into something like that. (y/n), continue on living for Haku." Yato said with a serious expression on his face. "And by the way, this is not for free."

You grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at his face. "You god of scammers!"

"Not this time, (y/n)!" He posed dramatically as if imitating a king. "Because this god of scammers you're calling, made a hafuri!"

"H-Hafuri?!" You shouted in shock while he stood stood in front of you proudly. "Y-Yukine-kun became a hafuri?! For you?!"

"Oi, Yato, don't brag about it too much! (y/n) still needs to rest!" Yukine entered the room with a small blush on his face.

"Yukine-kun, I'm more worried about you. Are you really sure you'd like to stay with that creepy idiot and his sweaty hands?" You pretended to whisper on Yukine's ears loud enough for Yato to hear.

"To be honest, I think I'd rather go with you, (y/n)." Yukine said, emphasizing your name which seemed to stabbed Yato.

"Yukine! Don't listen to that demon!" He yelled.

"Well, stop bragging about it to everyone or else I'll really leave you, jerk!" The boy answered before leaving.

'Is it weird for me to ship them? They argue like a married couple.' You thought to yourself while weird thoughts are going through your mind. "How are the others?"
