[ no, he doesn't do anything by halves. not like her, apparently. yato's father called her feelings half-assed. are they? whatever those feelings are (she knows she knows she knows) they don't feel half-assed at all. they feel a little bit consuming. a little bit prickling, all over her skin.
his staring, his eyebrows raising, his jaw-dropping, his higher pitch only makes that feeling stronger. it was so much easier to ignore it all when something was going on. she doesn't have the luxury of getting kidnapped or yato disappearing for a month or heaven attacking (that's not luxury that's the opposite of luxury) to fall back on.
as much as she misses being back home too, and those excuses, she's eventually decided it's no use crying about it either. everything will be fine.
everything will be fine if she joins him in the hot spring, too. just! splashing around!! in a hot spring. where you're not supposed to splash around.
what is she doing. ]
Yep. I'll meet you there. [ hiyori nods, feeling her own heart start to beat painfully in her chest. hard and a bit adamant. telling her all the things she doesn't want to say aloud. she isn't ready to. not yet. as much as she's started to say them to herself, in the privacy of her thoughts. ]
See ya!! [ that said, she turns and heads in the opposite direction in all but a sprint. back to the ladies' bath where she left her clothes and a bathing suit. just in case.
What the heck am I doing?? I must be out of my mind. Me? Going to the mixed baths? WITH YATO?
sure is. just a bit later she's there and clutching her towel to her chest, hiding her bathing suit behind it. men and women both are loitering about, so there are no cries about PERVERT this time. as she thought, this is pretty normal around here. there's no reason to get annoyed that yato wanted to find the mixed bathing. none.
but she was. is.
Something is going to happen, I know it. lamenting to herself as she puts her clothes in a cubby and glances around furtively for a certain pair of eyes or any other sign of him. his smell. ]
LMFAO NOOOO
