[In that same way, with precious little else to focus on, Yato's begun to notice that all his hyped up feelings of adoration and affection have given way to a more subtle, sublime emotion. One he definitely won't be naming, to Hiyori or himself, because that way lies disaster. But it's still increasingly difficult to dismiss as mere infatuation or obsession.
But for now he can go on pretending, or doing his best to, anyway. To both of them. By acting like everything is perfectly normal, and this is a perfectly normal things housemates do together.
It kind of is, isn't it? Families bathe together. Friends bathe together. So why not them? That's what they are after all, friends!!
As Hiyori beats a hasty retreat, he raises a hand to wave her off.]
S-See ya! [Although she sure did move fast... Maybe she was cold? It is winter, after all. He sure feels plenty warm - in the face, if nowhere else.
With almost as much vigor, he hustles to the men's changing room to grab his new swimming trunks: blue with a cute cat print on them. No capyper merchandise here, regrettably. Once all kitted up, he makes his way into the mixed bath's changing room, towel covering his waist again just to keep warm.
Spotting Hiyori he slowly weaves past the other people to reach her side. She can probably smell him coming, sweating up a storm as he is out of sheer nerves. Upon reaching her, he lightly touches her arm to get her attention.]
OH. DARN.

H-Hiyori. You ready to go?
