[What is nothing more than surprise and nerves, he takes as revulsion, hurriedly removing his hand from her mouth with a blush to rival hers. Perhaps it came across as him literally rubbing it in that she'd kissed other people, even if they were him in a manner of speaking. He had no idea shit would get so damn complicated so quickly when he let those guys stay.

Now it's seeming like a totally bad idea. But it's a little late for remorse now. All he can do is work hard to repair whatever damage has been done, and to prevent any more from occurring. But how? How does he make her feel better about this...? The romantic, pop culture side of him says "kiss her." The side that's grown more wise and sensible says "no you idiot!" But it doesn't have any other ideas to offer, the useless side.]

Still...

[He's entirely convinced and it shows. His shoulders sag until he looks like he's going to outright wilt. And he pretty much does as she continues, getting emotional and worked up to the point she's shouting. He doesn't give a damn if anyone hears, clones or not. He just wants her to be happy, dammit...!]

I told you it's fine, Hiyori...! Please... If kissing me is what you wanted, then kiss me! Don't let those dumbasses spoil things for us so soon--!

[Unfortunately there's a knock on the door right then - or more like a symphony of knocks as the group of Yatos all squeeze themselves in front of Hiyori's door to check on her.]

You okay, Hiyori?

Anything you need?

Is someone bothering you in there?

[At hearing his voice ring out multiple times in quick succession, Yato twitches and whirls on the door, putting an arm out in front of Hiyori as though to shield her from the onslaught of conversation.]

All of you all, shut up and go away! We're trying to have a moment here!!

[That causes quite the stir on the other side of the door, with protests and whines and grumbles, and one exasperated moan.]
