[It's the same reason Yato couldn't quite bring himself to wrestle the lot of them back to where they came from immediately after he realized what was going on. And, when push comes to shove (literally), it's likely why even his doppelgangers would be hard-pressed to actually usurp their original.
Not that it doesn't mean they can't contemplate the notion. Because in the moment, with Hiyori's warmth surrounding him, it makes the blond seriously consider such a devious act.
Selfish, that's what Yato is. All of him.
Sighing sadly, he can't resist nuzzling against her hands, not unlike a cat.]
Yeah... I guess so. You fell for him, stupidity and all. [Sighing, he reaches up to cover her hands with his own, half tempted to pry them off yet at the same time not wanting the contact to end. After listening to her reasoning, he's almost able to smile sadly but can't quite manage it, instead it comes off like a wince.]
You really have considered it a lot, then, huh... Then... I won't push you to choose me. Even if I'd like to stay with you, too. Because I do like you, Hiyori. A lot. More than I let on. I want to take care of you, to see you happy. Not getting overwhelmed by my original self's stupid antics to the point where you need to go hide in your room.
But I suppose there is some merit to his dumbass whole self. He did manage to win you over on his own. Just... promise me you won't sacrifice your own happiness for his. Be firm when you need to be. Even if it means making him take back ridiculous gifts.
[At that last part he does smile, if halfheartedly.]
HEHEHE.....
