[Alas, this is one of the key differences between their experiences. Yato may not have ever engaged anybody in kissing before Hiyori, but he's seen a lot of them, of all types, and just naturally assumed that would be the inevitable path their relationship would take.

He doesn't even realize how much he's flustered and confused her for a couple of minutes, until it dawns on him that she hasn't uttered so much as a peep since his comment.

He hesitates with his spoon hovering halfway to his mouth, staring at her, baffled. What...?]

Hiyori?

[Only then does his wording sink in, causing him to abruptly drop said spoon, making a bit of a mess as he flails his hands about.]

T-That's not what I meant! I didn't mean to put it like that! Your kisses are wonderful as is...! I just-- I only meant--!

[Shit.

Forgive his stupid, big mouth, Hiyori...]
