New Year

                                    

                                          


                          
                   
                          
  They were at Kofuku's and Daikoku's place in the backyard. The sound of the festival could be heard, and all of them were excited for the upcoming year. 
                          
  Kofuku was jumping up and down, her eyes bright and alive despite the time. There were only a few minutes left until the fireworks started, symbolizing that the old year has ended.
                          
  "Ahhh! I can't wait!" 
                          
  She waved her hands around and looked at Hiyori. She was in her phantom form, and in her pajamas. Her body was at home, sleeping on the couch with her parents watching on the TV.
                          
 Yato was sitting beside her and Yukine leaning against a tree, both looking up at the clear sky.
                          
  "Hiyori-chan are you ready?!" Kofuku grabbed her hand and spun her around.
                          
  "Y-yes!" She could only manage to say one word because the world started spinning. Kofuku was giggling, and she suddenly let go, and grabbed Daikoku's hand.
                          
  "My lady!" He yelled.
                          
  Hiyori stumbled back a few steps and regained her balance, she laughed at the two dancing around and glanced down at the god below her.
                          
  She saw something in his eyes that made her sense something was wrong
                          
  "Yato?"
                          
  He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up.
                          
  "Are you okay?"
                          
  Hiyori sat down beside him and his smell filled her lungs. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kofuku take Yukine's hand. He started yelling and laughing at the same time.
                          
 "Yeah." He fixed his gaze back up again.
                          
   "I don't believe you." She thought he might be drunk, but there was no trace of alcohol on him. He felt her stare on him and tore his eyes away from the sky to her.
                          
  "It's just gets boring, you know? Tomorrow's going to be the same as always."
                          
  She nodded, knowing what he meant. A god that's lived for more than 100 years getting used to the things signifying a new one. That was him. He lived everyday expecting nothing life-changing to happen. 
                          
 "Yeah." 
                          
  He took in a breath, surprised that she understood his thoughts so quickly. Nothing new would happen tomorrow, nothing that would change him. Nothing that would turn him into someone important.
                          
  She gave a small smile. "I get it." Her thoughts were whirling in her head. She could do something that could change his life, but it would forever change hers too.
                          
  Yato smiled back and exhaled. He realized he had been holding his breath without knowing it.
                          
  Then she knew, she knew that she had to do it. Those eyes she was looking into right now were dull. Dull and without any spark. She wanted to change his life, even if it meant changing hers too.
                          
  "But Yato."
                          
  Her voice surprised him. It was soft and gentle, but had a sense of determination in it. Her eyes were searching him, looking deep into his soul.
                          
 "You can change that."
                          
  Yukine, Kofuku, and Daikoku were watching the sky now, waiting for it to light up, but the two of them were lost in each other.
                          
  "How?"
                          
  Both were leaning in, his blue eyes never looking away from her. His mind was going wild, knowing what she was going to do.
                          
  She was going to change his life forever.
                          
  He closed his eyes, hearing Kofuku shriek and hearing the sound of fireworks going off a second after. 
                          
  And feeling her lips brush against his.
                          
  "Happy New Year!!"
                          
That's when both knew they would stay with each other, for the rest of their lives.
