Work Text:
“Yukine Yukine Yukine,” Yato said incessantly.
“Yato what?” Yukine cut in, looking over from the schoolwork he was doing in their attic room.
When Yato didn't respond Yukine prompted again, “What?”
“I wanna make something for Hiyori’s birthday, I can’t buy her anything so this is all I can give,” Yato said. Yukine wasn't sure why this was accompanied by Yato looking at him like a kicked puppy
“Right, and?”
“Well I need to know what size to make this,” Yato held up what looks to Yukine like a tangle of yarn. Yato responded to Yukine’s blank look, “it’s a sweater!”
“Oh,” Yukine said, “sure, but how do you propose I get Hiyori’s size exactly Yato?”
“No no I'll get it, I just need you to distract her,” Yato assured
Yukine shrugged in agreement and Yato began explaining his plan.
The next time Hiyori was over for a dinner prepared by Daikoku. Yato stepped up from the table and wildly waved from behind Hiyori’s back.
Yukine tried to nod back discreetly. Yato scurried away and came back with his tracksuit top zipped all the way up. As Yato approached Hiyori from behind Yukine gave Yato a very skeptical look.
Hiyori noticed and started to turn around saying, “whats-”
Yukine quickly cut hiyori off, “Hiyori! I had a question about some math work I was doing earlier.”
As Yukine had hoped Hiyori immediately perked up and focused on Yukine. She couldn't resist helping Yukine out with his school work.
As Yukine described his problems and hiyori helped re-explain the solutions Yukine kept an eye on Yato behind her. He was holding up his jacket as close behind her as he could without disturbing her.
Yato held out the jacket in every dimension, pausing sometimes to think or repeat a measurement. At one point one of the arms of the jackets brushed Hiyori’s back. She reached behind herself and unconsciously brushed at the spot.
Yukine leaned forward and quickly asked another question to distract her.
After another minute Yato balled up his jacket and gave Yukine a huge thumbs up. Yukine continued the conversation he was having with Hiyori and before long Yato came back into the room and settled back into his spot across the table.
Once Hiyori had finished up what she was explaining and making sure Yukine understood she turned to Yato.
Yukine noticed that as she turned to Yato her smile changed. She had smiled at him of course. But when she looked at Yato the smile changed. Became softer, yet also brighter somehow. Yukine sees the smile fluster Yato but he smiles shyly back.
Yukine doesn't know why Yato is so worried about Hiyori liking him when it is obvious to him that she's just as enamoured with him as he is with her.
The only conclusion he can come up with is that they're both idiots. He looked at them both leaning over the table towards each other. Yup idiots.
