He has grown to enjoy holding her, simply enjoying her company. It served as a reminder that she was still here, that she wasn't gone.

It was only moments before it stirs Hiyori awake, and soon she's sitting up with concern, concern overtaking her features, and her actions.

"Yato...?" The brunette calls his name, shaking him gently. She had every reason to be concerned. He seemed completely distraught.

He finally wakes, his eyes jolting open, and alarm overtaking his expression, He cries out her name, the nightmare seeming still so real to him. He glances to the side, and his eyes meet hers. And seeing those magenta eyes still full of life put him at ease.

"..I.. I had a nightmare... that I lost you..:" He states, before he embraces her tightly, just to make sure she was actually here. He just had to be sure.

"Yato. Hey, I'm with you, okay? Always." She assures, relaxing into his arms, and holding him as well.

And that's the way they stayed.
