[By now he's probably just accepted the fact that Yato is like their second unofficial cat, coming and going as he pleases... So there's no fuss about him spending more time than usual in their apartment! No griping about the space he's taking up or this or that little grievance.
Instead, there's horror. What's arguably the best part of Yato staying over is that they get to eat! His! Food!! And Kashuu's discovered something horrendous as he's gone to reheat some leftovers from a tasty dish he's particularly fond of, which he needs to share immediately.]
your food is tasteless
[No time for better wording HE IS IN A PANIC.]

[ Then that bat is getting batted to its death, because Yato automatically turns to slice it in two with his Fucked Up Katana. A small pack of mistletoe bats flutters overhead, and he goes back to swordkilling them with absurd precision. A gentle rain of perfectly cut leafparts flutters around him... ]
Don't try to dump yours on me! I've got enough to deal with!
[ In fact, more are swooping down from the sky as he speaks. ]

Noooooo!
( there's a clear yell as yukine dashes his way down the sidewalk. he's got his backpack pulled up against the back of his head as if he were trying to shield himself from some unforeseen menace in the sky.
that's when the large hoard of melodically chirping bats come into view, effortlessly soaring after yukine as they change places in formation as if they were doing some kind of musical number. )
No more bats!!!
( which is probably when he runs right into yato. )

[ Yato manages to keep himself and Yukine upright, but he quickly notices the bats fluttering after Yukine and points and man-screeches at them. ]
Ahhhh!! These again?! Why did you bring them here?!
[ Why is Yato being plagued by these awful holiday creatures!!! ]

I didn't mean to!!
( IMMEDIATELY as he ducks in closer like that'll magically make him invisible to the bats or something. they hover cheerfully in the sky, their song loud and vaguely threatening as far as yukine is concerned. )
I can't get them to back off!

Whoa—hey!
( the words basically fall out of his mind as soon as he can reconcile with what yato is saying to him, which does take him a few seconds, leaving him blankly staring up at yato.
then his hands are flying to yato's mouth, dropping his backpack in the process, to muffle him from saying anything like that again. )
You can't say stuff like that!!

[ What could the wrong idea be! Yato just wants to share his holiday love!!
Either way, a dark look spreads across Yato's brow. ]
There's no escape from these monsters. I've tried. They'll only keep swarming and swarming until they ruin your love for a timeless Christmas song.

[So there Yato is on the way to work when all of a sudden someone nails him in the back of the head with a snowball.
When he turns around to find the culprit, he'll see none other than Aki, with a snowball still clutched in her other hand too.]
Surprise, bitch.
[She tries to nail him in the face with the second one, once he does turn to face her...]

[ The second snowball hits him in the face, but he hardly notices. The crumbles slide right down his face, chased away by the radiant warmth of his joy. ]
Aki! You can see again!
[ She can probably guess what's coming next: here he comes to try and scoop her into a hug, smattered with snow. ]

Am I supposed to care?
[And that's admittedly when another mistletoe bat gets batted - but this time it's on fire seeing as Baren felt like flipping out his lighter and igniting it. It gets knocked into some other bats, which also catch flame and squeak when they would probably rather scream.]

[Except, well, y'know.
Now that she remembers him, she remembers him not being a part of her life for a while. As far back as July, she hasn't really spoken to him in a way that wasn't entirely transient. It was as if he was gone entirely.
And now...
(Maybe it's not so bad...if I say I missed you too, you dumb dog.)]

[So naturally she knees him in the stomach after some time of hugging.]
Enough! If I get any of your sweat on me I'm gonna need another shower!
[She'll keep that feeling close to her heart.
And it's because it's such a precious feeling that it'll stay so closely guarded.]

[ And she said his name!! The fleeting hug is worth the knee to the gut... and the brief moment where she allows the hug to happen doesn't go unnoticed. Yato lets go with a little oof, but he ignores her scolding effortlessly. His chest puffs out and his hands go to his hips, as if Aki's renewed ability to see him is something to be proud of. ]
Does this mean you're a spirit again?
