Heaven’s Render

Summary: The Kingdom of Heaven falls from grace by the absence of its Queen, Amaterasu, and is replaced by the wretched phony, King of Heaven (Father). Yato, known as Heaven’s Render, has been stealing from the rich to feed the poor ever since fleeing from the king's dark reign. Years have passed, and upon returning home to Near Shore Yato finds the chance to meet his childhood friend, Hiyori Iki, once more. As fate would have it, with trustworthy comrades by his side, he might be the only one to save the Kingdom.

Heaven’s Render - A Robin Hood AU

Art by my friend @ayyydrie and full fic coming soon! @noragamibigbang

There was a cherry tree in the back of the castle, in the courtyard just on the other side of the garden. It was often Hiyori’s favorite spot to read her books that she stole from her older brother. Books about adventures and the battles within, of heroes and villains, the greatest fight against good and evil.

It was often the place that Yato would sit there together with her, taking a nap after his sword practice. The scent of cherry blossoms and a hint of his musk would get caught on the breeze ever so often.

Sometimes she’d imagine the hero’s having the same scent.

There were times when Hiyori would catch sneak peeks of his sleeping face. He had long lashes that fluttered when he dreamed. In the summers she admired his exposed nape while his hair was tied up in a knot. Sometimes, if he were close enough, his head would fall on her shoulder as he napped.

Hiyori never minded.

So Yato never stopped.

He liked how comforting her shoulder was. He enjoyed hearing the sound of her breath and heartbeat as she continued to turn the pages. He sometimes would act like he was asleep only to join her in the adventures of her favorite heroes.
