[He wouldn't blame her if she was, honestly. He was driven to distraction during those months without her, slowly going mad and taking Yukine with him on the crazy train.
It's true that when you're born for a purpose and to be used, you don't have many boundaries. None at all, really. His father got to abuse him as he pleased, siccing his ayakashi wolves on, stealing away the only friend he had who wasn't his sister... Even now he still doesn't put up as many boundaries as he probably should. Between him and Hiyori herself, between his work life and his home one. Everything bleeds together until he's a mess of a person with a convoluted sense of self.
But that's okay. He'll sort it out as he goes, bit by bit, until he's at least sort of balanced. And if not... well, he'll continue to be a mess for another thousand years. That's fine too.
Because he's finally happy. He's got a special someone waiting for him at home, and he has one here. The two treasures of his life. That's why he can go about his business unbothered by so much. He has friends to stand by him now. The one before him being a bright light in his life, that makes him smile like he is now, pleased and with the tension draining away by the minute.]
You're not gonna use me for a wrestling partner anymore? That's a bummer.
[He teases gently, at least until she asks him that question. Then his lips pull into a frown, curiosity written across his face.]
What do you mean? I'm still aiming for that. I'm gonna slay that kaiju and get my name plastered all over some goodies, just you watch! Everyone will know me once I'm through with it!
