Your POV
Accident. They were all accidents. The running away, the snuggling and teasing. I thought that maybe for a second he liked me back...I guess..I guess I was wrong.
"(Y/n)" Miach calls. I whip my head around from my thoughts.
"Yes?" I answer. We walked, trying to navigate our way out of the maze.
"What exactly happened?" Miach inquires. I look at him confused.
"Exactly how I explained it to Goddess Hestia..." I advert my gaze to the ground.
"(Y/n), I know you're lying." Miach states. I look at him surprised.
"B-but! How!?" I ask.
"Because I was right beside you when that little incident happened." He recalls. I blush remembering the kiss.
"Y-you..." I swallow, "saw th-that?"
"Mhm" Miach smiles.
"...I just. I didn't want Hestia to be angry with Bell. Bell loves and respects her and I didn't want to ruin it." I explain
"You have a kind heart, (y/n). But are you sure you did the right thing?"
"I don't know...it felt right...I really am to blame, aren't I?"
"Now I wouldn't say that." He looks at me with a soft expression. "What I'm saying is, are you making the right decision in thinking that avoiding him for a misunderstanding is the right thing?" I gaze at Miach.
How did he-
"Know? Well, I am your God...I know all!" He teases. I stare at him shocked.
"Can you...read minds?" I ask intently.
"Haha, no...you're just easy to read." He smiles. We walk in silence for the time being.

When we made it out of the maze we headed straight for home. I shiver at the autumn wind, realizing I still had Bell's coat.
How am I supposed to return this...
As I think I stare at the trees softly blowing in the wind.
"Miach?"
"Yes, (y/n)?"
"Do you think I'll ever see Bell again?"
Miach is silent for a moment.
"Well, wouldn't you say that that depends on you?" He questions. My (h/c) hair sways with the autumn leaves as I ponder.
I...want to see Bell again...I want to talk to him...and laugh. I want to go on more adventures.
I need to see Bell.
"But...what about Goddess Hestia, she forbids me from seeing him." I look down sadly.
"Has that ever stopped you?" Miach implies.
"Well, no...but she likes Bell...romantically."
"Oh, well, I never thought about that."
"Y-yeah..." I blush.
"What does Master Bell think of you?" Miach asks. I feel my face burning.
"Ahh...uhm..I-I don't think he..mmm..that h-he likes me..." I say embarrassed.
"How can you be sure?"
"W-well...he said that e-everything w-was an accident..." I say quietly.
"Don't you think he was just trying to protect you from Lady Hestia?"
My eyes widen.
Was he? I remember him telling me that'd he'd protect me...
My thoughts trail as we continue to walk home.

As we neared home, I stopped to watch the leaves blow from the trees.
"Are you coming inside?" Miach asked. I hesitated.
"N-no. I'm going to stay out for a bit longer if that's okay with you..."
"Before you do anything...get changed." Miach winked and then walked inside. I stood there and thought for a long time.

I know what I have to do.
