"I want to stay with you! I want to be with you forever!"

Yatori is the het ship between Yato and Hiyori Iki from the Noragami fandom.

Canon
Yato and Hiyori meet by chance when Hiyori pushes him out of the way of an incoming truck. Prior to this, they had made eye contact on the street, but Yato did not think much of it since most humans cannot see him. In fact, while he knew that Hiyori was trying to save him, to most onlookers, it seemed that Hiyori leapt into oncoming traffic for no reason. This event causes Hiyori's soul to be knocked loose, causing her body to fall asleep randomly and her soul to wander free. Eventually the two meet again at the hospital Hiyori's family owns where Hiyori is seen resting after the accident, Yato visits Hiyori in order to make sure she's okay but Hiyori freaks out until and tries calling the police on Yato until Yato mentions he's a stray god.

Hiyori is released from the Hospital and she meets Yato again, when trying to find a cat named 'Milord'.

She commissions Yato, for five yen, to help bind her soul back to her body.

Kazuma realizes that Hiyori most likely has feelings for Yato, but it's known to be a sin for mortals to confess their love to Gods, meaning that Gods and mortals couldn't be together. After listening to Kazuma, Hiyori weeps and realizes she's in love with Yato.

And as of manga chapter 79, Yato admitted that he too loved someone, while looking down at the capyper inari that Hiyori had made for him, smiling at it.
