Anteiku was about to close, but as its condition, nobody would really notice people were still working. Nishiki was just washing up the remaining cups for the night, Yoshimura just came back from Touka's room with an upset look on his face. "So how's it doing?" Asked Nishki, Yoshimura looks at him with an angry face hearing the question. "Fine! How's SHE doing?", Yoshimura then replies, "Thank you, anyway Touka wouldn't wanna talk to me. She seemed more depressed than last time.".
Suddenly they realize that it's been about three years ever sense a certain event that would always be remembered. Nishiki then stops the silence saying, "I know he's gonna come back, but as days go on by... I'm not sure anymore." To Yoshimura, it was a surprise, especially having to hear it out of Nishiki. Yoshimura then answers with, "I'm sure he's busy at the moment! Then if he has free time, he'll come to drop by, say hi to everyone, like always!".
Nishiki then nodding ok, the two attend to their needs before leaving Anteiku. With the front door suddenly opening, Nishki assumes it being a customer; Nishki then walks to the front trying to inform the person about the time. "Apologies sir! We are about t-..." It was at that moment, he saw what looked to be a familiar sight.
"K-Kane-...", "Man! I really wanted a latte, one with the rabbit pictures that are always there." Interrupted the man who entered the cafe. Nishiki then replies trying to speak right, "Kaneki!", "Nishiki! Anyone else here? Or are we gonna be saying each other's names over and over again?". Yoshimura then walks in with the same shocked face Nishiki had while seeing Kaneki.
Nishki finally answers saying, "Where the hell have you been dumbass!? You had almost everyone worrying you wouldn't return dammit!". Kaneki soon puts a face of a child trying to apologize to Nishiki, "I'm sorry I took so long, I just got lost for a bit. But I'm back now!", Both Yoshimura and Nishiki suddenly turned from shocked to relaxed knowing that Kankei's back.
Kaneki brings a hand to the back of his head while tilting his head down enough to see the ground, "So... Umm... Is...", Yoshimura then stops him there replying, "In her room!" With Nishiki following with, "And more of a-" Nishiki then realizes Yoshimura glaring at him with what Nishiki would consider terrifying. "A-grouchy person than usual.", Yoshimura then wears that smile he just had towards Kaneki.
Soon Kaneki arrives at Touka's front door, knowing his manners, he knocked. At first, no one answered it, so Kaneki then knocked again, this time with some one replying. "Dammit old man I told you to go awa-" It was Touka who opened the door seeing it wasn't Yoshimura, but Kaneki. "Hi! Touka-chan!", At the moment, Touka had what looked to be a more surprised face than what the guys had in Anteiku.
"Now before you hit me, I'd like to at least go first! Let's see where to start, right! For starters I dyed my hair black, like you said, and I've worked out a bit more often, and I also brought you something!" Kaneki then pulls out a bag with a stuffed bunny inside, "I know it's a bit dumb, but I felt like I needed to do something. Alright, now you can hit me, just not too hard please?"
There was a lot of things Touka wanted to do to Kaneki, she really felt like beating the hell out of him, but she also felt like just punching him on the shoulder. Touka then realizes what she really wanted to do, so she instead throws her arms around him, enough to push him on the ground. Kaneki was expecting a little punch, but this was totally different coming from Touka. He then hugged her back, while noticing Touka's tears running onto his shoulder.
"Thank you, Kaneki!" Said from a crying Touka, "I like it!". Kaneki then asks, "How much do you like it?", Touka replies with, "It isn't much, but I love it already! But I don't love it as much as..." With a pause like that, Kaneki really wanted to know, so he could buy her something else, something she'll remember him for. "As much as what?" Touka then answers the question with a simple, "You! Why else am I crying for?"
"Touka-chan!" Kaneki was just jaw dropped, hearing Touka refer to him, not only was he surprised, but he knew he wouldn't have to buy anything else for Touka. She then brings a question up for Kaneki, "I just need to know, are your feelings mutual?" It soon turned into an awkward silence, leaving Touka wanting to know even more about Kaneki's feelings.
Kaneki then hugs Touka even tighter and says, "Yes, my feelings mutual to yours. Maybe a little bit more!". Raising her head, Touka looks at Kaneki with a smile, one that no one has seen in a long time. "Kaneki, I love you!", with that, Kaneki makes an even brighter smile, "I love you to! I like your smile, it suits you well." Touka thanking Kaneki, they both bring themselves closer, and kissed. They were both surprised the others lips were softer than expected. After the kiss, Touka then tells Kaneki, "But leave me again and I'll seriously kill you!" Just what Kaneki was expecting from Touka, he replies simply saying, "I won't! For sure this time!" Then they both caress each other again.
Kaneki and Touka unknown to their surroundings, Nishiki and Yoshimura eavesdrop behind the stairs, "Holy shit!" Whispered Nishiki, "They both just confessed!". With a confused face, Yoshimura looks at Nishiki having to hear the unexpected, "Nishiki, do you like them as a couple?" Nishiki realizing he hadn't just said what was in his mind, he slightly blushes saying, "I-It was a thought I had. Yes, I can be a dick to Touka, but it's something about them that sort of cute... Please don't say this to anyone?" Yoshimura puts two fingers together at one side of his lip, goes across to the other side of the lip, then drops his hands meaning that Nishiki's secret is safe with him.
