Warning: Yandere Kaneki/Hide.

Note: Enjoy.

Summary: "He isn't your Kaneki anymore, Hide. He's a ghoul, a predator. You have no idea of what he has become, do you?"

Chapter One

He'd been warned.

Despite disliking him, Touka cautioned him. She seemed scared - frightened and fearful, for him. It's unlike her - unusual and uncanny, to see her afraid.

"How is Kaneki?" Touka asked, wiping the counter. "Is he well?"

"I don't know," Hide admitted, with a sigh. "He's been irritated lately."

"He isn't your Kaneki anymore, Hide. He's a ghoul, a predator. You have no idea of what he has become, do you?"

"I know what he is. He's my friend, my best friend."

"You don't, Hide. That boy you knew is gone. There are no remnants of him left."

"I know there is. I believe there is."

"I did the same thing, Hide. I knew this girl, this beautiful girl. I loved her so much, but instead I hurt her. There will be times where you'll ask yourself if you're laying beside Kaneki or a monster."

"I would never."

"You will, Hide. You'll look at him differently soon enough, just like the human I loved did."

"I am not her. I will never give up on Kaneki."

XOXO

He prepared dinner.

However, Kaneki hugged him. He began being pushed - suddenly bent over, on the kitchen countertop. He yelped loudly - cheeks flushing pink, at the suggestive position. He felt stiffness - something hard, against his bum.

"Where did you go?" Kaneki asked, kissing his neck. "You weren't home."

"I went to visit Touka and Hinami, but Hinami was napping," Hide admitted, his breath shaky. "So, Touka and I just talked."

"What did you two talk about?"

"W-We just talked about ghouls. She wanted to know how you were doing."

"What did you say?"

"I said you were fine."

"Do you really believe that?"

"Y-You know I want to. Please, Kaneki, I'm not ready yet."

"That's fine, Hide. Though, I won't wait forever for you. I've lost my patience a long time ago."

XOXO

He's thrown down.

Meanwhile, Kaneki smirked slightly. He crawled closer - on hands and knees, yanking Kaneki's belt buckle. He leaned forward - eyes drifting shut, his lips parting open. He was nervous - inexperienced and ignorant, to intimate gestures. He can't stop now - gone too far, at this point.

Eventually, Kaneki finally released. He whined and writhed - lips soiled and stained, dewy droplets dropping down. He hugged himself - heart fluttering feverishly, rhythmically thrumming away. He trembled severely - shaken up, flustered terribly.

"Can you walk?" Kaneki asked, pants up, but unzipped. "Can you, Hide?"

"I … don't know," Hide admitted, his knees bruised. "I'm … not sure."

"I thought you weren't ready yet."

"W-Was I not good?"

"You're so sweet."

"W-What do you mean?"

"You should rest now. I'll take you to bed."

XOXO

He turned over.

But, Kaneki wasn't there. He sat up - looking around, with wide eyes. He saw someone - sitting silently, utilizing their windowsill bench. He watched them - studying from afar, through dreary darkness.

Soon enough, Kaneki's features formed. He ran over - hugging Kaneki, who smiled slightly. He held on - tightening their embrace, until they were one. He sighed deeply - connecting their lips, for a chaste kiss.

"Why aren't you asleep?" Hide asked, brushing ashen locks. "Did you have a nightmare? Do you want to talk about it? If you want to, then I'm all ears."

"It's nothing new, the same one as before. You know everything already," Kaneki admitted, pale eyebrows knitting together, in frustration and fear. "I keep losing you over and over again. I can't lose you, Hide."

"You won't, Kaneki. I'm your best friend. I'm not going anywhere. I promise you."

"You're my tether, to humanity. If I lose you, I don't know what I'll do."

"It's okay, Kaneki. I'll always be here for you. That's what best friends are for."

"You're much more than that, though."

"Yeah, I am."

"You're look like the … sun. You're my light in the dark. I won't share you with anyone else."

XOXO

He ordered coffee.

As his order prepared, Touka shook her head. He sighed tiredly - rolling his eyes, dismissing her concern. He wasn't afraid - the exact opposite, about his relationship.

"You don't drink coffee," Touka said, eyebrows arching up. "Does Kaneki know you're here?"

"It's for him, not me. When my class ended early. I thought I stop by and get something," Hide shrugged, watching passers-by. "And no, Kaneki is sleeping in."

"How is Kaneki doing? Is he still … agitated, like you said before?"

"He's … fine, but tense. It's the nightmares affecting him."

"Are you sure, Hide?"

"He had one last night. He opened up to me, told me I'm his tether to humanity. I didn't know I meant that much to him."

"Of course you do, Hide. You're the only thing left of his previous life, of the life he had before becoming a ghoul. I know you miss that Kaneki, the nerdy bookworm, but he's gone and he isn't coming back."

"What are you talking about?"

"He's a ghoul, a predator. We're highly territorial creatures, especially possessive. That trait almost always breaks relationships."

"My best friend isn't possessive, just always worried about me."

"You're thinking of the old Kaneki, not who he is now."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just glad Kaneki and I got our happy ending, that we're together again. Anyway, I should get going."

XOXO

He mischievously pounced.

However, Kaneki caught him. He's held tightly - suspended midair, over the bed. He helplessly and hopelessly dangled - hips aching, from those ghoulish appendages. He whined and whimpered - hugging himself, until being lowered.

"You're home early," Kaneki scoffed, embracing him. "Are you ditching class?"

"I am not. My professor just let us out early. He had a meeting," Hide smiled, sighing happily. "So, I went to Anteiku. And I got you coffee and tasty treats for myself."

"I'd rather have you for breakfast."

"Bite me, then. I'm letting you, anywhere you please, too."

"I thought you don't like pain, though."

"Y-You'll make it feel nice, won't you?"

"Why wouldn't I, Hide?"

XOXO

He watched nervously.

Soon, Kaneki bit him. He gasped loudly - teeth delving deep, in his ring finger. He felt pain - paralyzing him, but before briefly leaving. He felt pleasure - twisted pleasure, that's mindlessly numbing.

However, Kaneki stopped. He lay still - cheeks flushed pink, lips slightly apart. He reached up - touching that eye, the luminescent one. It drifted shut - accepting him, a rare occurrence.

"W-Why?" Hide croaked, his voice wavering. "Why my ring finger? You could've chose somewhere more fleshy, like my thighs."

"I'll keep that in mind, Hide. Though, I was marking you, to ward off other ghouls," Kaneki chuckled, sliding something on, a gold diamond embedded ring, which encircled Hide's bleeding finger. "Is it to your liking?"

"Oh, my gosh! I-It's so beautiful. I-Is this a proposal? A-Are you proposing to me?"

"I'm not asking you."

"Yes!"

"Do you think I would let you say no, anyway?"

XOXO

He happily squealed.

Meanwhile, Kaneki smirked smugly. It's absolutely gorgeous - his ring, shimmering and shining. It sat proudly - on his finger, over the bite marks. It was heavy - solid gold, immensely diamond embedded.

And, Kaneki wiped teardrops. They're happy ones - from joy, not sadness. He couldn't stop - couldn't contain them, too emotional and overwhelmed.

"I love you!" Hide sniffled, rubbing his eyes. "I love you so much, Kaneki!"

"And I love you too," Kaneki snickered, pinching Hide's cheeks. "I always have. I've loved you since we met, since you befriended me."

"You're making me cry even more."

"Well, I think you look beautiful when you cry. I like your tears."
