Hello! I'm Honey and I've been working on this little HideKane fanfiction for a little while now. It's been a while since I've written a story so please bear with me as these first couple chapters may not be the greatest. I hope you still enjoy it though!

Disclaimer for story: I do not own Tokyo Ghoul or the characters.

Warnings: Boys love, smut eventually, other warnings will come as I figure them out.

CHAPTER ONE

College was not easy, not in the least. The classes were difficult and boring, the campus was big, and the food was expensive. Now, some of these things could be changed if Hideyoshi Nagachika would simply buckle down and focus. Hide was a very distracted student. He would sit in the back of the classes and mess around on his smartphone. Sometimes he would play games and sometimes he was texting his best friend Kaneki Ken.

The only class he wasn't distracted in was Asian History. When the class first started, he would sit in the middle row, right next to Kaneki. Whenever Hideyoshi would start to slack off or would pull out his phone, Kaneki would give him a kick to the leg to get him to pay attention again. Asian History was the only class he wasn't failing.

He wasn't even failing now, even though Kaneki was no longer in the class with him. Now, Kaneki had been in an accident and in the hospital for a long time, so Hide understood why he was not in school. However, when Kaneki was released, he still did not show up for class. Hide figured that he just still wasn't feeling well enough to come to school. So everyday in Asian History, Hide would be taking two sets of notes; one for himself and one for Kaneki.

Hideyoshi would stop by Kaneki's apartment at least twice a week, wanting to give him the copy of the Asian History notes and to actually see his best friend. But every time he stopped by, Kaneki never seemed to be home. Hide would just slide whatever he brought under the door, or leave it right outside if it would not fit. He just didn't understand why Kaneki wouldn't try to contact him.

"... will be due tomorrow." The teacher's voice snapped Hide out of his thoughts. "Make sure to have the assignment on my desk as soon as you come in tomorrow. Class dismissed." Shit… What was due tomorrow? He should have been paying attention. Hide groaned, just knowing he was going to fail this literature class. If Kaneki were here he could tutor Hideyoshi.

Kaneki… Kaneki, Kaneki, Kaneki… He was always thinking about Kaneki.

Right now, he didn't want to think. Hide put on his headphones and started playing his music. Hide loved music, especially Western music, though he didn't understand any of the words. He didn't really care though, he just enjoyed the music.

Hideyoshi walked across the large campus of Kamii University, drowning out all the noise of the students milling around him. There were gaggles of girls gossiping with each other, some guys were messing around in the grass, and some were studying at tables. Hide loved to people watch, and there were plenty of interesting people at the university to see. Some students seemed like they would make good friends, but most of them thought Hide was just too energetic for them. Really his only good friends at Kamii were Kaneki, who wasn't even showing up, and Nishiki Nishio, an upper classman.

He was going to see Nishiki now. They were both part of the school's festival planning committee. They were meeting up tonight to work on posters and flyers advertising the festival. Hide wasn't a very skilled artist, so he was leaving that part of the flyers to Nishiki who was surprisingly good with art even though he was a pharmaceutical student. Nagachika would take care of the writing for the advertisements.

"Yo, Nishiki, you in there?" Hide knocked on the door of the committee room. There was some shuffling around and the sound of aluminum cans falling. A moment later the door slid open.

"Nagachika… I wasn't expecting you for another half hour." Nishiki said. He moved aside to let his underclassman in the room. Hide immediately noticed the wastebasket full of empty coffee cans and couldn't help but chuckle. Nishiki gave him a look. "What? I haven't gotten a chance to take out the trash yet."

"Sorry, I'm not judging." Hide assured. "I think it's amusing… You must really love coffee to have this many cans."

"Say another thing about it and I take you out along with the trash."

"Okay, okay! I'll stop!" Hide said with one last chortle. "Anyway, how is the art for the posters coming?"
