Author's Note: Ahhh fresh start, I'm sorry for deleting my last story. I hope you enjoy this one though.
Kaneki gazed at the beautiful purple-haired waitress as she moved around taking orders from the various customers of Antieku. He knew this girl, her name is Touka Kirishima. She's a waitress at Antieku and the woman of his dreams. Why can't I ask her out on a date?, something inside Kaneki said. Little did he know, he was attracting attention from another employee of Antieku. "Eyes on the prize ey perverted Kaneki?" a voice appeared right beside him. The voice startled Kaneki causing him to pour way too much coffee into a mug making it look like an erupting volcano. He looked to his side at the speed of light to see Nishiki looking back at him.
"Shit Nishiki, you scared me." the startled boy squeaked.
"Kaneki, why are we whispering," Nishiki curiously asked "and when did you start liking Touka?"
"Do I really have to tell you?"
"Kaneki, You know I hate kids who disrespect an elder who's trying to help."
"Fine," Kaneki pulled Nishiki closer "It was when I came back to Anteiku to talk to the Manager."
"Yes, and?"
"Touka ran after me and we had a confrontation, I told her that I joined Aogiri tree to become stronger so I could protect her and the rest of Anteiku. Touka replied saying that I did it for myself because I didn't want to be left alone, and honestly that was true," Kaneki continued, "I think I blew a fuse because she started attacked me. In the end, she was pinning me on the ground terrified that she had hurt me. That face was awfully beautiful and reassuring to me, she looked like a guardian angel. After that day I couldn't stop thinking of her, she saw right through me, nobody had ever done that. So here I am now back at Antieku this time not for myself but for her."
"Interesting, I think it's healthy." Nishiki stated as he pushed his glasses farther onto his nose.
"Healthy? How do you mean?" Touka was right this guy is a sexaholic, Kaneki thought.
"You see Kaneki. as a ghoul, sometimes the only thing that keeps us from insanity is a lover. I mean, Kimi's done it for me a million times, maybe Touka can do it to you, if you know what I mean." Nishiki teased.
After hearing this, Kaneki felt all the blood in his body rush to his face causing him to blush. "That's right Kaneki. Fantasize, you and Touka taking a shower togeth-" Nishiki's statement was disrupted when Kaneki's hand collided with his cheek. The collision was loud enough for the whole ghoul infested cafe to hear. Kaneki scanned the cafe as Nishiki rubbed his red cheek. Everybody was looking at the two. Kaneki gave a glare at the purple-haired waitress, unfortunately, she was looking back with the eyes of a predator that had just seen it's prey. She maybe cute but she can be scary as shit!, was the only thought that ran through Kaneki's mind. Touka started towards Nishiki and him, when she was close enough, she grabbed both men by the cheeks and led them to the employees only area where she let go of them. Now both men were rubbing their cheeks. As Kaneki recovered from the pain his shirt's collar was grabbed by the waitress.
"Eye-patch Idiot, explain why you two were slacking off." Touka interrogated pulling Kaneki closer.
"Nishiki was teasing m-me, please l-let go!" Kaneki said as he struggled.
With that Touka let go. "Hey Nishiki it's your shift now. Get out there." Touka roared. Nishiki walked out like an angry seven year old. As Nishiki walked out a thought came to Kaneki's mind.
"U-Umm Touka are you u-upset at me?" a nervous Kaneki asked.
"That's none of your damn business you prick!" Touka barked.
"Well y-you usually just call me an idiot o-or useless, now you're words are a little more aggressive."
Kaneki went through his deepest memories. Suddenly it all came to him, it all fit like puzzle pieces now. Is it because I worried her?, Kaneki thought as he glared at Touka. "I-Is it because I w-worried you?" Kaneki nervously mirrored his thoughts. Touka suddenly stopped as this statement reached her ears. She glared at Kaneki and continued to take a deep breath to calm down.
"Yes, Kaneki it is because you worried me." Touka hated to admit.
"There's no need to worry I'm st-" Kaneki's statement was disrupted when Touka butted in.
"I know, I know you killed the 13th Ward's Jason. But behind that white-haired badass is still the bookworm Kaneki I met in an alley that night, the Kaneki that I took under my wing, the Kaneki Antieku took under it's wing," Touka continued, "I was worried that you'd forget that Kaneki and become the rabid Eyepatch ghoul that harms humans for no reason whatsoever, not even for food."
Kaneki was speechless, he'd never seen this side of Touka before. An instinct hit Kaneki at the speed of light. He put his arms around the short girl to comfort her and to his surprise, the girl parroted his actions and hugged back. Kaneki instantly felt the heat Touka was emitting. Touka's actually hugging me back!, Kaneki thought which caused him to turn red with blush. The passionate hug lasted no more than a minute before Touka backed off. The aura she gave out changed dramatically from a caring lover-like feeling to a relentless feline-like predator. "Now, get back to work lazy-ass!" Touka scolded. Without another word Kaneki left the room and went back to work, Touka never left his mind the rest of the day.
