"Why did I not do anything," I asked myself as I finished organizing the last bit of papers that I was assigned to fix. Just the day before Kaneki asked me out on a date but the chance was stolen from me by Rize. Well, we are still going on a date it's just he referred himself going out with Rize as a "date" while his meet up with me was referred to as just that. A "meet up." Nothing special. "Their date should be happening right now." I thought. I went to work early today because I wanted to keep my mind busy and because my one and only friend, Ite, needed some help since Rize tricked our boss into putting her work on him..
"Did Rize ask out Kaneki?" Ite asked. "How did you know?" I questioned him while placing the last piece of paper in the appropriate pile. "Because whenever you do not talk to me at work it's because of something Kaneki related. And whenever you have that look in your eyes is because someone Kaneki likes talked to him. We both know who that person is and that murderous aura coming from you tells me that Rize must have done something. I bet she asked him out. She is always up to something. Oh regigigas I just remembered that time she tried to kiss my boyfriend on the cheek. Agh, that bitch! I am the seme in my relationship so she knows how territorial I am yet she still tries shit. "Just a little peck," she said. Oh if I could I would just kill her.I would take that smart ass smile of hers and make her suffer. I just would love to drown her. Ah, that would just be so beautiful. Her thrashing in the water as I squeeze her neck tighter and tighter. Then, before she loses consciousness, just literal beat the crap out of her!" Ite's face was red hot. He is usually a peaceful guy but when someone tries to mess with his boyfriend he goes ape shit. And I mean really, really, deadly ape shit.
When he realized that he lost his cool he immediately started to blush. "Sorry, you know how it is. It's great that were the only ones in here." he said. "It's okay. It just shows how much you love him." I said, trying to reassured him. "But I am confused. She likes Hide, and he is Kaneki's best friend. Why would she date the best friend of the boy she likes?" Ite asked. "That's what I want to know. I am okay with Kaneki liking her because I know his feelings are completely one sided, but I do not like her talking to him. She is very manipulative. I hate that. The way she talks to people just lets me know that if Kaneki were to get friendly with her, his feelings would get deeper. And she is not going to return his feelings." I added. Ite nodded in agreement.
"She is very manipulative bitch," Ite said. "When she was "friends" with my boyfriend, she put all kinds of stuff in his head. Stuff like since he was transgender and I was "straight" that I would never love him. Ugh, I hate the bitch." Ite does not consider people straight or gay. He believes that people should not love someone for what they are, and what is in their pants, but love them for who they are. His boyfriend was born a boy but looks and prefers to looked upon as a girl. This has caused Ite to get into many fights throughout his life. Forever protecting the one he loved from childhood to even now. Sometimes I feel bad for him because he loved the same guy from age six to twenty one. It took fifteen years to get the one he loved to acknowledge him and to finally share the same feelings. They started going out only three months ago.
"What should we do? She's just going to hurt Kaneki. She's a monster!" Ite yelled. "Hey, at least us monsters have feelings," I said. "Oh," he said, realizing what he just said. "Sorry. Yeah, we do." He he moved the front of his short hair back to the side. I could tell that, at the roots, his hair was changing back to it's original silver and black color. He like to keep his hair dyed a blood orange shade. "Why don't you let your hair grow back out?" I asked. "Too much trouble," he replied. I remembered when I first met Ite he had long, flowing, beautiful locks that would have made any teenage girl cry. "Haaaw," Ite yawned. "Finally finished. Want to go out to the roof?" "Sure" I said as I jumped out of my seat to stretch.
I was dark out. I could tell that it was somewhere around nine pm. When we got to the middle of the building we both started to sprint then went full blown running. We got to the edge of the building we jumped. Ite and I always did this after work. Just a little free running to wash away the troublesome problems of the day. The run was cut short though because the last building we managed to jump on was covered with all sorts of building materials. "Darn. Blocked out," Ite said while taking a seat on the edge of the building, not a drop of sweat in sight. I caught up to him then sat down as well, breathing heavily. Ite is as fast as a horse. He is even faster while in water.
"Do you know what you're going to do about Rize?" he asked. "No. Not yet. If I were kill her Kaneki would be both heartbroken and suspicious," I answered. "I mean, I could always try to kill he in her sleep but…" "Yeah," he said with a slight wave of his hand. The topic was starting to make me feel antsy so I decided to get up and walk to the building materials left on the edge of the roof. "If you don't do something about her, I will," Ite said. "AHH!" I said while I jumped in shock. "Do not do that. You know your quick and silent way of moving can be pretty scary." "You can be a thousand times more scary than I am and we both know that,' he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. He was muscular here and there so the very movement made his biceps stand out more than usual.
"Leave me alone," I said. I did not want to talk to him anymore. When someone he cares about has their heart broken he can't help himself from poking in. I started to fiddle with some of the building materials that were scattered about. Moving them back and forth with the bottom of my shoe. After a few seconds of silence we both heard what sounded like a scream. It was faint, but I could still hear it. "What was that?" I asked Ite. When I turned to his face he was looking down. He seemed to be thinking very hard. Like he was about to make a very important decision. "Ite!" I yelled. He snapped out of his trance. "Autumn, kick that stuff down off the building," he said, pointing at the materials in front of me. "Why?" I asked. "Oh for the love of my life," he murmured as he moved in front of me. He stretched back his leg then, with a mighty force, kicked the materials off the building. They fell down fast. I could hear the loud crash they made as they finally reached the bottom of the building. "What was that for!" I yelled. "You will thank me later," was all he said. I knew he was not going to say any more about it so I left it at that. "Fine. Let's go home then." I said as I started back from where we came from. Ite was still standing there as I left.
Once Airi left, Ite was still left standing at the edge of the building, looking down into the darkness below. He spat down below then slowly turned around. He could see Airi in the distance, running. He knew what he just did will cause some sort of problems but he did not care at the moment. All he felt was happiness, so he laughed. He laughed so hard and so long until his sides hurt. "I guess you were a monster too," he said once he regained his composure. "I still wanted to drown you. Well at least Airi can be happy now, you damned bitch," he whispered with malice in his voice.
He caught up with Airi back inside of the building. She had already got their stuff up and was ready to leave. He immediately ran up to her and gave her a hug. "Sorry. I was feeling a bit weird up there," he said while smiling. "That's all right," Airi answered. "Now let go of me. I only want Kaneki to hold me." "Hahahaha!" he laughed. "What's so funny?" She asked, feeling a bit confused. "Nothing. You'll just get your wish very soon," he said as he let her go. "I need to go home and fill up my love tank. When I'm away from my boyfriend too long I lose my health. I'm at two points now and that's dangerously low, he whined. 'What are you? A pokemon?" she asked in a jocular tone as they walked out the door. "Maybe" he chucked. "My master needs to give me some more "training" if you catch my drift." "Oh regigigas no. Please stop," Airi said while trying not to laugh. She was completely oblivious to what just happened a few buildings down.
