Hello again my lovelies!~ Lilly here with yet another chapter of this fanfiction! I would like to thank the wonderful CrazySunsetPOP for the wonderful idea that I used in the beginning! Shout out to you! And if you guys have any requests for me, please don't be shy. I will take suggestions if they interest me enough. Also, I want some fanfiction friends that will read my stories before I post them! It would be a big help getting another person's opinion. I do have my best friend Kaoru-chan to help me out when I need it, but I want someone I don't spend 3/4ths of my time with because our opinions are pretty much the same about a lot of things! You have to be able to be available when I need you, but I won't be too needy, just want a friend that will help me out when I need it. comment below or message my account if you're up for it! I'll probably only need you like a couple times a week. To be specific on what I'll need help on, BTS because I'm working on a fic for that on wattpad, Attack On Titan and Tokyo Ghoul.
But enough talking, please enjoy the story!
As I awoke I could see the bright sunlight blinding me. I put the back of my arm over my face to cover my eyes. I went to roll over to the other side of the bed, but there was something there. I moved my arm to see what it was, and almost jumped out of the bed when I saw that it was Kaneki. I sighed deeply and sat up once my eyes had finally adjusted to the light. I took it upon myself to get out of bed and shut the blinds to keep the light out. I could see from the dim room that Kaneki had stirred in bed. his sleeping face that was next to mine just moments before was adorable. He's usually very reserved with most people. The fact that he shows his emotions to me makes me happy. I feel, well, special.
I had a little time to get ready for work, so I decided to go back to sleep. I walked back over to the bed and lay down next to the sleeping man and rolled to my side so my back was to him. I didn't really mind sleeping next to him since I did trust him so much. He saved my life twice now. However, it was kind of embarrassing since he was a man. I wasn't going to wake him up, though. Many questions popped in my head as I began to get sleepier.
(How did I end up in my room?)
I looked back at him, and smiled slightly.
(He must've carried me here and fell asleep.)
Before I knew it, I was falling asleep again. It didn't really take much time. The next time I woke up Kaneki was gone. I looked around the almost pitched black room and couldn't find him anywhere. I sat up in bed, and went to get out of bed when the door opened again. I couldn't see the face of whoever stepped inside, but the white hair was a dead giveaway.
"Oh, you're awake." he said stopping in his tracks. After a moment of hesitation, he stepped further into the room.
"Did you carry me in here?" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"Yeah, I didn't want you to sleep on the floor." his tone of voice was kind. It made my heart leap for joy in my chest.
(He was thinking about my well being..)
"I made us some breakfast." he said. My eyes widened when he said that.
"Thank you!" I stood up from my bed and rushed to his side so we could walk together. He made me an omelette filled with vegetables and two cups of coffee for the both of us. I wondered how he even got the food to make this since our trip to the grocery store went south. "How did you get the ingredients to make this?" I asked him while sitting down.
"I went to the grocery story earlier." I smiled at him.
"Thank you for this. I had no idea you could cook so well." I said.
"Well I was human not too long ago."
"Right, I forgot." I looked back down at my plate. The omelette was fluffy and cooked to perfection. I grabbed my fork that was set down next to my plate and took a bit out of the omelette. "It's delicious!"
"I'm glad you like it." he said taking a sip of his coffee. He watched me as I ate.
(It's like we're almost a couple..)
I shook my head to get the unusual thought out of my head.
"Something wrong?" he asked but I nervously answered back immediately.
"O-oh no! It's nothing." I got back to eating my omelette quickly and decided to completely ignore what I had just thought of.
(It's not like it would happen anyway.)
*Time pass*
Kaneki decided to walk me to the flower shop just in case anything happened on the way there. He had to put his medical eye patch back on. He never really wore it when he was at my apartment since I already knew he was a ghoul. I was actually kind of happy that he didn't because it made me feel like he trusted me with his secret. Of course, he kind of has to trust me since I now know about it.
I wore long sleeves to hide the cuts on my arms. Fortunately, I had none that couldn't be covered by clothing and it was a moderately chilly day. When we got to the flower shop Miki looked at the both of us and smiled.
"Oh, Yui, I didn't know you had a boyfriend!" she said, causing both of us to get flustered.
"Miki, this is Kaneki. He's a friend of mine." I said trying to turn the subject away from the word boyfriend.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Kaneki." the woman said trying to be friendly. She held out her hand for him to shake and he looked over at me. I nodded my head to tell him it was okay and he awkwardly shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you, too." he said.
"I better get ready for work. You should get going." I said. He nodded his head and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Be careful, Yui. I'll be back when your shift is over to walk you home." he said. My face turned a bit red because Miki, my best friend, was watching the whole thing. Kaneki didn't seem to care who he was near, I guess since he also knew she was there.
"Y-you, too.." I said weakly and walked over to the rack with aprons on it, grabbing mine as I got there. I disappeared into the back to put my bag into my locker and put on my apron before coming back out. Kaneki was gone and Miki was now smiling at me like a school girl.
"So, Kaneki, huh?" she asked as I started watering plants.
"Shut up, Miki. I told you that he's a friend." she set her elbows on the counter right next to the cash register and rested her chin on her palms.
"Funny, because he surely wasn't acting like a friend." she said.
"What are you getting at?" I asked her, and her smile just got bigger as she replied.
"I'm saying that he likes you. It's written all over his face!" she flung her arms into the air and flailed them around dramatically as she spoke.
"There's no way he could like me." I said as I began watering a new plant and fixing the arrangement of the flowers.
"Listen, the thing I wanted to talk to you about."
"Yeah?"
"It's about my boyfriend, Yukiya." I looked up at her.
"Did he break up with you or something?" I asked her and she immediately shook her head.
"No, he wants to take me out to an amusement park."
"That's great, Miki! Maybe this time he'll actually propose." I said chuckling a little.
"I wish, it's been three years already." she stood up straight and walked over to me. "But anyway, I want you to go with us." I shook my head at her.
"I really don't feel like being a third wheel, and I don't want to ruin your guys' fun." I said but she grabbed my shoulders.
"I want you to go with Kaneki and have fun with him. Who knows, maybe you'll end up going home with him by the end of the night and have a little more fun." she said with a mischievous look in her eyes.
(Little does she know, he already goes home with me. We just don't do the things she's hoping we'll do.)
"No way. I'm not gonna go on a date with him." I said bluntly and shook myself out of her grasp.
"Come onnn! Just ask him! If you don't, I will!" she said. I finally gave in to her request.
"Fine, fine! I'll ask him to come with me, but it's is NOT going to be a date!"
*Time pass*
Kaneki picked me up after I was finished working. We walked down the street together as we talked about our day. Well, I talked about my day. He was mostly quiet like he always was. He only really talked when we were alone. Eventually, I brought up the subject about the amusement park.
"Hey, Kaneki?" he looked down at me as we continued walking.
"Yeah?"
"Um, Miki told me about an amusement park she's going to with her boyfriend in a few days." I began. "She said she wants me to bring you and make it a group thing."
"Really? She wants us to join?" he asked and I nodded my head.
"Yeah, are you up for it?" I asked him and he nodded his head.
"Why not."
And that's how I ended up going on an unofficial double date with Kaneki, Miki and her boyfriend. Unofficial because I specifically made sure Miki knew it was not a date for me and Kaneki. And so the fun begins.
