Sorry I didn't update last week...and the week before... hehe
I'm on spring break now :D

Kaneki's point of view.

I woke up slowly, confused for a while when I saw a head of blond hair until I remembered last night and blushed.

I carefully lifted the blanket off me and sat up. I looked at the clock. It was only 5:47AM. I realized- I didn't have any nightmares last night..And for which, I was glad. I certainly did not miss waking up frantic and wide-eyed. Grumbling in my mind, I cautiously threw one leg over the side of the bed, not wanting to wake Hide. I looked back to the blond to see if he was still asleep- which he was. Good...Ever so carefully, I dangled my other leg over the edge. As quietly as I could, I scrambled out of bed. I looked back again to see if Hide was still asleep. He stirred a little, his eyes flickering open slightly.

"'Morning..." he murmured softly.

"Did I wake you?" I asked. "Sorry..."

"No, you didn't wake me..." he replied. I smiled softly. "Also, some nice bedhead you got there," he commented.

"Thank you," I muttered. "I could say the same to you."

"Don't mention it!" He sat up and stuck his tongue out at me.


I had just finished taking another customer's order when Nishio walked up to me. "Heard you got a boyfriend," he snickered in my ear. I turned to face him, blushing slightly.

"And who told you that?" I hissed.

"Touka, but she wouldn't tell me who it was-" Nishio was cut off by a person walking into the room. Hide.

"Hey, Kaneki!" he greeted and walked up to me. "Oh, hey, Nishiki-senpai, you work here?" he asked in surprise.

"No, I'm just here in a work uniform making coffee and taking orders, Nagichka," the other blonde replied sarcastically. He elbowed me in the side. "So, is this your boyfriend that I've heard about?" he smirked. I glared at him. I didn't know that Hide and Nishio knew each other.

"I sure am!" Hide replied cheerfully and wrapped an arm around my waist, smiling. I blushed and pulled away, afraid people would see and start giving us weird looks.

"I never knew you rolled that way, Nagichika." He smirked. The blond shrugged.

"I didn't know I rolled that way either, but making out with a guy kinda confirmed it." I could feel my face heat up even more.

Looking for any excuse to get away, I mumbled, "Well...I'm going to go make this order..." and walked off. After finishing, I sighed, knowing that I would have to face them again. I held the cup cautiously as I made my way back into the sitting area and walked to the table where I had taken the order. I dipped my head and put the cup down by the customer. "Is there anything else I can get you?"

He shook his head and I walked off, trying to avoid Nishio. I looked ahead and saw Nishio chatting with Hide while wiping off the counter. Oh great. Just my luck. "Hey, Kaneki," he waved me over. Oh. I mentally groaned and walked over.

"Yes...?" I asked weakly, casting a disinterested glance at Nishio.

He raised his eyebrow. I got a bad feeling about this. "Who tops?" he teased and smirked.

I nearly chocked. "Wh-what?" I spluttered. Hide glared at Nishio.

"Don't make him uncomfortable," Hide snapped. Nishio shrugged and walked away. I blinked gratefully at the blonde as he smiled warmly at me. "So, when does your shift end?" he asked.

"In...seven minutes," I answered, looking at my watch.

Touka's point of view.

I was braiding Yoriko's hair when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I was almost done...After a few moments, I had finished and put in the hair tie. "There you go..." I said and slid my phone out of my pocket.

ShittyNishiki: yo touka
Me: What is it?
ShittyNishiki: kaneki is much happier than usual, what is going on
Me: He got a boyfriend.
ShittyNishiki: figures, who?
Me: Like I would tell. Lmao.
ShittyNishiki: oh wow why do i even bother

I sighed and put the phone down. Yoriko looked pleased with her braid. "Oi, thanks, Touka-chan!"

"No problem," I replied and kissed her on the cheek. I had almost forgotten about the..incident...yesterday. I didn't dwell on it too much. Nor did I want to.

"You keep on surprising me, Touka. First I find our your a ghoul, now I find out you can do hair as well!" she giggled. I rolled my eyes and threw a couch pillow at her. She huffed and threw it back. I caught it and put it back in its original spot.

I was watching the news when Kaneki and Hide came in. I sucked in a sharp breath and was suddenly very fascinated in my shoes.

"Hey, Touka-Chan!" Hide waved. I could hear Kaneki sigh.

"Hey," I greeted and looked back to the couple to see Hide was giving Kaneki a warm smile. With a very deep emotion in his eyes- love. I brushed my bangs aside, I could hear water running. Yoriko must be taking a shower. "You two don't do anything stupid," she warned them. She always warned them with that.

"We haven't done anything yet! Jeez, Touka," he sighed and rolled his eyes. Touka exhaled slowly and frowned. The two wondered back to Kaneki's room. I sighed again and turned off the TV. I would need to talk with Hide later.

~~~ (Hue, sorry I'm a lazy writer so...TIME SKIP!)

Later, when Hide was about to step outside, I slipped next to him. "I need to talk to you," I whispered in his ear. "Outside." Hide nodded and stepped outside, I followed. I closed the door behind us and we faced each other.

"Look, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but...I overheard what you and Kaneki...did before night...Uh," she began, a blush tinting the blond's face now. "and, don't do anything he's not comfortable with. One thing wrong and I will fuck you up." -And I was dead serious when I said that. If there's anything I learned, it was that you shouldn't trust anyone you just met too much.

Hide sighed and scratched the back of his neck nervously. "I wouldn't even think about doing anything that Kaneki wasn't okay with," he told me.

I nodded. "That's what I wanted to hear...Anyways, sorry to bother you...bye..."

"No, it's fine, see you around!" he called back and started to walk away. I stepped back inside, Kaneki glancing at me curiously.

"What were you two talking about?" he asked. I stiffened.

"Nothing, don't worry about it," I assured him. He shrugged.

Sorry this chapter is so short ;w; I'm really sick and I don't have any inspiration x.x
