Author's note: Hello, guys! Here is the fourteenth chapter. It's super short and it's just a cute, fluffy moment after the party. :) I wanted to upload something, because I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish the last chapter tonight, though I will do my best. Also, I will be writing a special for them, once I have it done I will post as a separate one shot story. I just wanted to let you know. :D
Another little update, I found a job and soon I will start working, I also go to college, so I'm not sure how much time I will have to write. If the updates are slow, that's the reason.
Thank you so, so much for lovely reviews, for favorites and follows! It made me so happy and motivated me to write more. Randomperson pointed out that I rushed that story just a tiny bit, which I thought I did myself and thank you for letting me know, I'm not offended at all and now I know not to make the same mistake again and thank for such a lovely review. :D Overall, I'm glad you liked this fanfiction. All of you. :D
Apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes and for characters' OOCness.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo ghoul, nor any of the characters, Sui Ishida does.

I hope you'll enjoy reading! :D

Touka's POV
They were sitting at the rooftop until it became so cold that they couldn't stand it, so they walked inside. Deciding that they've spent enough time at the party, Kaneki offered to take her home. It was past midnight and there was no way that he'll let her go alone. They exit the school building and then start walking.
'It is fine for me to hold his hand right? We are a couple now.'
Touka reached for Kaneki's hand and entwined their fingers. He turned to look at her and gave her a smile, which she returned. They were now standing in front of Touka's house.
"Thank you for tonight. And for everything."
"Thank you, Touka. I hope it wasn't a boring date, I'm not really experienced with this.", Kaneki scratched the back of his head.
"I had fun, it wasn't boring at all, so don't worry. I'm not experienced as well, so there's no problem."
He laughed a little bit.
"Well, I guess, I'll see you at school tomorrow.", he said, still smiling.
"Yeah. See you there, then."
'I feel so awkward. What should I do? Should I just turn around and go inside the house?'
Kaneki closed the small distance between them and wrapped his arms around her, planting a small his on her forehead. Touka's face heat up in an instant.
"Goodnight, Touka.", he said, as he let go of her.
"Goodnight, Kaneki.", she replied. She went to the door of her house, opening it and then, she gave him heartwarming smile, before she went in.
Kaneki's POV
He didn't even know for how long they were sitting on the rooftop. It became so cold, so suddenly, that they had to go inside. Kaneki wondered if they should stay for a while longer at the party.
"Do you want to stay a bit longer here?", he asked her.
"Not really.", she answered. "I'm not such a fan of the parties and I think I've been here long enough. If you want to stay, we can."
"Actually, I would like to leave, too. I don't know if I'll be able to get up tomorrow for school."
'That's true, I completely forgot.'
"I almost forgot that we have school tomorrow and I have work too."
"Okay, let's go then. I'll escort you home."
"Thank you.", Touka smiled at him and they went out of the school.
They were walking in silence, when he suddenly felt Touka's hand on his. He accepted it and they entwined their fingers.
'Finally. I'm so happy.'
He looked at her and smiled at her. She smiled in return. It felt so good walking with her holding hands, hugging and even being able to kiss her. Kaneki really liked it. They got to Touka's house and they were now standing in front it.
"Thank you for tonight. And for everything.", she said.
"Thank you, Touka. I hope it wasn't a boring date, I'm not really experienced with this.", Kaneki scratched the back of his head.
'Hide would probably know what to say and what to do on a date. I wish I had more experience with this, I hope I didn't screw up.'
"I had fun, it wasn't boring at all, so don't worry. I'm not experienced as well, so there's no problem.", she said it in such a happy way, that it made him feel all warm inside.
He laughed a little bit.
"Well, I guess, I'll see you at school tomorrow.", he said, still smiling.
"Yeah. See you there, then."
'Just a moment ago, she seemed happy and now she seems confused and almost like she's worried.'
Kaneki closed the small distance between them and wrapped his arms around her, planting a small his on her forehead.
'This is okay to be done now, right? We are a couple.'
"Goodnight, Touka.", he said, as he let go of her.
"Goodnight, Kaneki.", she replied.
'There, she seems relaxed again. She's really interesting.'
She went to the door of her house, she opened it and then looked over her shoulder. Touka smiled at him, like she's never smiled before and he was sure that if she didn't walk inside soon , he would die.
