RIN'S P.O.V

Knowing that there's no hope of me calming down before Kaneki reaches us, after exchanging a terrified look with Yukio, I bolt from the room in any direction that leads away from Kaneki's voice, pants being ripped from my lungs whilst my pulse boosts into overdrive, preventing me from putting my damn flames out. Shit! Why now, of all times, do they have to disobey my commands?! I don't really care where I end up; as long as I flee to a place in which I can settle my heartbeat and get everything under control again. I'm not ready for Kaneki to find out. I don't ever want him to! I can't blow it now; I don't want him to push me away. I can't lose him!

Eventually, I round a corner, my eyes desperately searching for anywhere to conceal myself, soon falling upon a me-sized crevice in the wall that I should be able to curl up in for a few minutes, hopefully out of sight so that I can extinguish these dame flames! Darting into the small area, I hug my knees my my chest, trying to keep my tears from falling as I suck in steady breaths, my eyes closed so that I can soothe my racing brain. I just need to stop thinking, which shouldn't be a problem for me. So I try, allowing my mind to go blank, focusing only on my breathing to ensure that it's drawn out enough to slow my heart.

Just when I begin to feel the powerful throbbing that is created whenever my flames are free starting to ebb away, I allow myself to crack my eyes open ever so slightly, though I'm met with a sight that instantly causes my pulse to rocket again, the azure fire growing viciously around me once more.

"Rin...?" Kaneki breathes, his eyes wide with an emotion that I find myself unable to place, though his silver irises tremble with what is clearly fear as I stare up at him, my stomach crumpling into one massive knot that threatens to choke me. "Y-You're... You're a... A demon?" He croaks, that confirmation causing him to take a few steps away from me, though his gaze doesn't break from my flames, which flicker as a reflection in his eyes. He's scared of me. He's... He's scared of me.

"Kaneki-" I start, though I have no clue how to finish, gradually getting to my feet, though my knees tremble as I do, clearly weak since the thought of him abandoning me because of what I am takes possession of my mind, sending me into all kinds of panic. He has to understand why I didn't tell him. He needs to know that I'm not dangerous! Ever so gently, I reach my hand out to him, hoping that he'll take it and tell me that he understands. That he's not gonna reject me But, instead, he smacks it away from him, staggering back a little more as a harsh breath hitches in my throat, the sting of the slap racing up my arm.

"Those flames... They belong to Satan," he somewhat hisses, my heart cracking when I see something flicker through his irises for a split second, a sob choking from me. Just then, I swear I saw hatred. Out of everything we could've studied in detention, he had to look up the Blue Night. He had to read about the event that constructs the worst possible image of the powers I hold.

"Kaneki... Just... Let me explain. I-"

"-Explain what, Rin?! That you're the fucking son of Satan and you never even mentioned it?! You... You lied to me! After I told you everything about me. After I trusted you with every single secret I hold. And you were just keeping a plethora of your own this whole time," he whimpers, tears beading in his furious eyes, his kakugan flaring viciously whilst his hands curl up into fists to the point where his knuckles turn ivory.

"You think I don't know that?! I hated keeping this from you but I didn't have a choice! Because I knew you'd push me away! I knew you'd hate me and call me a monster. I never told you because I was fucking terrified!" I wail, a single tear rolling down my cheek before many more follow, tearing over my skin as my flames continue to lash at the air in a somewhat vicious manner to mirror my sorrow. I'm losing him. He... He hates me. He's gonna leave me and I'll be alone again. Whilst I stare at him, Kaneki seems to go through about a million different emotions all at once, his mouth slightly open, as if he wants to say something, whilst a couple of silver droplets leak from his eyes, the hands that he previously had clutched into fists loosening themselves, if only a little.

"Why didn't you trust me, Rin? After all we've been through... I thought you'd at least be able to trust me with something like this," he mutters, a stab of pain twisting through me as I bite down on my bottom lip, hanging my head, as if in shame. He's right. I should've trusted him. But I was so afraid. Afraid of him leaving me. Afraid that he'd hate me. I lost my friends once because they found out about what I really am. I couldn't let that happen again with the only person in my life I love more than anything.

"I... I was scared, Kaneki. I... I didn't want to lose you," I whimper, guilt instantly splintering through Kaneki's face when I finally break, collapsing to my knees with a sorrowful sob, my cheeks completely sodden with tears as I choke out breaths, unable to even try and hold them back any more. "I'm sorry. I-I should've told you. I'm sorry," I cry, gritting my teeth to try and prevent more weeps from audibly sounding, my entire body shuddering with petrified wails of despair, ones that constantly like to tear themselves from me. He's not going to listen. He's not going to care about me any more. Who'd love a lying, disgusting demon like me?

"Rin-" Kaneki starts, though he's abruptly cut off by a shattering crash that explodes through the silence that was only filled with my sobs, my head quickly whipping up whilst a breath of shock catches in my throat. Right behind Kaneki, a beast unlike any I've seen before hovers, multiple heads (I'm counting at least five) gradually starting to curl themselves into the building via the gasping hole they've made in the structure, the gentle purr of a snarl leaking from its throat. Until one of their gazes fixates upon Kaneki, a forked tongue whipping around in the air in front of that respectable head before it draws closer to him. And he can't see it!

"KANEKI!" I scream, pouncing to my feet and unleashing a rage of flames upon the demon before it can get anywhere near him, though Kaneki becomes quickly engulfed in the attack as well. But I don't have to panic; I won't hurt him. I'll never hurt him. With a pained shriek, the demon stumbles away from Kaneki and I, clearly losing its footing since each head is sucked from the building whilst its body tumbles to the ground from which it came. Without hesitation, I instantly dart over to Kaneki, who's crumpled to his knees, his fist clutched over his heart. No... Please tell me I didn't hurt him. I... I can't have hurt him!

"It's not hot," he suddenly whispers, though I don't hear him, a frown knitting onto my eyebrows whilst contradicting tears race from my eyes. I don't even know if he'll let me touch him after what he found out. And this lack of understanding is killing me. I need to get closer, to comfort him and beg to be forgiven. But I don't want to be pushed away. "Your flames... They're not hot," he says a little louder, his silver irises flickering up from the single spot they were previously fixed with, a crooked smile on his lips whilst a crystal-like bead slips over his skin.

Before I can even react, he throws his arms around me, a gasp catching in my throat as the warmth of his embrace coats me, a soft whimper echoing from me. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have freaked out like that. I know what it's like to keep secrets. I know what it's like to be so scared of losing the people you love because of what you are. I'm sorry, Rin," he sobs, clutching me tighter as I finally curl into his hug, burying my features into his collarbone as I start to wail cries of relief, my fingers latching onto his blazer.

After finally realizing how much of a monster I am. After figuring out that I've been lying to him this entire time. After knowing that I'm the son of a demon who killed hundreds of people that didn't deserve to die, he's still willing to accept me. To forgive me for never telling him. To actually hold me and apologize.

"We're two pretty fucked up guys aren't we?" I breathe with a small chuckle, my lips plucking into a smirk against his neck before I proceed to nip lightly at it, Kaneki's grip on me getting a little tighter whilst a whine leaks from him, only encouraging me to nibble more frequently. As I do, I feel my tail gradually slipping loose from around my thigh, weaving its way out of my pants so that it can curl around me, as if curious of Kaneki since I've never allowed myself to expose this specific feature to him before.

When he feels it brush against the back of his hand, Kaneki sucks in a startled breath, leaping a good few inches in the air as he jolts away from me, eyes wide with a fear that quickly develops into confusion, a small laugh leaking from my lungs as my tail twitches by my side, Kaneki's gaze instantly locking with it.

"I KNEW I SAW A TAIL!" He exclaims all of a sudden, my mind unable to recall what he's talking about until I remember the first morning I spent in his apartment when he idiotically walked in on me butt-naked in the bathroom! Upon uncovering that memory, my cheeks go extremely red whilst a pissed-off pout riddles my lips, my glare burning into him more than my flames ever could. However, before I can snap at him, he gingerly reaches out, raising an eyebrow, as if asking for permission from me, before he proceeds to slip his fingers into contact with the tip of my tail, an awestruck expression quickly flitting into the flecks of his irises the second he does.

***WARNING: SMUT(?) STARTS HERE***

And, whilst he's busy marveling over the appendage he didn't even know existed, I'm doing everything in my power to hold in a moan, a jolt of pleasure spiking through me every single time he runs his fingertips over the small tuft of ebony fur. I always knew my tail was the most sensitive part of my body, save for the obvious, but I never expected to have this reaction at all, my grip on Kaneki's clothing getting tighter when he dares to run his touch further up the appendage. I can't help it. Opening my mouth only a fraction, a whimper of a moan rings from my throat, Kaneki instantly freezing so that he can take in the sight of my crimson cheeks.

But that only lasts for a second.

Being the pervert he is, noticing what touching up my tail does to me, he carries on! His delicate fingers continue to trace along the fur of my spindly tail, causing those shock-waves of what I can only describe as pleasure to assault me all over, louder and more frequent moans starting to rip themselves free from me. That fucking asshole. Now is not the time to freaking turn me on! "Someone's a little sensitive," he purrs in my ear, causing me to shudder a little in his touch, a smirk crawling onto his lips before he slams them into my own, holding my torso against his whilst he just twirls my tail around in his hand, my hips flinching whenever when wraps it around a new finger.

"K-Kaneki," I stutter as soon as he lets me break for air, though he only hums once before joining our mouths together again, his tongue sliding past my lips so that it can weave with my own, our bodies literally pressed against one another's now, Kaneki managing to shift the weight so that I'm somehow beneath him, his legs curling around me so that he's able to straddle my hips. "Kaneki~!" I whine when he leans down to suckle on my Adam's apple, a moan leaking from me yet again when I feel blood cluster to where his lips are placed, probably creating another freaking love bite. We just got attacked by a demon yet he's still determined to make out with me.

However, I'm snapped out of thought when I feel his one of his hands, being the one that's constantly fiddling with my tail to beckon whines, whimpers and moans of pleasure from me, starting to creep its way to where my tail meets with my body, his fingers tracing around the base of it before they allow themselves to cup my ass, a surprised squeak catching in my throat. And, though I expect that to stop him, he works his hand around until it lightly brushes against my hardened member, a whine leaking from me as I grip Kaneki's shoulder tighter, my teeth clamped onto my bottom lip to hold in a moan.

"Don't be like that, Rin. C'mon. You can make noise if you want to," he whispers flirtatiously, using his lips to pry my one out of the hold of my teeth, causing me to inwardly curse him when a low and soft whine tears itself from me, Kaneki's mouth tugging into a satisfied smile before he takes possession of my own again. I can only guess he's trying to distract me from the way that he's starting to slowly curl his hand around my member, gradually motioning it up and down whilst he pushes his erection against me. Has he forgotten about my fucking brother being in the same building?! However, with the way that he refuses to break his lips from mine, I'm pretty sure that's the least of his worries, his hand beginning to pump my cock faster until a loud moan, louder than most, rips out of my lungs, my hips rocking upwards a little.

"Kaneki... I-I'm... I'm gonna-" Before I'm able to finish, I feel myself cum with a harsh cry, the warm liquid seeping onto the skin under my clothes, though I'm pretty fucking sure that it's managed to leak through them too, a sweat running over my skin to mirror the heat that's pulsing through my blood. "You ass," I breathe, Kaneki chuckling lightly as he traces his lips down to meet with the left side of my collarbone, sucking at the skin, though it's much softer this time as opposed to how he was acting earlier. "Was it really necessary to wank me off?" I hiss, this time causing Kaneki to burst into laughter when he meets my glare, peppering a light kiss on the tip of my nose before smiling sweetly.

"Sorry?" He squeaks with a giggle, a playful glower forming across my features as I gently push him off of me, his body rolling onto the ground next to me with an adorable laugh that I can't help but find cute. This time, I pin him under me, his silver eyes staring up at mine as I straddle him, as if in victory.

"No you're not," I chuckle, Kaneki biting down on his lip a little before cupping the back of my neck in his palm, pulling me down to meet his lips, the smile that I have tickling my features pressing against his. Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time? Because now I need a new change of clothes because of this asshole. But holy hell he knows how to make that feel good.

"Alright... Maybe not," he responds when we pause for breath, my forehead leaning against his whilst my chest heaves with pants, his lips pecking against my own for a quick second before he rests his skull against the ground again, just gazing at me with an indescribable look. All I know is that I love it. Just as I lean down to kiss him again, the sound of footsteps causes me to scrabble off of him, both of us shooting to our feet whilst I try to hide myself behind Kaneki, Yukio soon rounding the corner the second I manage to conceal myself behind my boyfriend.

"You two. There's a demon loose in the town causing all kinds of carnage. You wouldn't happen to have seen a Hydra, would you? You know... A massive demon with multiple heads?" He hisses with a raised eyebrow, his eyes flickering towards the huge hole in the wall just right of Kaneki and I, both of us blushing bright ruby as we nervously laugh.

"Uh... Maybe?"
