Touka is not the first girl Kaneki likes, but she's the first girl he loves.

AU. Touka saves Kaneki's life one night when he tries to kill himself by jumping off a bridge. What he doesn't know is that Touka desired to do the same thing. Trapped by despair, the two decide to make a terrible promise: to kill themselves together when fall arrives. But, could love be strong enough to give them a reason to keep on living? One-shot.

So Kaneki comes back, shattered, and Touka wouldn't have to do anything but open her arms and let him in once again. This is his family, this is his home. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, it was good. Touken. Spoilers from chapter 72.

You're in love with him, and he's in love with you, and it's like a goddamn tragedy, because you look at him and see the stars, and he looks at you and sees the sun. And you both think the other is just looking at the ground. - scntrx (tumblr)
