Chapter 32: Contact
Nimura entered Eto's room. He for once wants to stay close to her and invited himself to her room even though Eto made it clear that she do not wish to share her room with him. He sits on her bed and saw her sleeping form. She looks serene as she sleeps. Beautiful green meet beautiful red once she stirred and opened her eyes.
"What did you do again to upset Kishou?" Eto after a minute of awkward silence asked her other half. She did not care in the slightest when Furuta's warm hand cupped her cheek gently.
"Worried about your boyfriend?" Souta avoided her question and yet he is fully aware that she might have had an idea.
"Kishou is not my boyfriend, dumbass." Annoyed she sits up on her bed. "I am not sleeping with him either." She cleared up things. Her child is her priority more than anyone else.
"Ihei—" Fingers roughly tugged his hair. He winced.
"I do not care what your stupid half-sister has told you. Kishou is not my lover." She glared at her other half and pushed him off of her bed.
"…" His butt hit the cold floor; he eyed the one-eyed beauty upon straddling his hips. A shameless moan escaped his lips once she sits on his lap.
"Heh look at you" Eto gripped the back of his head a little bit roughly and scratched his cheek by accident with her fingernails. "Shameless little bastard" She whispered on his ear. A genuine laughter escaped her lips and she stood up only to go back to the comforts of her bed. "Don't ever dare to try to sleep on my bed." She warned. She throws her extra pillow on his face.
Touka was surprised of what greeted her upon opening Eto's door. It became a habit of the rabbit to check on the one-eyed owl in the middle of the night in case Eto will need something. However, she couldn't believe what she saw. Furuta is sleeping on the cold floor with nothing but a pillow. His slender body shook, the room is cold as per usual. Eto is sleeping on her bed peacefully.
"…" She immediately turned around to get the extra futon that she saw a week ago when Ken signaled her that he'll take it instead. Touka nodded and she took an unused blanket.
"Little Furuta" Kaneki gently shook the dark haired king.
"…." He mumbled incoherent words and crawled on the futon and the couple chuckled. Furuta did not even stay awake for a good three seconds after he landed on his new makeshift bed.
She can barely remember anything about her father. One thing is for sure that the cruel man did not really love her mother even if for the slightest, for him she is nothing but a warm body where he could excrete his seed. They are nothing but pawns to use. She eyed the blue sky and wondered how it feels like to live as a real human. Sometimes she is jealous of them especially when they talk about how happy their family was. Never in her entire life did she feel real happiness not even when she is with Kishou Arima.
"Hairu" Ui carefully steps closer to the pink-haired girl. It did surprise him that Hairu is also Tsuneyoshi's illegitimate child just like Kishou Arima, that girl Rize and Nimura Furuta.
"Koori!" Smiling, she stood up. Her smile is nothing but a façade that she learned as a child.
"Is everything fine?" He reluctantly asked. Nothing is fine especially when you are born in a family like the Washuu. He scolded himself internally.
"Huh? What do you mean by that, Koori?" She tilted her hair, which somewhat reminded Ui of Furuta when the younger man is confused.
"N-nothing" He sits beside her.
"Do you miss your family" Out of the blue she asked.
"Yes" Ui confirmed, he saw a brief sadness on Hairu's face before her façade of childishness covered it up.
"I cannot really remember my mother" Hairu revealed. "She when I was very young and I stayed in the garden after that." She hugged her knees and stared at the sky albeit sad.
"…" Awkward, he pats her head. "You have us" Koori mumbled.
Kishou Arima and Souta Furuta's relationship as brothers became more strained as days passed by. The half-brothers simply the complete opposite of each other although Kishou is trying his best to become the brother that Nimura never had but something inside him shatters whenever he is seeing his brother with Eto. Despite being well aware that the one-eyed owl have no feelings for the one-eyed clown, Kishou cannot simply feel happy about it. Something about Furuta's presence annoyed him at some point.
"…" Kishou is bemused when one of the Clowns sits next to him while observes the two one-eyed hybrids.
"Sou-chan never had anyone since his mother's death" Itori started, she shifted comfortably next to the White Reaper. What will you do now, puppet? Helter Skelter's owner thought to herself while observing the trio.
"…" He ignored the woman beside him.
"You killed her— You killed Souta's mother" She mumbled under her breath.
"?!" Kishou stiffened and his eyes narrowed. His full attention is now for Itori to have and she'll torment their King's brother nonstop about it. The joy of seeing the reaper fall apart whether it is physically, mentally or emotionally is something their group will never want to miss.
"You contributed to her death and Souta became what he is because of you." The busty clown refused to leave the reaper alone. Tormenting them is fun enough for anyone to ignore. Clowns after all are all observant.
