Hideyoshi is sitting at a table in the courtyard outside of the CCG's 20th ward branch office for his lunch break. In all, it's been a pretty uneventful day, there were no classes, so he picked up a part time shift at work. Around the office there was the usual talk, a planned raid on aogiri tree that, after what Jason did to his man, couldn't come fast enough, as well as some chatter about certain interesting ghouls. The regular mentions of several of the ones he knew were amusing. He wished he could interject a talk about rabbit with "she's actually really nice, Mado was being a dick," or chime into the rumors of the Owl with "he's like a million years old, you can probably lure him out with VHSes of Matlock in a line like E.T with Reese's pieces." It was the most difficult thing in the world to hear Amon talking in circles about the Eyepatch without telling him "that's him! That's the guy I regularly put my dick in!" For obvious reasons, he can't say any of this, but a man can dream.

Like most days, he was having lunch with Takizawa, who was complaining about something between bites of his food. As the blonde ate his own sandwich, he listened to his friend's bitching.

"-and Akira thinks she's tough shit because she graduated above me by one point! Now she's gunning for a promotion that should've been mine!" Seido whines.

"Is that so?" Hideyoshi asks with a mouthful of food.

"And because her dad got killed on the job I just know she's getting special treatment!" If it's possible for someone to eat angrily, Takizawa certainly would be. No ghoul has ever devoured human flesh with the same ferocity as this man ate his cup ramen. The blonde felt a buzzing in his pocket, and reaches in, taking out his phone. It says the call is from "Elderly Big Bird", why is Mr. Yoshimura calling him?

"One sec bro," he tells his coworker, before picking it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello Nagachika," the man's voice came through. "Kaneki's heat has started-"

Panicking, Hide hurried to quiet him.

"Hush! Shhhhutthefuckup! Shut up! shut all the way up!"

Both his friend and the line goes quiet, Seido is staring at him with his brows furrowed.

"Who's that?"

"Uh," the blond rushes to a convincing lie. "It's my mom. I gotta take this, later man!"

He rewraps his sandwich and tosses it into his backpack, then gets up and speed walks away, leaving his dismayed friend behind at the table. Once far enough, he hurriedly mutters into the phone.

"I'm so sorry sir! I'm literally right outside of the CCG building right now and they don't need to hear this, can you text me?"

"Ah, I see," the ghoul responds. "No worries, one moment."

The call ends and Hideyoshi waits for the text, sitting on the curb as the three dots show up. It took quite some time before the text is sent.

Elderly big bird: KANEKI HAS GONE INTO HEAT THIS MORNING, HES PRODUCING MORE PHEROMONES THAN USUAL BUT IS OTHERWISE DISPLAYING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS ANY NATURAL BORN GHOUL. TOUKA AND IRIMI HAVE TAKEN HIM TO THE HOTEL. SHE SAYS HE IS IN ROOM 669

Hide: Okay, I'm glad he's alright! Is your caps lock on?

Elderly Big Bird: I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT OFF

Hide: that checks out, so I'm gonna go over to him, what's the address?

Elderly Big Bird: ITS CALLED THE ROSEHAVEN AND ITS IN THE SIXTH WARD, I DONT REMEMBER THE ADDRESS BUT THE INTERNET KNOWS

Hide: alright, thanks man!

Elderly Big Bird: TAKE CARE.

As prepared as he was, Nagachika was nervous enough that the old man and his caps lock couldn't distract him. He doesn't know if he'll be able to help in any real way, only that Ken is dealing with a shitty biological cycle that neither were fully ready for. The human took a breath, whatever would help, he would do, and at the moment what he needed to do was fuck his man. He googled the name of the hotel, and did a double take at the results. There's no way that's right. Five stars and rooms starting at a month of his salary? well damn, that's the place. The boy stands up and begins the walk home, before he can get a ride to that fancy ass hotel, he needs to get some stuff.

Hide stood on the sidewalk, looking up at the hotel. He couldn't help but feel completely out of place, the building itself was towering and clean, and here he is in cargo shorts and a backpack with a muzzle in it. The Uber here was awkward enough, his driver looked at him like she suspected he was going there to rob the place, and honestly that would probably be more believable than what he was actually here to do. The blonde rolled his shoulders back, held himself high, hoping false confidence would fool anyone into thinking he belonged here and started towards the door. He grabbed the handle and pushed, walking confidently, directly into the glass. Ah, a pull door. With his pride thoroughly dead, he steps back to open it, then goes inside.

The room smelled like roses and the walls were lined with paintings, even the people sitting in the waiting area were dressed well. The woman at the front desk looked at him unsurely.

"Hello sir, how may I help you today?"

"I'm here to visit someone," he tells her. The people in the waiting area are looking at him, and he shifts under the predatory gaze. It just occurs to him that he may be the only human in the room.

"Who are you visiting?" The employee asks.

"This guy Ken, he's in room uh, 669 right?"

The woman eyes him suspiciously, then checks through some papers, looking over one that presumably has Kaneki's information.

"What's your full name?"

"Hideyoshi Nagachika."

"...and you know about him?"

"Oh that he's-" the blonde looks around, but since he isn't sure how to say 'I know that he literally eats people' in a way that wouldn't tip off any other humans that may be here, he tries to be subtle.

"That to him I'm a snack in more ways than one? Yeah."

The employee gives a tight lipped smile as she tries not to laugh.

"669 is right, you're on his visit list so feel free to go up."

"Thanks!" The human goes to the elevator, and gives the seated ghouls one last look before getting on. They seem so peaceful, as he steps in and presses the 6 button, he can't help but wonder if his coworkers could've befriended ghouls too if they'd just see how they act outside of life or death situations. When he reached his floor, he started searching for the room. As he walked, he took in the opulence of this place. Was he supposed to change into something nicer before he got here? No one told him to so if anyone confronts him, he's going with that. The blonde reaches the room, noting the number on the door.

"Heh, nice." He knocks three times, and waits. A few moments later Touka answers, a heavy floral scent wafting over him the moment the door opens.

"Oh thank fuck," she sighs. "I'm done babysitting your boyfriend, I could hear him moaning for like fifteen minutes straight, he's your problem now."

The ghoul shoves the room key into his hand.

"Hey Touka! Thanks for getting him here."

"Make sure he doesn't get dehydrated, and don't get bitten. Or do, if you do, tell me because then Nishio owes me 10 dollars."

"You're making bets?"

"Don't worry about it, good luck with him, he's in the bathtub and his stuff is on the floor. Later!" She quickly zooms past him, leaving the human to deal with his boyfriend. He waves goodbye, then steps in, locking the door behind him and looking around, feeling poorer than every before. He kicks off his shoes before he goes any further, and doesn't let himself get distracted by the luxury of the room or the garbage bag in the middle of the floor on his way to the bathroom.

When he passes through the doorway, the rosy smell gets even stronger. Nagachika looks around, and quickly spots Kaneki in the bathtub, asleep with his arms and head resting on the ledge next to a pile of wet clothes. The human's concern grew, his boyfriend looked sick, flushed from his cheeks to his shoulders, body shaking, and breathing heavy. It was also impossible to ignore the four tentacles of his kagune curled in the bath, he had never seen them aside from the time Nishiki almost ate him, and here they seemed so relaxed.

"Ken? Babe?" He asked. No response. Hide went over to him and crouched down, running a hand through his damp hair to wake him peacefully. The half-ghoul's eyes open slowly, they were glazed over, both the human eye and the kakugan gazing unfocused at him for several seconds before his consciousness caught up with him. Ken's head shot up, and water splattered as the kagune came to life, curling and writhing beneath the surface.

"Hide! You're here!"

"Oh thank god I thought you were dead for a second! How are you doing bro? Is the heat bad?"

The brunette makes a choked sound, tensing up as pain shot through him.

"Oh," Hideyoshi cringed. "That looks bad."

One of Ken's shaking hands grabbed his shoulder.

"Hide…"

The blonde put his own hand over his, smiling softly and speaking even softer.

"I'm here, is there anything I can do?"

"Fuck me."

That catches him off guard.

"What? Already?"

"I need it. They said I'd be "excited" but that doesn't begin to cover it. I'm losing my mind, I tried to hump a car seat Hide! I'm so turned on and the cramps hurt so much and please fuck me before I can't speak," Kaneki begs. The desperation in his voice makes it clear that this isn't a joke, that there's a real problem and the solution is somehow Hide's dick.

"Alright, I've got you, let's go to the bedroom," the human agreed. his boyfriend naked, wet, and begging to be fucked isn't something he can say no to, besides, it'll help him, right?

"I… need help, I can't stand on my own." The bathtub bound boy muttered.

"I know you're suffering right now, but you're so cute," he fawned as he grabbed the half-ghoul's arms. Ken made a little noise as he slowly retracted the kagune to make it easier for his partner to maneuver him, without them taking up space, it was no problem for Hide to pull him out of the water and set him down on the floor. He looks the brunette over, drinking in the view. Water drips down his heaving chest, his body shaking, and… he's so hard already. The human swallows dryly, for now he ignores his own cock beginning to harden and looks around for a towel. He grabs one off of a convenient towel rack, and starts drying the boy's trembling body off, checking in with him when he notices his eyes starting to glaze again.

"Are you sure you want this? It's okay if you've changed your mind."

Kaneki twitches and refocuses, blinking several times.

"No! No I want this, I need this, I'm just in and out. I swear I want this."

"In and out?"

"It's… I keep getting into these… horny trances. It's like I'm drunk or something, my body takes over and I can't control it."

Hide isn't sure how he feels about that. So that's why ghouls in heat can't be trusted to give consent. He'd forgotten how unsettling it was to hear that, it was even more unsettling to see it. As he moves down with the towel, the human slows, and speaks carefully.

"I feel sort of weird about having sex with you when you're… not fully aware. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you. What if you want me to stop and can't tell me?"

"It's not like that! When it starts my body just wants to, you know… it's just my body trying to get off. I want you to keep going, I promise you're not taking advantage of me, I really trust you." The half-ghoul whimpers when the towel now drying his thigh grazes his cock.

"When I lose my mind all I can think about is how much I wish you were fucking me."

Nagachika smiles slightly.

"Are you sure? Because everything you're saying is like, my absolute scummiest fantasy."

Kaneki laughs weakly.

"I love you."

"Aww, I love you too!"

"So will you fuck me?" It's asked so innocently in that way that only Kaneki can say some lurid thing in the sweetest way.

"Well I can't not fuck you! Look at you! Let's go to the bed, I've got the stuff in my bag" The human tosses the towel to the side and grabs his boyfriend, struggling to stand up and walk out with his weight. The ghoul keeps his unsteady arms around the boy's neck, holding on and trying to put the smallest amount of weight on his legs is all he can do.

"Dude… are you boneless?"

"At this point I might be," he grumbles

"Got me a boneless ghoul!" He leans in to whisper into his ear

"Well I've got one bone i can give ya"

"I'm giving you a pass for that but only because I'm in heat."

"Understandable!"

The brunette seizes up, crying out and doubling over at a cramp. His boyfriend sinks down to the ground with him.

"Shit shit what do I do?"

"Hide," his voice is tight with pain. The human's hands hover just over him, he doesn't know what to do, he wants to help him but doesn't know how. Instead of risking making it worse, he runs ahead to the bedroom, opening the door and tossing his bag down. This room is so much nicer than what's about to take place, the red sheets and blanket would probably be stained. He rifles through the bag to grab the three things they would need, the regular stuff, condoms and lube, were tossed onto the bed stand. The one new thing, the one he was most unsure about, was the muzzle. Turning it over in his hands, he wondered if the leather would hurt when it was tightened, but knew he couldn't just decide not to use it without talking to his partner. When they made the heat plan, Kaneki was adamant about using it, he said he would only have him stay over for the heat if he could be sure he wouldn't hurt him. He ran back out to the boy, naked and in a ball on the floor.

"Ken! Everything's ready, are you okay?" He checked.

The half-ghoul looks up, and he can see that the eyes are starting to get hazy with lust. They drift down to the apparatus in his hand.

"I'm… I'm fading out. Hide, muzzle me, I bit my arm earlier, I'll bite you too."

"Okay, I've got you." The blonde sat down on the floor, then pulled Kaneki up so he could sit with his back against him, giving him full access to his head. Carefully, he held the muzzle to his face by the metal bars. His overheated body shuddered at the cold leather and steel as the human secured the straps, tightening them enough to keep it firmly in place, but not enough to hurt his boyfriend. As he made sure it was on well, he felt Ken rubbing his back against his knee, little sighs leaving his mouth as the joint pressed into the soft flesh of the kakuhou. The half-ghoul shudders with a moan, when Hide looks over his shoulder, he can see that floor beneath him is splattered with cum.

"Oh wow, didn't know you could come from that!" He exclaims, when there's no response besides more panting, he tilts Kaneki's head to see his face. The eyes are half lidded, through the bars he can see his mouth is open.

"You are so fucking sexy," he growls, and traces his thumb over the half-ghoul's cheek where the muzzle meets flesh.

"Does this feel okay?"

Rather than give a verbal answer, Kaneki twists in his hold to wrap his arms back around his shoulders and whimpers pathetically, rutting his still hard cock against Nagachika's leg. Muzzled, whining, naked and humping him desperately, he looked every bit like a dog, which really shouldn't be turning the blonde on as much as it did. Those mismatched eyes gazed up into his, pleading for more, and Hideyoshi had no choice but to give in. He summoned all of his strength to hoist the brunette over his shoulder, and carry him to the bedroom where he would have his way with him.

Inside, Hide tosses his boyfriend onto the neatly made sheets, and immediately starts disrobing, shirking the slightly damp clothing before joining the ghoul in bed. On top of Kaneki, he kisses his cheek as steel bars are keeping him away from his mouth. He moves downward to his neck, then his chest, biting down and drawing another whimper out of the ghoul, who ruts his cock back against his leg.

"You really are impatient," the human cooes.

"Hide, hide I can't wait. I need you inside me I need you to break me." The slight lucidity gives him just enough breath to spare to make it clear that he wants this, even as that ghoulish morbidity creeps its way into his lust.

"Fuck me till I bleed, Hide."

The blonde's eyes go wide, hearing those words coming from his sweet, soft, bookworm boyfriend is a trip, but damn it if it didn't go right to his dick. He sat up, then gripped Ken by the hips and flipped him onto his stomach. Their sex had never been rough, while the half-ghoul may have bled his first time, that was just because of size and inexperience. Now however, there was nothing holding them back. Hideyoshi takes one of the pillows and puts it under his partner's hips, maneuvering his heat weakened body effortlessly. He admired the sight before him, a shaking, panting, helpless creature presenting himself to be used.

Another cramp wracks his body, the pitiful yelp reminding Nagachika to get on with it. He grabs the bottle of lube from the bed stand, and pops the cap, pouring the gel on two fingers, then rubbing them together.

"I'm gonna start prepping you," he warned. Though he knew that his boyfriend probably wouldn't respond, it still made him uneasy, but went on like he was told to. He started like he always did, one finger first, but found that it would be easier than he thought. Since the heat forced all of Kaneki's muscles to relax, the first finger went in without any difficulty, and so did the second. The brunette keened, pushing his ass back, seeking any more sensation as a third finger was added, finally forcing a stretch. Hideyoshi curled them down, finding the prostate with ease and drawing out a shuddering moan from the boy under him.

"God, hide, I can't wait, it's okay if it hurts just fuck me!" He cries out, voice high with wanton need.

The human knows that it's the heat talking, but can't argue that a bad stretch may not hurt as bad as the cramps do. And fuck, he can't resist, even if this is probably a bad idea.

"Just tell me if you need me to stop, you sexy, sexy idiot."

He slips on a condom and tosses the wrapper to the floor, then spreads more lube on his cock. Upright on his knees, hands on his partner's hips, Hide pushes himself inside, growling in pleasure. The ghoul cries out, and paints the sheets beneath him from the penetration alone. Every nerve in his body is too sensitive, even after cumming twice, he's still too horny to think and craving more. After giving him a few moments to adjust and come down from the orgasm, the blonde starts thrusting, the steady pace forcing Kaneki to drop his head into the pillow and hold on to it, bracing himself with every intrusion of his partner's massive cock. A steady stream of moans and gasps leaves the shaking man's mouth, but in an unexpected instinct, a monstrous growl rips from his throat.

It's nothing like any sound he's made before, he could feel it thrumming in his chest as it formed, and he couldn't stop it. Keening and growling, he felt tears dripping down his face from the stimulation. The tension in his belly that had been periodically turning to sharp pains since his heat began was finally uncoiling, and as his partner sped up his thrusts, it only got better. A hand moved to his neglected cock, wrapping around it and jerking him off in time with his bucking hips. A surge of something powerful flows through him, some semblance of strength returning to allow him a single motion.

With an animal snarl, he whips around, twisting his body as if to kiss the man behind him, but with teeth bared. In the violent, mindless motion, the muzzle strikes Hide in the neck, the bars pressing into the flesh as the half-ghoul tries to bite. The human is frozen, shocked still, and taken by surprise. He didn't really believe he'd try the bite, somehow he imagined that his ghoul is different, but it's a good thing he was so insistent on the precaution. For several seconds, they remain like that, the drooling, open mouth so close but kept tame by the bars. Without more stimulation or excitement, slowly, the mindless haze in those mismatched eyes cleared itself away. The blonde could see the expressions go from awareness, to confusion, then to dread. The boy pulls his head away and pushes it back into the pillow.

"Oh my god I am so so-!"

"It's okay!"

"I tried to bi-"

"But you didn't! It's okay! See?" Hide runs two fingers over the even red marks the pressure had left behind.

"Everyone told us this would happen, it's so normal that it was part of the old man sex talk."

"I-I know it's normal, but it's horrible."

"Biology is just freaky sometimes," he plants a kiss to his partner's back.

"You didn't do anything wrong, we just had to be careful about it, and we were. It's like wearing a condom, but for teeth."

Little giggles come from the boy beneath him, and he smiles.

"There you are, are you all here?"

Kaneki could understand the question well enough.

"Yeah, I'm here, I'm lucid."

"How are you feeling?"

"So good," he whimpers. "I'm way more sensitive, and my body is weak, but it's good. I need… I need a little more."

"That's good, because I probably won't last much longer, you are so hot! I mean you're always hot, but I don't know man, the growling and the muzzle suit you."

"I kind of like it too," Ken admits sheepishly. "I do wish I could kiss you though."

"Me too, once you're out of horny murder mode I'm kissing you."

"I'd like that, so please," the ghoul pushes his ass back on Hideyoshi's cock, eliciting a gasp from him.

"Keep going"

"Okay, but not because you told me to," the blonde teases before resuming. Starting off strong with a deep thrust, the human made his partner choke on the sound in his throat. Kaneki's hips rocked, supported only by the pillow beneath it and the firm hands on either side. His skinny body trembled and thin hands grabbed at the pillow his head was on, fingertips digging into the material. Now that the abdominal pain dies down, he could really feel the stretch of his ass and the sting of the muzzle that bit into his face, but the sensations blurred together with the rest. He wanted so badly to bite the pillow for some outlet as his boyfriend's cock struck his prostate head on, but thanks to their precautions, could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Hide found himself quickly approaching his climax, and who could blame him? Ken's face is wet with tears and drool, the bed is damp with Cum and sweat, and the tight heat inside of his partner is going to send him over the edge, but not before he finishes him off first. The human slows his thrusts to keep himself from coming, penetrating the brunette at an agonizingly slow pace. Kaneki whines, a high, pathetic sound that goes deeper as another growl bubbles forth. Nagachika watches as his boyfriend's middle back gets flushed, then as RC pathways grow a deep red.

There is a single moment where Hide realizes that he forgot a very key aspect of ghoul biology.

"Oh cool-" he is cut off the kakuhou opening, and four red tentacles bursting out. The human yelps as one wraps around his arm, and another two curl around him at the waist. Unlike the rest of Ken's body, the kagune was not weakened by the heat. The red muscles around his body push him forward, forcing his cock deeper into him. The half-ghoul mewls, seemingly not in control of the appendages.

"Alright alright! Tentacles! Chill!" The human conceded. If he couldn't slow himself down, he'd just have to speed his partner up. He moves his hands from Ken's hips to his open kakuhou, and rubbed gently. The moans got louder the second he touched the organ, even more sensitive now that it's contents were swaying freely, whipping through the air or curling gently around him.

"Hide! Hide!" Kaneki keened, voice breaking as his orgasm approached. With a grunt, the human pushed his cock in as deep as he could, and pressed the kakuhou. The half-ghoul gave a trembling, lascivious moan as he came. At that, Hideyoshi let himself finish as well, grunting as he thrusted very gently through it. The cum on the pillow was almost completely clear, and with that last climax, Kaneki was finally no longer hard.

The blonde pulled out carefully, making sure there was no blood before he removed the condom and tied it off, taking a tissue from a box on the bed stand to wrap it in until he could dispose of it. Amid the heavy breaths, a new sound came from the body beneath him, something peaceful and even that vibrates through him.

Kaneki is purring!

As quickly as he can, Hide flops down in the bed beside the wrecked man and got to undoing the buckles on the back of the muzzle. It slipped off with ease, leaving behind only some red lines where it pressed into his face, and he set it aside. Ken opened his eyes, this time there was no doubt that he was present, the glaze in his them from exhaustion and pleasure rather than mindlessness. Thoroughly fucked into docility, the half-ghoul lets his boyfriend kiss him on the lips, purring contentedly. The kagune remained out, but relaxed, splayed behind him except for one tentacle that was gently wrapped around the Human's ankle.

"I didn't know you could purr, that's so cute!" Hideyoshi smiled.

"Neither did I, i feel so good," Ken whispered. "Thank you for staying with me, I feel so much better now."

"The pleasure's all mine," the blonde teased. "That sex was poggers!"

"If not for the laws of this land I would have slaughtered you for that," the ghoul laughed, his boyfriend joining in.

"Fucking a ghoul who I love is exactly how I want to die!"
