Chapter 3
'I can't believe I just did that! What the fuck is wrong with me?! That was Tatara-san for Kami-sama's sake dammit! Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!' Ayato mentally screamed at himself as straight to the roof. His movements soon became unsteady and sluggish due to exhaustion kicking in. His legs felt heavy as if there were cement blocks attached onto him and holding him down.
'Fuck! He probably has it already figured out dammit! Oh Kami! What do I do?! I won't be able to speak let alone look at him anymore without thinking of—of THAT!' At the end of that thought, he burst through the roof top door, pushing it open harshly causing the door to swing back and hit the wall hard.
Upon stepping onto the roof, he jogged over to the opposite end to the edge and gripped the railing tightly. Loud ragged gasps along with harsh coughing were heard from him as the gripped onto the worn down red rail. The ukaku user couldn't hold him up as the heavy weight on his legs caused to fall on his hands and knees.
The blue haired ghoul rested his forehead against the cool rusting railing as he took a few minutes to regain his breath. He placed a slightly shaking pale hand on his chest, directly above his heart. He could feel the rapid pace of the organ to the point where he couldn't decide if it was thumping that hard because of the embarrassing thing he did or if it was his running. He settled on both but he had a weird feeling it was more of the first option.
Feeling sweat on his forehead, he removed his hand from his chest and wiped the disgusting liquid off. When he finally regained his breath and his heartbeat was going at a normal pace he asked out loud to himself, "What the hell do I do now?"
His blue eyes were trained on the grey flooring underneath him as he asked that question but his eyes grew wide hearing another voice.
"It's obvious Ayato-kun. You just hurry up and accept the fact of what you are and who and what you need and desire~" A childish voice called out with a giggle at the end of her words.
The petite woman stood on the rusty red railing right above and to the left of the younger ghoul. A smile, wide mocking and teasing, could easily been seen by how her bandages covered her face. She bent down to gaze down at the boy as another giggle left her, "It shouldn't be too hard for you now; after all you and Tatara-san seemed to be getting along veeery well~ It made poor Kaneki-kun jealous~! It's rather adorable seeing him like that~"
Now that comment made Ayato's head snap up and stare at the small woman with wide blue eyes, "What?.. Kane– Eyepatch saw… that?!" With a groan, his head dropped down and pressed his forehead against the rail. "God fucking dammit! Now I can't look at him anymore." He moaned to himself feeling depressed about the sudden turn of events.
"Oh ho~? What was that?" Eto grinned obviously hearing what the other ghoul. "You can't even look at him anymore? Don't tell me you were watching him while he slept and while he ate and while he–" She was cut off by Ayato shout of protest and embarrassment as he lifted his head to glare at her, "WHAT?! NO! I don't! I wasn't even talking about– what the– ! God Eto! I don't watch him all the time- I mean…"
Ayato's voice trailed off his now pale face turned brilliant red as his mouth opened and closed repeatedly trying to correct himself but no sound came out. Eto giggled loudly and jumped off the railing onto the rooftop floor beside the blue haired teen. Her landing was silent. So silent that if Ayato weren't looking in her direction, he wouldn't have known that she was near him let alone beside him.
"Nothing to say to defend yourself~?" She paused a bit before adding seconds later, "Not that you can but it's still adorable to see you try to~" Her tone cheerfully annoying to Ayato as he had to watch and listen to her enjoy his pain and embarrassment.
Ayato turned his head, looking away from the female ghoul as his hands gripped tighter onto the railing that easily broke under his strength. Noting the change in the male, Eto let out a small sigh and placed a dainty but dangerous hand on the younger ghoul's shoulder and gave a small brief squeeze of reassurance. "Sorry about that Ayato-kun but if you want advice on what to do, I suggest telling them both. If it'll help I will even hold them back when a meeting is over then you can tell them."
Blue eyes shifted over to the petite ghoul and he lightly nibbled on his bottom lip before speaking up, "Really? But what if they say no or they don't believe me or something…" There was a brief flash of pain those blue orbs just from the mere thought of the two much older ghouls going against him.
A sudden laugh filling caught his attention once more and he focused on Eto once more as he felt a hand on his messy dark blue hair. Eto ruffled his hair, which caused him to scowl out of annoyance, and casually told the other in a casual tone, "You make it seem like those two don't like you. You may have not seen how they react towards you but I certainly have and they definitely do like you so they will believe you."
She paused for a second to gather her thoughts before adding, "Kaneki might be confused on some parts but he'll accept you in the end. That's what kind of person he is."
The two lapsed into a mutual comfortable silence that filled the air. Ayato soon let go of the railing and slowly stood causing Eto to remove her hand from his shoulder. The male ukaku user gave the woman a small and almost invisible smirk-like smile as a half assed attempt in saying 'thanks' in a non-verbal way.
Knowing exactly what the submissive ghoul was trying to 'say', she giggled and nodded her head, twirling around in circles a few times in elegant movements, "You're welcome Ayato-kun~"
She came to a stop a few seconds later and started skipping off in the direction of the rooftop exit/entry humming. Her humming stopped briefly along with her movements when she turned her head to look at Ayato.
"The next meeting is tomorrow two hours after lunch. I hope you'll be ready to tell them willingly because you'll have to do it in the end after all~" She spoke in a light and cheerful tone.
By the time Ayato could turn around and yell something at her, she was already gone from the roof causing him to scowl and mutter darkly to himself. "Bitch… She did that on purpose…. Fuck!"
Already inside and only a floor down from Ayato, Eto giggled hearing the loud exclamation of the crude word finding amusement in the other ukaku user's misery. "Oh well~ Not my problem~" She said happily to herself before skipping down the long and ruined hallways humming a haunting and chilling song.
