It seems Kaneki might have stayed up all night reading.

This was evident when Tsukiyama walked in to find Kaneki napping on the couch. It was quite the endearing sight. Though at the same time alluring, like setting a thoroughly cooked juicy steak on a plate in front of a starving man.

Calmato!

Patience was the name of the game. Tsukiyama wouldn't be able to take one bite out of the one-eyed ghoul before waking him up. And after making that kind of mistake he doubted that Kaneki would forgive him.

The gourmet wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't throw his life away so pointlessly. There would be an opportunity someday. The older man was confident in that, it was that confidence that fueled his patience.

Tsukiyama licked his lips taking a few steps closer to the sleeping ghoul. That didn't mean it wasn't hard for him to wait for that day to come. The gourmet knelt down beside the boy on the couch considering waking him up.

Getting a taste of him at the moment might not be an option, that didn't mean there wasn't other things he could get away with. There was something Tsukiyama had been wanting try. This was as good of a time as ever to test it out.

What Kaneki doesn't know won't hurt him.

"Tres bien..." The gourmet dipped his head down. His warm breath fanned over Kaneki's thin neck, his lips hovering dangerously close to the skin. Just a quick kiss or two... That was all Tsukiyama head intended for the other ghoul.

This was more of just curiosity, nothing malicious was going through his mind.

"What are you doing, Tsukiyama-san?" Kaneki spun his head around on the pillow quickly to face Tsukiyama. The other man was surprised by this but didn't retreat. Instead he left their faces inches from each other. A small smirk found its way onto the gourmet's face.

"Excusez-moi.~" The older man sang gently. "I just thought it would be nice to give you a wake up call."

"I don't remember permitting something so creepy." Kaneki shot back lightly, Tsukiyama smirked wider. "Pervert..."

At that moment the door opened up again. Typical that the others had the worst timing, things were just starting to get interesting too. Regardless, Tsukiyama didn't pull his face back a millimeter.

"Onii-chan-..." Hinami started but froze seeing the two boys so close to one another. A bright blush started to shade her pale face then. Flustered so easily? Tsukiyama thought it was a cute sight.

"Tsukiyama! What are ya doing to Kaneki-kun?!" Banjou stomped in after Hinami angrily.

The gourmet got to his feet stepping away from the couch calmly. He put his hands up as if to plead his innocence, that smirk still etched onto his lips. Well it seems like the fun was over.

"Calmato.~" Tsukiyama hummed in French playfully. "Don't get the wrong idea... I was only asking what was on the agenda."

Kaneki's dark eyes never left Tsukiyama that day.
