I tried to get up.

Fuck, I cursed silently as a pain shot up my back. I looked around. I tried to remember what happened. The war ended, I met him, I was shot. Oh right, I was shot.

I'm…dead?

"You're awake." A particularly worried and cold tone came ringing in my ear. I looked up but all I could see was darkness.

"Kaneki?" I asked realizing how hoarse my voice sounded. I could hear footsteps walking towards me. I looked up again to see nothing. I tried blinking my eyes several times but nothing worked.

"Your eye was injured, it needs a bit time to heal, it's wrapped in bandages." He told me. My face furrowed. I hated not knowing what was happening. I placed my hand on the soft mattress and tried to balance myself as the pain continued. I felt a cold hand behind my back tried to put me back,

"Hide, you're hurt, you're in no condition to get up." He hissed. Everything hurt, it felt as if I couldn't breathe.

"Where am i?" I asked.

"My place."

"Details."

"You're at an apartment."

"Your old one?"

"No."

"So a new one?"

"Hide, does it matter where you are?" he hissed, getting annoyed. I laughed then yelped, startled by the sudden shock coming from my stomach. Kaneki was by my side in the matter of seconds.

"What happened?" he asked worried.

"I'm fine." I whimpered. I could just imagine the disapproving look he had. I heard him walk away.

"Kaneki?" I called out, worried. Is he leaving?

No reply.

I called out his name again.

No reply.

Damn it! What do I do now? I cursed under my breath and tried to reach the ground. It felt as if needles were piercing every nerve in my body. I barely moved a couple inches away from my current spot before I was panting and out of breath. I needed to find him.

I carefully touched my forehead and sure enough I felt the rough cotton stuck against it. I tried to find an opening but there wasn't any. I yelled in frustration finally finding the knot. I cautiously tried to undo it as my eyes adjusted to the brightness.

"Fuck!" I shouted as a sharp pain hit my left eye. I couldn't see through it and I closed it quickly to realize it was probably bruised or swollen. I finally got a good look at myself with my good eye, and it wasn't a pretty view. There was a bleeding wound near my stomach, my left ankle probably broken, layers of gnashes covering my chest and bruises covering every inch of my body.

I merely remember the bullet wound I had when Noro shot me. It seems that the bullet was taken out but it was treated roughly. I tried to remember what happened after that. I talked to Kaneki at Anteiku. I knew I was going to die right? Then how did I end up here? With all these cuts that look so fresh? I didn't fight with anybody; it was only the bullet wound. The other cuts weren't suppose to be there.

I gave a frustrated sigh. I looked around the room. It was an apartment, but a pretty broken one. About 2 rooms, a restroom and a kitchen. But there were serious cracks on the wall and the light was probably broken. It didn't seem like Kaneki's style. I looked on the brighter side of things. I'm alive, pretty dead but alive.

And Kaneki's gone.

I saw the door but it was pretty far away. I fell onto the floor with a thump. I screamed in pain and took long slow breaths. I knew I couldn't get back up so I began crawling towards the door. Apparently, now I understand how snails really feel.

10 minutes later, I was still on the floor, a huge panting mess. I crawled about 5 meters away from my bed before I collapsed. My entire body felt numb as I forced myself to get to the door.

I heard the door open as lights shone into my eyes. I blinked a couple of times before seeing a pair of khaki pants and unnatural white hair. Kaneki.

"Just what the fuck do you think you are doing?"

I seriously don't understand why I'm starting so many stories without updating any of them. Oh well, this is a new fic. HIDE X KANEKI and gosh i never noticed how beautiful they are together. There is a reasont the cover of the anime is kaneki and hide. So this is a rather interesting fic and there is a lot of drama to it so hang with me. There is a bit of amnesia and i'll try not to have too much OOC but i just cant exactly grasp at kaneki's personality hahaha. So...read. (DRAMA+ SUSPENCE) btw if you dont like yaoi or stuff like that, go away
