"So, what were you and shitty Nishiki talking about that made you freak out and act like an idiot for the rest the day?"
Kaneki gulped. Crap! I thought she forgot!
"H-huh? What are you t-talking about Touka-chan? I've been perfectly f-fine" Kaneki said with a less than convincing smile.
"Like hell you are. Tell me what happened or I'll beat your ass!"
Kaneki gulped.
What should I do? I can't tell Touka-chan what Nishiki said. It's way too embarrassing! I could never talk about those...things.
"U-um Touka it was really nothing. It was just Nishiki being his usual weird self"
"Then why the hell were you acting so weird if it was nothing to worry about? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"N-No Touka-chan I don't think you're an idiot at all. I just think this matter is nothing worth your time"
"Oh don't try to flatter me to get yourself out of this. Just tell what the fuck you guys were talking about!"
Kaneki was seriously distressed about this. He really just wanted it to end. It had only been a few hours since they were married and they were already fighting.
I don't want this.
Kaneki grabbed his fuming wife's hand. She tried to pull it away but his grip was firm. He took a deep breath.
"Touka-chan please. This was all because Nishiki brought up something stupid. The subject was something I'm rather apprehensive to speak about. I don't want us to fight and I don't want there to be any secrets between us so I'll tell you if you really want to know."
Touka was taken aback for a moment by her husband's honesty. Was this really that hard for him? What the hell was the subject then?Touka's face softened and she looked at her husband with kinder eyes. She decided to let it slide.
"Kaneki," her husband's face perked up and he looked into her eyes "I'm not gonna lie, it does bother me that something that shitty Nishiki told you made you so unsettled. And it bothers me that I don't know so that I could help you through it or beat his ass. But if it's something you really don't want to say, I understand and I trust you when you say it's not important. You don't have to tell me. I won't be mad. I promise." She gave his hand a squeeze and looked him right in the eye.
Kaneki felt a wave of relief rush over him. But he also felt uncertain about his thoughts. Part of him wanted to leave it like that and part of him wanted to tell his wife about the matter... He decided he would tell her.
I want her to know.
"Touka-chan?"
"Hmm?"
"About what me and and Nishiki were talking about... I'll tell you."
"Oh...okay"
Kaneki took a deep breath
"Nishiki a-asked of w-we have s-sl-slept w-with each other yet." He closed his eyes and turned away in complete embarrassment.
Oh gosh that was terrifying.
He wash scared to turn his red face around and look at Touka.
It's so quiet!
What is she thinking?
Is she disgusted at the thought?
Say something Touka-chan!
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
"Oh..."
That's all she has to say?!
Kaneki was about ready to have a mental breakdown at his wife's vagueness.
"S-so...what did you tell him?"
Kaneki's eyes shot open and he turned around and looked at his wife. To his surprise, she was looking right at him nowhere near embarrassed as he was.
At least...she appeared to be. Her cheeks were dyed a light red.
"Wh-what did I tell him?" Kaneki repeated.
"Yeah"
"W-well. I said no because we haven't... We haven't right?"
"Ah, you're right we haven't" said Touka as her cheeks turned even redder. "I-is that all?"
Kaneki was surprised by his wife's interest in the topic. He thought she would immediately shut down the conversation and proceed to beat the hell out of him and Nishiki.
"I said th-that we weren't r-ready yet?" Kaneki said as his eyes went to the side unable to look her in the face.
"Oh..." Said the female ghoul "Right...
. . . . . . . . . . . .
W-would you ever want to s-sleep w-with me?"
The poor man nearly died.
He looked at his wife. This time it was her who was extremely embarrassed. After all, she did say something really embarrassing. Her eyes were on the floor and her face was bright red. Kaneki's heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"T-Touka-chan" he managed to get out "Y-yeah I would l-like to s-sleep with you one day..." He said with much embarrassment "But of course that's only if it's okay with you! I mean if you don't want to that's totally okay with m-"
"I want to" The female ghoul said barely audible.
"H-Huh?" Kaneki asked unsure of what he thought he just heard
"I also want to sleep with you one day if that's okay. I-it's a little scary but if it's y-you then I don't mind at all" Touka's face was really red now. Her shoulders were stiff and she was grabbing her dress in her hands as she looked at the floor.
Damn it.
It's really quiet in here.
Say something you shitty half bastard!
. . . . . . . . . .
"I-is that so?" Kaneki said.
It was getting kinda hard for him to breathe. He was feeling extremely excited, embarrassed, and like crying all at the same time. "Th-then T-Touka-chan when the time is right, I h-hope that you'll have me."
This was probably the most embarrassing thing Kaneki had ever said.
"Y-Yeah. Likewise"
The two sat in silence as their thoughts raced they each thought about the sides of each other that they didn't know. They both thought of how they never realized how much they loved each other. They both thought of how strong their trust was in each other. And they both thought of when where and what the first time would be like. Their thoughts were somehow connected.
Kaneki decided to steal a glance at Touka but a second later she did the same thing. They both became surprised and looked away quickly in embarrassment. After a while, they both shyly looked at each other at the same time. This time neither looked away. Kaneki's right hand found Touka's left hand and their fingers intertwined. Neither one rejected each other but their hands were slightly trembling.
Breathing was shallow.
The atmosphere was heavy with romance. They moved closer to each other and touched their heads together. They just stared into each other's eyes. "T-Touka..."
Nothing else was said because the two ghouls were sharing a sweet kiss. This kiss was longer than the one at the wedding but it was still chaste. They pulled apart quickly, but then decided to go in again for another. This kiss was short and innocent. Touka looked up at her husband ,while blushing, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Kaneki was surprised and his free hand went to his cheek. He decided to reciprocate the action and gave Touka a kiss on the cheek. After staring at each other they both started chuckling.
"Um Touka-chan?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for marrying me. I know I've said this before, but I still can't believe you chose me. I'm extremely happy to be your husband and I want to make nothing but happy memories with you. I really really love you."
Touka stared at her husband for a second then she smiled "Geez, you're such a mushy bastard"
Kaneki chuckled "Yeah I know."
"But umm I really r-really love y-you too" After that she put her head on Kaneki's shoulder. Kaneki looked at his wife and then looked ahead.
I'm really glad I decided to tell her. We ended up getting even closer to each other.
Kaneki closed his eyes and smiled, enjoying the quiet with his wife.
Because of the hectic conversation and kisses, both Kaneki and Touka completely forgot that they were in a taxi. They had actually been at their apartment for nearly fifteen minutes. The driver had planned to tell them they were home, but when he saw the scene and felt the atmosphere, he decided to let them talk it out and take their time. As they laid with their heads together he smiled.
I'll give them five more minutes.
The car was silent. The two ghouls basked in each other's presence. They were both amazed at how deep their love for each other was. Neither of them had had much experience in the field so it was an entirely new feeling. It was kind of scary but they trusted each other with their lives so they knew it wouldn't be a problem. They knew they had a long lovely life ahead of them and wondered what kind of new experiences it would bring. Even though they were already married, there was a lot they didn't know about each other.
I want to know more.
