I do not own any of the Tokyo Ghoul characters, only my imagination and my own ideas, which are pretty spectacular. Wow, I sound stuck-up. I'm not actually, but I got a massive ego boost today so yeah. Anyway, please enjoy~

Ayato usually didn't need to share text books but his psychology book had to cost too much and now he had to ask around.

"Ayato!" Touka called out. He turned around to face his sister who was holding a perfect condition psychology textbook. His eyes widened relief.

"Aneki, where'd you get that?" Ayato asked.

"A friend of mine has his classes at different times to you, so he said you could borrow it for your classes." Touka explained as she shoved the book into his hands before walking away. Ayato flicked through the book before finding the name of the kind lender.

Kaneki Ken.

Kaneki opened his textbook and flicked through the pages, it fell open to where a piece of paper was hastily shoved in. Kaneki stared at it before opening it up and reading it.

Thanks for the book, it helped a lot.

"Touka, do you get this?" Ayato asked his sister as she lounged on her bed. She leaned over his shoulder and read the question, her face contorting in confusion.

"Sorry, I don't do 'mind reader' talk." She shrugged.

Ayato groaned before banging his head on his sister's desk.

"Which question doesn't he understand?" Kaneki asked as he sat in the cafeteria with Touka.

"Um, number…thirty-one?" She stated before shoving a mouthful of lasagne into her mouth. Kaneki nodded.

Ayato flipped through the textbook and came back to question thirty-one, except there was now a massive sheet explaining the answer to him with a small note at the bottom.

Your sister said you were having trouble, I thought I could help. Sorry if I intruded.

Ayato grinned, Kaneki seemed nice.

Kaneki couldn't wait to open his textbook and see what Ayato had written, what he found was an adorable drawing of a cartoon black rabbit. Underneath it was a note:

You didn't intrude, actually do you mind explaining question ninety?

His eyes widened, he was up to question ninety already? He worked fast.

The pair went on exchanging notes like that for a whole month before Kaneki asked if they wanted to meet. Ayato had been swept up in the excitement of it all and accepted, but now he was freaked. He knew it was stupid but he still thought it: what if he walked into the library, saw him, and left?! He shook his head before resting it on his arms on the table. He heard someone sit in the chair across from him but he didn't say anything, he simply assumed that it was someone looking for a spare seat.

"Hey," Ayato didn't stir, "need help with question thirty-one?"

Ayato's eyes widened, his head shot up into the air and he laid eyes on a snow haired male older than him, his grey eyes lit up as they locked on to Ayato's blue ones.

"Kaneki?"

"Hi Ayato."

"Um…it's not question thirty-one anymore."

"Which one?"

"176?"

"I can help with that."
