I do not own any of the Tokyo Ghoul characters, only my own imagination and my own ideas. BTW, I have finished coming up with ideas and AUs for the story, which means that I CAN WRITE THEM ALL NOW! Dunno how many chapters there'll be lol

"Is there even such a thing as a Valentine's Day party?" Ayato grumbled, his feet slamming into the ground lazily as they continued to walk to Touka's apartment. Kaneki shrugged stiffly, keeping his eyes focused on the path that they walked on. His calm behaviour caused Ayato to groan angrily and scuff his shoes on the concrete.

"It, apparently, won't go for long, so look forward to the end." Kaneki reasoned.

"The end doesn't come fast enough." Ayato snapped.

"Glass half full, glass half empty." The boy with white hair chimed in a sing song voice. Ayato roughly banged his shoulder into Kaneki's arm before looking up at the apartment block. Please may this end quickly, he thought.

"Glad you could make it." Touka laughed as Ayato ignored her and walked straight into the room.

"Hi Touka, happy Valentine's Day." Kaneki greeted her with a smile before following Ayato into her apartment. She'd decked it out in red and pink. There were love hearts covering every available surface, except for the balcony, which, coincidentally, was where Ayato decided to hide.

"You went all out huh?" Kaneki commented as Touka led him to a chair.

"Wasn't me." Touka groaned as three people appeared behind her, bearing snacks and drinks.

"Hey Kaneki!" Hide chirped as he placed some lemonade down on the coffee table. Yoriko nodded at him politely before placing the cakes down beside the lemonade and taking the cakes Hinami was holding so she could hug Kaneki.

"Hi, I thought you would've been out hitting on poor, defenceless women." Kaneki stated as he ruffled Hinami's hair lovingly.

"And miss all this? Never." Hide scoffed as he sat down in the chair next to Kaneki's. There was a knock at the door and Hinami quickly departed to answer it. Kaneki winced as he heard a high-pitched, ecstatic squeal and turned to see Kimi hugging Hinami and Nishiki squeezing past her and making his way into the living room.

"Hello everyone, I bring gifts of joy." He said in monotone, causing Hide to snicker. Touka smirked and grabbed the bag that Nishiki was holding out.

"Okay, Twister, UNO, and Cluedo. Nice." She commented before turning to face the doors that led to the balcony.

"Ayato! Come on, we're starting the games!"

"Go fuck yourself." Ayato yelled back.

"Fine, be a pissbaby." Touka sighed, slowly turning back to everyone else.

"Let the games begin."

Kaneki glanced at the doors that led to the balcony, it was getting a bit cold. Touka had to turn on the heaters so everyone wouldn't complain, which was saying something (she just kicked people out if they complain). He felt someone poke his shoulder and turned to see Hinami gazing at him in concern.

"Are you worried about Ayato-kun?" She asked innocently, her eyes widening in concern.

"Slightly." Kaneki sighed before frowning at the doors.

"I wonder if he's cold out there." Hinami thought aloud, her mischievous eyes flitting between Kaneki and the balcony. The white-haired boy looked at her from the corner of his eye before standing, pocketing some food whilst he did.

"I'll get him shall I?"

Ayato jumped a little as he heard the door open behind him, but he quickly relaxed when he realised who it was.

"What do you want Kaneki?" He hissed before turning his back on him.

"I'm just checking up on you, making sure you haven't died from hypothermia." He commented, gently shrugging his shoulders in the process. Ayato fiercely concentrated on the shining lights that glowed from the city before sensing Kaneki come up beside him. He glanced at him from the corner of his eye, his gaze softening somewhat. Kaneki's white hair clashed against the dark night sky magnificently, his eyes gazing off into the distance. He seemed to sense Ayato's observant gaze and turned to face him.

"Why did we have to come here?" Ayato whined before flopping his head lazily over the railing. The elder smirked before nudging him.

"It's an important event; we should spend it with loved ones."

"When was I ever loved?" Ayato scoffed, his voice sounded tough and impolite but his eyes weakened miserably. Kaneki turned, tenderly leaning his back against the metal rail.

"I love you." He murmured softly, half hoping Ayato heard him.

"Hmm?" Ayato hummed, his eyes sharpening defensively. Kaneki shook his head, his white hair floating around him.

"Nothing." He sighed before pulling out a pack of pocky he'd stolen on his way out to the balcony. He held it out to Ayato and shook it.

"Here."

"What the fuck is this?"

"It's called food, some even call it sustenance Ayato." Kaneki laughed, Ayato frowned angrily and quickly took one. He positioned loosely it between his lips before mumbling an incoherent thanks. Kaneki smiled to himself before nudging Ayato's shoulder.

"What the fuck do you want?" the younger mumbled, the pocky bouncing off his bottom lip as he spoke whilst turning around to face him. It happened suddenly and without warning. Kaneki quickly leapt forward, his teeth closing over most of the pocky stick, his soft lips stopping just millimetres away from Ayato's. he lingered there for what seemed like a million years, at least to Ayato, before his teeth snapped the pocky into two pieces and he pulled away.

"I just want some pocky, that wrong?" Kaneki pouted childishly as Ayato's face turned deep red. The lighting from the lamp post increasing the hue spectacularly.

"Y-You can't just-!" Kaneki placed a finger over his lips, silencing his rage and confusion.

"Happy Valentine's Day Ayato."

Okay, this chapter is done! Onto the next~
