I do not own Tokyo Ghoul

Kaneki had always been there for Touka... From when she tried to stand up...

That was embarrassing.

Touka healed and wanted to go back to her apartment. Kaneki was there. Touka gripped his hands and got up. She fell back onto the bed. Kaneki tried not to laugh. It failed.

Touka glared at him and made her way up without his help. Triumphantly, she stood up. "There."

"Oh, I'm so scared. Please don't kill me." Kaneki pretended to be a lowly slave.

"You should be scared. Come on, bakaneki. Let's go." Touka grabbed his arm left arm by accident. Kaneki cried out.

Whoops.

"Are you okay? I thought you said you would be fine. And you have a rapid healing process... " Kaneki rolled up his sleeve to look at the wound where Touka ate him. The bandages were soaking wet with blood. Quickly, he ran to the bathroom to get the bandages. He ripped of the old ones and looked at the wound. Touka hovered by him.

"Here... I'll help you. You helped me so it's only fair." Touka reached for the bandages and found some disinfect. She put the stinging stuff on and slapped on the bandages.

"You're so rough, Touka." Kaneki smiled. Then he frowned. "I really don't know why it hasn't healed yet."

"You'll be fine... Right?"

"Right."

Ever since then, it only got worse. The wound was like a spider. It crawled up Kaneki's arm. His arm was numb, useless pretty soon.

"Kaneki... We should go see Kanou. He'll know what to do..." Everybody knew about Kanou. He was a human, but he took care of sick or injured ghouls.

"No." Kaneki had been forbidden from work by Yoshiruma. He just wandered aimlessly in his apartment everyday.

"Come on. You need this. We don't know what to do!" Touka was getting desperate. She didn't want Kaneki to die...

"I'm hungry..." Kaneki said suddenly. "I'm going hunting. You can come, but you can't stop me from going."

"Fine. I'm going. Just to make sure you don't get in trouble." Touka smirked.

"Just to warn ya, I'm going for a special kind of prey today." Kaneki opened the door. "You coming?"

Kaneki and Touka wandered down a alley, pretending they were just there as lovers. In this case, they really were lovers.

Kaneki had explained everything to Touka. The special prey was ghoul. Touka had agreed to go with him, but she refused to take part in eating the ghoul.

"Go away. This is my kill." That was the ghoul they were tracking. Kaneki walked until he was in front of the ghoul. He put his hand on his head and activated his kagune. He proceeded to cut the head of the ghoul.

Touka looked away. This was the part where Kaneki would eat the ghoul. A couple minutes later, he finished walked towards her.

"I'm healing. Pretty soon my arm will be good again!" Kaneki smiled. He had rolled up his sleeve and unwrapped his bandages. His wound was healing rapidly.

"Is this why you never healed? Because we fed you human meat?"

"I'm pretty sure. Let's go home."

Kaneki walked out of the alley. Touka hurried after him and they walked home holding hands.

Touka was about to go into her apartment until Kaneki hugged her from behind. He planted a kiss on her head. "Good night."

Touka untangled herself from Kaneki's arms and turned around. She looked up at him and kissed him gently. His lips were soft. "Good night."

She went in. As she slept, all she could think about was Kaneki.

Life went on as usual for Kaneki and Touka. Kaneki's arm healed. Soon his entire left arm was able to work again.

One month later

Touka went into her apartment with a sigh. She was tired. Like always. She had stupid exams coming up and she needed help. Fast. She didn't want to fail on her worst subject: literature.

Maybe I should ask Kaneki.

The thought of seeing Kaneki again made her heart beat. She could still feel his soft lips... Touka shook her head.

I only need tutoring.

Touka stood in front of Kaneki's door. She rang the doorbell. The door opened.

"Oh... Touka. What can I do for you?" Kaneki looked confused.

Why would Touka come here?

"I need help. Can you tutor me for literature?" Touka answered his question.

"Um... Okay. Come in." Kaneki opened the door fully and let Touka in. Kaneki led her to a table. "Wait here. I'm going to get something... Did you bring your notes?"

Touka nodded. Kaneki disappeared into his room and came back out with a book. Kaneki handed it to her. "Here. It... It was... It was Minato's while he was trying to learn to read. He put some notes and highlighted some stuff... You might want to read it..."

Touka could see him struggling to talk about Minato. She couldn't blame him. Minato had been a little brother to him. And he died. Head cut off. Just like that.

Touka got up and hugged him. "It's okay. I'll take the book, but you don't need to talk about Minato if you can't."

Kaneki hugged her back. "Thanks."

They separated and they locked eyes. Kaneki moved in for a kiss, but Touka turned her face and he ended up kissing her cheek.

"Not now, bakaneki. You have to tutor me first."

"Right..." Kaneki muttered. He tutored her and took a look at her notes. He put in some of his own notes and he reviewed a book chapter with her. He gave her some questions to answer. Touka answered them, but she only got one of them correct.

"You're pretty hopeless." Kaneki admitted after he corrected the second question sheet. "You got none of them right this time."

Touka sighed. "I'm trying."

"I know you are. Come back tomorrow. I'll have something ready..." Kaneki got up and stretched. He had been tutoring her for 3 hours straight.

"Thanks." Touka got up and hugged him. She looked up and pressed her lips onto his gently. Kaneki hugged her back and kissed her back. After a while, they separated and Touka gave him a peck on the lips. She headed for the door.

"Don't forget." Kaneki called after her. "Come back tomorrow."

Touka closed the door and smirked.

I don't plan on forgetting.

Please tell me if there are any mistakes.

Chapter finished.
