Finding Myself

Working Again

Nishiki looked at his watch and sighed angrily tapping his foot on the kitchen floor. "That bastard is late again!" He grumbled under his breath.
The doors to Anteiku opened, ringing the bell above the door and revealing a black haired boy. "Sorry I am late!" He called as soon as he stepped into the shop.
"You damn Kaneki!" Nishiki came out screaming, "You left me working all your shifts for days!"
Kaneki stuttered, loosing his glowing smile he had only held moments before. "I-I am sorry... I was busy..."
"WITH WHAT? Cause it wasn't work!" Nishiki barked back.
"Well... It wasn't work..." Kaneki rubbed the back of his head blushing.
Nishiki narrowed his eyes, "With what then...? Your boy toy?" His tone was mocking.
Kaneki scanned the room quickly and scurried over to a broom. "I have to get to work. Remember?"
"That's right!" The older one laughed, moving over to the counter to finish a cup of coffee.
Touka worke the register, giving a customer a frappé with a smile and a "Here you go, ma'am." "Hey, Kaneki!" She offered a hello.
"Hey, Touka." He smiled brightly at her politeness as he swept a pile of sand up off the floor and into a dust pan.
"You need to come to work more often." She sighed siting down next to him at a stool. "I have school and can't be called down to this damn shop all the time."
"I know, I know." Kaneki frowned. "I am sorry..."
"Don't be sorry..." Nishiki whacked him on the head with an order packet, "Just show up."
Kaneki gave a light smile and kept working on the floors.
After a while the quite shop was interrupted.
"KANEKI!" A very familiar voice screamed barging through the glass door.
"Hide!" Kaneki laughed as he accepted the tackling hug his best friend gave him.
"Haven't seen you in so long!" Hide clung to the other, just rub in his head up and down and sniffing the other's clothes.
"Y-you can let go now, Hide." Kaneki chuckled, patting the others back.
"O-oh!" He pulle back quickly, gripping his friend by the shoulders and bowing in apology. "I am so sorry!"
"It's fine, bro." Kaneki rubbed the other's hair playfully, making the other's hair messy. Well, messier than before.
Hide smiled a big goofy smile and say down at a free booth. "I'll take a coffee, buddy."
Kaneki smiled and wrote down his Oder and replied. "Of course, man." He walke over to the counter and gave the order to Touka.
Touka sighed but took it. Her eyes sunken from a lack of sleep.
"You okay...?" He asked her as he gave her the paper.
"Yeah..." She answered tiredly. "Just school..."
"Okay..." He frowned, moving back over to Hide while he waited for other customers.
"Soooooooo!!!" Hide dragged out his word extra enthusiasticly.
"Yes?" Kaneki asked laughing at his old friend.
"How's your.. Man?" He winked at the other across the table from him.
Kaneki blushed.
Before he gave the other a chance to say something. "You've done it haven't you?!"
"Maybe..." Kaneki looked out the window to his right.
"You sly dog!" Hide gasped loudly.
"Shut up..." Kaneki blushed a deep red.
"I will not, sir!" Hide smiled brightly.
"Shhh..." Kaneki blushed, hiding his face in his hands.
"SO! Come on..." Hide poked his friend's arm. "Give me the details..."
"No..." Kaneki mumbled from behind his hands.
"Spill!" Hide yelled hitting the other.
"Ow!" Kaneki looked up and glared. "There's nothing to tell..."
"Nothing. To tell me ass!" Hide yelled aggressively.
Kaneki looked to his side not replying.
"COME ONNNNN~!" Hide leaned over the table dragging his words out annoyingly.
Touka moved over to the table and gave Hide his coffee. "Tell him. Cause he's hurting my head worse that it already hurts..."
Kaneki looked around him, finding out the whole shop was looking over.
"Yeah, Kaneki!" Nishiki called from the kitchen. "TELL US! Have sex with him?"
Touka giggled softly but then rubbed her temples and moved back to the register.
Kaneki blushed like a cherry and ran to storage.
Everyone else died laughing. Hide died laughing, but followed.
"Oh, come on!" The boy begged still.
"Fuck of!" Kaneki said, dieing from embarrassment.
"Please..." Hide gave the other "puppy-dog eyes."
"Fine!" The other grubbed with a slight shy laugh.
"Yay!!" Hide smiled happily and hugged Kaneki.

The door bell sounded and Kaneki replied the "Goodmorning, welcome to our shop!" For about the millionth time that morning.
"Well, Goodmorning to you too." A familiar voice replied in a chuckle. Ash hair moved past the sweeping boy and to a stool at the counter.
Hide gasped and pointed soundlessly as Kaneki looked up from the floor.
"B-babe...?" He asked as he looked up quickly.
"Yes..?" Ken smirked from the stool.
Kaneki rushed over hugging him.
"So is that the other faggot...?" An older gentleman calmly asked Nishiki, who was working the register at this point.
"Yes..." He replied. "That is our other faggot."
