~my prince~
<chapter 6>
Anteiku is quite busy today , kaneki doesn't know why but everyone seems to simply enjoy the coffee which made kaneki smile to himself , smiling wider as he remembers a certain person .
Ken was full of energy today and more smiley and cheerful he finished early and entered the kitchen to help touka wash the dishes , she said she didn't need his help , so kaneki get out to wait by the counter , then yoshimoura came by to check like usual
" ah kaneki-kun , you finished early I see " the manager said
" yes , today was quite busy but nothing unusual "
" hm then follow me "
" yes , sir " ken said feeling nervous by now what did the manager want to talk about ?
As soon as they got to yoshimoura's office , kaneki sat down and the manager didn't
" kaneki-kun , I don't want to get into the personal details of your life but I can't help but wonder , what that you have for tsukiyama-kun ? " the manager broke the silence
" h-huh ? I don't know what you're talking about ! " this question is what kaneki didn't expect to answer ..he didn't understand the question either .
" I meant , what kind of relationship do the two of you have ? "
Oh if only he can run out of this room right now before the manager sees him blushing , but he can't do anything but answer
" w-we are friends , that's all " kaneki said
"I think touka chan warned you about him "
" she did .. but I don't know why "
" well , they used to fight when they were younger , but though kaneki-kun , choose your friends wisely , understand? "
" yes , sir "
" good "
He got out the office , checked on touka , she finished by the way , and finally his shift is about to end , he changes to his normal clothes and and leaves anteiko , thinking about what touka and the manager told him about tsukiyama , he can't think of tsuki other than the gentleman he is , which made kaneki blush at the thought of him , he doesn't Know if he should listen to them or listen to his heart , he doesn't want to a fool that chooses by heart get betrayed . Again.
I guess yoshimoura warned me , because he knew I had a thing for people who will try to kill me , thinking about rize but he can't help but smile on his own joke , sadly , he still doesn't know more about tsukiyama , he want to know more , today he didn't receive a message or call of him , he started to miss him slightly .. if not completely .
Kaneki's phone rang , its tsukiyama , he answers
" Bonjour , kaneki-kun , how are you mon cher ? "
" I'm good , how about you ?"
" I'm better just by hearing your voice ,mon amour "
This made kaneki blush
" ken , I was wondering , would you like to go on a date with me ? " and there he was waiting for an answer .
" ah well . .. sure , of course I would like to "
" okay then I will come pick you up "
" tonight ?"
" oui , unless you are busy tonight "
" no , no, I'm free tonight "
" marvelous ! , till tonight then , vous voir "
" okay , bye "
So .. we are suddenly going on a date .. . Not bad , agh I can hear touka's voice warning me , I hope everything is all right .
Kaneki came home to find a box ? On his door step , On top of it there was a note with a rose , kaneki picked it up , it was from tsukiyama , telling him this is what he is wearing on the date , he got in the apartment with the box and opened it , there was a fine black suit that fit kaneki well , he put it on and got ready for the date , then he hears a knock on the door .
" hey , kane- what is that ?? Sense when do you have this suit , where did you get it ? It looks expensive ! , dose working at anteiku gives you more money ? " hide said or asked ..
" to answer your question , I didn't buy it , I just got it for . .. A date .. " ken tried not to blush .. but he fails completely .
" you are going on a date ? And you didn't tell me ? Me ? Your best friend ? I can-" hide looked so shocked and hurt at the same time
" listen. ... I didn't tell you because.. I didn't think you would like then idea ..of .. "
" of what!? "
" of me . .dating a guy "
They ware silent for a moment , till hide started laughing and surprised kaneki
" you dating a guy ? Do you think I will get mad when I hear that ? Noo of course not , I'm mad because you didn't tell me about him , so you're staying here like a good friend and tell me everything "
This made kaneki feel much better , he was going to tell hide anyway but sense he was here already then that's okay , one less problem to worry about .
" so , you met in anteiku ?"
" yeah "
" can't you stop dating from that place "
" yeah , I guess so " kaneki laughed
" and what dose he look like ? "
" he looks like a model , tall and handsome "
" wow , that's a lucky catch , so what dose he do for living ? Is he rich ? "
" he is and he works in a company by his father "
" weird , what brings such guy to anteiku ? "
" I don't know , but he used to know touka-chan, funny she made him leave the moment he entered "
" yes ! , I should try my luck now with touka-chan , you need to introduce me well this time , okay ? "
" haha yeah yeah , I will try my best " he said thinking about how touka would react
" so the guy , what was his name ?"
" oh his name is tsukiyama shuu "
" Tsukiyama !? That rich family ? Did he ever let you see the tsukiyama company ? "
" what ? .. I never asked " kaneki said
" you need to see this then "
Hide got his phone out and googled the name for kaneki
" oh , he doesn't talk much about it though , the only time he mentioned it was when he apologized for missing a call "
" hmm quite the gentleman , don't you think ? " hide said giving kaneki a look
" yeah... hey! Stop it "
" haha , I didn't know you were into rich guys , I bet he is the one who got you the suit "
" who else , besides I didn't know I liked guys either "
" he must have liked to read then "
" how did you know ? "
" knowing you my friend , and you dated a girl who liked to read as well "
" hm oh my phone ! " kaneki's phone rang
" so mister fancypants is about to pick you up "
" don't call him that , and yes he said he would pick me up "
" okay , good luck "
" thanks hide "
" and if you feel like things get touchy , stay away of him , filthy rich guys can be as filthy as their money "
" hide ! I know he won't be like that ! "
" okay okay , call me when its over , and don't forget to spill every little detail , goodnight ! "
" goodnight , hide "
By the time hide reached the door , tsukiyama was already knocking .
" always on time " hide opened the door as he said so tsukiyama looked at him in surprise
" hi tsuki "he said smiling as he came out of the door as well .
" hello , mon cher , who is your little friend ? " kaneki can't hear the hint of jealousy in shuu's tone
" ah , hide that is tsukiyama shuu , tsuki , this is nagachika hideyoshi " kaneki introduced him
" nice to meet you , tsukiyama-san , have a nice date you two and tsukiyama-san , kaneki is my friend sense we were kids , if you break his heart I won't have any mercy on you .. see ya ! " after saying his death threat he left .
" well , nice to meet you too " shuu said
" haha I'm sorry for that , he gets defensive when its about me sometimes "
" how come ? He is just friend , non ? "
" no , he is my best friend , and he had been with me since my mother died , hide is family "
" I'm sorry for your mother , mon cher " tsukiyama came closer and hugged kaneki as he said so.
" I'm fine don't worry " kaneki smiled.
They got in to the car , they sat in silence , kaneki felt like tsukiyama was thinking so he didn't want to cut his line of thoughts .
Shuu on the other hand , was actually thinking wouldn't stay silent if this was a regular date , in a regular place , they were going to the ghoul restaurant , yes , he is going to finish this .
Flashback
At two in the morning , shuu sat on his bed , he kept thinking of the same matter ..
I know that I can't love , the only thing that attracted me to him , was his divine scent , I bet he tastes much much better , maybe ... a gourmet can fall in love with his nicest meals ...but he is still a food in the end ...
End of flashback
Shuu put his eyes on kaneki , this divine beauty shall never go to waste and get damaged my this world .. tonight is the end
They arrive and step out of the car , they entered the restaurant , shuu made an excuse to leave kaneki , he waited , in a room that looked like an office , a maid gave him a small cup of coffee , he tried to ask where might tsukiyama be , but she didn't answer , she had a mask on her face , he didn't know why .
He drank some of the coffee , it tasted a bit weird
Suddenly , the room was moving and everything was changing , he is in a new room ? The lights are blinding , he put his arm over his eyes , and new he sees a room full of a crowd , they talk and laugh like nothing is happening , he was hearing a voice of someone talking in the microphone .. he was talking about ken .
He looks around , trying not to panic , he sees ah tsukiyama
" tsukiyama-san ! " he was with two girls in both arms , and didn't pay much attention to kaneki , till he heard his name
Something started to play in tsukiyama's chest , he feels his heart beating rapidly , its like he was the one down there not kaneki , he left the girls and sat down like the others , eventually , the girls came to sit beside him .
Kaneki was so terrified now , this can't be happening , he can't believe what is happening , he got betrayed , again ..I .. I thought he was different .. I thought he loved me . ...why ? ..just why ? ..
Shuu looked at kaneki again , he didn't want to look though , he knew deep in his heart that the look kaneki would give him will shatter his heart .. then why am I doing this if this isn't what i want ? Could It be that I had changed ? I had gone soft ?
All it took for tsukiyama to realise his decision was wrong was the look on kaneki's face , he looked shocked , betrayed by the one person he loved , and his eyes can tell the pain he was bearing , he fell to his knees , putting his palms on the floor , he knew he couldn't keep it forever , tears hit the floor one by one , he didn't want to look up and let the others see him crying , but a sound of heavy foot steps made him look at the direction of it .
The guy who spoke on the microphone before introduced kaneki to his death .
As the huge beast came , he started to hear cheering , he knew these were ghouls , would cheer for something like this !
No sight of tsukiyama , he is wondering where he might be , but he focuses on what is important now , his life , that beast almost stepped on him , kaneki runs for his life , the monster following behind him , he is trying to calm himself so he can think of a plan to get out of here but its kind of hard when there was a deadly beast running after you .
Suddenly kaneki can't feel his legs , he fell down , and unable to move , what is wrong with me ?? I only drank coffee ... oh no ..
