Isn't it natural to think that? [ he is also so terribly afraid of what he would think if he ever kissed Hide; about his taste.

He doesn't want to ever think that. ]

[He thinks about it for a moment; and honestly, no, it's not unnatural. And honestly he wouldn't want to kiss Kaneki after eating; but--]

Kind of goes both ways, doesn't it? Human food tastes really bad to ghouls, right?

But. No. It's not unnatural. But I really don't think you'd bite me or something.

This isn't about taste. [ it's about being gross, to Hide, who is human.

And it is a bit about taste, but mostly how Kaneki would react to Hide's taste. ]

Are you okay with that? That we will never kiss. [ or do anything else, really. ]

I'm patient.

[He wasn't about to say yes, he's fine with it. Because if he really was going to end up with Kaneki, there was absolutely no promise he'd not try to get close to him in a lot of ways.]

It's not like I'm expecting you to drop all your worries and be with me unconditionally or anything. Come on, this isn't one of your novels.

[ does he think this is simple? Easy? ]

You aren't thinking this through at all. It's because this isn't one of my novels that you should see how this won't go anywhere.

[ keep saying that, Ken, maybe he will listen. ]

[No, he doesn't. Because it isn't easy. How stupid was it, falling for your best friend?

But it's not being made easier by Kaneki's constant arguments and push-backs.]

I've been thinking about it for ages now, don't tell me I'm not 'thinking this through'.

The only thing in the way of us figuring this out is your disgust with yourself.

You haven't once said anything about how you actually feel; all that aside.

[ Hide, no ]

I can't tell you. You will just hold on, and that is unfair.

[ that's an answer.

He just answered. He knows. ]

...

You just told me, you big idiot.

[His hand is over his face, and he's trying his best to keep the dumb grin off it. But he's failing.

Ken, you really are funny.]

It shouldn't be me. You should like a pretty girl. With nice hair. A cute smile. Nice breasts? Instead you get this. How did that happen?

 Sometimes life doesn't take you down the path you expect. Sure, I've hit on and even dated pretty girls here and there, but.

Actual connections take time and dedication. Maybe getting punched in the face by Annie was a good thing. 

It made me think about what I had, instead of continuing to look past it.

I thought I was the romantic one here. What do we do now, Nagachika?

...As if I've got any experience with this at all.

[This is the first time he'll be asking out a Man, after all.]

First thing's first, I guess. If we're going to start dating, are you going to tell me where you live?

[He knows already, but. Hey. Did Touka tell you that after?]

You have dated more than I have.

[ and nom, touka didn't tell him ]

Alright. I didn't tell you before because I was worried.[ he will send the address, though ]

Is it going to be a secret, that we are dating?

[YOU SAID IT.]

Σ(゜ロ゜;) HA, YOU SAID IT. I'm keeping that text as proof.

[Did you expect him to be shy about it?]

Eeeeh. If you wanna keep it a secret, we can. ...

Touka might freak out. And the Big Guy will probably tease me for weeks about it--

Oh right, you still gotta' meet him.

Don't be embarrassing. I'm not sure what I want right now. I think it's for the best to take a moment, not let the excitement take over. Until we see how things are with us. Good?

 Like asking a goldfish not to swim.

But you're right. It's not like I'm gonna' announce it over the network, so don't worry about it.

...

Guess more or less I'm just glad you accepted at all.

Yeah. We're good.

I'm not saying to hide it, just - not go out of our way to tell others.

[ and now he'll be writing something seriously embarrassing and he is so glad this is text ]

Nagachika, I'm sorry sometimes I stalk you, I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I live, and I'm sorry sometimes I disappear. I just want to keep you safe. You are the most important person in my life and I don't know what I would do if I lost you. I don't know or think about love anymore. I do [ WOW how does he write this?????? ]

I love you. I just never thought about it this way because I don't think about it. You know, romance. And dating. I didn't think that I could or should, so I just put that aside. It will take a bit and I'm still very shocked, I guess. And I think if I was normal, things would have been obvious to me, before. But I love you and I can't really think about living without you. [ A PROPER CONFESSION EXCEPT IT'S TERRIBLE ]

[He's never gotten a confession before, to tell the absolute truth, and he's left staring at his phone as the long lines of text appear on his phone. He's not expecting it; not from Kaneki, not after all the fighting he had to do to even make the other realise that this was okay.

And yet, there it was, on his screen. Words that not in a hundred years he'd expect Kaneki to be writing to him.

I love you.

It's there twice. Not just once, twice.

Maybe it's not the neatest in delivery and maybe it's not the most sensible one--but. It's a confession all the same.]

[But the feeling in his chest is one that he's smart enough to recognise as his fingers grip the bright orange phone between them; and it might take him a moment to respond, but he won't leave Kaneki hanging. Not after that.]

 I'll just have to remind you, then. What it's like to think about romance and stuff, huh. I don't think I mind something like that.

Sheesh... you're the last person I'd expect a love note from, now I'm put on the spot. ...I'm happy, though. To hear you say it. And so I can say it back.

I love you, too, buddy. I don't want you to have to live without me, either. 'cause I sure as hell can't handle life without you. And that's why back home, I didn't give up looking for you. And I won't.

...But it's a good thing we have each other here.

[He'd finally gotten you back.]

Ps, be a little more subtle with your stalking, I've caught you a few times.

I don't know if it's a love note. Maybe I should have written it in the paper and called you behind the school building to give it to you. Or put it in your locker room. Anyway, let's see how I do with all of this. You will need a lot of patience, though. And good to know. At least telling you I have stalked you a couple of times didn't come out as creepy as it could have been.

Eugh, pass. If you do that, the whole school will talk about us. And we don't need that.

[Snerk.]

I've got faith in you. You're lucky it's me, the most patient guy around. [Yeah right. Patient is not a good word for Hide; but with this at least, he will be.]

Heeeeeh... you know, I think anyone else would think it creepy. And admittedly, I thought it was weird the first time I caught you. But. I used to stalk people back home, too. For the police.

Yeah, I don't want a crowd watching behind the bushes and judging us. It is creepy, I know. Annie already called me on it, too. And Touka punched the hell out of me, but I guess it wasn't just for that. What a pair we are.

[Stalker pair.]

 Heeeeh... Touka punched you? Did she punch hard?

But hey. At least we stick together in our bad habits, too.
