The boy with a eyepatch

Being Worried

"Wait, what?" I ask. Yomo sighs, "Could you and Kaneki stay here or go home. Akki and Kaori always try to show off when you two are watching them train. They'll learn faster if you you're not there." He says.

"But.." "It's going to be fine." Kaneki places his hand on my shoulder. "Maybe it's for the best." He says. "Fine." I cross my arms and around as Yomo leaves with the kids. I shove my face in Kaneki shirt, he wraps his arms around me. "He's so cold." I say my words muffled in his shirt. "He's always been like that." Kaneki runs his fingers through my hair.

I look up at him with sad, worried eyes. "They're going to be fine." He says, he leans in and kisses me. "Stop making out," Touka says. "Where's little me?" She asks. 'Little me' is Kaori, Kaori surprisingly looks a lot like Touka, blue hair, dark colored eyes, even their sass is exactly the same.

"They're training with Yomo." I sigh. "Oh, your not going with them?" "No." I shove my face back in Kaneki's shirt. Kaneki shake his head no, ashamed in Touka for asking. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure they're going to be fine. I mean they're with Yomo, Yomo wouldn't let anything happen to them." Kaneki strokes my hair.

"This is the first time they've been without me or Kaneki." "It's fine. They're okay." Kaneki kisses my head. Touka goes back to cleaning the tables and attending to the people in the shop. "When Yomo was teaching you hand to hand combat, did you two actually fight?" Kaneki clears his throat.

"Yes but he's not going to fight little kids, they're fine [Name]." I walk to the counter and start wiping it off. 'Calm down they're going to be fine. But what if they're not what if the CCG finds them. Oh my god what if one of them gets hurt?' I start slamming my face on the counter and fall on the ground.

"[Name]! What are you doing?" Kaneki asks kneeling on the floor helping me up. "I'm going to die. I don't know anything that's happening." I stand up then put my head down on the counter. "You're hopeless." He sighs, rubbing my back.

"I can't help but be worried." I grab on his tight with both of my hands. Kaneki puts his hands on mine, "They're only going to be gone for a 30 minutes. They're fine." I clear my throat and start working again, trying to keep the kids out of my mind.

I clinch my teeth trying not to get overwhelmed. Kaneki comes up behind me and warps his arms around me, I lay my arms on his and look up at him. He lays his head on my shoulder and our white hair mixes. "I love you, [Name]." I put my fingers through his hair, "I love you too, Kaneki."

"I needed to talk to you." I look at him, "About?" Kaneki pulls me through the staff only door and looks at my straight in the eyes. "What's wrong?" I touch his cheek, he puts his hand on mine, holding my hand there. "When the kids get older, I want to Leave."

"I know, I've been thinking about it, too." I sigh. "We're different now, I have act like something I used to be. I don't like this, the kids are happy, I know that but we can train them ourselves." "I guess we could. So are we going to?" Kaneki nods his head. "Okay." I walk out of the staff area and soon later on the kids came back.

"Hey, did you three have fun?" " Yomo taught me new move and now I can pin down Akki." Yukki says excited. "No you can't." Akki pouts crossing his arms. "Yukki totally destroyed Akki." Kaori laughs as Yomo smiles, Kaneki laughs and ruffles Akki's hair.
