SINCE I MEET YOU

KANEKI & AOGIRI

I woke up with daylight hitting my eyes, I was in my apartment, in bed, stinking of lightning, a delicious aroma made my mouth water, with the little strength I had I took a shower; after getting ready (multimedia) I went to the kitchen, then I saw it...

(imagine him with white hair)

He looked very cute in the apron, hoping not to attract attention I slipped away until I reached the table, I had to think about where I left my things last time, so I got lost somewhere.

—Ohayô, Anata wa yoku nemurimashita? (did you sleep well)
—...huh?,h...hai,etto...
He offered me a cup—hope you like it.
I received it—arigato...you didn't have to get so upset.
—It's not a bother.
—*it tastes like the one from that cafeteria*...how did I get there?
—I brought you, you fainted, I had to bring you home, demo, anata no nani ga okotta no desu ka? (what happened to you)
I sniffed the coffee—...etto...*the ghouls*(frowned)Leiko-san.
—anata desu? (who)
—...that bastard Aogiri, she took me to some kind of event, she was about to die...or so I thought until I saw her; if that guy didn't kill me, she would...or that boy "Ayato."

"Ayato was there?"

—*So if he knows them* hai... Kaneki, who was Jason?
—...
I took my chin—"Yakumo-Oomori" desu, what did you do to him?
He laughed—...
—* Ok, without a doubt it must have been serious * —I sighed—did you know that she was his wife?
Surprised—... ...iie.
—hm...then surely they told him about what you did to him, (I leaned back shaking my hand) atare rare tayôni, he wants revenge, he thinks I'll help him, demo, I'm not that clumsy...
Nervous—s-shimasu ka? (what will you do)
—...she thinks I'm leaving the country, therefore I'll have to disappear.(put the cup down) Even though I wonder...(grabbed my chin)"why would Ayato care about me?"
Surprised—n...nwhere?
—what you heard... being with her, she arrived to inform her that she should go to... "Aogiri" desu?, (I shook my hand) whatever, that dead fly left me in her "care", even though I did a better job inquisitive. He thought you would be with me like the previous time, when he found out that it wasn't like that... he just looked at me.

"...(she clenched her hands)

—ah, subet te jun ban ni? (everything in order)
—... (he reacted) huh?, Hai, etto...
—Are you sure? You look tense, I would even say that you are stressed.
—h...hai,nanimo...etto...do you remember that...you know what I am?
—hai, a ghoul, demo, and what with that?
—no one should know about us, our species is wanted...
I interrupted—from the CCG I know, onnee-chan told me about her.
—ha...etto, I'm not like any ghoul, in Anteiku and Aogiri there are several with different kaguns.
Confused—*"types of kagune"*...well, how many types of ghouls are there?
—It is...(grabbed his chin) a rare species, they are pure, ghouls by birth, there are chimeras...they are ghouls that by having different kagun parents inherit the son or daughter a part of both obtaining more power. ..then there are those who are like me, "ghoul half-bloods" or "hybrids".
—*he really knows too much* how come?
—is the product of mating a ghoul with a human, unless...the fetus dies.
Surprised—...y...your parents were...?
—Iie, my case is different, as I said, I'm not like anyone... (head down) in fact, at first I didn't even plan to be one.
—*how is that?*...gomenne, (I hugged him) it must have been difficult to stop being...an ordinary human.
—It doesn't matter anymore, I'd rather be like this than stay without being able to help.
I broke away, smiled—*it's cute* it will be fun to have a ghoul friend.
She blushed—t... tomodachi (friend)?
I nodded—hai, Akira-chan would like you too.
Confused—Akira desu?
—She is my only friend, even though she moved away.
—doko ni? (to where)
—She didn't tell me, only that it was for ryôshin work, demo, it'll be fine, he doesn't give up so easily in the face of adversity, it's one of our great differences.
—by the way, onnii-chan to ryôshin desu? (and your parents and siblings)
Serious—...has the mail arrived?

—hai,demo,watashi wa...shiranai desu.
I took the envelopes—...garakuta, (trash)garakuta, garakuta,garakuta,garakuta...(sarcastic)hey!...garakuta.(I threw them away)
Surprised—eh, anata wa sore? (what do you think you're doing)!
—Isn't it obvious?, I discard what bothers me.
Nervous—d-demo...
—They're just propaganda, offers or newsletters from schools I don't want to go to.
—demo...onnii...
—Okay, I already answered them once, (I saw it) it's not as if the mail will fly to receive their counter-responses.
He raised an amount —...what about these?
—It's my money, onnee-chan's school documents that require my signature, bills for a credit card or I don't know, I never check them well.
He muttered —..."hogo-preparing the security of the country"...
I took the envelope from him—...don't you have things to do?
—Not today, is it from onnii-chan?
It would be—tch, yes, it's from his school...

Will you burn it?

My hands trembled—...Ore wa...shiranai...

"And if you read them?"

—*it doesn't have a sender, it could be from Osamu, demo, is it from Eiji?...I knew it was a mistake to send them my address.*...
—..."konniichiiwa onnee-chan, it seems that you moved house as you always wanted, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen them, the one that matters to me is-is it you?"
Surprised—K...leave that. (I tried to take the note from him)
Walking away, he—..."I thought you wouldn't want to know more about me after the way I left you, I still haven't forgotten our promise, and you? I thought I would manage to forget you with the distance, however... every day I think more... about you..."
Annoying—KEN GIVE ME THAT!
—..."you know?, even if it costs me the title I'll be walking around, *he... ignored me? *maybe I'll see the little woman you've become over the years, even though for me You will always be my..."
I took it from him—...(I burned it) baka...who do you think you are to read my mail without my authorization?! (I slapped him.)
—Wow, he really loves you, demo, why are you crying?
Dry my eyes—leave me alone, I appreciate your help, demo, I need to be alone.
—Only if you tell me the reason for your crying.
Annoyed—akuma(damn),(I turned my back on him)it's nothing leave me alone...I need to think.
—...
—ARE YOU DEAF?, koko kara nagai! (Get out of here)

Without letting him speak I pushed him to the door, I closed it in his face sliding through it, I hugged my legs letting all my frustration out; I couldn't stop thinking about the cards, much less about Eiji, his smile constantly invaded my subconscious increasing my pain, I went to the table throwing everything into the fire contemplating the flame rising while each leaf shuddered reducing itself to ashes, the heat dried the traces of tears leading me to nothing.
