SINCE I MEET YOU

GHOUL LIFE

We finished the normal day, leaving the building I carried Keiichii-kun, Kaneki took my left hand transmitting me security, if he didn't know that it's a job I would think that I'm too young to be a mother, I thought we would return to Anteiku for the same as yesterday, in instead we were in a family restaurant.

—What are we doing here?
Smiling—I spoke with Yoshimura-san, here you can try to control yourself, it's also the only place where we can keep the little ones.
Distressed—demo...if I don't get it?

"You will, I believe in you."

—...I'll have to learn to disguise human meat as food for this, otherwise you won't stop bringing me to places like this, because for your information: I hate them.
—mo~,nande?

"I'm not used to spending a lot of time away from home."

—You should start, when the babies grow up they will ask you to take them to play in the park or some other place, and you will not be able to deny them.
—*why don't you stop treating them as if they were real? *I know, but I won't consent to everything either.
—Well I do.
—Kaneki, if you do, one day you won't be able to control them anymore, what will you do then?, if Ayaka-chan gets pregnant, intoxicated because you let her go out alone, if Keiichii-kun becomes a criminal or gets into trouble, or worse...

»(serious) that the damn CCG finds out about them and gets caught, I don't want my children to be quinques.

"...don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?"

I crossed my arms—not at all, as parents we must worry about all the possible events that arise with them, now more because they are ghouls, the number of risks increases every second.
He hugged me—look at them, they're just babies, I don't think they cause any harm.
I looked at them—...*baka, they're robots, this is upsetting me* (I sighed) you're right, besides, I almost forgot they're androids.
He laughed—without a doubt, you are an exemplary mother.
—baka don't make fun!
—girl, girl...!
Unisono—wahhh, wahhh...!
—and...they woke up.
I sighed—"man how do you know that" (sarcastic) do you want me to applaud you or what?
—nope, I want you to calm down and eat.
—I have to feed them, I don't have time to eat... (she introduced a spoon)
—Keep it up, as long as it doesn't touch your sense of taste you'll be fine... just so you know: I wasn't kidding, it's a compliment.
I swallowed—gh, really?
—Of course, before I forget it... you must return it before it digests.
—How will I know that, in case I should time the food?

"Yes, that's what you want, unless you'd rather get sick."

I growled—*bakajaro!*...normally if I want to swim I have to wait 20 minutes, demo, that's for the procedure to finish, so...it would be approximately 10 minutes...and I've been 8, I won't be long.

"Will you leave me Keiichii?"

"Of course, he'll be fine as long as you don't come near him, I won't be long."

I knew that I would cry at any moment, so I tried to delay arriving, despite what I had to do, it was fun to make him pay for taking me out of the house; finishing up, my knuckles were sore, I took a couple of mints for bad breath and returned with He, seeing him in the window moving the cart in the form of a lullaby, I knew that he could not calm him down.

On the way back we didn't talk about anything, I could only smile at the calm around me.

—you did it on purpose.
I laughed—of course, you owed me.

"You know that now I'll have to collect it somehow, right?"

—Oh yes, and can I know how?

"You'll see, just wait."

"...it's been a long time since he had such an immature date."

—really?

"Of course, arigato."

—nande?
—for everything, for your help, for going to school...(distressed) for trying to make me see my life in a different way.
—this...
Pinching myself—I'm not dreaming, am I?...all of this is actually happening.
Worried—h...hai, demo, you don't have to get hurt.
—It's nothing, I'm just trying to confirm that I'm really awake.
He took my hand—as long as I'm with you, I assure you it won't be a dream.
—arigato, Kaneki-Ken...(surprised) what are you doing here?!

—oh, there you are (Y/n)-chan, why don't you answer our calls, what do you have there and... who is this young man?

"You haven't answered my question, father."

He sighed—we know you changed the address to receive his letters.
—heh, (sarcastic) "why am I not surprised?"
Nervous—gomenne, they discovered me.
—Shinpai shinaide, I know it wasn't your fault... (I ran my hand through my hair) Let's see... I don't answer because I don't want to, they are my children and I suppose they remember Kaneki... his father from him.
Annoying—what?!
I held up both forefingers—I'm not done yet...it's my kids and he's his father, but not really, it's a school project...
—When did it happen? You took my little girl home, we trusted you boy.
—chichi (father)!...I can't believe I'm saying this out loud, there's no other way...(between teeth) I'm a virgin.
He sighed—... good news at last... well, what is this young man doing here?
—I'll help him with some jobs,he moved to school and now I have to help him.
—What happened to your eye, why the patch?
—I had an accident with...(nervous)am... u...a...a...
He interrupted—in chemistry, sir, the ammonia accidentally splashed on you, demo, it'll be fine.
Concerned—ammonia?!
Serious—are you okay?
Anguished—*you smell delicious...my mouth melts...iie, you can't...I can't eat my family!,kuso*agh,ha...ottoo-san, it was nothing, I'll tie rare tayôni, what's wrong with wanting to receive your letters?
—...what have they written to you?
—...nothing interesting,*except for Eiji*I receive their semester grades...that they have achieved,(I sighed) well, yes, excuse me, we have work to do.
—d...demo.
I closed the door—kuso...*this can't be, I also have to get away from them*
—etto,(Y/n)-chan, what was...?
—they woke up?

"Iie, demo..."

"Okay, let's see what I can give you...ah, right, Akira-chan's notes."

—(Y/n)-chan, etto...
—Here they are, that will be enough, while you... where are your materials?
—nande?
I sighed—and so you'll take care of me?
Serious—... that...
—ooo, how cold, anyway, when we have everything we'll start with the work.
—ha...

"...Kaneki...is it true what you...told me at school?"

"Of course, nanny?"

—...nanimo,etto...I just thought it was something rushed.
—...just for you.
—nande?
—I've been watching you for a long time, seeing you so focused on your work intrigued me... until now I still want to meet you.
Surprised—...are you harassing me?
Nervous—huh?!,i-iie...(Y/n)-chan,(grabbed my hand) will you be my girlfriend?
—...*must be a joke* are you serious?
—I would be incapable of playing with something my heart dictates.

Do you doubt your little boyfriend? Tch, I seriously regret not having eaten you before, damn Leiko.

—...
—what is your answer?

"...hai...Kaneki-Ken if I want to be your girlfriend."
