Unbreakable (Eventual Kaneki Ken x Reader)

Chapter Four:

You were surprised that Kaneki invited you as his guest to his next match. You agreed instantly, curious and not wanting to be rude.

[Message][From Kaneki]: Wear something casual, but better than sweatpants.

[Message][To Kaneki]: Alright, got it :D

[Message][From Kaneki]: I'm going to pick you up at 3 pm, don't forget.

[Message][To Kaneki]: Okay mom

You checked the clock, it was currently two twenty one so you had a while. You took a quick shower and dressed in skinny jeans, a blouse, and your usual black converse.

[Message][From Kaneki]: Oh yeah, grab some sunglasses too. I'm not sure if you'll need them, but bring them just in case.

[Message][To Kaneki]: To avoid the paparazzi?

[Message][From Kaneki]: Yeah, sorry :/

[Message][To Kaneki]: It's fine.

You scrolled through Tumblr on your phone that was connected to the charger. You searched "Kaneki Ken" and learned about some of his matches and awards before heading on to scroll through some anime and manga blogs.

The sound of your doorbell ringing snapped you out of your thoughts. "Coming!" You exclaimed, sliding on your sneakers and grabbing your phone.

"Took you long enough." Kaneki joked. You rolled your eyes and stuck out your tongue at him. "Are you still sure that you want to do this? The press is going to freak out you know." Kaneki stated.

"Do what? Watch my friend compete in a karate match?" You retorted. "If they make a big deal out of it we should just rise above it and clear the rumors." You added.

"Okay, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the consequences." He insisted.

"Yes mom." You replied sarcastically.

He pinched your cheek lightly. "Don't be so cheeky, young lady." He stated, smile forming on his face.

"It's not a phase mom!" You rolled your eyes and said.

Kaneki flashed his ID at a someone in the entrance when you walked in. They stopped you but he grabbed your arm stating, "She's with me."

Your eyes opened in awe when you saw the arena. It was huge, larger than you could've ever expected after seeing it on TV. Everything was much more overwhelming in real life. You realized Kaneki was tapping your shoulder and trying to get your attention.

"That guy over there is named Hideyoshi and he's one of my oldest and best friends. He's actually my manager as well. You can sit next to him while I get ready and during the match. You'll like him, I'm sure." Kaneki explained.

"Okay, good luck!" You replied, heading towards the stranger. He looked up from his phone when you approached. "Hi I'm Kaneki's friend-" You started.

The guy jumped up. "Oh you're y/n, Kaneki talks about you a lot! I'm Hideyoshi, but feel free to call me Hide." Hide exclaimed cheerfully, shaking your hand enthusiastically. "When Kaneki told me he was inviting someone, I was really excited. He never invites anyone to his matches." Hide continued rambling, as you sat down next to him.

"Really? I'm flattered." You responded, smiling up at him.

"Yeah, Kaneki has to act all cocky and confident in front of the press because that's what they expect of him. Load of BS if you ask me... But in reality he's actually quite shy and introverted, unless he's mad then he gets scary and has this murderous aura. So yeah, he's usually quiet around other people but he's loud around you. Anyways, when I heard that someone was coming with him, I was naturally super excited! I hope the press doesn't over exaggerate this like they always do. The paparazzi is shit if you ask me, forcing Kaneki to keep up with this fake persona and exposing everything in his life." He replied.
