Eat You Up [Tsukiyama Shuu]

[FINAL]

(Name) scrambled away from Tsukiyama, pressing hard on the bite wound to stop the flow of blood. His purple eyes were replaced with black and red. Her breaths were short and quick, eyes wide in panic.

"Perdona me," the man (name) fell in love whispered. "I'm sorry but it has to be done."

"Why?" (Name)'s shaky voice went straight to Tsukiyama's heart.

"Because lions and gazelles are not meant to be together." The ghoul smiled sadly. "Because I have allowed myself to love you, to pretend I am more human than ghoul."

Tsukiyama climbed on top of the bed. He was looming over (name)'s shaking form. Her flesh and blood were delicious and Tsukiyama craved more. He loved her though, Tsukiyama admitted that, and he hated himself for bringing (name) so much pain.

"You once said that I am a big bad wolf. Now you see how right you were, love." He whispered and gathered her in his arms. She didn't fight him but clutched onto him- as if Tsukiyama was holding her after she woke from a nightmare. "This is a goodbye. It'll hurt me too. It will hurt so much but the pains of love are always bittersweet, no?"

After (name) nodded into his chest, Tsukiyama smiled. Slowly, he lowered his head and pressed a kiss to her neck. When Tsukiyama bit down, (name) only whimpered. Their tears fell in tandem. Pain and regret burned in the couple's souls.

Then (name) fell limp in Tsukiyama's embrace, the world dark for her. Tsukiyama, a man, a ghoul, continued to devour the one he loved until there was nothing left. Wiping his tears, he went on his way to remove the bloodied sheets and the clothes strewn around his room.

"Where is Tsukiyama?" Touka asked Kaneki.

"I haven't seen him in three months." The eye-patched ghoul muttered. "Do you think something happened to him?"

"We would've heard of it."

"I'm worried."

"You worry about everyone, Bakaneki." Touka snapped. "It's not healthy."

Kaneki smiled at Touka's back as she walked away in a huff before a frown came back to his face. Tsukiyama's missing status still gnawed at his mind.
