All For You (p2)

Pieces (1)

A/N: If you wonder what happened after the final battle ended, here it is. Some short pieces.

Kaneki is sitting on the chair beside Touka at her study desk, his eyes stuck on those rabbits, one was mocked on her phone nicely. How happy it is when looking at 2 cute 'rabbits' at the same time, the other one is trying to solve the math problem on her practice test.

The atmosphere surrounding Touka's room was so warm and lovely; he was tutoring her for the entrance exam to Kamii, happening in 2 weeks.

"Finished," Touka yanked her head up softly and stretched her body. She has sat there for more than two hours.

"Let me see," Kaneki picked up her paper and scanned through. 

It was done nicely, her answers are mostly correct, beautiful handwriting, and it is well-organized. But the final question was a bit messy and doesn't have a final answer.

"Touka-chan, how about the final one?"

"I gave up, it's so hard," Touka tiredly said and rested her head backward. 

Kaneki gave back a warm smile as always, understanding her feelings; she really tried, the final one was the killer question after all, not many students got it. Redirected his gaze back to the paper with the marking scheme on his phone, starting to mark Touka's paper.

"74%, not bad, Touka-chan"

"Really? Then it'd be enough to be qualified," She hinted at the happiness in her voice.

"This is last year's paper, I got 95% by the way." Kaneki grinned teasingly. 

"I'm not a nerd like you, idiottttt." She pinched his cheek while prolonging the word, looking at him with narrow eyes.

"I'm Shorzyyy,"

Touka finally spared his cheek with a pleasant smile on her face. These peaceful moments with Kaneki are treasures. The battle occurred just a few days ago, and Touka's body is still left with a lot of wounds and some parts wrapped with a bandage. It has been so long since they could enjoy their time like this, despite Kaneki having to join the CCG in the future.

"So... Which day will you go?" Touka remembered Kaneki being a CCG member. The whole Anteiku knew it. 

"4 days before your exam. I'll be in a training session for new investigators for 2 months and stay at the training camp."

Touka sighed. "You leave again." The only good thing is that CCG promised not to touch Anteiku as long as they don't harm innocents, and Kaneki is still working for CCG. But Touka has worried feelings inside her. 

Kaneki patting Touka's head gently, "Don't worry, Touka-chan, it's not like last time. I'll call and talk to you every night, ok?" 

"I'm just worrying that they are hiding suspicious intentions with you, don't treat me like your little sister."

"Worrying for me? What could they do to me?"

"How can I know? But we can't put all the trust in them. They could erase your memory and then make you believe that you belong to them. If it happened, you won't remember Anteiku anymore." Touka speaks in a worrying tone

On the other side, Kaneki's smile just became bigger, and he rubbed Touka's head soothingly, which successfully made her relax a bit. "I will never forget you, Touka-chan. "

"How can you be sure about that?" Touka pouted. This time, she's more like requesting a reasurement than worrying.

"Arima," Kaneki said curtly. "His eyes are firm... I don't know why, but I think I could trust him."

Touka sighed again, trying to relax a bit under his soothing hand, and her mind is so tired of thinking already.

"But even if I lost my memory. I'll just fall for you again," Kaneki playfully joked.

Touka couldn't hold her chuckle as she heard that; she couldn't deny that she found it cute from him. Those cheesy lines are what she used to hate because couples around her kept flirting with each other like that. But now she wants to hear it once in a while.

"If you lost your memory, I'll make moves to claim you back," Touka said back, firming in her voice. They both happily smile at each other.

"Thanks, Touka-chan." He knew she would be like that; that's the Touka he knew.

The rough hand softly intertwined into the blue hair and tucked her bangs aside. "10 days until I go, I'll make good use of this time." Holding her chin gently and adjusting it to his side, Kaneki leaned in closer, slightly tilting his head.

Touka understands it and also closes her eyes, accepting his warm lips.

They separated not long after it and feel each other's hot breath, Touka's hands, from embracing his neck, switched to roaming his front body. 

"Your body needs more time for recovery," Kaneki hesitantly said, as he's also hot and bothered. 

"I'm good..." She hotly said, "Lock the door."

"Amusement park? Basic choice for first date, huh?" Irimi teased as Koma invited her to go to the amusement park with him.

"It will expire soon, so why not? It'd be a waste of money if we don't go." Koma said, sitting on the bed. Those two tickets are what Koma gave Kaneki to lure him and Touka away from Anteiku. But Kaneki gave it back after the battle ended, because Touka couldn't gather her mind for a date with a big exam ahead.

"But is it ok for you? Your wounds still look pretty bad." Her fluent hand movements continue re-wrapping the new bandage around Koma's injured body; every gentle touch seems to make him heal much faster.

No reply from Koma.

Irimi switched her gaze to him, requesting an answer, only to find his eyes softly landing on her. And he seemed embarrassed when being caught. "What are you looking at?" She simply asked; she has no idea what's inside his head.

"I-it's just-... You've never treated me this nicely." Koma shily said, eyes dodging her gaze. Irimi's head tilted in questioning.

"Y-you know, you always care for Touka, Kaneki, and everyone else. But to me, you are just being like a normal friend." He added, which received a shy look from Irimi.

"T-Then I'll treat you more special than others from now..." Her head turned 180 degrees, away from Koma, and the way she spoke was so small. It makes Koma's face hotly burned, too.

Irimi is reaching 30s, but it has been a long time since she said those things to anyone, and she's not the type of girl who says it comfortably.

A/N: Alright, I know this story has ended, but I'll upload more pieces like this once in a while. Thanks for supporting my work
