It was about 9:45pm and you were strutting tour way downtown, going home after work. You worked at a small café and it was your night to close.

It was cold, due to the December frost. You never knew why but you always the winter. You loved the feeling of having a breeze flowing through your (h/c) hair, and the cold nipping your cheeks and nose.

While you were walking you decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway. What could happen? You thought, as you made your way down the dark and shaded path. You heard noises behind you and decided to walk faster. Every noise you heard made you flinch and glance behind your figure, nervously with large eyes. Those widened to about the size of the moon when a hand suddenly covered your mouth. You screamed as loud as you could but you were silenced by the strong grip.

"Hey there, pretty girl. Wanna have some fun~?" his perverse voice spoke. "NOPE," you bellowed, struggling out of his grasp. You ran about 4 steps before he jumped down in front of you. Well fuck, you thought as you took notice of the glowing red eyes and blue tentacle-like growth on his left arm.

So by now you think your gonna do something really solid or stay calm and keep your cool, right? Nope. You weren't doing so good, giving up, actually. Grandma's words were the truth; "Life sucks, then you die," You stood still, shaking. You took a step back and he took one forward. Then, you realised that you weren't too far from a semi- busy street. If you could just reach it to the end of the alley you came in at you could probably book it and get away.

You glanced behind and began backing up, slowly. His eyes werw still glued and a drip of drool  rolled down his chin. You wipped around and sprinted as fast as you could. You heard footsteps that werw quicker than yours and getting louder my the millisecond.

His hand grabbed you by the collar and slammed you against a hard surface"Just where do you think your going?" He spoke again. You were pinned against the wall and squinted you your eyes shut in fear, waiting for the excruciating pain of being eaten alive to come. However it never came. Instead, you heard the sound of punches being thrown and ripping flesh. You were too scared to look.

You finally opened your eyes and to your surprise, the ghoul was on the ground, dead, surrounded by a pool of blood. Standing above and staring down at him was another ghoul. He had white hair and looked around your age (19. Just pretend you are if you aren't). He was dressed in black and had a mask with a toothy grin across the front. There was an eyepatch and two bolts on the sides.

Suddenly, he looked up at you and walked towards you. You tried stepping back but soon realised you were still against a wall. "Sorry" he spoke and for a split second you were confused with his words. But then, everything went black.

When you awoke, you were unfamiliar with your surroundings. Then your eyes widened in fear as the memories of the previous night returned to your mind.

You looked around the room, hesitantly, to take in your surroundings. It was a dark room. You were on a black couch In the middle of an empty room. In front of you was a window that covered the entire wall and looked out to the city. Behind you was a counter with four stools and a coffee pot.

It smelled like ash and rust. And it was quiet, too quiet. This bothered you and you began to become frightened. Suddenly a door across the room opened and the white haired boy from the night before walked in. You didn't notice it before but he was well built. He had attractive features, as well. This caused a light pink to slightly dust your cheeks. "I see you're awake," he said. "My name is Kaneki"

He walked over to the counter and made two cups of coffee. "Where am I?" You asked. Sadly your voice cracked as you tried sound as confident as possible. He sighed. "Uh.. don't freak out but you're in Aogiri headquarters," Kaneki stated as he handed you a cup of coffee. Excuse me? Your eyes widened in fear. Your heart began to race in trauma as you looked over at him. "Why!?!" You asked and began shaking, caused by different emotions.

"Um... b-because I brought you here," he said as he looked away and scratched the back of his neck. "WHY!?!" You asked once again. He blushed and you were a little confused at this. "I-I....um...I didn't want any other uh.. ghouls to follow you home and um... hurting you... I guess.." he said flustered, still looking away. He glanced at you a couple times as you just sat there. In shock. Looking as red as a tomato.

No one has ever done something like this for you. Nor has anyone taken this much notice in you up until now. "So...uh.. W-what's your name?" He asked still flustered. You broke out of your long stare and shook your head slightly. "Uh.. it's (Y/n)," you finally answered. "(Y/n), huh? Thats a cute name. I like it," he said with a sweet grin. His words made you blush 50 shades of crimson. "Uh.. thanks, kaneki."

A few awkward moments of silent coffee sipping passed and then he spoke up "look, I know this is really sudden, but, I just thought you were really cute and I really like you so uh... would you be willing to uh... g-go out with me?" Shit! I need to calm down! I just confessed everything to her! What the hell is wrong with me! Kaneki thought with an extremely adorable and noticeable blush.

Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomomg. Wait, what just happened? Did he just ask me out? "Look I uh... you seem really nice and all but... I just woke up in the secret headquarters of the most wanted ghoul gang in the country, and you just asked me o-" you caught off by Kaneki closing the gap between you two. Your eyes widened in shock. You soon closed your eyes and just sat there, enjoying the moment. Soon he pulled away. Both of were as red as tomatoes. He sat back down in the chair he was in (oh I forgot. There was a chair). "Uh.. sorry. You were just kinda... freaking out and it was kinda... adorable so.. I.." he managed to stammer.

"Ok..." was all you managed to say. You were still freaking out inside. You were also still trembling. You raised your hand, unaware of your actions. WACK! You had slapped him across the face. He rubbed his face as the irritation soon healed. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I have no idea why I did that!" You said, feeling pleased but also guilty.

"Oh yeah, sure you don't." He said. "No! I'm serious!" You began laughing at his reaction; an irritated, pouty face that said 'i hate you'. Your beautiful laugh made his eyes widen and a crimson hue spread across his face. You finally stopped laughing and noticed his head had hung low and he his bangs and hand to cover the-blushing-mess-of-face he had. "Are you ok, Kaneki" you asked slightly concerned? He nodded cleared his throat. "Yeah, i'm f*voicecrack*ine," Dammit, He thought.

A few more short conversations about ghouls, (how you got knocked out), literature (which you loved) anime, and other things had passed and it had become awkwardly silent again. "Kaneki?" You said. He hummed in response.

"I would love to go on a date with you,"
