{Kaneki Ken} Fix Me

You had gotten home from grocery shopping. You were running low on food and needed some more supplies.

As you were about to unlock your front door, you had noticed it was slightly open. You set your groceries on the ground and took a pocket knife from your backpack.

You slowly opened the door and quickly set the bags inside. Then you called out, "Hello? Who's there?"

It was silent. The slight hum from your heater confused you, you thought you had turned that off before you left. You entered your home and locked the door behind you.

You began to pick up your groceries to put them in the kitchen when you heard a quiet groan.

You tiptoed to where the sound was coming from and saw Kaneki. He was curled up in the middle of your living room, soaking the carpet with his open wounds.

"Kaneki?" You walked over to him and kneeled down. He turned his head towards your voice; he kept his eyes closed the whole time.

"What took you so long?" He smiled, then coughed, and turned his head back to rest on the floor.

"Kaneki, what happened this time?" You got up to find your first aid kit. You never know why you still go to look for it. You know he's s ghoul and that he heals himself; if anything you should probably keep a stock of his old kills.
The reason you still grabbed was out of habit. Kaneki used to come to you after being hurt or beat up by some kids older than him.
You grabbed it and returned to him. He groaned when you ask for him to lift up his shirt so you could see the damage.

"Training, hooking up with Tsukiyama, the usual." He quietly said. At least he had a sense of humor.

"You got to start being more careful. Have you been eating?"

His humor left him, "No... I've actually just being drinking those things they gave me."

You sighed, "Kaneki... you know you have to eat. The less you eat the more this is going to hurt."

"I know... I know."

Kaneki winced when you began to clean the blood off. He had cuts covering his sides and chunks of flesh had been pulled from his body.
The bruises were slowly healing but that seemed to be it. You used to offer your own body when Kaneki was like this but you couldn't explain the scars to anyone so the both of you agreed to stop that.

"Anteiku is closed right now, isn't it" You asked, taking old ace bandages and wrapping them around his arm and torso.

Kaneki nodded. "Do you think you can wait until tomorrow so I can go get some things from them?"

"I should be fine. I still have some of the cubes left."

You softly smiled at him before getting up to wash your hands. Kaneki groaned as he sat up to watch you.

"I'll make some coffee, hopefully that I can hold you over so you don't try to eat me while we sleep," You joked, taking some ground up coffee beans and putting them in a filter. "I'll ll have to leave you on the balcony like a dog."

"Maybe you should tie me up," He jokingly suggested. You choked on air and laughed.

"Maybe another time." You shot a wink at him and continued making the drink. Once it was done you poorer two cups and brought one to Kaneki.

He dropped a cube into it and immediately began to drink it. You settled yourself on the couch and watched.

His wounds didn't heal all the way but some of the pain had left. He stood up and joined you on the couch. Kaneki leaned his body into yours and silently cried.

You rubbed his hair and the two of you sat there in silence.
