Chapter 19: Safety

"Kanekiiiiii," sang a flamboyant purple suited ghoul as he strode down the stairs in the most cliché way possible. Kaneki looked up from his book and sighed heavily as Tsukiyama walked towards him.

"I thought you said you would do something with me today hmm?" Asked Tsukiyama suggestively as he dragged a finger across Kaneki's cheek.

"No, I didn't, fuck off, please. I thought the rule was you can't coax me into whatever sex fantasies that you have while we're staying here." Kaneki grumbled, he looked past the ghoul and saw Touka at the top of the steps, he would ask for help... but she still wouldn't talk to him.

"We did agree to that hmm. We also did agree to you giving me your blood on every day, so I want it now." He hummed as he produced a glass for nowhere.

Kaneki gave him the blood and walked upstairs to where everyone else was staying, Yomo wasn't at the mansion, he was out trying to find a new shop so they could move relatively soon. Ayato was probably with Hinami in one of their rooms, they were very close, and Ayato was still mad that he couldn't help out at the invasion at Anteiku, it had taken multiple concussions from Kaneki and kisses from Hinami to make him stop whining about it every hour.

In other words, he had no one to talk to, only himself, which was not something he deemed safe. They had been at the mansion for the past week, they had been informed that while Nishiki was still alive and well, Koma, Irimi, and the manager were all dead. Touka had tried to play it off, and it did work for at least a day. But it was not long until everyone could hear her cries for hours on end in her room.

A big part of him wanted to go in there and comfort him, make her happy and maybe put himself in a better position with her. But the self-doubt and the feeling of him almost using the deaths to his advantages sickened him.

They had all came to Shuu's mansion as he owed Kaneki more than a few favors and they needed somewhere to stay, unfortunately for him that meant him getting hit on every few hours.

He laid in bed and closed his eyes to escape his boredom and incessant ramblings and fell into a heavy sleep.

"Son of a fucking bitch, why won't this coffee machine fucking work." Grumbled Touka as she punched the expresso machine in anger unbefitting the circumstances.

Hinami walked in slightly scared and poked Touka so she would turn around and Touka softened her glare once she saw her.

"Why are you so mad at the coffee machine?" Hinami asked innocently, planning to confront Touka mercilessly.

"I'm not," Touka mumbled as she turned around, why was she so mad?

"It didn't look like it to me." Said Hinami.

"Well, I wasn't. So that's that." Touka argued with less force.

"I think you are mad at big brother," Hinami said quietly, both defusing the air and setting off a bomb.

"W-what? I'm not mad at him Hinami, I just need some space, and I know he needs some too." Touka responded with even less determination.

"Is that why you haven't talked to him in the last week since he came back? That seems mean, I thought you taught me not to be mean?" Hinami asked with an angelic and accusing face.
