You dialed Kaneki's number into your phone. You wanted to tell him how the conversation with your father had gone, after all he was apart of this whether either of you wanted him to be. It was sad to think about how just that one night everything had changed, from your new taste in what you called food, to how your body reacts to things.

It definitely was not easy adjusting to your body, that was now constantly changing. You felt hungry for one thing, so very hungry to the point of where it was getting difficult to stop yourself from going outside and hunting. The worst part about the hunger was that it was getting painful, is this why some ghouls after so long of not eating anything, will lose their minds to their hunger, and their instincts take over forcing them to hunt?

You shook your head clearing trying to shake off those thoughts when you heard Kaneki's voice through the phone.

"Y/n? How did the talk with you dad go?" He sounded nervous, and you knew that he had every right to be. What you had just done with your father could have went very badly for the both of you if he didn't believe you. 

"It went well, he believed what I told him was the truth, and he has no reason to suspect you of being a ghoul. " You heard Kaneki let out a sigh of what you assumed to be relief.

"That is great I was really concerned that something would go wrong, and  you would be hurt Y/n?" Now you were extremly confused. Why was he so worried about you when he should have been worrying for himself.

"Everything is fine with me Kaneki, but what I did could have put you in serious danger Kaneki. I can take care of myself so please don't worry about that, you need to worry about yourself first Kaneki, then others. You could get in a lot of trouble someday if you don't worry about yourself first. If you get hurt or killed all the worrying in the world, wont help the other person Kaneki, so please, worry about yourself more."

"I guess you do have a point there Y/n... but even still I don't think it is going to help me worrying about other people more than I do myself. It is just something I tend to do especially when someone does something like you just did, you could have been killed...so I am sorry if I seem like a worry wat."

"It is fine Kaneki...although we did have one issue while I was talking to my dad...I have to find food but he doesn't' want me to hurt anyone, and I am not sure how I can do that. He said that he will get me the food that they feed the ghouls that are prisoners at the CCG, but it will might make me go mad after a while. I know I am also starting to become really hungry... I hope that he can get me some food soon."

"Y/n! You can't let yourself get that hungry! What if in a moment of weakness you hurt someone! At least drink some coffee to get the edge off. Meet me at the cafe Anteiku tomorrow, and I will give you some of the specially made sugar cubes that the boss gave me. It helps take the edge of the hunger, so it will hopefully help you until you are able to get some food Y/n."

"Really Kaneki? I feel like that is asking a lot of you. I have already asked you to do so much for me. I can't ask you to do this for me. I feel like that would be crossing the line, after all it is your food."

"It is fine Y/n, if you are hungry it is only going to make me worry more so please, just say you will come to the cafe tomorrow." You let out a sigh, not liking taking food from Kaneki, but in this case you really had no choice but to put those feelings aside. You knew what a hungry ghoul looked like, and you didn't want to end up like them.

"Alright. What time should I meet you there tomorrow?"

"How does one  o'clock sound to you Y/n?"

"Perfect."
