A part of me {Kaneki x OC}

Understanding

I'm on my way over to Mayu's house for a study group. I walk past an alley and see something out of the corner of my eye. I walk back a few steps and look down the alley to see a ghoul fighting another ghoul.

The ghoul with a red rinkaku kagune threw the other one up into the air. I assumed he got caught on something because he wasn't coming back down. The ghoul left standing looked right at me. I got ready to run, I didn't want to die this way.

"Akemi...." the ghoul called out. How does he know my name?.... wait I know that voice.

"Kaneki is that you?" I asked. He slowly walked up to me and retracted his kagune. He looked down at the ground.

"I bet you think I'm a monster don't you?" He looked up at me tears streaming down his face. I pulled him into a hug.

"Of course not, I don't care if you're a ghoul or anything else as long as you're you." I rested my head on his shoulder.

"How could you not have told me this?" I whispered concerned.

"I thought you would hate me for being a ghoul." He replied drying his tears.

"I couldn't hate someone I care about. Do you want to go to Anteiku and talk about what happened?" Kaneki nodded, thunder rumbled overhead. Kaneki and I ran to Anteiku not wanting to get soaked. When we arrived Touka, at least that's what I think her name is was on her phone a bored expression on her face.

Kaneki approached her, I assumed he was asking if we could use one of the rooms upstairs. Touka looked at me with a confused look on her face. She shrugged as if to say whatever. Kaneki walked back over to me.

"Okay Touka said we could use one of the spare rooms for a few minutes." I followed Kaneki up the stairs. The led me to a room at the end of the hallway.

I walked inside, there was a red couch in the middle of the room and a small coffee table in front of it. Behind the couch there was a big blindness window. I sat down on the couch while Kaneki sat beside me. We sat in silence for a while, then I finally broke the silence.

"So tell me how this happened." I said with a gentle smile. I could tell Kaneki was holding everything up inside of him.

"Well you know how I was away for a while right?" I nodded not wanting to interrupt him.

"That all happened because of this accident I got into with another ghoul. Somehow she was killed and the doctors did an organ transplant." I could hear in his voice that he was trying not to cry.

"A-and that turned me into a h-half ghoul." A single tear fell from his eye. I pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay, let it all out." I told him. Kaneki started to cry on my shoulder.

"Never asked for this, and it's all because I'm half ghoul that almost nobody wants me around anymore. Maybe it's best if I do what they want." He finished quietly.

Just hearing him say that made me want to cry. I hugged him tighter.

"Don't say that, you're my best friend. If you were to leave I don't know what I would do." I looked him in the eyes.

"Please don't do this. I'm here for you, always." I smiled at Kaneki as I wiped my eyes. Kaneki dried his tears.

"Thanks Akemi I really needed that." He gave me a small smile. We both stood up and I pulled him into another hug.

"Don't worry everything will be okay." I assured him.
