The room was quiet and the sounds of the wall clock ticking filled the tense atmosphere as Y/n stared at Uta in shock, scared for what would happen. This wasn't like her. Scared shouldn't be in her vocabulary, but, sadly today, it was.

The thought of playing it off and saying, "Oh, it was just a costume thing!", came to mind, but she knew Uta was too smart for that.

Uta sighed as he put down his pencil, making eye contact with the girl on his floor. "Lets make a deal," he says, "I won't tell Touka you're Anubis is you work for me every weekend for four hours."

Y/n thought for a moment. That was an easy request, right? All she had to door was hang around and get paid! Extra money in her pocket. Not to mention, she didn't have to do much.

"I accept," she smiled, "I don't see why I can't spare four hours of my time."

Uta went back to sketching a mask, not looking at the girl as he said, "Great. Just know you're only being paid 5 dollars an hour."

Y/n nodded. That's $20 a day, two days a week. Not bad. Her job at Anteiku was $7 an hour, so it wasn't bad to make an extra $40.

"I won't be able to move for a while, though," Y/n frowns.

Uta hums in acknowledgement and finally looked at Y/n in the eyes. "I'll take you home and you can rest. By the time you're better you'll come over here during the weekends. Also," he stands up and walks to the back room again. Y/n hears him shuffling and moving stuff around, only to come out with a large bag. He puts the bag next to Y/n's stuff. "Your uniform is there."

Y/n sighed, "Okay. Take me home now, please."

Uta picked Y/n up bridal style and grabbed her stuff, making her hold it with her good hand. He then proceeded to walk outside and down the streets.

Time Skip

It was Wednesday morning and Y/n had gotten better. She had to explain to Touka that she got hit by a bus, only to be on the phone for two hours being scolded about paying attention to her surroundings. Since she'd gotten better, she changed into her uniform for Anteiku and began to walk to work.

The bell jingled upon her arrival. She took a deep breath and welcomed to familiar smell of coffee beans and the warmth of the café. She walked behind the counter to the register as she listened to the chatter of the customers.

"I heard there's been doves prowling around," said on girl as she sipped her coffee. Her friend nodded, "I'm too scared to go on my own."

Kaneki watched with Y/n as everyone talked, cleaning a teacup he was holding.

"That'll be all Kaneki," said Yoshimura, "Kaya will take over for you."

"Oh, alright," Kaneki said, "but where's Touka?"

"She called in sick," Kaya said, "so I'm filling in for her." Kaya then walked away to take orders.

"Why don't you visit her," Yoshimura suggested, "it won't be too much trouble since she lives just upstairs."

Y/n giggled. She didn't know whether it was wrong or not to ship the two ghouls together, but she couldn't help it. Kaneki was just a sweet person, and the fact he had to go through that whole gourmet thing was just horrible.
