Faking It [Tokyo Ghoul: Hide Nagachika x Reader]

Chapter 13: Reader

Toma worked quickly, his fingers deft as he eased me into an upright seated position and helped stabilize me. "What's wrong," he said, less of a question and more of a command.
"Nothing," I said, trying to laugh, but I just coughed out more blood. "Just putting on a good show for Hide."
Toma was silent but disapproving as he took a blood bag and IV equipment and poked a needle into my elbow. Then he checked his watch.
"3:34 PM on Thursday. That makes it nine days since your last one." He was quiet for a long moment. "(Y/n), the interval is getting shorter."
"So?"
"So these things are going to start happening more frequently."
I shrugged. "You knew they would."
"But what about Hide? Do you want him to see this?"
I looked down. "No."
"Then tell him to stop coming. Get rid of him somehow."
I clenched my hands and felt the bunny digging into my palm. "I don't want to."
He sighed before standing up. Then he hesitated before patting my head. "Get some rest. I'll tell the kid to go home."
I nodded reluctantly, and Toma left.
I just hope I haven't scared Hide off...
