Kaneki X Reader

The strong scent of coffee filled your senses as you opened the matte black door of Anteiku, the sound of chattering and cutlery clinking assaulting your ears. You thought the cafe was beautiful, decor adorned the walls and lively plants decorated empty corners. There were quite a lot of people in the shop, staff members dashed in and out in a hurried fashion to serve demanding customers.

You looked for a seat, your e/c eyes scanning the room for an unoccupied spot. Your eyes stopped at an empty table, you walked to the table and sat down flicking through the menu. You decided to get a f/d. With a wave of a hand you called over a waiter, after a minute a young boy around your age came to your table, his cheeks were flushed and his breathing a little heavy.

You smiled, he clearly showed signs of him being a little out of breath. "You can rest for a second, you clearly are a bit puffed out and I don't mind waiting a little more," you said.

The boy gave you a grateful smile and stood there relaxing.
While he had a small breather you sneakily checked him out, he had soft charcoal coloured hair that slightly covered his eyebrows. His eyes were a dark mystical grey that sparkled brilliantly in the liridescent sunlight that streamed from the open windows. He had a white squared eyepatch on his right eye which made him look unique. You blushed lightly, he was cute.

"Sorry about that, I've been to rushing around due to the fact the shop's been busy and there are limited staff members." The raven haired boy bowed apologising after he had caught his breath fully. "How may I help you?"

"It's quite alright, no need to apologise, you're just doing your job." You answered politely, "I'd like a f/d please." The ravenette nodded and scribbled down the order in neat writing on the small notepad he held in his hand. "Is that all?" You nodded as he took your menu and headed off to the kitchen.

You idly took out your beloved sketchbook and a small polka dot patterned pencil case out of your f/c pastel coloured backpack. You opened the sketchbook and started to draw the first thing that came to mind. With a skilled hand you traced and shaded quickly, the granite making clean and precise lines on the blank paper. You zoned out for a while, your hand absentmindedly drawing lines.

You were snapped out of your trance by the small clank of your drink being placed on your table. "Here's your drink miss," the cute boy that served you before said giving you a polite smile. "Thank you," you smiled as you took a sip, you hummed in satisfaction of the deliciousness of the liquid. "Wow it's absolutely delicious," you moaned taking another sip. "No problem. Ahaha I could teach you how to make it?" You giggled. ( If your favourite drink is water for some odd reason or something like soda just ignore that part )

"Hey, I know it's busy and all but would you mind having a seat with me? You seem like great company." You asked with your fingers crossed, secretly hoping he'd say yes. He looked at his watch and nodded, "Yes that'd be great, I'm on my break in about a minute or so anyway. Aha you're so kind."

You smiled as he took a seat opposite to you. "My name is Ken Kaneki but everybody calls me Kaneki," he introduced stretching his hand out to shake your hand. You giggled at the formal gesture and shook his hand. "My name is y/n, you can call me n/n." Kaneki blushed as your hand came in contact with his, an electric feeling pulsed through his veins at your touch, you felt the same jolt and pulled back shaking your hand slightly.

"Y/n, that's a pretty name," Kaneki blurted out, he blushed and stuttered slapping a hand over his mouth. "Aha s-sorry that kinda slipped out," he said flustered. You mentally squealed at his adorableness and flustered state. "Ahaha it's okay I think it's sweet," you giggled. This caused Kaneki's blush to darken and become more flustered. "Aww that's adorable," you said leaning over the table to pinch his reddened cheek.

Kaneki swatted your hand and pouted cutely, your heart fluttered at how cute he was. "Hey what's this?" Kaneki asked picking up your sketch book after his cheeks returned to their normal colour. Kaneki's mouth went slack and his eyes widened to the size of saucepans, his cheeks started to heat up again. You tilted your head in confusion, 'was there something wrong with my drawing?'

You got up and peered over his shoulder, you gasped. Now it was your turn to be flustered, "Oh my gosh I didn't realise, I kinda zoned out I-I wasn't really l-looking." Your face was red like a tomato, it turned out you had drawn Kaneki in your dazed state. "I-I'm extremely flattered y/n, it looks so life like and realistic. You've drawn every single detail perfectly, this is truly amazing. May I keep it?" He asked, admiring the drawing in awe. You smiled bashfully and nodded but realised he couldn't see you. You jumped back when you realised how close you two were to each other. If he had turned he would've accidentally put his lips onto your cheek.

"S-sure," you stuttered as you grabbed the book and carefully ripped out the page, you handed to him, he smiled in return. You looked at the clock, "It's getting late and I have some errands to attend to so I must be going. Thank you so much, I'd love to do this again sometime," you said, a little sad that you had to go. Kaneki looked disappointed but smiled at the mentioning of meeting up again. "It's been a pleasure y/n, thank you for the drawing and for your great company. I really enjoyed myself, I hope we can meet again soon,"

You had an idea, you took the drawing and got your pencil and scribbled your number on the back of it and handed it back to him. "Here's my number so we can stay in touch."

"Thanks," he replied. "I guess I'll see you around Kaneki," you said as you gathered up your belongings and put some money on the table. "Bye!" You waved as you made your way to the door, "Wait!" Kaneki exclaimed, you turned around. Kaneki stuffed the money in your hand, you were baffled by the gesture. "It's on the house, it's the least I can do for your kindness," you smiled and gave him a hug. Kaneki blushed and shyly wrapped his arms around your figure. "Thank you so much Kaneki!" You bowed gratefully. "Bye y/n," he said as he waved to your retreating figure as you walked out the door. You waved goodbye and smiled 'I'll definitely be visiting Anteiku again.'

Kaneki gave a small sigh with a dazed look, 'darn I think I've already fallen for her'. He felt a nudge, "Ooo Kaneki's got a girlfriend~" Hinemi teased, chanting the sentence as she poked him.
