Unmasking A Ghoul (Uta X Reader)

Ch.18

"Yeah he's doing well... Thank you... No, really! I wouldn't know what to do otherwise, Uta.. Yeah Ok... Talk to you later then!" I ended the call with Uta.
He's helping me so much with Yuse, even if Yuse has only made it harder for him...

"Still talking to ink boy? You know I'm suprised you're into guys like that... Didn't even think you were gonna seriously stick with him.." Yuse rambled off from his nest of blankets.

I shook my head to myself, doing my best to swerve off these low insults Yuse said from time to time. I always hope he didn't mean it. Especially since Uta was the one helping me care for him.

"There's alot you don't know about me!" I joked, hoping to lighten my own heart.
"That can't be! I know you like I know myself!" He happily boasted.
After a moment of silence, he whined, " I miss working..."
I frowned and agreed. " Yeah but you really can't get up..."
He sighed and looked at his bandaged arm.
"Hey when did you change the bandages?" He noticed.
I momentarily froze. "While you slept. I didn't want to hurt you or distrub you."
In reality, it was much more. Had he been awake as I took those bandages off, he might've gone into a flurry of panic, seeing the one part of his body which makes him a ghoul.
  Now as I thought about it, I realized he was gonna need to eat soon.. The coffee trick won't work forever. I really need to talk to Uta about it.... I wouldn't want something happening if I keep putting it o-
"Coffee trick?"

I looked to Yuse.
"W-was I speaking aloud?" I laughed nervously.
"Yeah..."
Yuse was clearly confused but I realized he wasn't concerned at all. And I was here having a heart attack.
"(Y/n), is it like the black coffee helps me heal? I had heard something about it at work before..." ,he pondered.
"Yeah.. among those lines.."
I quickly began to pick up some mugs lying around his nightstand and took them to the kitchen.

That was too close...But one day he will find out .....

I can't bring myself to face that reality...
