Two halfs of one whole♥

Different lives

When Shiro left after having a serious conversation with Kaneki It's been a while since he came back. Kaneki hasn't seen Shiro in a month and it was starting to worry him very much. Eventually Kaneki stayed and took care of the apartment,moving furniture and belongings in order to feel comfortable in his new home but it didn't feel much like home anymore without Shiro around. Despite Shiro being Kaneki from the future the love was still there. Kaneki loved Shiro and wanted him back so badly it would hurt thinking about it. Some nights Ken would cry himself to sleep in Shiro's bed waiting for him to come back,desperately needing the love and security of his dear counterpart. Everyday was almost the same now. Wake up,eat breakfast,read,go out,come back home,eat dinner and go to bed. It was very boring and casual but since Kaneki wasn't going to college classes what else is there to do? Kaneki sighs a tired sigh and looks out the window,watching people pass by and live there lives.

Suddenly He happen to see Touka pass by with a young girl who had brown hair. 'Ah the little girl from the picture' Kaneki thought and saw how Sad they both looked walking by crowds of people. "Wait- Touka knows Shiro very well maybe she knows where he is!" Kaneki got up and ran out the door trying to reach the young girls before they left. When he got outside of to the street he searched for Touka and the little girl,then from a short distance he saw purple hair. "There you are." Ken quickly ran over to them while pushing past people,when he was close enough he shouted. "E-Excuse me! Miss Touka!?" Touka froze and looked back seeing the raven haired male stand a few inches away,panting from the running. "Do I know you?" She asked sternly and frowned. "Um no you don't know me very well but I'm uh...Shiro's boy-"
"Your his boyfriend right? Figures. He talked about you a lot you know." Kaneki stood up straight and blinked. "He has? O-oh..." Touka smiled slightly. "You look an awful lot like Shiro. You two are very similar as a matter of fact..." The little girl started smiling as well but sadness was still in her eyes. "You look a lot like my big brother...you even smell like him." Touka jolted and glared at The young girl,She squeaked and looked away. "U-Um excuse me?" Touka laughed nervously and removed her bangs from her forehead. "She's just playing around! Kids can have such funny imagination and creativity!" Kaneki smiled and nods in slight agreement, "Yeah sure...anyway I was wondering if you know where Shiro is." Touka's eyes turned angry and Kaneki knew that wasn't a good sign. "How should I know where that stupid liar is? He's not my responsibility now is he?"
"Wait but i-" Touka turned around and started walking, "Now if you excuse us we must leave. Come on Hinami let's go." The brown haired girl followed Touka with her head down. "Ah wait that's not very nice of you to say Touka! Look I'm just worried OK?" Kaneki took a glance at the sky. "I know he's going to come back either way....so please just tell me when you last saw him.." Touka turned around once more and made a gesture with her hands. "Follow me then."

When they reached Anteiku it was a day off so the shop was closed. They entered through the back and Kaneki never thought how nice Anteiku was. He didn't notice how organized and clean it was even though he's been here lots of times. Touka sat down on a chair and looked away, "So tell me how close were you and Shiro. How was the idiot around you?" Hinami had left upstairs to read and Kaneki gulped feeling nervous. "Um Shiro and I met at a bookstore... We were first friends but I feel so different around him that I couldn't help but fall in love...Shiro is real kind when he wants to be and he overworks himself. You could say were pretty close but I had an argument with him and....he left." Touka sighed and swirled her hair with a finger, "Do you know what he is?" She spoke sternly once more. "He's a ghoul."
"Not just any ghoul a half ghoul. And the most troublesome I've met to be honest." She chuckled. "He left after stopping by and saying that he was going to leave. When I asked him where he stayed silent. He said he was going to come back but he's a liar. How could he leave like that its so stupid!" She glared at the window and sighed. "Your both idiots. And I don't have to know you to see that."
"H-Hey!" Kaneki protested and tried proving he wasn't a complete dummy. Touka just laughed and chuckled, "Your both meant for each other I swear." Kaneki smiled shyly then patted Touka's shoulder. "I think he will be back. Just have faith in him." Touka blinked and stared at the smiling human. "Have faith in him huh...? Alright I'll do that."
