My New Thread to the Human World (Boy x Boy)

Part 1: Opportunity Creates Relationships

Okay, so, if you're a Hideneki shipper, you're probably going to see some Hideneki in this chapter. It won't be in any other chapters (I think). I just apparently can't keep my shipping out of it apparently. But!! It seems the love is only one-sided. Hide. Hide could be interpreted as loving Ken. But Hide's going away now ;-; So he shouldn't be in any other chapters, unless he pops back up from time to time.... And I guarantee you that I will try my absolute hardest not to let Hide intervene with Ken and Amon's relationship.

It had been about a month since the Anteiku Raid. Anteiku had relocated, and it was going to reopen soon under the name of :re.

Strangely enough, I had joined :re. I now understood Eyepatch's opinions and beliefs, and I wanted to be a part of achieving his goals. I learned that :re not only supported him himself, but it also held his ideals.

Unfortunately, Eyepatch is in a coma, so he probably won't see the entrance of :re....

:re chatted over their entrance as I brooded. Suddenly though, there were footsteps on the stairs. But no one was upstairs besides Eyepatch!

All of our heads whipped around to the noise. A blind Eyepatch was making his way down the steps, leaning on and practically sliding down the wall.

"Eyepatch!!" I was shocked.

"Dude, you're all right!!" Nagachika raced out of his chair and gave Eyepatch a hug, apparently startling him and impairing Eyepatch's balance. All of the :re workers were smiling as they made their way up to him as well. I followed.

"H--Huh? Wh--What's going on? I--Um, I--p--please let go?"

"Hide, give him some space; he just woke up from a coma," the Rabbit scowled.

"Oh my G*d, Kanekiiiii," Nagachika let go but clearly still had the same amount of energy, "I was so worried!! How are you feeling?!! Are you all right?!! I--"

"Nagachika, calm down," I chuckled slightly.

He was absolutely ridiculous.

"But he's alL RIGHT, Amon-san!!" Nagachika clearly still felt the urge to be hugging Eyepatch as he was jerking his loose fists back and forth.

"Yes, but he won't be all right much longer if you keep freaking him out like that," the Rabbit scowled. Nagachika -- with worry in his eyes -- tried to also tone down his energy at that comment.

"U--Um... Hi--Hide...? Wh...What happened...? I... I'm t--tired... and I... I'm hungry...."

"Let's get you back in the room then," Nagachika started leading Eyepatch back up the steps, "Can one of you get some food for him please?" he requested, and the d*vil ape was the one to head downstairs. Nagachika continued, "And I convinced Arima-san to let you go, so you're currently at :re, the new Anteiku," Nagachika explained, "Don't worry about anything; I got it all covered, man. Amon-san's fine, too."

"The new Anteiku... Um... A--Amon is...?"

"He quit the CCG that night; he's currently Missing. He joined Anteiku!"

"Uh--s--seriously?"

"Yea! And it's all because of you, Ken!"

Eyepatch's eyebrows were raised. "O--Oh..." He smiled smally, "I... I'm glad."

"Yea!!" Nagachika laughed, rubbing Eyepatch's back softly. "You're convincing everyone, one person at a time!! You're doing great, man! Just look at you!" he gripped Eyepatch's cheek with his hand, which, again, startled Eyepatch who started stuttering, "So perfect! You are--"

"Okay, Hide, that's enough. We get it; you've been freaking out since the Anteiku Raid. Calm down," the Rabbit was officially irritated with Nagachika's actions. (I have to say, it was disturbing me as well.... I'm not sure why.) "Kaneki just got out of a coma, but you don't have to smother him in compliments."
