My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 5 - Questions

~Time skip - One hour~

Kaneki's POV:

I've been waiting for them to finish operating (Y/N) for quite a while now. I hope everything is going smoothly in there... What am I thinking, of course, it is. It's their job. I argue with my thoughts. 

The door opens and a nurse came in with (Y/N) in her hospital bed. I quickly rose to my feet and looked at (Y/N). I could hear her breathing and she had gained some of her usual colors back, she wasn't as pale as she were outside and all of the blood on her was gone. I sighed in relief. The nurse rolled her bed to the center of the room and gave me a reassuring smile. 

"Hopefully, she won't need more operations and everything is fine for now. Right now she's resting, but she should wake up in the coming hour." The nurse explained to me and continued: "Mr. Kaneki, could you help us make sure that she won't try to leave again?" She questioned me and tilted her head slightly. I can't promise that she won't... 

"I'll do my best..." I said quietly and walked over to sit beside (Y/N). Her face expressionless, I listened to the sound of her quiet breathing.

"Right, thank you." The nurse said and took her leave. I never took my eyes off of (Y/N) and carefully took her hand in my again. It felt like our hands were created to hold one another, they matched perfectly with each other. It was silent once again, except for the beeping machine that monitors her heartbeats. I squeezed her hand a little as my stomach growled at me. I quietly stood up and let go of her hand. I better get myself some coffee... I thought, but I didn't want to leave (Y/N) though. But something worse could happen if I didn't get something soon. So I quietly took me leave, careful not to wake her up while doing so.

(Y/N) POV:

I opened my eyes slightly and saw that I was back in the hospital room again. I sat up in the bed slowly as I looked around the room.

"Kaneki..?" I asked aloud and looked at the empty chair beside me. He didn't break his promise, did he?! I thought and panicked a little, but I can't just run out of here again! I don't know how much more my body can take... Then I heard footsteps coming from the hallway, the door then slowly opened and revealed Kaneki behind it. He had two cups of coffee in his hands. He looked at me and stopped walking. 

"(Y/N)..." He said with a relieved smile forming on his lips. "Thank god, you're awake..." He said as he walked over and placed the cups and the table beside me. I gave him a weak, yet real smile as he sat down on the chair beside me. 

"You kept your promise," I said as he quickly took a sip of his coffee, "... Thank you." I said as he placed the cup back on the table and looked me in the eyes. He then wrapped his arms around me, careful not to touch my injuries. I was surprised for a moment, but then returned the hug. Was has gotten into him all of a sudden? I questioned myself as I enjoyed the feeling of his arms around me. He's gotten a lot more muscular than I remember... He then released me and sat back down on the chair, now looking at the floor. 

"Why did you do that..?" He then mumbled to me, still looking at the floor. I shot him a questionable look.

"What do you mean..?" I asked him. He looked up at me and narrowed his brows.

"Why did you just run out of here when you were seriously injured!? You could have worsened your state or maybe even have died! I wanted to-- I could have--" He suddenly shut his mouth and held up a hand to cover it. I was in a slight state of shock as I looked and him, this isn't like him... I then looked away from him not wanting to answer, but he took my hand in his, demanding to get my attention.
