My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 11 - Mission

~ Time skip to the 11th Ward - About 4 hours ~

(Y/N) POV:

Kaneki and I arrive in the 11th ward sometime later as we get off the train. I stretch out a bit as I rub my back.

"It feels like we've been on that train for an eternity!" I groan as I take my bag from Kaneki, who are observing the train station very carefully, keeping his guard up. "... Kaneki?" I take his hand in mine and looks at him with concern. He looks down at me and gives my hand a reassuring squeeze while putting on a small smile.

"What do say that we head to my apartment?" He asks as he begins to walk, still holding hands I naturally follow with a nod. Kaneki began to eye our surroundings once again, keeping a close eye on almost everyone, even the children... 

"Kaneki, relax. Nothings going to happen, and also, there's not even a single ghoul here," I whispered so only we could hear. Kaneki chuckled a bit as he looked down at me. I shot him a questioning look, "W-What!?".

"Haha... (Y/N), almost half of all the people on this station are ghouls..." He chuckled with a troubled expression on his face. I looked at him in disbelief and immediately tensed up a bit as I held his hand tighter. He looked down at me again and gave me a reassuring smile, "Now you're the one who's gotta relax, I'm here with you." He whispered as he gave me a kind look.

"Yeah... You're right." I relaxed my grip on him a bit as we left the station and got on a bus to Kaneki's apartment. 

~ Time skip - Kaneki's apartment ~

Kaneki's POV:

I unlock the door to my apartment as I walked in first, smelling the air to see if anyone was here. Empty... I sigh in relief as I look back at (Y/N).

"I'll go make some place in the closet for your things," I said as I walked to the bedroom and began doing so. 

"Thanks, I'll make us some coffee." She says as she disappeared into the small kitchen. As I finished making some place for her stuff, I walked to the living room and sat down on my small couch. I should probably go buy something a little more comfortable now that (Y/N)'s going to live here as well... I thought as I looked around in my little apartment, it's also kinda cramped in here, but I didn't need more space because I would almost never be here anyway. 

"Here you go." (Y/N) said as she came to sit down beside me with two cups of coffee. (Y/N) is actually pretty good at making coffee, despite her not being a ghoul nor having an education with it. I took one of the cups and brought it to my lips, taking a small sip. 

I quickly pulled the coffee away as my hand flew up and covered my mouth, "Ouch..." I mumbled to myself as I slowly placed the coffee on the table.

"Hahahaha... You know you could just have let it cool down a bit before drinking it..." (Y/N) laughed at me as she placed her cup down as well, careful to spill it on herself as she continued to laugh a little. 

"Hey, quit laughing at me like that!" I laughed and poked her side. She quickly squirmed away, still laughing.

"No please, don't tickle me... Ahaha" She giggled and held onto her stomach in a protecting manner. I raised an eyebrow at her as I slowly crawled towards her, readying my hand.

"Tickle? You mean... Like this!?" I quickly tickle her as she laughs uncontrollably and kicks after me.

"N-No plea--!" She can't even finish her sentence because of how much she laughing. It's kinda adorable. I smile down at her as I keep tickling her.
