My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 24 - Game Over

Kaneki's POV:

I let out a deep sigh as we were still searching for Yuki 30 minutes later! It was fun at the start because Ayato had no idea where she could be hiding and looked like an idiot, which is always funny to watch, but now we have searched the whole garden and the house and Yuki know the forest is a no go. Aku was turning tired and got (Y/N) to carry him on her back as he was slowly falling asleep. Ayato then abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned to glare at me as I just smirked back at him and mockingly shrugged my shoulders. 

"Okay... Okay! I give up! Come out!!" Ayato shouted with a frown as he scratched the back of his head, forced to accept defeat. (Y/N) and I just began laughing at him as Aku slowly opened his eyes and looked confused at us.

"Did we find her..?" Aku asked in a sleepy voice as he struggled to stay awake and raised his head a bit to look around. I just shook my head and smirked a bit to myself.

"I told you Ayato, should've listened," I said as Ayato glared at me with a small smile before laughing a bit too. "Now, we'll help you find her." I said and stretched my arms a bit as (Y/N) just shook her head.

"You two go find Yuki, I'll go inside and put Aku to bed..." (Y/N) said and shot me a dashingly smile and carried Aku inside. I don't get how she can still make me feel this way... Whenever she shows me that smile I feel as if my body isn't bound to the ground anymore, like I can do anything and it spreads a warmth in my heart. 

"For god's sake... Are you done staring at your girlfriend already? The sun's beginning to set, so let's find the girl before it gets dark!" Ayato said and stared at me as I turned around and gave him a sarcastic glare.

"Ha ha, very funny." I said sarcastically as I walked past him and called out to Yuki, "Yuki!! You've won! Come out!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs and listened for her reply, but she didn't say anything and she didn't come out. Ayato just chuckled a bit at me as he crossed his arms and followed me with a mocking smirk. I didn't pay him any attention as I just tried to catch her scent and almost immediately got it. 

"Hm... Smell that? Who's laughing now?" I said and looked at him over my shoulder as I walked in the direction Yuki's scent lead. Ayato took a deep breath and rolled his eyes at me before following me once again. Her scent headed in the direction of the forest, so she was properly hiding just at its entrance, not able to hear us. 

(Y/N) POV:

I put Aku under his covers as I then looked over at Yuki's empty bed. Aku turned to me as he slowly opened his eyes and smiled up at me, still looking very tired. 

"Where's sis..?" He asked and rubbed his eyes a bit as he then looked over at Yuki's empty bed on the other side of the room and yawned. Adorable...

"She'll be here soon, dad is looking for her now, so just you wait and see, she'll be here in just a minute!" I said in a cheerful voice, trying to release some of his worries. Aku and Yuri were basically inseparable and did everything with each other, hide and seek was one of the few exceptions. Aku just nodded and crawled a little further under the covers as the sun had now set outside. 

"Goodnight mom..." Aku said and yawned once again as he closed his eyes. 

"Goodnight honey, I'll see you tomorrow. I love you..." I said as I softly kissed the top of his head. He just nodded a single nod as he then slept soundly. I then got off of his bed and walked out of his room and silently closed the door behind me. What's taking them so long? 

"(Y/N)..." Ayato was suddenly standing in the door, panting slightly and holding onto the doorframe. I just shot him a small smile and walked towards him.
