A world where everyone is human.

Hide's P.O.V.

I was walking down a street to get to the music store. There was new album out from one of my favorite bands. And I had to get it. I was walking happily but almost stopped dead in my tracks. Because I saw a guy around my age, sitting on a wooden beach. He had pitch black hair. He was wearing a hoodie, long pants, and a scarf. Witch I thought was weird because it was summer and I was only wearing a t-shirt and shorts. He was playing with his fingers and was looking around nervously, like someone was coming after him. But people were just walking past him.

I decided the album can wait and walked over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder and he looked up.

"Can I sit here?" I asked.

"S-sure." He said before he moved over, so I can sit next to him. I sat down and didn't know what to say. It was a little awkward. But he didn't seem to mind. He just continued playing with his fingers.

"Name's Hideyoshi Nagachika. My friends call me Hide." I said as I held my hand out, so we could shake hands.

"I'm K-Kaneki Ken." He said as he shook my hand. Why was he so nervous? Most people would probably think he's very shy or they were a little forceful when interdicting. But I could tell that wasn't the case.

"Are you okay?" I ask like I've known him his entire life. He was a little surprised when I asked that.

"Y-yeah." He's lying. I can tell. 

"Are you sure?" He nodded. He's still lying. Why though? Maybe because he just met me? Anyone else would have brushed it off, but I'm not anyone else.

"You need to work on your lying skills." I some what blurted out.

He let out a chuckle before saying, "I'm bad at lying, like I'm bad at everything else." He said before sniffing a little bit and letting a tear or two run down his face. There was something going on with him and I needed to find out what it was.

"Want to go to my place?" I said after I stood up and held out my hand. If a guy you met just a few minutes ago asks you that. You would probably think he's a creep. But I don't think I give off the vibe. Otherwise he wouldn't have taken my hand and walked with me to my apartment. He walked in behind me and I apologized for the mess. Again he didn't care. We sat on my couch and we sat there in silence before he started to to cry. I hugged him, not knowing about hat else to do.

He stopped crying after awhile. He still held me in that hug.

"Talk to me." I said again like I known him forever. But maybe that's what he needed right now. He pulled away and put his face in his hands, letting out shaky breathes.

"I-I'm in a abuseive relationship. With my girlfriend. Her name is Rize. She used to be loving and kind. But something happened and she became angry a lot. The reason why I'm not out of this relationship yet is because she is the only person to show some love to me. Because my parents died when I was little. My aunt took me in and neglected me. So I'm basically holding on to whatever little love I can. Even though I know it's not real." I just sat there taking all that in. Usually when you hear of an abuseive relationship, it's always the guy who hurts the girl. Not the other way around.

"I should go. She's probably wondering where I am." He said as he got up and started to walk past me. I graped his arm, not letting him leave. He flinched a little when I did that.

"Don't go. Stay with me."

"No, I really need to go. I'll just become a burden to you."

"No, you won't. I'm not going to let you go back to her. Let me help you." I was getting ready to tackle him, if I needed too. He gave up and sat back down. After a little bit he started to tug at his scarf, but not taking it off. He's ether nervous or hot. Most likely both.

"Aren't you hot in that? You can take it off." I said. He shook his head. Again lying. "Kaneki, stop lying. You don't need to be scared of me. I won't hurt you." It took him a little bit before he took off his scarf and hoodie.
He had a bruise in-between his shoulder and neck. He had 3 or 4 bruises down both arms. I could imagine he had bruises down his torso and legs. I hugged him, still not knowing what else to do. He hugged back and barred his head in my shoulder.

The rest of the night was a little more calm. But he did start to panic. He would have had a panic attack if I wasn't there to calm him down. He took a shower and I had gave him some of my pajamas to sleep in. He slept on the couch and I left my bedroom door open for him.

In the middle of the night, I was shaken awake. And I saw Kaneki standing over me and holding the pillow I gave him. He was blushing too. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't cute.

"C-can I sleep with you?" He asked nervously. I nodded and moved over so he could lay down. We were sleeping back to back, until he wrapped his arms around my waist. I rolled over and put my arms around him. He snuggled into my chest. And we stayed like that the rest of the night.

I think I'm going to make a part two to this.
I was going to let it Touka be the one who abused Kaneki.
But changed it.
Hope enjoyed.
And thanks for 240 reads.
Until next time!
