Jane |UTA|

⑯

Jane awkwardly assessed herself in the full length mirror. Her school uniform was pulled tightly to her chest while all she wore was one of Uta's shirts. It was long enough to reach mid-thigh however, she still felt stark naked. Maybe it was because he was out there, waiting for her... On his bed.

Of course she wouldn't dream to do anything, she was fifteen and didn't even know how old Uta was. She was always told that boys constantly wanted more, attention, food, sex. At least, that's what Amber had drilled into her head after eight break ups. Therefore, she promised to save herself, for the one. But, Jane then noticed that her life was made on promises. Some she most likely wouldn't keep. Tonight was a prime example of that.

With a deep breath, Jane approached the door and slowly turned the handle to see Uta through the darkness. He was sprawled across his bed with a nonchalance plaguing his form and with this, she couldn't deny that he was a attractive man. She thought herself to be lucky in this circumstance, he was perfect in every way.

"Could you... Not look while I get under the covers?" Jane asked as she held her skirt tighter to her chest.

Uta could feel his heart leaping from his chest. She was right there, all for him. And in that moment did he wonder what her soft flesh tasted like, how sweet it would be over the expanse of his tongue.

"Uta?",

"Yeah-" he coughed out, "- I will, I swear it".

With that, she placed her uniform to the side before climbing in beside him. Due to the dark she could only make out his silhouette while he laid beside her, his body over the sheets which separated them.

With the darkness, she found courage and snuggled in closer to his side. Uta had abandoned the sunglasses that hid his true identity. One day he hoped to come clean, announce his secret with confidence. However, he doubted -that with her experience of ghouls- she would take him with open arms. Secretly, that had scared Uta to the core.

After many minutes of contemplation, he looked to her with sudden wide eyes. With his heightened sight he could see her stare up at him, her hazel orbs clouded with pure adoration and libido. She was so frail in his presence and he wasn't sure if that scared him more than her being human, he was (after all) acutely aware of her weakness.

"What are you thinking about?" Jane suddenly asked, her head resting on his shoulder while she looked up at him with those wide, doe eyes.

"Just things. Stuff that's gonna be included in our little talk",

"Yeah... I'm not sure if I want to hear it now",

"What do you mean?" He questioned,

"I don't want to ruin this. I don't wanna find out if you're a monster or something" at the word monster, Uta froze.

"What do you mean by monsters?" He continued. He wasn't exactly sure if he wanted to hear the answer, what she genuinely thought of his kind. However... Uta listened and she said it anyway.

"I mean ghouls of course. They eat humans and I know they can't help it but to me, that doesn't excuse the fact that they kill. Can't they just eat other ghouls if they're into cannibalism? It would make the world so much better",

"What about humans? They kill animals",

"But, we don't look like a pig or a cow. Imagine seeing someone, with the face of a human, rip through your flesh and devour you?... I -for one- would be scared to death",

"And the CCG?" He choked out,

"They protect us, I would know. My dad's a CCG officer".

Uta's whole mind broke into blades of glass, cutting and scraping at his thoughts and feelings like frail skin. No wonder her beliefs were so strict, so disgusting he barely kept the bile down. For years she had been conditioned to think his kind were evil... But , what could he say. He was what she feared. Sadistic, cruel... In a blink of an eye he would rip a person to shreds just to feel their blood wash over his pallet. He was no different from what she feared and yet, he refused to change.
