This was not how I pictured my afternoon to go. I just wanted to spent time with my best friend, but all he's been doing is gushing over some girl he likes. I felt terrible mostly because I know he'll never like me like that. I was growing very jealous but tried to remain calm. I listened carefully to what my friend, Kaneki had to say.

"Man, you can't take her to a bookstore. You're helpless." I said while putting my head down and laughed loudly. I was also very happy with his response, based on his knowledge of girls I think it's safe to say he won't score a date. Which is perfectly fine by me because then no girl will get in the way.

"Why not? She might really like that idea." Kaneki said while looking at me. I remained the same trying not to feel uneasy with his eyes on me but I have to admit I hope this girl doesn't like reading. If she does, what will happen? Will they hit it off? What am I thinking of course they will. Kaneki likes reading more than me and I'm his best friend. I wonder what girl he's even talking about?

"So which one is it, which one's your special lady friend?" I asked in a teasing voice. Kaneki just blushed and I really wish I could have that affect on him one day. I heard the bell on the door chime. I looked up and saw a very pretty girl walk in.

"There, that's her." Kaneki said, based on his voice he was nervous. I hate for him to get rejected but I know for sure he has no chance.

"No way, she's way out of your league." I stated. I felt uneasy, I felt jealous even when I have no right to. I felt overwhelmed, I had to leave.

"Well now that I've seen you love sick I've got blackmail for days." I quickly told him placing my money on the table, hurrying out of the café. I felt bad for leaving him there alone, but I couldn't handle my emotions. When will I get over him?

Well the answer to my question was easy. I was helplessly in love. I've always liked him of course but I know now it's not a small little crush that'll go away. I knew as soon as Kaneki called me to tell me he did indeed score a date with the gorgeous girl at the café.

It hasn't left my mind since then. I shouldn't feel this way, I shouldn't be sad my best friend has a date. I should be happy for him! Although I wish it was me, I'm going to have to put my feelings behind me and be happy for Kaneki and his new girl. I wonder how the date went.

I was getting tired, but I wanted to know how the date went. Sure it'll be painful but I can't wait to hear Kaneki get all giddy and excited even if it's for a girl. However I've been waiting for hours and no response. They must be having fun. Maybe they're still talking about books or maybe they're walking around, holding hands. I need to stop thinking.

——-

I know now, I know the date didn't go good and I'm not happy about that. The date went terribly wrong and my best friend is in the hospital. There's nothing I can do either. Kaneki's surgery is today and I'm praying it goes well, that he'll be fine after. I know the doctors are good and that he's in good hands although I can't help but feel nervous.

Kaneki's surgery went well, I believe and I get to see him soon. I just need to go over to the hospital, which is where I'm heading now. I'm excited not being with him made me feel so lonely. I miss Kaneki. That thought made me walk a little faster, which than turned into a sprint.

I ran into the building totally out of breathe and weak, but I was here. I stood up straight and walked to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here to see Ken Kaneki." I watched as the lady at the desk typed into her computer and as soon as she said "room 26" I was gone. I sped walked to the room. I made it to the door, anxious and afraid. I quietly knocked, them opened the door.

"Kaneki? It's me." I saw Kaneki look in my direction and my heart started beating fast. I smiled at him and sat down.

"Hi" was all Kaneki said and it was in the smallest voice I ever heard. I couldn't help but to hug him. I hugged him so tight, my eyes were tearing up. "I was so sacred" I whispered into his ear. I felt Kaneki shake his head while hugging me back.

"I'm so sorry." Kaneki replied. I let go of him and looked him in the eyes shaking my head. "No, it's okay, I just hate the uneasy feeling knowing you're not safe. You mean so much to me and I can't imagine living without you." I cried out. I kept wiping my eyes, trying my best to keep smiling for him. Kaneki smiled and looked down.

"Hide, I'm so lucky to have you. You're my sunshine." I wanted to kiss him right then and there but held myself back. I just debated whether or not to hug him again. I decided to just stay out. "I only shine for you." Was all I said back.

"Hide, can I be honest? And do you promise not to freak out and leave me?" I slowly nodded my head and I felt my stomach turn.

"I, I only went on that date to ignore you." I was taken aback by his words. Those words hurt a lot. I got off his bed and almost left until I felt a hand grab me.

"No, not like that! I love spending time with you, I love being with you, Hide I love you. So take that how you want to or pretend you didn't hear anything." I sat back down, I'm dreaming right? I stayed sitting there, this is too good to be true. I felt Kaneki shake me. "Please say something, anything." I snapped out of it.

"Kaneki, you know I've been wanting to hear you say that for so long. Way longer than I would like to admit but I'm in love with you too." Kaneki sat up more, groaning in pain as he did. "Hey, take it easy." Kaneki nodded and lied back down, motioning me go come go him. Of course I listened. Once I was close to Kankei's handsome face he pulled me into a kiss.

The kiss was everything I dreamed it to be. I felt every emotion he had and I could've fainted right then and there. "I love you." Kaneki said again. I kissed him again and replied "I love you most."
