Forsaken Dreams (Hide x Reader)

Part Two

     The bell at the door rung and in stepped a long, elegant girl that made the stars in Kaneki's eyes dance.

"So it's her then?" You asked, noticing the look in Kaneki's eyes.

A small, shy smile was plastered on Kaneki's lips as his gaze followed the girl. She had long, purple hair swept off to one side and over her shoulder, wearing a purple dress that faded into white, with eyes the same shade of amethyst as her hair, with the addition of glasses with red on the lower half of the frame.

"She's pretty, Neki." You smiled.

"I know, right?"

"You should go talk to her."

"Don't even go there," Hide said.

"H-huh?" That seemed to snap Kaneki out of his trange.

"It's just like Beauty and the whatever with you guys."

"The Beast!"

You laughed a bit, then looked at the female Kaneki seemed interested in. "Neki, go talk to her."

    "W-what?"

"You like her, don't you?"

    "Uh..." He looked down. "S-so what if I do?"

    "You should go talk to her. She might like you too, Neki. Don't you agree, Hide?" You asked, turning to your significant other, whom had just been listening to you two speak for the past five minutes.

    "Yeah! Go talk to her, Kaneki." Hide grinned.

    "B-but-"

    "You won't know if she likes you until you go ask to hang out," Hide said to our shy noirette friend.

    "I doubt she even knows I exist," Kaneki said quietly.

    "Aw, come on," Hide urged. "Go sit with her, or at least talk to her." .

    Kaneki's eyes lingered on Hide. "Fine," he said eventually. "But  you two have to go with the bookstore with me later if it fails."

    "Sure." You smiled, then looked at Hide, waiting for his answer.

    "Of course, but I doubt it will." The blonde-brunette grinned.

    Kaneki  stood up, and then his seemed to freeze in place, looking towards the girl. And then, slowly, a grin crept across his features. You and Hide watched as Kaneki walked over to the purple haired female, smiles spreading across your faces.

    For a while, nothing too interesting happened. Then, Kaneki laughed and the girl smiled widely.

    "Awww!" You whisper shouted, hugging Hide. He hugged you back, grinning as he watched our best friend. After a little bit, Kaneki returned to you and your boyfriend.

    "So, how'd it go?" You and Hide asked.

    "We're going to the bookstore on Sunday at ten." Kaneki said happily, yet still in his quiet tone.
