ON HOLD - The King and Queen - Tokyo Ghoul [Arima x OC]

Chapter 22 Change (Short A/N)

~So... I'm playing that awesome Tokyo Ghoul game for your phone.. and I got this awesome Halloween version of Arima during the Halloween summon event... JUST LOOK HOW AWESOME. I actually squeeled. :I <3~

Misaki POV

I knew Arima was right, this was something that couldn't be ignored and left unattended. Right now I was sitting in the living room, staring at my coffee. I was still in Arima's home but alone as he had to leave for a bit, apparently there was something he had to do and he would be back soon, in the meantime I was trying to think of what could be done about this crappy situation, since it was obvious it was pretty bad and well.. I can't just go and see a doctor like any other normal person would, or well I could, but it wouldn't be very smart obviously... I sighed and took a sip from my coffee and as I wanted to turn on the tv I wondered what happened to my place, it's probably a mess... "I should probably go take a look..." I mumbled to myself and let out sigh, as I got up. Not much later I stood in front of my own door and I actually hesitated to go inside, worried about what happened to the place and all of my things, but when I actually stepped inside I was shocked to find the place almost untouched, or at least that's what it looked like, cause the attack had caused quite a mess so someone must have cleaned the place then and I couldn't help but smile, knowing who did this. Knowing I'd probably stay with Arima for the time being I decided to gather some of my things. Not much later I had packed some clothes on other things, but when I got to my camera I actually hesitated for a moment as I held it in my hands, I just felt unsure things were just not the same anymore... I sat down on the floor with a sigh as I turned the camera on and started to look through the pictures, but instantly stopped when I saw a picture of me and Arima together and I smiled as I remembered the moment, which now seemed like forever ago... Tears formed in my eyes and I simply couldn't hold them back this time. I just wanted things to go back to the way they were, for everything to be normal again... or well normal... things were never really normal if you look at it, a ghoul and a investigator... and as I thought about that I couldn't help but smile a little, it really is something. I sighed as I wrapped my arms around my legs and pulled them to my chest, burying my face as I kind of hugged myself in silence. I just want things between us to be what they were before all this again, I don't want to be scared and cautious and on edge all the time, especially not around him, I want to be comfortable with him again, to trust him... but I just can't and I don't get why... it's not like he did anything bad to me... yet I still can't bring myself to trust him like I used to or to even just be at ease anymore and it's killing me cause I know it hurts him, I could see the pain in his eyes last night... I don't want to be like this... I don't want to be like this with him... Another sigh left my lips as I slowly got back up again and grabbed my things putting them in a bag along with the camera. I left the house, locking the door behind me and noticed how it was already starting to get dark again, it wasn't even that late yet, but it was simply that time of the year where days get shorter and nights get longer, my favorite time of the year as well... the winter season, I always loved the winter season a lot it's just a beautiful season, especially when the world would be covered in a beautiful cold blanket of snow, it just looks kind of magical... just thinking about it made me hope it would start snowing again soon. Smiling to myself I made my way back to Arima's house and it wasn't long till I was standing in front of the door, searching for the key he gave me before leaving however I couldn't find it anywhere and I started to panic a bit. "Just great.." I sighed after I had gone through all of my things in the hope to find the key... but of course without success as the key was nowhere to be found. "Now what.." I mumbled to myself as I wondered what I was going to do now, I could always just wait for Arima to come back or... I could see if there was an open window and just let myself in. Not much later I was inside and found my key laying next to the couch... of course... well that explains why I couldn't find it anywhere. I quickly picked up the key and put it on an empty necklace I found at my place so I wouldn't lose the key as easy anymore. After an hour or so I suddenly got surprised by Arima, pulling me into a hug causing me to almost drop my laptop. "Don't scare me like that.." I mumbled, hugging him back as I smiled a little and I could hear him laugh softly. I actually never heard him come home, must've been really into the show I was watching.. I didn't really have a lot to do so I figured I might as well do something relaxing. "I need to talk to you about what happened earlier, I may have an idea to find out what's wrong and maybe solve it..." He spoke in a calm voice, but I could see he was kind of nervous. Curious I looked at him, wondering what his idea was.

A/N : Sorry for the late update >.< I figured you guys should know why the story seems kind of dead-ish lately and what's going on soooo... I've been quite busy as of late and haven't really thought about writing as much because of that and I also didn't have a whole lot of inspiration to work on the story lately, I do have ideas but I'm having a bit of a difficult time and trouble working them out and writing them etc. I'm working on the story, cause I do really like it and want to continue to write this story so I'm not just gonna drop it or anything (Don't worry <3) But now you guys know why the story has been processing so slowly lately, and it will probably be like that for some time, until I get a bit less busy and have more time and inspiration to work on the story, so please bear with me c: My apologies and thank you for sticking with me c: <3
