Contract With My Boss [Touken Story]

42 (final)

In the midst of the audience's celebration, the married couple made their way over to the back, where Ken's parents were. The father and son remained silent before Kaneki's eyes met his father's and mother's. "Thank you for coming. I really am..happy to see you guys here."

"Your wife gave us a call and convinced us to come. You should thank her." Mrs. Kaneki said.

He spun his head to her and she could tell the gratefulness in his eyes as he squeezed her hand in his. "You did? Thank you, Touka."

She only smiled at him.

"Your father and I have talked it over and we have decided to stop interfering with your life. You're already 26 and we believe you can make your own choices. With that, your father has something to say to the both of you." Mrs. Kaneki said.

The grey-haired male cleared his throat and stared straight at his son. "I apologize for what I have done and I am truly sorry for my actions. As a father, I have failed to see what you really wanted and forced my wishes on you. Please forgive me." 

"I will only forgive you if Touka does. She suffered more than me after all." He glanced at his wife. "What do you say?"

"Though there is no excuse for what I did, I hope you will forgive me. I only wanted the best for my son." The elder male bowed to Touka, tilting his head down.  

"Mr. Kaneki, though your actions were wrong, I can tell that you did it because you wanted your son to be happy. As much as I find it hard to forgive you, I will say I will because I don't want you two, father and son, to be at odds forever because of me. I hope that you will turn over a new leaf and treat Ken the way he deserves to." Touka answered.

"Yes, of course. I will prioritize my son's happiness from now on. And yours, as well. Is there anything we can do to help the two of you with?" He asked.

They pondered over it and Kaneki grinned. "Then could you help us babysit Ichika while we go on our honeymoon?"

"Ken!" Touka exclaimed. "Who said we weren't taking Ichika with us?! I will not be separated from her! She needs me, she needs us!"

The male's lips turned down into a frown and a sulk appeared. "I was hoping that we could spend some time together alone. We've been separated for 2 long years..."

She was about to retort but her mother-in-law quickly interrupted her with a smile. "Of course, we'll take care of our grand-daughter. You guys can go and have some fun! Remember to take pictures and bring back souvenirs!"

With that, she took her husband by the arm and dragged him away from the married couple. Though Touka didn't want to be separated from her daughter, she can't deny that she also wanted to have some alone time with Ken after being separated from him for so long.

After the celebration was over, they got on a private plane and flew to Paris, the city of love.

This is their hotel room, where they can see the Eiffel Tower.

Touka stood at the balcony, jaw dropping at the beautiful scenery before her. It was night, the dark sky illuminated by the city lights and the Eiffel Tower glowed in gold.

She then felt warm arms wrap around her from behind and a breath on her ear. "Do you like the view, Mrs. Kaneki?" He asked playfully.

Smiling, she turned around to cup his cheeks while his hands rested on her waist. "Of course I do, my husband."

Kaneki grinned, leaning down to nuzzle his nose against hers before claiming her soft lips. His arms tightened around her waist, pulling her close as she stood on her toes to deepen the kiss. They separated hesitantly and knew what they wanted to do, making their way towards the king-sized bed.

--

The male placed a hand on his wife's arm, slowly moving it down her body to rest on her waist. Pressing a gentle kiss to her lips, Touka returned it and smiled up at him. His forehead came to rest against hers as his grey eyes gazed into her blue orbs. "Promise me that you'll stay with me forever."

This time, she said yes and kept her promise.

So this is the end of 'Contract with my Boss' story. Sobs. I know that it may not be the best story you guys have seen in my history of writing and you may have things to say about it but to me, I really liked and enjoyed it writing it even though I had so many writers' block and problems along the way. Special thanks to @AshLost26 and @back-in-black for helping me in the hard times, I really appreciate it. Thank you <3

As you guys know, I have the story up on Archive Of Our Own (AO3) (my account name is DreamerFae) and it is still in the process of rewriting. I might change some parts here and there, to correct the mistakes I made in this wattpad version. Do look out for the changes and drop me a kudos or comment. I would love to see them!

Thank you for your support until the end of this book! I will be reverting back to my one-shots but walah, I actually feel like writing another book about Doctor Ken and Nurse Touka. Another forbidden love (idk). But I learn from my mistakes and I know I need to plan before writing the whole story out. For now, the basic idea is black haired Kaneki (the innocent one) crushing on re: Touka (fluffy blue haired Touka). I'm not sure if it'll be a story separate from the one-shots or it'll be a 2 part one-shot. Will see how my plot goes. In the meantime, I appreciate any ideas for the plot! :D
