Kaneki's P.O.V.

As days had quickly passed, I couldn't hide my excitement and I don't know why. I know it's just only a project but.. why am I feeling this way?

Or maybe I'm just too excited because my friend, only friend, is going to come in my house.

Also, he's the first one ever to come in my house.

I don't have any friends since I was a kid but I do remember one kid I think his name was Hide.

Hide was new in town and as I was in the playground with no one to play with, he approached me and introduced himself. I remember that I was very shy to introduce myself and then he declared that he and I were friends or best friends rather.

I'm so happy that time that I finally have a friend but that's the last time I ever saw him.

I heard a knock coming from the door, I stood up from the couch and make my way towards the door.

As I open it, I saw (Y/n) pocketing something from his jean pockets and he was holding some History books.

"Hey." I greet him and he greets back, I open the door very wide for him to come in. He slid off his shoes and came in, he look around a little.

"Where are your parents?" He asked, I flinch but I didn't try to make it obvious. My mother died when I was young so my aunt took care of me and I don't even know who my father is.

"My mother's gone so my aunt took the responsibility for caring me and... I don't have a father." I clear my throat and smile a little.

"Oh. Sorry for asking." He apologized then we finally go to my room, I don't know why I'm so worried and nervous about this. I did my habit again and I saw him staring at me.

I asked him what's wrong but he only shook his head.

"What now?" He asked, staring at me. There it is again, I'm captivated again to those steely (e/c) eyes of his.

Once I realize what I was thinking, I quickly shook it off and think about the History project.

I have so many topics running in my head about the project like the 9/11 attack, World War I & II, Fall of The Berlin Wall, Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Titanic and so on.

"What if we write something rare?" I suggest, his head perk up about this. 

"Rare, you say? I know something rare. It was a forgotten tragedy." He began to pick up some book about Wilhelm Gustloff.

"Death In The Baltic Sea?" I asked, I look at him.

"Besides Titanic, The sinking of Wilhelm Gustloff is the one of the worst maritime disaster in history." He said, I was so amazed. I didn't know about this until now.

"Really? I only know about the sinking of Titanic." I scratch the back of my head and I was so embarrassed.

"Because it was a forgotten tragedy."

He gave me some books about it so I can understand and he began to write an essay type about it. I also began to write my research while reading.

Your P.O.V.

As I write my research and some of my opinions about the project, my eyes lingered to the white haired boy in front of me.

"Hey, snowball." I call him by his nickname, I notice that he blushed. Cute.

He stopped writing and loom at me, "Yes?"

"Are you okay in there? Just tell me if you want to take a break." I said.

"I should ask you that question, (Y/n)." He chuckled, he has a point but right now, I was craving for vanilla shake.

I'm going to buy after I finish this project.

Timeskip

Kaneki's P.O.V.

We didn't notice that it was already 6:00pm and I crack my fingers, I sighed.

"I'm done." (Y/n) announced, cracking his fingers too. We only have to combine our research then done.

"Hey, (Y/n) it's already night time. Do you want to stay here?" I offer, I don't know what came into my mind. It's so fucking embarrassing.

"No, thanks. I should go now." He said, nonchalantly. He said that he was the one to combine our research but I insist to do it.

"Be safe, (Y/n)." I said, I accompany him to make sure that he was okay.

"Yeah, I'll be safe." He said it while staring at me. It's a long one.

Thump.

My eyes widen and I unintentionally clutch the cloth near my chest. What is this? What's happening to me?, I thought.

His words snap me out of my thoughts, "Goodnight, snowball."

He was still staring at me then he turn around and he walks away.

"Goodnight, (Y/n)."
