Can I help?

Chapter 2

Kaneki's P.O.V.

I got to mine and Ichika's apartment, I drove us here. I unlocked the door and let us in before I turned on the living room light. We left our shoes at the front door. I left my shoulder bag at the door too. Ichika did the same thing with her backpack. I sat on the blue living room couch before Ichika crawled on and sat on my lap. I had my arms around her and she had her arms around my neck. She had her head against my chest. I took off my reading glasses and put them on the little table next to the couch. I left the apartment so quickly to go get her, I left them on.

"What happened, baby girl?" I asked her.

She just made a noise.

"We're kids just mean?" I asked before I kissed her on the head. She nodded after I pulled away. "I'm sorry, sweetheart." I said as she snuggled closer to me. I just let us stay there on the couch for a little bit.

"Hey..." I said before Ichika looked up at me. "Will pizza for dinner make today a little better?"

she nodded.

"Okay, I'll order it a little later. But for now, you just want to watch your shows?"

She nodded again before getting off my lap a couple minutes later. She got her pillow and put it on the floor, in front of the TV. But not to close. I turned on Netflix and put on this show about the times before dinosaurs, basically the first life. She's really been sucked into it. All I can say, least it's educational and okay for her age. She can stand the sight of blood. I got my laptop off the charger and opened it up. I pulled up the chapter of a book I was currently working on. And put my reading glasses back on.

A couple hours pasted before I got my phone hand ordered the pizza. And it came about 30 minutes later. Ichika got a small cheese pizza for herself because she doesn't like to share her food every much. I got my own pizza too. It had vegetables on it, which she doesn't like. I paused the TV and me and Ichika sat at the kitchen table to eat. There was a small TV in the kitchen, but I only turned it on in the mornings for the news or to put on The Land Before Time for Ichika after the news on the weekends.

Ichika was currently eating her cheese pizza happily. I was eating my pizza too. After we were full, there was some pizza left other. I got Ichika to whip her mouth with a paper towel. I put the pizza in the fringe before following Ichika into the living room. I put on the show again as Ichika sat on her pillow. And I started on the book again on my laptop.

After awhile, there was a knock at the door. I was confused. I saved what I was working on before getting off the couch. I opened the door and saw it was the guy from the school front office, he must be one of Ichika's teachers. The ginger hair and brown roots, and brown eyes. He had brown square famed glasses too.

"Hey." I said as I put my glasses on top of my head.

"Hello, sorry I stopped by like this. I just wanted to know Ichika was okay." He said as Ichika came over and wrapped her arms around my waist. She must of paused the show because I didn't hear it playing anymore.

"Yeah, she's doing better. How did you get here anyway?"

"The school leaves home addresses incase of emergencies."

"Oh, right. Do you want to came in?"

"Sure, I guess." He said before I let him in. I closed the door behind him as he left his shoes by the door. Ichika went to go sit on her pillow again and unpaused the show.

"Do you want some coffee? I don't have any creamer though." I offered.

"Sure." He said as sat down on the couch. I went to the kitchen and made the coffee before coming back with two coffee mugs. I gave one of them to him and he said thank you before I sat back on the couch, on the other side of the couch. "I can see why she likes this show, it's interesting." He said to break the silence.
