Can I help?

Chapter 12

Hide's P.O.V.

Me and Ichika got to my apartment a couple hours ago. We ate dinner and watched a few more Jurassic Park movies before getting ready for bed. She got her pajamas out of her duffel bag, along with a toothbrush and toothpaste. I had her change and brush her teeth in my bathroom before she came out. I put her dirty clothes in a plastic bag before tieing it up. I put a pillow and blanket before putting it on the couch for Ichika. She gave me a hug goodnight before laying on the couch and snuggling under the blanket.

I made sure she was okay before going to my bedroom. I closed the door, but left it cracked open incase Ichika needed to come get me. I put my glasses on my desk before taking off my jacket and button up shirt, along with my under shirt, belt and pants. Then I put on my pajamas, which was a blue t-shirt and grey sweatpants. I put my dirty clothes in the hamper before I put my glasses back on. I sat at my desk and pulled out some papers I had to grade that were in a folder. I got the papers out and got a pen before trying to grade them. But I couldn't because I was starting to worry about Ken. He was just getting so sick, I could only hope and pray to god he doesn't have anything life threatening. I don't know what Ichika would do without him, or how she would act.

I was sort of the same way with my dad after he died. I thought my entire life was over after the accident, but things got better for me. Ichika on the other hand, would most likely be very angry and sad all the time and just a mix of bad emotions. Because of all the love he poured into her and the bond they just have. Kaneki really was giving her the childhood he didn't have.

I just continued to think while sometimes grading a paper before I heard a thud from the living room. I shot up before getting out of my chair and pretty much ran out of my bedroom. I saw Ichika laying on the floor, but she awake and sitting up. I rushed to her and started to check if she was okay.

"Ichika, are you okay?" I said as I held her small arms.

She nodded at me.

"Alright, good. Did you fall?"

Another nod.

"Okay, let's get you off the floor then." I said before helping her up. She sat back on the couch and I sat next to her before she climbed onto my lap and nuzzled into my chest. I gently put my arms around her and rested my chin on her head. I just held her close to me for a couple minutes. Because if she was really hurt, I better be ready to say prayers.

I don't have kids, I pretty much always wanted one, but didn't have one with events in my life. I dated a few of my boyfriends before finding my ex-fiancé, but that clearly fell threw and ended up in a brake up. I was pretty much a little depressed for a few months, and I believe I threw my ring at him. And it made me start to believe I was never really meant to sidle down with one man, adopt a kid, and live happily ever after. But some how it feels different when I started dating Kaneki. Maybe because he knows the pain of losing a person you loved so much, but it wasn't working out anymore.

I could tell Ichika was a little sad, so I said something about it.

"You're worried about your dad, aren't you?"

She nodded against my chest.

"I'm worried about him too. But try not to worry to much, I can tell he's strong. He'll push though it and get better." I said before Ichika snuggled closer into my chest. "Come on, you need sleep because there's school tomorrow. And so do I." I said before she got off my lap. I made her a plait on the floor this time because I didn't want her to fall off the couch again. She got under the blanket after giving me another goodnight hug.

When she was asleep, I went back to my bedroom before putting up the papers. Then I put my glasses on the bedside table before laying under the covers and turning off the lamp and falling asleep.

Time skip~~

Me and Ichika were driving back to Ayato's and Yomo's house when Ayato called. I put the phone on Bluetooth, so I wouldn't have hold my phone to my ear because that could end up badly.

"Hey, Ayato. What's up?" I said after I answered the call.

"Me and Kaneki are coming back from the clinic. Which I am very made at the people working there right now." He responded.

"What happened?"

"Kaneki still isn't better, he stopped vomiting least and the fever went down. When we were at the clinic, Kaneki said his right side felt num and they took note of that. Then following after the CT scan, they said absolutely nothing was wrong with him."

"Is Kaneki okay other wise?"

"Yeah, his headache still hasn't gotten better though. He tired groaning the pain away last night and we eventually had to tell him to be quiet. Because it was driving me and Yomo insane and wasn't letting us sleep. I'm going to take Kaneki to his doctor appointment he has tomorrow. He's right next to me in the front passenger seat if you want say something to him. But he's really tired from not sleeping again last night." Ayato said followed by a very tired hey from Kaneki.

"Hey, Kaneki. How you feeling?" I asked.

"Really freaking tired and my head still hurts really bad."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you didn't do anything."

"Okay, me and Ichika were going back to Yomo and Ayato's house. You guys are on Bluetooth."

"Oh, hey Ichika." Kaneki said before Ichika made a noise in response. I could tell Kaneki smiled over the phone.

"Well, I guess we'll see you at the house then." Ayato said.

"Yep, see you then." I said before he hung up. We got to the house after a few minutes. We got there before Kaneki and Ayato. So, we just hung out in the living room with Yomo, who isn't much of a talker. He did go start to make dinner before me and Ichika heard a car park outside the house. Ichika looked out the living window. I looked out to and saw Ayato just getting out of the car. Ichika went outside and I followed after her. She hugged Ayato before he noticed me.

"Kaneki will probably need a little help getting out." He said.

"Alright." I said before going to the front passenger side and opened the door. Kaneki opened his eyes, he didn't have on his reading glasses, and looked at me before I started to help him out. "Come on, let's go inside where it's more comfortable." I said as I helped him out. He was having a bit of trouble standing and walking on his own, guess his right side really was num. When we got inside, I helped him get his shoes off before I set him on the couch and he laid down before he was given a blanket. Ichika kinda hugged him and gave him a kiss on the side of the head. Kaneki put his hand on her back.

"Hey, baby girl." He said in a tired voice. She let him go before he pulled the blanket up a little more. And we all went to the kitchen and dinning room, so we wouldn't wake up Kaneki if finally got to sleep. They had me stay for dinner and Kaneki did finally get some sleep. We just talked and watched a shoe with Ayato in his room because Kaneki was in the living room. But I did have to go back home after awhile.
