Tokyo Ghoul one shots

A still image (Tsukiyama x Hori)

"Where is she?" Tsukiyama asks with his rather cool and collected voice. "I'm sure she's just running a little late Master Shuu..." Tsukiyama sighs. "I sure hope so." Tsukiyama looks up at his loyal servant. "Thank you Kanae, that'll be all..." But right as Kanae was going...

"Oh, don't forget to bring the tea crackers; she really likes those!" Kanae smiles warmly. "As you wish, Master Shuu..."

As Kanae goes inside to get the said treats, Hori is at the door. Kanae scoffs. 'Great, she's here!' Kanae thinks with much salt. Hori grins widely at the servant. "Kanae~!" Kanae flinches in disgust, before walking to the door.

"Welcome back...Maus!" Hori just looks at him. "Thank you, Kanae. Now where's Shuu...?" Kanae gives the female a scowl. "That's 'Tsukiyama' to you...! He's waiting, in the garden for you." Then Hori catches a glance at what Kanae was holding in his left hand. "And those are for...?"

Kanae scoffs. "Master Shuu got these for the occasion. What, you honestly thought ghouls like us would keep these around to snack on...?" Obviously Hori knew that, she wasn't stupid.

"We should get to the garden, Shu-Tsukiyama is waiting for us..." Kanae sighs. "You mean he's waiting for you..." Hori chuckles. "Not true, you're bringing the goodies, so he's technically waiting on you too." She puts it bluntly. Kanae sighs and just walks along side the female.

Once they get there, Tsukiyama's smile lifts. "Chie!" Hori chuckles in response. "Hello Shuu, it has been a while!" Kanae glares at her, but says nothing and leaves.

"It's so good to finally see you out of bed!" Shuu perks up. "And I heard that's because of you." Hori looks at her male friend in shock. "Me? What did I do?" "You were the one to find Kaneki...although he seems a little different, you still found him!" Hori leans over.

"...How did you...?" Shuu responds to the question before it was even asked. "Kanae told me." 'So he doesn't hate me completely...'

"Well, of course I would help you, we're close friends!" She smiles. Then Tsukiyama nudges on as a hint for to speak her mind. "So as your close friend, you owe me a week's worth of parfaits!" Tsukiyama sighs. "You know true friends don't ask for anything in return..." He cheerfully says.

"Yeah sure, but there's also the fact that you owe me for helping you hunt down that waitress you wanted to eat so badly..." Tsukiyama scoffs. "That was almost two years ago! I honestly thought you wouldn't bring that up... And no I didn't eat her, just her eyes. You're so persistent." She smiles widely. "That's why you like being around me, isn't that right?" Tsukiyama blushes in embarrassment. "It's fine, I like being around you for similar reasons." There was laughter coming from the purple haired ghoul.

"I can always count on you, my little pet..." Hori tilts her head slightly. "You haven't called me that in a while." Tsukiyama holds his chin in a graceful manner. "Is that so...? I wonder why, it fits you perfectly." Hori scowls only a little. "Maybe because I am a person?"

"Hahaha! No, that wouldn't be the reason!" He states as he takes a relaxing sip from his coffee.

Tsukiyama sighs happily. "Hey Hori...?" "Yes Shuu?" He smiles warmly. "We've known each other for a while now, and yet...I never did find out." "Find out what?" He sighs. "Well...when we were in school together, most of the girls there were so infatuated with me. Wishing to be around me. Praying for me to catch a little glance at them. But you...you never seemed interested. Why is that?"

She starts to snicker. "Where did that come from?! How the hell did you randomly think about that?" Tsukiyama sighs. "I don't know, I just did..." Hori decides to humour him.

"I guess I only saw you as a friend, never anything else. I wasn't really interested in dating, or liking guys, or anything." There was a pause. "I'm pretty sure I am A-sexual." She says in a joking manner. Tsukiyama scoffs. "Come on, be serious!"
