I Caught You [Shiro!Kaneki x Male!Reader]

You Can't Hide Now

It was another hot day in Tokyo, Japan. Like any other ordinary day besides the fact that people were dying out there, but it was no problem for the Anteiku gang. The air conditioning was blasting on high, cooling down the whole café, which brought in quite a load of customers who requested smoothies, and bottles of water to avoid the summer heat.

Times like this was _____'s favorite time of year. When his shift was over he'd occasionally chill around or help out downstairs just for the hell of it. Though, the time he favored most was when he could chill out with Kane (one of his many nicknames for the half-ghoul). Even though he never really showed it, he really enjoyed the white haired dude's company. The history between the two meeting was really unknown. All he remembered was that he met Kooneki back when he was sporting black hair. Sometimes they'd occasionally have those type of conversations:

"How did we meet again Kenny?"

"I think it was that time when you walked into the cafe wearing nothing but sweatpants and slippers."

"That was last Thursday."

"Oh yeah."

But despite the fact that their bond was close, _____ couldn't help but feel that Kananeki was acting rather strangely. He hadn't seen this before but when he looked deeper into this, his balls dropped all the way to the floor. After coming up with the sudden realization, he stood up abruptly from the table he was seated at downstairs and stomped upstairs, earning weird looks from customers and his co-workers.

"Kane-sushi, I've gotta talk to you about something important," _____ knocked his knuckle on the door lightly.

"If this is about Tsukiyama's new battlesuit I don't wanna take any part in it," was the muffled response from the other side of the door. "Door's open by the way."

Turning the knob, he slipped into the half-ghoul's quarters. It was the same as it's always been, except the fact that the windows were wide open and the cool air was blowing through the vents.

Cootie-Catcher-Kaneki sat on his sofa, crisscrossed and reading one of his many books, in which he slipped a bookmark between the pages and tossed it onto the coffee table.

"So what do you need?" he questioned slowly, his eyes narrowing when he caught _____'s fingers twisting the locks on his door.

"I don't need anything," the man muttered. "But I know what you need..." he finished, making a bee-line towards a bookshelf. Kenaki raised an eyebrow, studying the boy who successfully plucked a book from the shelf with a small 'aha!' and made his way back to him. He then smacked the book in front of him.

"The Holy Bible?"

"That's right. You can't hide from me Kenikachi. I know your true identity," _____ hissed, taking a seat in the recliner that was directly across from the confused boy. "I know that you're part of the Illuminati."

_____ has said a lot of stupid things. Things that might even be accurately possible. But Kaneki being in the Illuminati was one of the best things he heard yet. He couldn't help but wonder how the man was gonna pull this off. "Is that so...?" the white haired male shifted in his seat, crossing his arms and legs. "Prove it."

_____ eyes glinted with an unknown emotion. It was too late to back down now. "Take a look at that bible Kanequiche..that is where the lord's stories reside," he drawled. Kaneki took a look at the bible. He wasn't even sure why he had it in the first place. "Now look at me." Grey eyes snapped up to look at said boy. "The Illuminati is bad, Ken-Ken. That's why you need Jesus."

"But I don—"

"Shut up and listen. I'm talking."

He then held back his protests and allowed the man to speak.

"Kaneki Ken. 9 letters in your name, correct?"

Kaneki nodded.

"Doesn't that seem a bit...fishy?" _____ questioned, standing from his seat and walking around the couch, eyeballing the former college student. "Fishy in what aspect _____?"

The accusing boy stopped and stood behind Kaneki.

"Hm..nothing in particular. It's just that there are 9 letters in your name and the title of TG Season 2 is √A.."

"What?"

"And if you replace the A with 9-the number of letters in your name.."

"What are you-"

"YOU'D GET ROOT 9 KEN!"

"_____ STOP IT."

"WHAT'S THE SQUARE ROOT OF 9 KEN?! WHAT IS THE SQUARE ROOT?"

"I-I...!"

"IT'S FUCKING 3. THE NUMBER OF SIDES IN A TRIANGLE."

"THAT MAKES NO SENSE!"

"YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE? THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU WEAR AN EYEPATCH ONLY ONE OF YOUR EYES ARE SHOWING! I TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T HIDE KEN. ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED."

"_____ GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM."

"I FUCKING CAUGHT YOUR ASS! YOU CAN'T HIDE NOW." _____ screeched as the white haired ghoul jumped off of the couch and lunged towards the window, attempting to jump out. But him being him, he couldn't let that happen. The boy latched onto the other whom was trying to squirm out of the hold but it was no use.

Kaneki Ken had been busted.
