Touka POV

After Kaneki left, Yoriko had visibly relaxed. I stood on the balcony, gazing into the darkness.

"Aaaghh...!"

It was faint cry in the distance, but I knew the voice all too well. "Kaneki..." I gasped. I turned to Yoriko. "I'm sorry, I'll explain later." I rambled, stepping over the railing and pushed off to land on the rooftop of the next building.

'Something's not right...' 

I froze. In front of me, lay Kaneki. Writhing in agony and choking on the very air around him. I collapsed to my knees beside his now unmoving form, tears streaming from my eyes. "I'm sorry..." I whispered. 'It's all my fault...'

"T-touka..?" A voice rasped. "Kaneki!" I cried, throwing myself into his arms. "I was so scared! I thought you were gonna die on me! I- Mmfh!"

I was silenced by Kaneki's cool lips pressed firmly against my own. I closed my eyes and tilted my head, kissing him back. Despite the cold night air, a rush of burning heat shot through me. Breathless, I whispered two words: "Take me."
