The Masked Assassin (Tokyo Ghoul x Fem!Reader) {Book 2}

Chapter 8

It was early in the morning when I heard a scream.

I sat up on my couch.

I could still hear the screams.

Kaneki...!
I quickly dashed into his room.

When I arrived, Kaneki was sitting on a chair.

His kakuja wiggled uncontrollably as he sat there.

He must be having a nightmare.

I quickly ran towards him while dodging his kakuja.

I was only a few centimetres away when his kakuja stabbed my ribs.

I fell on Kaneki and took this as a chance to hug him.

My ribs healed as I embraced him.

"It's okay," I whispered in his ear, "I'm here."

Kaneki's kakuja slowly returned into his back.

His eyes opened.

"Y/N..." he whispered.

Kaneki's eyes darted towards my rib.

"Damn it...!" Kaneki mumbled under his breath.

"Hey."

I grabbed his face.

"Look at me," I said, "I'm a ghoul, I heal fast so don't worry. Besides, shouldn't you be worrying about yourself? You had a nightmare and it seems like you're a bit stressed out."
Kaneki instantly hugged me.

"I'm sorry," he said.

I chuckled.

"It's fine," I answered, "I barely felt anything."

I lied, I'm dying insid-

Kaneki tightened the hug.

I sighed and smiled.

"You know, I can sleep with you if you want," I said.

Kaneki released the hug.

"Eh?"
I sat on his sofa.

I then patted the place beside me.

Kaneki instantly sat next to me.

After that, I rested my head on Kaneki's shoulder.

"This might be a bit uncomfortable, but it'll have to do," I said quietly.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Kaneki asked.

I nodded slowly.

"It's better that constantly running from one room to another, right?" I replied with a low chuckle.

I then closed my eyes.

"Good night..." I mumbled quietly.

I then drifted off to sleep.

I was woken up by the feeling of the warm morning sun on my face.

I looked towards my left to see Kaneki sleeping peacefully.

I hold his head while trying to get up from the sofa.

I then carefully lied him down on the sofa.

He didn't move an inch.

I smiled at Kaneki's sleeping face.

He was sleeping with his mouth slightly opened.

So cute...
