In the vibrant lighted streets of the 20th ward, two colleagues crossed an intersection making their way to a very known café.

Yuna blew a puff of air, her nose shone a tinge of red, probably from the cold midnight air. Even though it was noisy and crowded, the teens remained silent. Yuna held the the black haired male's arm too tight. They continue to stroll down the path.

"Oh..." Her lips tug in a smile "Its been years since I've been here," She survey the worn down shops and old streetscapes "Nothing changed much."

Kaneki chuckled to Yuna's observation "It's the 20th ward, nothing really big happen here, that I know of."

The boy said silently, whilst secretly blushing. Uncomfortable thoughts ran through his head. Why in the world is she talking to me? I was invisible during our years in highschool, how could it be that she is talking to me?!

"Hey Kaneki," Yuna stopped suddenly as she pointed to a recognizable building whilst she still held the reddening male's hand "We're here."

A very noticeable awkward grin crossed his pale face, she dismissed it completely."S-So we are."

💠

The small golden bell to the entrance of the cafe chimed in admitting, two young adults — Yuna and Kaneki — as they slowly found their seats sitting across each other thus ordering their drinks to the tired looking waitress. As the night became older, few to no patrons appeared. There were only two customers at that accompanying a barista moment.

A pair of students, a couple of adolescents, maybe the possible item? Who knows...

Minutes ticked by, no one said a word, a vacuum sucked the voice inside the boy known as Kaneki Ken. He tried to grasp any thing to ease the tension that was forming, like boiling water getting hotter by the second.

"Um..Yuna?"

"Hmm?" She gazed up to him, her shocking azure eyes shone curiously.

"So Yuna, where have you been since graduating from highschool?"  Kaneki looked indirectly at Yuna, he can't believe that he was talking to his high school crush, for once in a long time.

"After we graduated, I went abroad with my aunt to finish my studies there.." Yoshikawa sipped her brown coffee as a pause before continuing "I returned in autumn, for a little vacation.

Kaneki, tapped his fingers unto the round table. Still uneasy by this predicament or was is the fact...that he hadn't seen her in a long period of time.

"So.." Yoshikawa started to ask a more safer question because she also sensed the forming tension "By the way where's Hideyoshi? I remember you two being close friends.v

"I think he's probably somewhere looking for ghoul cases and what not." The teenage boy propped up his hand, resting his chin to the balls of his palm, 

He stared up to the window pane beside him, somewhat lost in a little bubble "Hope, he's alright though." Mild tension silence enveloped them once more.

Yuna grasped the bottom of her white dress shirt. Thinking of another good conversation starter.

"Oh, his somewhere of again looking for ghouls and what not"
Kaneki was distantly looking at the window. Stiff silence between the two. A sly smile curled up to her toned face — something popped in her head — a mischievous idea surfaced.

"Hey, hey Kaneki."

"Hmm?" The ebony haired boy, stares in to Yuna's azure eyes.

"Who was the girl you were with before?" Her grin only grew wider seeing the male's blushing features, Yuna got what she wanted, his attention.

"Oh..she was my-" Kaneki's bites his tongue almost spilling the beans, he gazed at his coffee cup not giving her a straightforward answer. Due to; It was only his first date with a real  girl before, of course he couldn't say that to Yuna that would be weird to hear. (She was my first date and now you're the second, Yay!)

"She was my date earlier." the great delusional boy said the truth  (a little) Kaneki rested his chin upon the back of his pale hand, it contrasted with his tickled pink ears, embarrassed at he said to the other girl.

"Oh.. So you don't like her?" Yuna teased with the male once more, that was getting too often  "Erm..well I-" Yoshikawa interrupted the stuttering boy bolting up from her seat propping her hand to the rounded table leaning in close to Kaneki's ear saying her sentence with a flirty tone.

She coughed for a silent sentence "Well, I liked you longer..since highschool."

After that small yet sweet confession, Yuna returned to her seat, miniscule specs of red dotted her olive colored features. The delusional boy's cogs in his head worked quick to produce up a rational answer.

"You l-like me?" He questioned in a high pitched voice he can only do. What a rational answer of eighteen year old male to say to a girl.

"Yes." She said quietly, whilst playing the hem of her shirt. Avoiding his gaze Ken's heart fluttered and body feeling warm inside. This was too good to be true He stated in mind, how could I a plain college student who like books, other than that I am nothing.

"Y-Yuna..do you really like like..you know as in.."

"It was since highschool." She cuts him off "You were too busy reading those large text books, you were maybe... unapproachable and I... was kinda shy back then" She hides her mouth with a hand unable to face him.

Ken nodded in agreement, he was a real book worm since his third year (he was still now).

"And when graduation day, I summed up my courage to try to at least talk to you...but it was to late, I forced shipped to boarding school immediately then..you know what happened."

"I...actually wanted to bump into you to get your attention away from that other girl."

"So meeting me...wasn't a coincidence?" He pipped in.

"No, it wasn't."

"Now..I want to know you better.. Ken is.. That alright?"

In the ebony black hair boy's point of view he would've said the same thing — he lacked what Yuna had — courage to push through.

"I still think...that...I have feelings for you too..Yuna." Ken returns the favor, a childish smile placed upon his lips.

•~•°~•~•~•°~••~•~°•~

Days yet again passed, and around that time the male, Ken Kaneki laid on his bed. A plastic object pressed against his ear.

"Hide, Do you still remember Yuna Yoshikawa?" The male asks his closest friend. "From highschool" He speaks to his small rectangular phone.

"Yeah...why'd you asked?" Hide says on the other end of the line.

"You've got to meet her." he insisted.

"Ah.. Yeah maybe sometime later, I'm late again because of you." Hideyoshi added.

"Sure, bye then." saying his goodbyes to Hideyoshi — he pressed the end button with little effort, stood up from where rested and slid the plastic into his bag ready for a new day ahead.

He was happy as a jun bug in July, he was with a girl who was somewhat perfect in his eyes. The kind personality, feminine physique and that delightful laugh. Oh...he was happy, some may say, mutual understanding?

He didn't even like Rize Kamishiro anymore, the beautiful girl who he pursued days ago. What had happened when he saw those electric blue eyes of hers in that darkly lit alley with the girl-

His thoughts flew out as the TV blared a few frightening news, the picture-box shown a male about his late thirties a blue polo shirt covered his abdomen accompanying brown long pants with the same withered features from stresses of work.

"—And in other news the binge eater ghoul has been rampant over the streets of the 20th ward since last week" The TV emitted scary tales, as it is set on to a grey alley. "Citizens are advised to be cautious especially young men that are ranging from seventeen to twenty one years of age" He takes a small breather.

"And now here's a word from first-class investigator Nakata Kiyoshi." The screen shifted its focus on a male well above nineteen possibly his early twenties, Nakata's short black hair styled up in a slick back, his blue irises pierced through the screen unlike Yuna's playful ones, those showed hostility. Kiyoshi's features shown a single expression; grave seriousness.

"Hello everyone, as Mr.Nakiko said before, be on the look out for danger is anywhere, be on guard and report any anomalies you may find " A short pause.

"We...no I will bring the binge eater to its grave," He nods to the side and the camera signaling his end of his share of info

"Thank you, Mr.Nakata  for that warning" He nods to the investigator  "Also a another story down at the 19th ward-"

Kaneki grabbed the remote thus turning off the bearer of bad news - the television. He shakes his head disapprovingly "What has the world gotten into?" Kaneki reached for his bag that lay in front of the table next to the TV/

"Monsters...they are monsters that are in the shape of man how could they should just-"

Oshiete yo, oshiete teyo, sono shikumi wo~~

Kaneki's phone rings from his bag, he scrambles in time unable to see the ID caller.

"Hello?" The other end of the line was non other than Yuna Yoshikawa herself "Ah Kaneki-kun, could you maybe meet me?"
Her voice seemed off to him.

"Sure why not?"

"Alright I'll be right here at Anteiku, see you later"

"Bye then" as he said that, Yoshikawa ended the call,

💠

It was cold —even if it was mid autumn— The male wore a thick brown dress coat, his nose slightly redding to the new temperatures on the streets towards Anteiku.

He nears the rustic coffee shop, a few meters in his grey irises sees a certain tuff of hazelnut hair, near one of the window panes  it was her, reading a small green pocket book.

Yoshikawa Yuna

A small grin inched upon his pale features, how beautiful she was. For a unknown reason, he waves at her, not hoping for a reply  he wanted too, even though he looked like a complete idiot to the passerby's near him.

To small luck — she notices — Yoshikawa shifted her irises from the text, her eyes to the boy, the sweet and comforting smile shown again. Yuna mouthed a "Hi" and continued reading the book. Kaneki strides towards the entrance, up the small stairs Until, encountering a certain indigo haired woman,

Kamishiro Rize

The male continued his destination

"Mr.Kaneki." Kamishiro pipped in, Ken stops abruptly thus turning to the female.

"Konnichiwa...Ms.Rize.." He shifts his stare from time to time, not wanting to see her purple eyes any more. He feels uncomfortable to see the maiden.

"Could we meet up? Maybe... Seven thirty here at Anteiku?" She smiles, like any other smile she plasters to her features like always,  she seemed strangely nice,

On this day that is.

"M-maybe Rize," The male says in a almost high pitched sound "I'm meeting someone.." Kaneki gestures his pointer finger to the oak door above the stair case "so...I'll be on my way"

"Oh..ok then bye-bye Kaneki~" Rize, batted her eyelashes at him — clearly flirting —  unbeknownst to the boy, to the (almost) thick headed male. Ken made his way up again leaving Kamishiro Rize behind. Still grinning

"Oh well... I guess I'll have to play with Miss Yuna first " The smile she shown to everyone, contained malice within. She was really good at hiding it.

"I'll get you soon Yoshikawa. " She chortled.

💠

Before his entrance, the scent of coffee lingered unto the air  the oaken door he opened its with little force. Scanning his the familiar surroundings a new sensation collected his perception, the cozy atmosphere this café emitted warmth and comfort  Anteiku was the only who made this types of vibes.

The same hazelnut ruly hair, her blue irises entranced, Yoshikawa read intently changing her expression from time to time.

"She's kinda a lot of me.."

Faint —rock— music it lingered to the bustling shop that sold coffee, Yoshikawa still intently reading her small book. He walks along to get to her side thus tapping her shoulder, to gain some attention.

"Hmm...?" She hummed.

"Hello Yuna" He greets with his signature grin.

"Hi Ken" She offers him a seat across her, he happily takes it. Yuna, closes her book and puts away the mechanical pieces the earphones snugly in her small bag.

"I'm really glad you came" Yoshikawa started the convo with her charming voice. Whilst intertwining her fingers together.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He gave a low chortle.

"Ha ha..thanks" She laced her fingers together "Now, I was wondering.." The temp dropped to a chilling degree, Her bubbly persona switched to a serious one, in almost a millisecond turn.

"Yuna...?" The male tilts his head. While, starring up at her azure irises.

"Can..we?" Her lips trembled, Yoshikawa's grip tightened on her hands.

"W-What is it?" He murmurs, audibly croaking. A bead of sweat slid down his temple. As it begun, the small cafe turned silent to him  Yuna jerks her  to him, intertwining her slender fingers to his.

The two hearts within the two beated — extremely — fast.

"C-Can I ask you o-out? On a.." She breaths in for air as she gazed to male who held her hands.

Seconds immediately passed.

A sudden jolt shocked her nerves as Ken reeled in her hands closer to him, a child like grin crossed his features.

"You know Yuna..this is my first time to be asked by a girl and..I'm guessing there's no reason to deny this..." Another signature smile crosses his pale face "Especially to you" He presses his small lips to her hands.

"I really like you...too" he whispered, the male's warm breath brushed up Yoshikawa's tanned skin "And I would love too..."

Her smile inched up to her face, small colors of pink splashed upon Yuna's features, 

"Really!?" She almost made a scene if the boy hadn't stopped her in time.

His grin too grew wider "Yes, really Yuna" He nodded happily.

💠

It was night time, as they walked home, bellies filled with pastries and medium amounts of potent coffee (which will be a result to being awake through the rest of the night. ) Yoshikawa held Kaneki's sleeve. A close blush covered the two's features. He — Ken Kaneki — looked straight ahead not knowing what to do at that, only one thing came into mind.

"Hey...Y-Yuna..."

"Hmm?" The brown haired female continued walking as she held Ken's arm.

"I-Ill pick you up at around three at Anteiku tomorrow" He gave out a small amount of air "Would you like that?" The clanking of their shoes over the pavement only gave out as response to Kaneki's answer.

Yoshikawa blew another puff of white hot air through her lips, her nose gave off a certain color of pinkish red. As a result from the cold atmosphere "I promise I'll be there" Moments passed yet again. As they reached The female's home.

A small suburban house almost outside the range of the 20th ward, it was dark out, the streetlights flickered throughout the long stretch of the homes. Yet, none shone in the residence of Yoshikawa, Kaneki paid no heed.

She held the male's hand firmly one more time before going in her house, the small smile never even leaving her expression.

"Thank you for the date, Ken.."

"No, Yuna it is me who I should be thankful for."

"But you.." She gazed on the concrete side walk "Kaneki Ken...I have to tell you something.." Yoshikawa's firm gripped tightened even more.

She raises her heat to him, those azure blue irises drew in most of his attention, other than that sweat beaded her fore head, hearts of two young ones thumped immensely quick. The black haired male could do nothing but, drown at her piercing eyes.

A fast action startled the male for Yoshikawa grabbed Ken's collar thus pushing him nearer to the female, her warm breaths tingled through his skin.

"K-Ken..I .." Yoshikawa's voice trembled in every word she emitted "I think I'm...liking you." The female tiptoed to reach his eye level. He pulled him Ken closer and closer.

What should I do?! What should I do?! Abrupt thoughts coursed through his mind Take the chance and do it or..people might see us ..."

"Y-Yuna.."  He panted for any reply, the male wanted this stuff but not too fast with a girl he only just met a few days ago but having Yuna being his crush he wanted to, what a conflict this was turning to him What should he-  

Yoshikawa Yuna gave out another puff of warm air out of her small mouth, her heart in synch with the male she held tightly. One powerful tug and she pulled him deeper thus...

Pecking the ebony haired awkward Kaneki. Well not on the spot of reddened lips..but on the flushed cheeks. Not exactly what Ken wanted anyways.

It was close for about five seconds flat that it lasted but the sensation never wavered after, the female broke the connection.
The two stress down unto the rough pavement. Unable to speak to one another.

His cheeks burned ferociously it even burned without him noticing, Yuna's bangs covered her shinning azure irises, She too completely silent.

Moments yet again pass.

"Goodnight Ken.." And with that she turned to face the small house, slowly walking her feet made crunching sounds everywhere she stepped. Not awkward silence for nothing.

Yoshikawa Yuna took a glance to the male, her small pinkish lips trembled.  Her body became stiff and breathing becoming ragged through every moment she with him.

Her feet dragged along until a —very large — pebble stubbed her toes making her outbalanced thus doing odd practices for control of her body. Ken Kaneki, looked through the females actions eyes widening for her safety.

"Yuna!" He yelled.

She froze mid way, from hearing the male's concerned voice. Instead of an answer she dashed through the front door immediately fishing out her small key and jamming it to the key hole. Lightning agility kicked in, Yuna was in leaving a stunned Kaneki in the front of her lawn.

He sighed, Yuna can be a little clumsy at times in He shook his head sadly I shouldn't have let her make the first move..I should've been the one to do this...I'm such a coward" he clasped his right hand to emphasize his determination.

"I'm going to..." He took a del breath again "I'll make my move tomorrow and that's a promise to keep" He reminded himself over and over to do the right thing, to be brave like Yuna Yoshikawa.

He marched home —pulling out a all nighter to plan his very special date with the female.
