"Did you like that?" Uta asked you as he pushed the hair out of your face, when you returned from the bathroom.

"Yes. Yes, I liked that a lot." You breathed out. "I'm just tired."

"How are your piercings holding up? Did you look at them?" He asked as he turned you around. "They look good."

"I'm used to a needle. No one really uses a gun anymore."

"Ghouls use guns, humans use needles." He waved his hand dismissively. "Ghouls don't give a fuck, they just want it quick. If it's not right, then we just do it again. No need to go through a billion needles."

"Oh," You sat down next to him on his couch and he pulled you onto his bare body. "Makes sense."

"See me again, YN." He closed his eyes and smiled. "I had fun."

You sighed.

"Like seriously see you or just like see you to fuck, see you?" You clarified. Those meant very different things.

"Eh. Let's try something in between. As a ghoul, I try not to get too attached too quickly, but as you know already, I care deeply about other ghouls anyway. Why? Got a juicy secret?" He cracked an eye at you and smiled. "Hold up, let me grab an eyeball to suck on, I'm starved."

He extended his body backwards towards a bowl of entrails he had brought into the room, grabbing what he wanted.

"I don't know about 'juicy' but you have to know, otherwise it's just going to suck." Uta offered you a lick, which you graciously accepted.

"I'm all ears, gorgeous. I love secrets." He pulled your head onto his chest and held it there, in an odd act of closeness and acceptance. "Especially ones that physically hurt to spill. Do you think I might hate you after you say it out loud?"

"You totally could." You reasoned with him.

"Might I never want to see you again?" He ate the eyeball and reached grab two more, offering you one, which you took and ate as well.

"It's very possible."

"Oh, dear, I'm afraid I'm getting another erection. You'll have to tell me quickly before I plunge it inside of you again." He laughed sadistically, which made you chuckle, lightening the mood a bit. You could tell that despite his words, he was actually trying to make you feel a little bit better about it. "Oh, one last question, does anyone else know this secret?"

"Itori knows part of it. But the other part... no one knows. I still haven't decided if I'll tell you that yet either thought..." You looked up at his Cheshire grin. "I think not."

"I'm waiting!~" He smiled.

"Fine." You laid on his bare chest, tracing the tattoos beneath your fingers and stared forward, refusing to make eye contact. "I lied to you about being a rich trust fund kid. The reason I don't come out and see you all the time is that I'm busy and I'm being supported by someone else."

"Oh? A sugar daddy perhaps?" He ventured a guess. "Kinky!"

"No..." You smashed your face downward. "A baby daddy."
