                       █║♚ ONE EYED KING.                   he knew. he knew more than he would ever say how much it was important to him to have a good artistic expression. a whole childhood spent by himself and learning how to find ways to get his mother to praise him, he obviously needed some type of way to express himself and hopefully catch her attention. it never went anywhere, but he was a damn good artist, and he would never let someone else tell him he wasn’t.

            “yes, please do,” the words filter out of his mouth before he even knows it, and hes sitting on the bench next to her, looking as she flips through the absurd amount of drawings she had. she was a natural, it seemed, and he didn’t understand why she wasn’t putting herself out there nowadays. he sighed and looked at her, a soft smile on his face.

            “...could i commission you to make a drawing for me?”

                             █║♚ ONE EYED KING.              kaneki let out a small sigh as he looked around the coffee shop. it             seemed that no one here was willing to let the line go by faster,             with people in front of him saving their place in line, yet not even             knowing what they wanted. it was going to get hectic in a few moments,             when they finally figured out that it was going to be lunch hour and             everyone would be yelling at them. of course, they didn’t seem to              care, and spent time just.... waiting. 

            it was their turn in the goddamn line, and kaneki just wanted his coffee.             this wasn’t what he had asked for at all. he sighed, prepared to turn             around and leave, when someone shoved him and he fell backwards into             the person behind him, both of them falling on the floor in a weird way,             kanekis head right next to the other persons head. that was close. he             pulled himself off and held out a hand.                                     ‘ i’m sorry about that. ‘

                        █║♚ ONE EYED KING.              this person must have a really weird roommate, he surmised from             what she was saying. he was sure in his life time he had never met             such a chauvinistic bird, but there were always firsts in every single             thing that happened. he knew that it was probably too much of him to             ask who the girls roommate was, but he knew that it would probably             be fun to get to know this girl and her weird bird. maybe even make             some friends off of them.

            ‘ well, that bird certainly knows good taste since he whistled at me. ‘             he tried for a joke, but he knew he was just being overly self confident,             something he was prone to doing when he felt particularly good that day.             kaneki was really good with animals, and when he heard the whistle again,             he smiled at the bird. ‘ is it okay if i pet it? ‘

                       █║♚ ONE EYED KING.             he extended a twenty dollar bill towards her with a small smile on             his face. he wanted to see how she reacted to being given probably             more than twice he paid for the actual latte. he knew he was probably             going to regret it later, but right now he felt like being a nice person to             this poor maid waitress who probably didn’t like her job very much.                                      ‘ here you go. your tip. ‘

                        █║♚ ONE EYED KING.                kaneki had been very into the process of people watching during his             work-days. he was so enticed by the way they swayed with the crowd,             conformed to everyone doing things around them and oohing at the sites             around them. fishies were apparently entertaining creatures for people to             watch in encased places, so much so that some people even came to             draw the fishies in the cages that they were in.

            one person in particular was really good at drawing, and kaneki was rather             enticed by the amount of people who weren’t acknowledging the absolute             amazingness in front of him. he walked forward and stared behind her as             she sketched out the most she could from the view she was given and the             limited knowledge of how it worked in the area.

            being called out was jarring, though, and kaneki scratched at his cheek             embarrassedly, not knowing how to respond to being told to take a picture.             could he take a picture? no, that was just pure sarcasm in her bite at him,             and he knew that. he put his hands up as a way of showing surrender.                         ‘ ah, no--i---sorry, it’s just really nice of a drawing. ‘

Something’s Fishy // Kaneki && Touko

Touko was skipping out on her Saturday tutoring – not unusual for her in the slightest – to head to Bellevue’s Aquarium. It seemed like a more interesting way to spend her not-so-free day. At least, it was better than sitting at school and listening to a fellow classmate try to catch her up on all the science classes she’d missed due to her negligence.

School would be infinitely more interesting if they would just let her run wild and learn things herself. Being in a classroom and having to hear the teacher drone on and on just didn’t sit well with her. The only class she ever bothered to stick around for was math since she didn’t consider it to be a good idea to skip such an important subject.

As she paid the lady up front and slipped between mothers and fathers corralling their children to enter the first room. Touko sat on a bench in the middle of the room and pulled a sketchbook out from her bag. She wasn’t necessarily the greatest artist around, but she considered herself decent enough. She found it quite relaxing to watch the jellyfish float past while trying to capture their movement on paper.

After a few minutes of sketching she felt a presence behind her which didn’t seem like it planned on movie anytime soon.  Touko gripped her pencil harder.

“Why don’t you take a picture, it’ll last longer.”

           Best thing that has ever happened to you? 

           █║♚ ONE EYED KING.   kaneki looked up from his book, not really knowing what else to do in response to that question rather than blush and look down, fumbling with his hands as he tried to figure out what to say about this. he was sure that out of his different memories there were various things to choose from, various things to name as his best thing to happen to him. he didn’t know if he could name it on the spot, though. it would be too much for him to suddenly name something and have it stick as what people remember him by.

             he looked back down at his book, reading some of the words that flittered across pages way too intimate for him to focus on right now. he remembered how he met itachi, but even then, focusing on a romantic interest as the best thing that ever happened to you kind of was... weird. it made kaneki feel weird, at least. he wasn’t going to claim it was itachi alone, because that simply wasn’t true. he was an important person, and very probably a huge part of it, but not the entirety of it.

            so when he thought of the entirety of bellevue, of all that he had made here, away from the people who had hurt him the most, he smiled. a genuine smile painting lips that open so widely to see how someone would react. it wasn’t often he smiled like this, because he didn’t like showing off his pearly whites. he looked up, laced his hands, and stilled his shaking leg.

            ‘ meeting everyone in bellevue, and getting to know everyone, and even becoming someone important to the community. finding some place i belong, and being able to stick to that. thats the best thing to ever happen to me in my life thus far. ‘

                                    Ever dated someone?

           █║♚ ONE EYED KING.   a small look down at his book again, and he found himself wondering why he was even being asked all of these questions. it’s not like he was someone important to bellevue in general, so why was he being focused on as if he held all the answers to lifes questions? he stood up, closing his book and putting it back on the shelf, before sitting down and crossing his legs in front of the other person who seemed to be interested in him.

            ever....dated someone. he couldn’t say he didn’t ever date anyone, but they were all small flings... some of them were simply toxic relationships on both sides, because kaneki had grown up without knowing how to really love, so he got too hardcore. he had stopped thinking of relationships a long time ago, and he looked up at the person, his eyes hard with emotion.

            ‘ i.....have dated some people. that’s all i’ll say. ‘

                     Watch the movie or read the book?

           █║♚ ONE EYED KING.   kaneki scoffed where he was standing. that was obvious enough, wasn’t it? but if it wasn’t he supposed he would have to give a clear and concise answer about whether or not he read the book or watched the movie. his answer was different for each franchise, though, so it would be rather lengthy on his part, really. he would have to remember to apologize for that later on.

            ‘ okay, so, it really depends on what franchise it is. percy jackson was horrible, really, for reasons that would take an essay. the book was good, but the movie was horrible. harry potter was a good book series, if you don’t count the cursed child, and the movies did the best they could to include all that they could with the budget they were given. i didn’t quite like either the hunger games books or movie, and the same goes for the divergent series, but i always read the book first, so i guess thats my answer. read the book. ‘
