Work Text:
“The sun looks nice today,” Kaneki stops walking and says, and he looks up at the cloudy sky in confusion.
“There’s no sun there,” he points out, narrowing his eyes at his best friend, who just smiles. Crossing his arms, he shifts closer to stare into blue eyes, “is this some weird thing from your books?”
Kaneki’s smile widens, “no, I don’t think so,” and he sounds a bit amused, so he gets into Kaneki’s face, who blinks at him.
“Are you sure?” He says, voice grave. His lips tingle from Kaneki’s breath, and he focuses on boring his eyes into his best friend’s rather than the way his body reacts.
Kaneki backs away a bit, “... uh… yeah.”
“You’re weird,” Poking his best friend’s arm until he starts walking again, he wonders.
Over the next few weeks, Kaneki says more things about “the sun” (a metaphor or something, because Kaneki likes that sort of stuff), and his face after says he didn’t mean to say that out loud, which means something secret. And, okay, so he’s probably being nosy, but he wants to know!
Considering his track record for Knowing Kaneki, he so far knows nothing about this “sun” business, and everything he guessed so far doesn’t seem to fit. So really, there’s only one solution to this. Pester Kaneki until he gives him more information, or just blurts it out!
Pausing his video game, he looks over at his best friend, who of course is reading. “So, Kaneki…” he starts, and Kaneki tears his eyes away from his book to look at him, “the sun?”
Kaneki squints at him, and there’s a light blush on his face as he turns back to his book. “If you don’t know, I’m not going to tell you,” and sounding faintly embarrassed, which just made him even more curious.
Sighing, he looks to the television, reassuring himself.
It can be a work in progress!
