Okay this was supposed to be a fan request where Kaneki is the one jealous but me being the dumbass I am I made Ayato the one jealous instead, I'm an idiot. And im not gonna delete cuz it took so long 😂😂😂

Intro; Ayato has feelings for Kaneki and he doesn't know and Ayato isn't going to tell him. So he has to deal with the struggle of seeing Kaneki be happy with someone else and not him.
(Touken?)

Ayato hates Kaneki. But not for the reasons he thought he would hate him for. Much to his disappointment and irritation he found out that he gotten attached to the older male, new feelings and emotions raising up in him as he spent more and more time with the white haired male. He hates the way Kaneki acts around Touka. The stupid way he compliments her and the way he gives her more attention than he gives to him.

At first Ayato brushed it off as brotherly love and his desire to protect his sister at all costs but after a long time he finally came to terms that he had feelings for Kaneki. Thats was why he hated the way the two interacted and not because he's protective over Touka but oh how he wishes that it was that way and not the other.

But it's not like he can tell Kaneki that he likes him right? It's so painfully obvious that the older likes his sister and not him. At least that's what the impression he got. The way Kaneki smiles at her and laughs with her makes Ayato's heart throb painfully in despair, he hates being the love-sick teen he is.

"Oi! Wake up dumbass!" Is usually the first thing that Ayato wakes up too followed along with loud bangs on his door, of course this coming from his oh so lovely older sister; Touka. The knocks on his door got louder and more persistent, it got to the point that it forced Ayato to get out of his bed and swing open the door to face the person who was interrupting his sleep. "I'm awake for fuck sakes." Ayato hissed; death staring his older sister for all he's worth.

"Whatever. Just get downstairs in a couple minutes." Touka replied before storming off, Ayato rolled his eyes as he slammed the door closed, "whatever." Ayato mumbled as he walked over to his closet. He swung out open the doors and pulled out his day to day clothes and threw them onto the bed carelessly before changing into them. After changing, he ran his hand threw his wavy dark blue locks; straightening out the mess on his head before grabbing his phone and walking out of his room to head downstairs.

As Ayato walked downstairs loud chattering filled his ears; he sighed as he realised who they were coming from, the two he definitely didn't want to see together. As soon as Ayato stepped downstairs, the chattering immediately stopped, the two looking over at him. "Oh, good morning Ayato-Kun." Kaneki greeted with a smile that had sent Ayato's heart thumping. "Yeah mornin' or whatever." Ayato replied looking off to the side as he felt his cheeks heat up.

"I was about to make coffee, would you like one?" Kaneki offered but as Ayato opened his mouth to reply Touka cut him off. "Thought you would never ask idiot!" Touka teased; punching Kaneki's arm playfully, "Oh, uh alright. What about you Ayato-Kun?" Kaneki asked again to which Ayato nodded in reply. "Sit with us?" Kaneki asked gesturing to the chair that was next to Touka, so Ayato sat in front of him. Kaneki was behind the counter and Touka and -soon to be- Ayato was siting on the other side.

"Yeah sure whatever." Ayato grumbled as he sat down, Touka looked over and poked her tongue at him, him doing the same back. Kaneki looked up and chuckled at the two, looking between the siblings fondly, which both glared at him in return. Kaneki raised his hands in the air mockingly in surrender before giving his attention back to the milk he was supposed to be pouring into the cups.

"There you go." Kaneki announced; placing two cups in front of the siblings, the way Kaneki placed Touka's first didn't go unnoticed by Ayato but he did choose to ignore it. Ayato stared down at his cup watching the steam blow up into his face and up his nostrils as Touka and Kaneki started to chat aimlessly at his side. Looking up and over to his side, he stared at the light blush and smile that was painted on his sisters face as she gazed at Kaneki; who was smiling back.

Ayato bit his cheek and looked back at his cup; his shoulders slumping in distress, his stomach dropping as jealously and grief washed over him. Kaneki who had noticed the lack of communication coming from Ayato looked over at the younger and frowned at the down look Ayato was showing. "Are you alright, Ayato-Kun?" Kaneki asked; pulling Ayato out of his daze. "Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." Ayato replied tracing his finger tip along the frame of the cup.

"You're just sad you haven't seen your little girlfriend." Touka teased, pinching Ayato's cheek cheekily "Oi! She's not my girlfriend!" He replied whacking her hand away. "Who?" Kaneki asked; Ayato raised an eyebrow at the sharper tone of his voice when he asked. "Hinami." Touka replied, Ayato rolled his eyes and put his cheek on his hand, looking off to the side 'I wouldn't worry about me liking her of all people.' Ayato thought as Touka chuckled at his side at his behaviour.

"I see." Kaneki replied; lifting the cup to his mouth to take a sip, Ayato looked over and eyed Kaneki in corner of eye sight. Trying to see if it had provoked an reaction out of the older male which he was debating if it had or not, but he sure did hope it did. "Don't worry Kaneki, I won't let my shitty little bro hurt our precious little Hinami." Touka comforted; shooting Ayato an glare.

"Whatever." Ayato spat rolling his eyes in irritation, pulling out his phone and unlocking to give himself a distraction. Kaneki looked from Ayato to Touka with a kind smile, "Touka-chan? Can you go check if Hinami-chan is awake?" Kaneki asked sweetly, with a loud groan Touka got up and left; mumbling insults as she did. Once it was just the two males the room was dead silent till Kaneki broke it after feeling how tense and awkward the silence felt.

"Do you like Hinami-Chan, Ayato-Kun?" Kaneki asked looking up at the younger with a slight tilt of his head, Ayato groaned loudly throwing his hands up in the air "No!" He replied with a heavy roll of his eyes. 'I like you dumbass' Ayato wanted to say but bit his lip to stop himself. "I see. Well, that's good." Kaneki replied; looking down at his half full mug, "What? worried I might hurt your 'precious little Hinami?'" Ayato asked, changing his voice to mimic Touka's at the end which triggered Kaneki to smile.

"....Something like that..."Kaneki replied; his fingers dancing on the surface of the table, drawing random patterns. As Ayato raised an eyebrow at him Touka came stomping down the stairs. "Kaneki." Touka called; grabbing both males attention, "Yes?" He replied, "Help me get Hinami out of bed, she won't get out." Touka ordered; grabbing Kaneki's hand and forcing him to walk with her. As the two went off, Ayato stared at their joined hands before looking off the side with a frown when they were out of sight.

"Noooooo!" Hinami whined as she was carried by both Touka and Kaneki down stairs, Ayato looked over and frowned at the sight. "What the fuck are you two idiots doing?" He asked which caused Hinami to whine "Ayato-Kun, help me!" She complained, trying to worm her way out of Kaneki and Touka's hold on her. She huffed out as she was plopped down onto the floor.

"Meanies! Anyways! Good morning, Ayato-Kun." Hinami greeted with a beaming smile as she moved to sit next to him after showing her tongue to the olders, "Yeah, mornin" Ayato mumbled in reply; watching as Touka dragged Kaneki by the hand to one of the tables so they could sit together. Hinami frowned at the look Ayato was showing and followed his eyes and found what was causing Ayato to show such an expression. "I'm sorry." Hinami lowly whispered, Ayato shrugged and grunted in reply "it's whatever." He replied placing his cheek on his hand.

"But Ayato-Kun-" Hinami started but stopped when a giggle echoed around the room, she frowned as she watched Ayato's face fall into sadness. "Asshole!" Touka yelled out playfully, reaching over to hit him on his shoulder while Kaneki burst out in chuckles. Ayato bit his lip and turned his head away to the side so it wasn't visible to anyone.

Ayato quickly looked over at his shoulder at the smiling face of Kaneki and frowned, 'why can't you be like that with me, idiot?' Ayato asked himself silently before turning back to stare down at the black liquid in his cup. Feeling miserable.
