It was a beautiful, relatively quiet morning in Anteiku. It was 11:30 am and only a few tables were filled in the café. Kaneki was currently sweeping the floors while Koma worked behind the counter and Hinami's was sitting at a table, drawing. Touka would arrive later on.

"Come on, Miyu-chan, nows your time to ask him," a girl whispered excitedly to her shy friend.

"Yeah!" Another whispered just as eagerly. 

"Ano... I don't know," Miyu mumbled timidly. Her friends glanced at one another before smirking. Miyu immediately knew what they were planning but was too slow in stopping them.

"Hey, waiter!"

Kaneki looked up, instinctively and searched for the voice.

"Yes? What can I help you with?" He asks, politely, going up to the girls. When he was close enough, Miyu's friends begin to elbow her to confess.

"H-Hello senpai," Miyu greeted, blushing heavily. Kaneki instantly recognised her from his Literature class.

"Ah, you're Watanabe Miyu from my class, right?" Kaneki inquired. If possible she blushed harder.

"Y-Y-Yes!" She practically shouted, jumping up from her seat. "I was, uh, wondering... if you'd like to... go to an amusement park with me?" She blurted out, holding out the tickets for him to take.

Now, it was Kaneki's turn to be flustered, he never thought that such a cute girl would ask him out. He was about to accept when a hand grabbed his shirt, yanking him back.

"GYA!" Kaneki choked. 

"He's busy," Touka stated, glaring at Miyu.

"T-Touka-chan! When did you arrive?" Touka ignored him and focused in burning a hole into Miyu who glared back with just as much ferocity, both her friends joining in.

"I haven't even told him the date," Miyu countered. 

"Doesn't matter, he won't come," Touka argued.

"Why are you telling me this? It's his decision," Miyu growled, her glare growing stronger. Every single patron of the café stopped what they were doing to watch the battle between the two girls.

Kaneki, sensing the animosity between them, tried to intervene but found that they weren't paying attention to him. He didn't know what to do.

"Why do you care if I'm asking him out? Are you his girlfriend?" Miyu asked, hotly. It was now Touka's turn to blush.

"Like hell he is!" Touka screeched, sounding utterly appalled. Kaneki felt depressed once he heard the disgust in her voice but brightened up at her next words. "But, he obviously deserves better than an old hag like you!" Miyu's face turned a deep shade of red and her anger boiled over.

"Like who, you bitch?!" Miyu demanded.

"Like me," a small voice spoke up. Hinami's latched onto her brother's waist.

"Hinami?" Kaneki questioned.

"Screw off, pipsqueak!" Miyu's friend snapped and both Kaneki and Touka didn't care for her tone.

"Don't speak to Hina like that!" Touka roared, scaring the two friends.

"That was uncalled for, please apologise to her," Kaneki ordered, coolly.

Miyu ignored that and turned to Kaneki, "Senpai! Who do you pick?"

"Huh?" Kaneki didn't know what to do and it didn't help that the patrons were cat calling him.

"Whoo Kaneki! You dog!"

"3 ladies on your arm."

"Why does he get all the girls?"

"So who do you pick?" Touka, Hinami and Miyu questioned, getting up in his face. Kaneki looked around, wondering what the hell he did to deserve this, he saw an amused Hide sitting by the counter near a just as amused Koma. Kaneki didn't know that Hide arrived at the café with Touka and watched the whole spectacle in glee, loving how his best friends was worrying over the two.

"Hide..?" Kaneki called out without thinking.

"What?!" The girls yelled out in shock. Hide blushed and looked shocked but he then smirked and sauntered to Kaneki, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.

"Sorry ladies but it seems like Neki belongs to me," Hide placed a kiss on Kaneki's cheek. Kaneki blushed heavily and touched his cheek.

"Whaa?" Everyone gasped.

"I.. I'm still not giving up!" Hinami promised, eyes shining with determination. "I'm going to marry Onii-chan."

"That's good," Hide praised with a huge grin. 

"So you two were dating," Touka concluded like she was expecting this the whole time.

"I can't believe senpai's gay," Miyu whimpered before running out the café, humilated, with her friends following.

In the end, everyone encouraged Kaneki's and Hide's relationship with a bit of teasing. Touka pinched Kaneki's cheek for keeping such a secret from her and Hinami congratulated her big brother and warned Hide to keep him happy. Kaneki left the day feeling mortified, knowing that this day could never be fixed. Hide carried on with the joke and constantly acted like Kaneki's boyfriend, embarassing him at very given moment, especially, around the ladies.
