Chapter 9- A Day With Arima

Third person POV
After some time walking and talking from the hospital, Arima had brought Yuki to her favorite cafe. Yuki was quite shocked that Arima remembered that this was her favorite cafe, but smiled at his thoughtfulness.

"I didn't think you would remember Arima!" Smiling and giggling lightly, Armia couldn't help but smile in return too. Yuki's happiness is just contagious and Arima was willing to embrace that.

They were both seat next to a window with some privacy away from other customers. Yuki was really excited to eat some of her favorite dishes and she was especially excited to find out more about Arima ever since he left and began overworking himself with some top notch business.

"May I take-Oh! Are you two in a relationship? You two look so cute together if I may say so...! Miss, you have a rather handsome man! Would you like the couple special?"

Blushing madly, Yuki immediately shut down the waitress in distress as she stuttered from her flustered self.

"N-no! Yo-you have it all w-wrong! We're not a couple! We're just really, really good friends!Can we just order!?" Yuki shouted, gaining some attention from fellow customers.

Slamming the table and standing up, Yuki's pale face was now scarlet red that it could put a chili pepper to shame. In fact, it can even put a ruby to shame with the shade of Yuki's face.

Yuki immediately sat herself down and avoided eye contact with Arima. Especially since she can feel Arima's watchful eyes on her, Yuki wanted to crawl into a hole to hide in forever.

"I'm so sorry! I just got carried away! So, what would you two like? Would you like to try our couple's breakfast special?"

Feeling her blood boil in frustration and embarrassment once more, Yuki exploded and started throwing her fists up.

"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE! WHAT PART ABOUT THAT DO YOU NOT-" Getting cut off mid sentence, Yuki blushed even more when Armia had covered her mouth and lips with his hand. The waitress had also blushed madly at this scene and nodded her head with eyes that shined the words, "They have to be dating! I've watched a ton of anime and read tons of shoujo and smut mangas to know!"

"She'll have the omelette special and super deluxe ice cream mapo afterwards. I will have black coffee and the regular omelette."

Staring shock, Yuki was moved that Armia remembered her favorite breakfast dish here. She was even more happy that he ordered the super deluxe ice cream mapo for her.

"R-right away!" Blushing and grinning madly, the waitress ran off into the kitchen before almost tripping on her self.

In the waitress' mind: "OH MY GOD! They look perfect together! Their personalities are opposites which makes this better! They must be dating secretly! She denies the relationship way too much! I bet they already had their love made too! Just like in the manga I'm reading right now! They are madly in love at home!"

While drooling in dirty fantasies, the waitress was stopped by her manager.

"What the hell are you doing?" Flinching big time, the waitress shook her head and dismissed her behavior and ran off to the restroom to fix her hair from the frantic shaking she was doing from the moe moe flowers.

"Oh my god...! That was terrible! I feel like I need to go to the hospital again! How the hell were you so calm!?" Growling at Arima, Yuki pouted angrily at how unfair it is that Armia wasn't phased by this at all.

"It was entertaining to me. You're still beet red." Blushing at how Arima was intensely staring at her, Yuki awkwardly turned her head to her right to look out the window. There she saw people smiling with loved ones while she was...well different... Her life will now be renewed since the day she was in an accident she could not fully recall.

"Hey Arima... The doctor and nurses have been saying that I was in coma because of a ghoul attack... Do you suppose know any info since you're one of the tops in the CCG? I mean... It's been awhile since I've been in a coma..."

Arima can clearly see the distant and lost look in Yuki's silver eyes. Arima knows more than what he should know of Yuki and he knew to not tell of her just yet.

"I'm sorry... I cannot tell you of any classified information just yet." Yuki puffed out her left cheek and mumbled incoherent words.

"But..." Yuki's ears enlarged and immediately started listening more intently, "... I'm willing to offer you to work as a ghoul investigator."

".......?.....!......?!....!?" The confused and bewildered face of Yuki was beyond shock. She was so speechless that she wasn't able to deny the waitress' crazy couple dream goals while coming to deliver their food.

"Enjoy! I hope you two have a lovely time together!" Skipping away into the distance, the manager smacked the waitress' head with a clipboard and walked away into his office.

Yuki was still in shock of his proposal that she didn't even bother arguing with the waitress. All she could do was stutter incoherent words.

"U-um... Kishou?... Am I hearing things correctly or am I still in a coma?" Tapping her head, Yuki closed her eyes and held her head upward and chuckled nervously.

"I said that I'll be willing to offer you to work as a ghoul investigator. You have amazing abilities and you're quite sharp despite possibly being able to be naive and simpleminded at times."

"... Shut up you overly tall Death God of the CCG...*Sigh*... I can't believe this. Wouldn't I have to go to the academy for like years or something?"

"No. I can give you special permission to skip ahead because I know of you are plenty enough ready. You would make a great asset to improving our world. Would you like to take up this offer?"

Seeing Arima's grin-smirk-hunk smile, Yuki was at lost for words. She knows that she's quite capable of herself, but she's never thought of fighting ghouls face-to-face.

"I don't know. Sorry... I'll think about it. Just give me some time..."

"Of course. Sorry for troubling you Yuki." Eating in silence for a few minutes, they began to change the subject to their new accomplishments so far. Oh how much there is to tell within the time they haven't seen each other.

Timeskip
"Thank you so much Kishou ! I had fun! Thanks for the ice cream too! We should hang our more like this when you're not too busy! Maybe you can actually meet my brother one day!"

With a bright smile, Yuki gave Arima a hug knowing that they'll definitely see each other soon again.

"I would love to spend some more time together too. Have a good night's rest, Yuki." Turning away from the opposite direction of where Yuki would step forward too, she felt a sudden urge of fear. Her feet became cold and her heart stopped for a second. Her breath hitched and she quickly grabbed the hem of Arima's coat.

"W-wait! I um, stay a bit longer....please?... I am not sure if I'm ready to walk to walk alone right now..." Although Arima couldn't see Yuki's expression because of her bangs, he could feel her hands trembling. His eyes softened and he took hold of her right hand.

"Tell me the directions to your house. It's been a while from the last time I took you home." Yuki felt guilty yet slightly relived. She didn't want to to waste his time on her since she knew he was a busy person, but she didn't want to feel like she would lose him if she didn't take this chance to spend a bit more time with him.

She felt weak that she was showing such side to him again, but Yuki couldn't help but want to feel secure. It was a bit embarrassing for her to ask him such favor especially after he offered her a job to be a ghoul investigator because it makes her look fearful of everything, but she did feel less scared of the trauma she had been through.

Yuki pointed out the directions of each turn in the car and was slightly blushing with the thought of being together with Arima once again after so long. It made her feel like she had butterflies in her stomach.

Once they reached in front of her apartment, Yuki thanked Arima once again. Still, Arima had also gotten out of the car and casually walked in front of her.

Arima saw Yuki's bright red cheeks and silently chuckled to himself with a small grin of amusement lacing over his lips.

"I-I'm sorry Kishou... I made you take me home when you're probably really busy. I just need time to recover from that... It hurts to not remember it at all... I'll also think about that offer."

"Lift up your head Yuki. It's fine. I just want you to be safe and to smile." Arima supported Yuki's face and wiped away the crystal tears that wanted to shed and fall. He pulled her in gently and put his arms around Yuki.

"Here." Arima pulled out his black colored cellphone and gave it to Yuki.

"I had my number changed recently because of business." Arima said.

"Oh, here!" Yuki gave him her sky blue cellphone with a cute keychain that Kaneki gave her. It was a custom made keychain where she had a picture of Ken and herself together, smiling. Arima saw the keychain and it was obvious it was the brother Yuki had mentioned.

"Her you go Kishou!" Yuki handed him his phone back, her voice enchanting Arima.

"You have my number now, so call me whenever you feel down." Arima said, leaning over and placing a kiss on top of Yuki's forehead.

"..........." Yuki was frozen in place, her eyes wide.

*POOF*

"O-o-ok-okay! Will do!" Yuki squeaked, saluting with a bright red face. Her late reaction caused Arima to chuckle to himself as he waved goodbye and drove off.

"... Oh geez!" Yuki's knees gave in as she dropped onto the ground.

"My heart can never be calm around him~!" Yuki squealed as she stood up and walked toward her apartment.

.......

"I wonder...what would become of Yuki?" Arima muttered to himself.
