It’s like the collision of two suns!
“So you’re Touka-chan’s best friend.” Hide slides besides Yoriko. Across the room, Takeomi’s eyes narrow.
Yoriko rolls her eyes at her husband before turning to Hide. “And you’re Kaneki’s. I’m so glad they’re married. I’ve been teasing her about them since I first saw him in her apartment!”
“I told him to date her the first time he took me to Anteiku!” Hide cackles, then sighs. “Unfortunately, he was interested in Rize at the time, and we all know how that one worked out.”
“Eh,” says Yoriko. “If he hadn’t become a ghoul, would he and Touka be happy right now?” She grins. “I hope you’re prepared for me being the crazy aunt.”
“I’m going to be the fun uncle. All the toys!” Hide rubs his hands together.
He likes Yoriko. She hands him smiles and sunshine, and doesn’t flinch at his scars. They should have met and intervened for their friends years earlier.
“That’s okay. Takeomi can be the boring, dependable one,” Yoriko jokes. “I’ll take the baby on adventures. And, somehow, I’ll find something they can eat and bake it for them.”
“This sounds important,” Hide agrees.
“Ooh, what do you like to eat?” Yoriko tilts her head. “See, I can’t help with fighting or anything. So I will feed you all in the meantime.”
