Back at it with the angst and because tumblr’s a hungry little shit ^^;; Maybe Keijin and Kiyoko having a conversation post-canon (similar to the one where Aura came out to her), where they talk about falling in love with their best friends? Maybe in the wake of Mizurou’s engagement to the woman he hands up marrying, Keijin needs to at least tell someone, so he doesn’t say anything to Mizurou so he doesn’t “ruin” his best friend’s life?

“Mizurou’s engaged. Our squad is happy,” Keijin says calmly. 

He and Kiyoko Aura meet up every month or so, for coffee, some of Yoriko’s delicious goodies, and discussing their now very-different lives. 

Kiyoko eyes her former squad member. “Your squad, but not you?”

“I’m happy for him,” Keijin insists.

“But sad for yourself.” Kiyoko sips her coffee.

Keijin chokes. He turns bright red. “Uh – you – what are you -”

“Keijin, I know,” Kiyoko says. “I am gay myself.”

“Huh?” Keijin drops his melon pan. His mentor, the one he looks up to – has the same issue as him? “Oh.”

“It’s okay, you know. The sooner you accept yourself, the better.” Kiyoko sighs, staring at her coffee. “It’s funny. Even with all of CCG’s sins, the one regret I keep with me is not telling my best friend I was in love with her.”

“I knew it could never happen,” says Keijin.

“Why? You’ll never know who’s queer until everyone’s open about it.” Kiyoko raises an eyebrow. “And if you want everyone to be open, you have to be open yourself.”

“Says someone who didn’t tell me until now!” Keijin squeaks.

“Point taken. But you’re young still.” Kiyoko points at Keijin. “Don’t ignore the next opportunity.”

Keijin swallows the lump in his throat. The next. Because he will never have Mizurou now. He will never risk their friendship now that Mizurou is engaged, a and Kiyoko knows that. 

“I won’t,” he vows, to himself as much as Mizurou.

Since we know the afterlife exists in tokyo ghoul, what about Kiyoko dying and then reuniting with Kasuka in the afterlife? And then Kiyoko finally telling Kasuka that she loves her? I love everything you write about them its so cute!

Aww thank you!

Kiyoko’s been waiting for this her entire life, and after.

The moment she steps into the soft world of heaven, or whatever it is, and sees Kasuka’s face.

“Hey.” She waves nervously.

Kasuka is waiting by the gate, in the exact same pose she used to adopt when she waited for Kiyoko outside her apartment, so that they could walk to CCG together. “Been a while.”

“It has.” Kiyoko sighs. “A lot changed.”

“I know.” Kasuka smiles at Kiyoko’s restored legs, because there are no missing limbs in heaven. “I’m proud of you.”

Kiyoko smiles. Tears sting her eyes. She heard once that there were no tears in heaven, but she’s glad to know that’s not the truth; there’s tears of happiness and overwhelming emotion and even guilt here, tears of catharsis, and it’s perfect.

“Don’t you have something to tell me?” Kasuka tilts her head. “Kureo knows, too. It’s okay, up here.”

Kiyoko’s mouth dries. “You – saw -”

“We know, Kiyoko. Here, nothing is perfected, but our understanding is.” Kasuka reaches out her hand.

“I loved you all my life.” Kiyoko’s eyes widen. “I still do.” 

Kasuka throws herself into her friend’s arms. “Kiyoko, it’s okay. It’s okay.”

They both cry, for what might have been on earth, for Kasuka’s early departure, for Kasuka, who doesn’t regret falling for Kureo at all, for Kiyoko, who lived alone for the rest of her life.

But it’s okay. It’s really okay. Because they have heaven now. 

In reference to a dream I had when I finally got some sleep… maybe Aura coming out to Kiyoko like the terrified smol he is, and finding out he doesn’t need to be afraid? Reassures him that she’ll love him regardless, and then maybe telling him that she’s gay, too, so he knows that she really means it?? Bonus points if she threatens to punch his parents if they have anything other than kind words for him~!

I like this.

“Hi Aunt.” Aura bows his head. He knows Higemaru and Hsaio are listening outside, and Urie just gave him a pep talk. But still. He wants to run away from this conversation.

“What’s wrong, San-chan?” Kiyoko leans forward.

“I’m gay?” Aura cringes, and pulls away, as if expecting her to hurt him. 

“Oh, San-chan.” Kiyoko frowns. “There’s nothing wrong with that.”

“Really?” Aura gulps.

“Yes. I love you regardless of whatever you are or do.” Kiyoko brushes his bangs out of his eyes. “I’m gay, too.”

Aura’s mouth falls open. “You’re kidding.”

“I’m not.” She laughs. 

Aura laughs, too, with relief. She really, really doesn’t view him as aberrant? 

“Do your parents know?” Kiyoko sips her tea.

“No.”

“Well.” Kiyoko pauses. “I’ll have to punch them if they’re unkind.”

Aura chuckles nervously.

“Do you want me to be there?” Kiyoko smiles understandingly.

Aura nods silently, and his aunt pulls him closer to envelope him in a hug. “You are very loved, San-chan.”

Coming clean about my guilty pleasure ship Kiyoko/Itori… Any headcanons for their being a possibility~? <3 Otherwise, ALL of the Houji/Tatara headcanons, if you can't think of any of Kiyoko/Itori~

Kiyoko/Itori

– it probably began with Itori volunteering to slip Kiyoko information on the clowns. 

– Kiyoko was right not to trust her, because of course her information was BS.

– But they’d already become friends. Kiyoko cried upon hearing of Itori’s miscarriage, and Itori loved Kiyoko’s stories of her nephew.

– Eventually, Itori asked why Kiyoko kept meeting with her. “Because you’re fun,” Kiyoko replied. “Funny, because I say the same for you.”

– They kissed, and occasionally Kiyoko sees Itori watching from a distance when she’s in battle. Itori respects her girl’s power too much to interfere, but she’s there just in case.

– Itori visits Kiyoko in the hospital and gets Kiyoko to laugh for the first time after losing her legs. And then Itori cries with her, too. 

Houji/Tatara

– Even in their breakup phase, Houji will still get text messages from random throwaway phones. They usually contain trolling references to his relationship with Tatara. 

– Tatara has, of course, made all of Aogiri buy cheap phones to troll Houji with.

– Tatara once left his mask at Houji’s. He returned to see Houji wearing it, which he found unbearably sexy.

– Who kisses who first? Houji will say Tatara. Tatara will say Houji. 

– Both are wrong. They were giving each other sultry glances and Eto, at that point a young upstart trying to recruit Tatara, banged their heads and lips together. 

Kiyoko breaking a little whenever Akira calls her “Aunt Kiyoko”? Maybe with a little of Kiyoko trying to comfort Kureo in the wake of Kasuka’s death?

“Aunt Kiyoko!” Ten-year-old Mado Akira darts out her front door, and rushes up to throw her arms around CCG’s most advanced woman investigator. 

Though someday, Kiyoko thinks, Akira may surpass her. Her eyes mist. 

She misses Kasuka. Her best friend, and her beloved, even if Kasuka was in love with Kureo. 

“How are you, Akira?” She asks with a bright smile. 

“I passed my exam.” Akira nods.

“With the top score, I presume?” Kiyoko grins. Akira is modest, of course, but she’s the best in her class.

Akira nods, her face flushed.

“I hope your dad is treating you, then.” Kiyoko ruffles Akira’s hair. 

“Ah, Kiyoko.” Kureo steps outside wit a sad smile. “Nice to see you again.”

She nods, holding up her mother’s famous soup. Well, Kiyoko is not a good cook, but she tried it for the Mados. 

She used to come over all the time, back when Kasuka lived. Those nights were fun. Now, these nights are filled with tears.

But occasionally, she thinks as Akira hurries off, there’s still joy. 

That’s how she knows they’ll be all right. 

Headcanons for Kiyoko Aura being best friends with (and in unrequited love with) Kasuka Mado? Bonus if they’re sweet and angsty. Also, Kureo probably knows but since Kiyoko never says anything, he doesn’t call her on it, maybe??

I really like this headcanon. o.O

“Kiyoko, are you okay?” Kasuka watches her friend storm out of a meeting with her fists clenched.

“I’m fine,” she seethes.

“You’re not.” Kasuka pushes back a lock of blonde hair and motions Kiyoko into her office. 

“Men are pigs,” Kiyoko bursts out as soon as their alone. “Kureo excepted, of course. But – I’ll say something I know for a fact, and they keep questioning me until I doubt everything all over again. But all the rookie men are believed immediately!”

Kasuka shakes her head, her hand on her growing stomach. “I know the feeling.” 

Even as the most skilled investigator around, she’s often treated as fragile. It’s infuriating.

“I can’t take it anymore.” Kiyoko wipes her eyes. “I’m so angry. I will never earn their respect.” 

“You shouldn’t have to, but please, I need you here,” Kasuka pleads. She leans close to Kiyoko to deliver a hug, and Kiyoko prays Kasuka doesn’t notice the fluttering in her heart.

She loves Kasuka. But Kasuka loves Kureo, and so Kiyoko will sit by silently. 

“Don’t just sit by while they treat you like that,” Kasuka encourages.

Kiyoko swallows. Well, if she’s going to do it in her personal life, she might as well try something different in her professional life. “Okay.” 

“Good.” Kasuka smiles. Someone knocks on their door.

“That’ll be Kureo. He has a unique knock.” Kasuka smiles as she opens the door. “Ready for the doctor?”

Kureo’s eyes wander to Kiyoko. She flushes, sure he knows exactly how she feels for Kasuka, and exactly the pain she’s in, watching Kasuka have his baby.

But he, too, is sitting by with silence. Perhaps because he trusts Kiyoko. 

She wishes she trusted herself.
