Touka and Mutsuki fight after 152 and then both decide to shoot for a peaceful solution. Mutsuki decides he doesn’t care if Kaneki loves someone else as long as he can also be loved by him. He helps Touka and Hide and everyone get Kaneki out of Dragon with Touka and Kaneki and the others all move into the Chateau with the rest of the Quinx. Mutsuki gets the pure genuine love he always wanted from his Sensei and Touka and the others watch on while smiling

Can this, like, happen?

“Why do you think love is so cheap?” Touka fires Rc shards into Mutsuki’s arm. God dammit, she knows Ken loves this kid, but if he ain’t testing her patience now. “What, you think if Kaneki loves me he can’t love you? Love isn’t a math game, Eyepatch! Kaneki left you because he was afraid of you! And he was afraid because he loved you all! It had nothing to do with me!”

“Then why didn’t he come back?!” Mutsuki screams.

“Because Kaneki wants to hide when he feels like he’s done something wrong – like leaving you!” Touka yells back.

Mutsuki hesitates. He wants to hide. He’s very good at hiding.

“Mucchan!” shrieks a voice. Touka whirls around to see the rest of the Quinx. The screaming one is the blue-haired girl, the first one to agree to work with ghouls. Saiko, if Touka recalls Kaneki’s descriptions correctly.

“What?” sobs Mutsuki. “Go away! She – stole him!” He points wildly at Touka.

Aura appears. “And we’re going to finish this.”

“Oh my god, really,” Higemaru mutters.

“No, Mutsuki. Sasaki – Kaneki – Maman, if you will – he left us because he was too cowardly to face us. Just like you, leaving us for the Oggai, right? Because you don’t want to admit you have problems?” Urie steps forward, tears in his eyes. “Just like me, ignoring all of you at the start? And you – you were the one who hugged me at my lowest. And kept me from damaging myself more. Now I’m returning the favor.”

Urie steps forward and wraps his arms around Mutsuki. “It’s awful being alone. You do it, I do it, Sasaki does it, Saiko does it, Hsaio is part ghoul so we’ll say she does it too, Aura clearly does it.”

“What about me?” demands Higemaru.

“You’re the balm to the rest of us,” Urie tells him. Higa brightens and prances over to Aura. He hugs him, and Hsaio joins in.

Aura looks like he’s never been hugged before.

Saiko rushes over to join Urie and Mutsuki. Touka and a recovering Miza tiptoe closer.

“Is this where Maman is?” Saiko whispers to Touka.

She nods.

Saiko fastens her kagune into a drill and stabs into the flesh of the giant worm.

Touka gasps as Saiko rips forth a bloodied Kaneki with ease. His arms are no longer scaled. He looks whole.

“Ken!” she cries. She and all of the Quinx rush forward as Saiko lays him down atop the kagune.

“He’s unconscious,” says Miza.

Kaneki, however, cracks open one eye. He sees Mutsuki – Touka – Urie – Saiko – Miza and the new quinx, all standing there.

“Family,” he mumbles before losing consciousness.

Mutsuki bawls and Touka hugs him. For Kaneki’s sake, she’ll forgive this poor kid.

Three months later

Mutsuki opens the door to the Chateau. “After you.”

“Thanks,” says Touka, stepping inside to see all of the Quinx, Hide, and her husband gathered in their living room. Aura still sulks in a corner, but he’s inching closer to the rest of them day by day.

“Well? What did the doctor say?” Kaneki wasn’t able to accompany Touka to her ultrasound this morning, because he’s still under house arrest at the Chateau.

Mutsuki exchanges a smile with Touka.

“It’s a girl,” Touka blurts out.

Saiko shrieks, Higemaru cheers, and Mutsuki claps. Kaneki stumbles forward to wrap his arms around Touka. “Another girl in our family.”

Yomo with an so who is a mum or pop figure to Asa, Hinami, Touka, Ayato, x Kaneki 💕 Thanks ❤️

“They’re going to get married next, aren’t they?” Yomo looks ill as he eyes Ayato, whose arm is wrapped tight around Hinami.

“Probably. Isn’t it fantastic?” His S/O grins.

“Hey, hey, hey.” They rub Yomo’s shoulders. “I know it’s scary. But they have to live their lives someday.” They nod towards Kaneki and a very pregnant Touka. “And you’re doing a fine job supporting them.”

“Now I am,” Yomo confesses, “but I was never very good at it before. What if I fail again?”

His S/O throws back their head and laughs. “You will! It’s okay. Families stick together. Besides,” they add with a smirk, “Asa’s still single.”

“Oh, she is for now,” Yomo mutters. Truth to be told, he’s been quite pleased to accept Uta’s protege into their family.

His S/O nods. “Good perspective to keep.”

Yomo groans.

“Help me with the coffee, will you?” His S/O lifts a tray of brimming coffee mugs. With YOmo’s support, they saunter over to the table they share every night. Decaf for Touka, regular for everyone else.

“Thanks, [Name],” Hinami says sweetly. Ayato nods, but they can see the appreciation in his eyes.

Asa hurries over. “Thank you!”

“It’s no problem, really. How are you feeling, Touka?” They sit besides Yomo, their fingers laced between his.

This was one of their ideas Yomo treasures. Family coffee nights analogous to human family dinners.

They’re Yomo’s favorite nights.

All of Kaneki’s implied and canon admirers talk about how much they love Kaneki, what they want to do with Kaneki if they got into a relationship with him and what they love about him, what made them fall in love with him: so this includes Roma, Mutsuki, Hajime, Hinami, Touka, Rize, Tsukiyama, Hide, Saiko, Eto, etc (side comment: Boy Neki has himself a hell of a lot of admirers!)

Like how does Ken get and maintain these admirers I’m jealous.

“I’ll go first.” Touka sighs. She can’t believe Urie and Marude’s solution was a group therapy session for all of Kaneki’s admirers.

“Now that he’s recovering in the hospital, you can all work out your problems,” Marude said. What a dumbass.

“I first fell in love when he told me he’d care if I died, even though I was a murderer,” Touka says, a sad smile on her face. “I just want to raise our kid together and give them…the childhood we never had.”

“I fell in love with his scent,” says Tsukiyama. “And convinced myself I wanted to eat him instead of love him. Now I just want him to stay alive.”

“Tsukiyama is a bad example for ghouls,” Hinami says quickly. “I love how Onii-chan taught me to read. That’s why I want happiness for him.”

“He was tasty,” Rize says dreamily, still somewhat dead inside after being held captive for years. “I’d still like to eat him.”

“I like Maman because he always loved us when we were brats,” Saiko says, crossing her arms. “Now I just want to hug him and tell him he’s okay every day.”

“I find him fascinating.” Eto grins. “So much potential. I’d torment him day and night.”

“Potential tragedy. People who try to be good because they hate themselves are my weakness.” Roma giggles. “I love sitting back and watching.”

“This is why you don’t have friends, old maid,” Eto shoots back.

“I like him because he’s what I want to be, only I’ll be better because I won’t betray CCG,” Hajime declares.

Hide shakes his head. “Kid.“

“What?!” Hajime huffs.

“Never mind.” Hide sighs. “You know, I’m not sure. I think I always have, but I haven’t recognized it until it was nearly too late. Now I just want him to be happy.”

“What about you?” Hide turns to Mutsuki, who swallows hard.

“Uh…ummm…I like that he showed me kindness when I was a gross murderer,” Mutsuki whispers.

Saiko coughs. “That’s, uh, close to Touka’s.”

“I know.” Mutsuki stares at the floor.

Touka slides closer to Mutsuki. “Ken’s a great guy.”

Mutsuki smiles, tentatively, at her.

Maybe, Touka thinks, Marude wasn’t such a doofus after all.

Ayahina have quadruplets and Kaneki faints (also Ayato is crying more than all the babies put together throughout Hinami’s labour)

“Oh my god, this is awful.” Ayato hiccups as Hinami grunts.

She’s been in labor for half a day. She’s in pain. She’s in agony, actually, and he helped cause this. “I’m so sorry!”

“It’s fine,” she says through ground teeth.

“You’re ready to push,” Kimi says.

Hinami gasps with relief, and Touka squeezes Kaneki’s hand. Kaneki, however, looks awfully pale.

Hinami-chan is going to be a mother…

He’s going to be an uncle…

Kaneki greets the floor with his face.

“Really?” Touka hauls him up. “Oh my god, Ken!”

“Get Useless outta here,” Ayato wails. He pulls out his hair, until he sees Hinami glaring at him.

Touka drags Kaneki away as Kimi encourages Hinami. Finally there’s a cry, and Ryouko is alive and in his arms.

“Here comes another.” Kimi hands Ayato baby Hikari.

“Okay, Touka, we need you,” Ayato calls, his voice cracking.

His sister and her useless husband reenter.

“If you drop either, you die,” Ayato hisses.

“Arata.” Touka takes the third baby like its a treasure. Kaneki gingerly pats its head.

“Last but not least, Daisuke.” Kimi hands an exhausted Hinami the fourth baby, named after Hinami’s father.

“Oh my god, they’re beautiful,” Hinami whispers, tears running down her face.

Ayato nods, unable to speak around the lump in his throat.

“It was worth it.” Hinami motions for Touka to hand over Arata, and for Ayato to bring the girls closer.

Ayato has to nod.

When touken baby is a toddler and refuses to say anything but “No,”

Bahahahahahhahaha. Love it.

“Mitsu, come here.” Touka points to the dinner table.

“No.” Mitsu continues to play with her stuffed animals. She told Kaneki earlier that she’s making up her own story.

“Mitsu, obey your mother,” Kaneki says.

Mitsu looks up again in surprise. “No.”

“Obey your father?” Kaneki tries.

“No.” Mitsu giggles and sets her penguin atop the dog. She makes them charge towards two fluffy cats as large as she, presents from Uncle Shuu.

“Mitsu. I know your story is interesting, but you can work on it later.” Kaneki crosses the room and lifts Mitsu off the ground.

“No!” she cries. “No, no, no!”

“I’m going to eat Nishiki for teaching her that,” Touka mutters.

“I mean, to be fair, we tell her no all the time,” Kaneki says, setting Mitsu in her seat.

“No you don’t,” Mitsu says.

Hey look, she said something besides no, Touka thinks. Kaneki winks at her.

Mood: Mutsuki’s butt :)

Mutsuki’s butt, eh?

Urie likes Mutsuki’s butt. He thinks of it a wee bit more than he’ll admit.

Kaneki should appreciate Mucchy’s finely sculpted rear end, but he doesn’t because he’s Kaneki and oblivious.

Saiko thinks it’s attractive.

Hsaio has eyed it more than once, but she prefers girls, so Mutsuki’s a no.

Aura feels embarrassed because his is misshapen by comparison.

Higemaru is determined that if he does enough squats, he will get an ass shaped like Mutsuki’s.

You know who could really use some unconditional affection/love? Hide. And you know what came to mind? Kaneki + dogs. Remember how he was dressed as a cat in the calendar? how about Kaneki dressing as a cute fluffy dog for Hide and lick him all over his face, nuzzling him and the mask out of the way while licking and looking at him with adoration and curl up in his lap/cuddle with him and running on all fours before tackling him to greet him and lick him and hugging him. Cause I need this bad.

Meep.

Hide trudges into his apartment and slowly closes the door behind him. He just saw the most fluffy Samoyed on the street, and he desperately wants one. Dogs won’t look at his scars funny. He needs a Samoyed!

Too bad his bank account disagrees.

“Heya, Hide.” A voice rings out from his kitchen.

Hide starts. “Kaneki?”

“Woof.” Kaneki looks embarrassed to be on all fours, dressed as a fluffy brown mutt, but he is all the same.

“What are you doing?”

“I can’t buy you a dog, so I thought I’d dress up as one.” Kaneki nuzzles Hide’s ankles.

Hide has to laugh.

Kaneki rises and uses his mask to nudge Hide’s scarf away. He licks the scars ever-so-slightly, like a timid puppy.

Hide giggles. “You’re so silly.”

“I figured it was the least I could do,” Kaneki whispers.

“This, uh, actually means a lot to me.” Hide wipes his eyes as Kaneki pulls him to the floor and curls up next to him.

“You’re my best friend, and you deserve a dog.”

Hcs with Shuu as a dad (and maybe Auntie Chie)

– Shuu’s child is bathed in rosewater and sleeps in fairy dust

– Shuu is overprotective but also fun. He just needs to be with the child while they are having The Fun.

– Anyone threatens his kid, he’s going to make them pay. Probably by having Auntie Chie take photos until they find one the villain doesn’t want made public.

– He buys his kid high fashion silk diapers starting from Day One.

– The first time the child cried in his arms, he panicked and thought he had hurt them. Turns out they were just hungry, and he was mildly embarrassed he did not realize that.

– He hyped up Uncle Kaneki’s scent so much that the child was unimpressed with Kaneki, to Shuu’s horror.

– Shuu is very supportive of whatever his child decides to do. Tea parties? He’ll gladly participate. Sports? He’ll cheer on every game. Dying their hair at age six? Sure, why not?
