Naki is too pure for this world

image

Naki reaches out a hand to stroke Miza, to assure her he’s okay.

His hand slips through her.

“What?!” he shrieks.

“You’re a spirit now, Naki.” Shio and Rikai appear. “We have to go now.”

“Go where?” Naki sounds frightened.

“Heaven.”

“For me?” Naki swallows. Miza is crying. How can he leave her?

“Yes.” Shio throws his arms around Naki. “We’ll be right beside you.”

“Are you – dead?” Naki is horrified. “Not you!”

“It’s okay. Yusa and Hirako are strong. Miza is strong. They’ll remember us, lie you remember your bro.” Rikai nods as tears stream down Shio and Naki’s faces.

“I’ll look after both of you until you see your Arima again,” Naki promises them. As the world around them begins to fade, he grips the children tight.

Naki/Kaneki scenario with Naki being devoted to Neki like a cute little puppy

“We’re Naki and Neki,” announces Naki. “It’s practically the same.”

“I suppose,” Kaneki says slowly.

“We’re a team!” Naki slings his arm around Kaneki’s shoulders. He follows Kaneki out of the room and down the hall to the GOAT executive meeting. 

When Kaneki leaves, Naki follows him to read stories to the children. He shows off his koukaku and enjoys the kids climbing all over him.

When Kaneki goes to the bathroom, he exits to find Naki standing there. “Naki, is something wrong?”

“I have something I need to tell you.” Naki’s face is pink.

Kaneki waits.

Naki looks at the concrete floor. “You know, if I’d been there, I would have stopped Big Bro for you.” 

Kaneki softens. “That’s it?”

Naki nods. “I’m sorry he hurt you. You didn’t deserve it. I would have been tortured instead.”

“No!” Kaneki gasps. He clutches Naki’s hands. “Listen to me, Naki. No one deserves pain, any pain, especially not what happened to me.”

He chokes on his words; there’s still a voice inside him insisting he’s the exception, that he did deserve it. 

“You know you didn’t, either.” Naki frowns.

“I’m learning.”

“Like me.” Naki smiles. “You learn emotions, I learn words, and we all become better. That’s how it works, right?”

Kaneki’s heart swells with this ghoul’s inherent goodness. Beneath the bloodshed and bodies, beneath the devour corpses and worship of a sadist, there is an innocent child preserved in Naki. 

Not even he, the king, can boast the same.

“Yeah, Naki. That’s how it works.”

Ya know what would be adorable and funny and brilliant at the same time? A scenario of Naki and Miza’s first time ;)

“This is – I just want to go on forever,” Naki breathes. Miza sits atop him, her lips deep in his. 

“We can do something even more intense,” she jokes.

“Like what?” Naki looks excited.

“Naki, do you know what sex is?”

He nods eagerly. Tears fill his eyes. “You mean – you want to? Really? With me?” 

“Yeah.” Miza whips off her shirt.

Naki gasps. He finds himself fearful of touching her. 

“Here.” Miza unfastens her bra and guides his hands to her breasts. “Like that.”

“They’re so soft,” Naki whispers. He’s already crying.

“Soft like your heart.” Miza winks before sliding her hand between his legs. “Is this okay?”

Naki nods. He squeaks a bit with emotion.

When they’re both naked, and Naki lies on top, he asks, “Are you sure this won’t hurt you?”

“Naki, I’m positive.” Miza opens her hips and lets him in. 

“Ah – ah.” Naki grunts. “Miza, you’re so warm.”

“You make me warm.” Miza guides him up and down. 

Naki shrieks when he comes, and then he’s very nervous, demanding to know how he can best serve her, demanding to know if she thought he was okay.

Miza laughs and guides his hand between her thighs. “You really are the sweetest man I know.”

“Only for you.” Naki smiles shyly. 

Can someone please Wake up Naki? Like. Dude this joke is getting way too far. *ugly crying*

*commence more ugly crying* 

“What the…” Miza looks up as the tunnels quake around her. Dust and pebbles fall to her forehead. 

Something big has happened. Miza swallows. She knows she’s needed. She knows Naki cannot join her.

So she leans forward and kisses his lips. 

Miza is trudging away when she hears a cry.

She spins back around. “Naki?”

“You – I’ve never been kisses before.” Naki struggles to stand. Tears stream down his cheeks. “Not even by Big Bro. You’re my first, Miza. It – it tasted like candy.”

“You don’t know what candy tastes like,” Miza tosses back. Her blush is unmistakable.

“Like you, right?” Naki clasps her hand as another earthquake rattles the tunnel. “Is the pock-lips coming?”

“Apocalypse?” Miza swallows. “I have no idea. We need to hurry – there could be more attacks up ahead.”

“Then let’s go. Naki never gives up.” He smiles. “Especially with Miza by his side.”

Masanori’s Trick or treating adventure!

“Look at me, Daddy!”

Masanori twirls around, showing off his black bobbed wig. “I’m YOU! Uncle Uta helped me.”

“You look just like Daddy,” Hairu says with a grin. She’s Rapunzel, and Ui is Flynn Rider. 

“Yay!” Masanori claps his hands. 

Ui is too happy to speak, so he hugs his child instead. “Now, be safe out there.”

“I will!” Masanori hurries outside to join the other GOAT children.

“Trick or treat!” Masanori first rings Touka and Kaneki’s door.

“Yes?” Touka, dressed like a fortune teller, falls back. “It’s a CCG investigator! AHHHHH!” 

Masanori giggles. “No, it’s just Masanori!”

Kaneki, having been forced into a purple dragon costume, hands Masanori sugar tubes.

“Thank you!” Masanori skips to Ayato and Hinami’s next.

“Rawr!” Ayato is dressed like a pirate; Hinami, a yellow parrot. They hand Masanori chocolate.

Naki is Frankenstein and Miza his bride. 

“Oo-oooooh.” Miza zombie walks towards the children, and they shriek.

“What tasty children!” Pennywise Itori greets them next, with angel Yomo and devil Uta behind her.

“Watch out, I’ll use my quinque,” teases Masanori. “Wait, Uncle Yomo, are those your ukaku wings.”

“With some help from Uta,” Yomo says uncomfortably. 

Nishiki is dressed as a spider and Kimi a butterfly, connected by a web, and they hand out homemade cupcakes to thrill the children.

The Quinx mansion is next, and Saiko greets them as Gintoki. Hsaio as a ninja and Shirazu as a shark appear behind her, followed by Aura as perhaps a ghost – a white sheet, as any rate – and Higemaru as some monster of his own devising. Urie and Mutsuki join as Cookie Monster and a cat, respectively. 

Cinderella Yoriko and Prince Charming Takeomi hand out more baked goods, and then it’s on to the Tsukiyama’s.

Chie as a bat hangs in a tree, snapping as many pictures as she can. 

“Greetings, mortals!” Tsukiyama thrusts open his front door, dressed in rich wizarding robes. Kanae as an elf holds up ring pops.

Arima opens his door, mortified. He’s dressed as a black goat, and sexy witch Eto looks all too pleased with herself. 

The children plod over to Hirako’s, where the three Musketeers pretend to attack as a giant Shiba hands them Kit-kats. Hajime appears to chase off the Musketeers, complete as Superman.

Kurona as a vampire and Seidou as a greek god provide Masanori with his favorite gift yet: caramel, the sticky stuff Mommy and Daddy don’t often buy after he smeared it across the entire kitchen.

An enormous version of Maris Stella answers the door at Akira and Amon’s, and the Suzuya Squad as Robin Hood and his merry men  – including Hanbee as Maid Marion – swoop in to deliver Skittles. 

When Masanori turns around, he sees all the parents gathered. “All right, off to our last stop.”

“Where?” Masanori asks.

“You don’t think your other uncle would miss this, do you?” Hairu asks lightly.

The adults are still wary as they enter the jail. But their reserve soon gives way to laughter when Haise Sasaki greets Kaneki in Furuta’s voice. “Hi, me! We look cute today!”

“I hate you,” Kaneki says.

“I love us,” says Haise. He showers the children with chocolate, and Masanori thinks himself the luckiest kid alive. 

Ayato coming back and finding the base destroyed, many of goat dead, Miza tending to a “sleeping” Naki and his sister, Hinami, Tsukiyama and the half-hassed bastard missing.

Ayato smells the blood before he emerges from the underground. He hears the army of ghouls murmur behind him. He hears a sob. 

“Miza?” 

Ayato stops short.

Children – the Oggai – dead. The white suits are now bloodstained. And Miza sobs at Naki’s side.

He’s dead. Ayato’s stomach rolls. “Miza, where is Touka? Hina?”

“Yomo sent them on.” Miza wipes her eyes. “Who – who are these people?”

“The people we’re fighting for,” Ayato says grimly. “Looks like we’re having a battle sooner than expected.”

He sounds calm, but inwardly – Touka! Hinami! And that half-assed bastard. Where are they? Uncle Yomo?

Up ahead, he sees two CCG investigators moaning on the ground. 

“Bind them,” Ayato orders. He’ll tend to them later.

Further still, he sees a stumbling figure in a torn trench coat. “Yomo!”

The Raven’s eyes widen. “Ayato.”

He rushes towards his uncle. “Where are the others?” 

“Follow me,” Yomo says firmly. He immediately slouches over, and Miza props him up. 

“Lean on me.”

More wails come from around the corner. Arima Yusa is punching Hirako Take over and over and over in his shoulders.

“Take!” Yomo gasps.

“Where’s Shio and Rikai?” Miza asks with dread.

Hirako turns his bloodshot eyes to Yomo. “I couldn’t save them. They – ”

He breaks down in tears, and Ayato snaps his fingers. 

“We have to keep moving. Bring them along,” he orders. Two more ghouls pick up Hirako and Yusa. 

A distinctly human smell comes from tunnel 14. 

Many investigators.

Ayato motions for the wounded to stay behind. “Miza, watch over them.” 

She nods, and he prepares to attack. No one is hurting Touka and Hinami. He can’t even imagine them dying yet.

“Charge!”

Ayato flies forward on his ukaku. 

Touka meets his eyes. HInami is with her, and the Aogiri children – surrounded by CCG agents.

“Back the fuck off!” Ayato screams. If he’d been a second later, they’d have killed his sister and – and her, his butterfly.

A little investigator, that tiny Arima, turns around to face him.

Suddenly, Ayato screams.

That’s Arata’s kakuja.

“Dad!” screams Touka, firing Rc shards towards the investigator.

The investigator tries to move, but the armor locks.

“You bastard!” Ayato feels himself crying, but he sends the investigator head over heels towards Touka. 

Touka hurls his quinque across the tunnel. 

“The only reason I’m keeping you alive is that Kaneki loves you,” she hisses. Suzuya looks horrified.

“Speaking of Ken, where is the half-assed bastard?” snarls Ayato. Most of the investigators have surrendered, and those who haven’t have been killed. Kaneki won’t like it, but this is fucking war.

And that armor hurts him.

“He saved me and got caught up ahead,” Hinami cries.

“You won’t win!” Ayato yells at Suzuya before grabbing Hina by the hand. “Everyone who’s not guarding the prisoners, with me!”

“This way!” Hinami leads Ayato down the tunnel, treasuring every second by his side. 

Tsukiyama forces Naki to wear his suits full of colorful patterns!

“Naki, ‘White Coats’ is a cool name and all, but you’ve drained your style of lifeblood,” Tsukiyama declares, striding into GOAT headquarters.

“Are you serious, Tsukiyama?” Nishiki glares at him. 

“Yes.” Tsukiyama grabs Naki. “Come be my friend for an afternoon. I shall show you the untold wonders of color.”

“Um – okay, bro!” Naki giggles. “Will you make me a rainbow?”

“Oh, I shall.” Tsukiyama strides into his room and rubs his hands together. “Ah, yes. I think a bright maroon would suit you well.”

“Maroon?” Naki squints.

“It’s a dark red. Like this.” Tsukiyama throws open his closet. He holds up a suit before Naki. 

“Ooh, it looks like blood! Big bro would love this.” Naki grinned.

“You’re welcome to any of my suits. Best avoid the lime with your complexion, though.”  

“Complec-shun?”

“Your skin color.” Tsukiyama nods. “Complexion.”

“Complexion, complexion, complexion,” Naki mutters to himself, throwing off his white jacket. 

Someone raps on his door. 

“Tsukiyama, Nishiki said you needed -” Miza freezes at the sight of shirtless Naki.

How will miza and the white suits react to naki’s death?

“Bro!” The white suits begin screaming in unison.

With a shriek, Miza knocks the remaining Oggai unconscious and leaps to his side. “Naki, Naki, please don’t go.”

He lies there, his suit and hair crimson, his eyes extinguished. 

“No.” Miza’s voice rises. “I love you, Naki.”

She presses her lips against his split, bloodied ones. 

“We all loved you.” Another white suit staggers over and drops to his knees. “We all loved you!” 

“We still do.” Miza wipes her eyes. “I’ll keep fighting for you, Naki.”

“We’re all here because of him,” says a short, squat of the White Suits. 

Miza smiles tentatively. “He’s with Gage and Gugi now. Probably learning more words and laughing at us.”

The ghoul holds out his arms. “You need a hug, big sis?”

Miza falls into a circle of embracing ghouls in blood-splattered suits. She’s finally found her family. 

Naki’s not lost, not to her. He’ll always be in her life – in all of theirs. In Kaneki’s too. 

Enjoy heaven, she prays, and somewhere, she knows he hears. 

How to you think Tsukiyama has managed to teach Naki how babies are made?

“Today, Naki,” Tsukiyama pauses dramatically, “is the day we learn the riddle to the ancient mystery.”

“Misery?” Naki’s eyes widen.

“How babies are made!” Tsukiyama cheers. 

Ayato is just close enough to overhear. “Walk faster, Hinami.” 

“Can we listen?” Ihei Shio, Souza Rikai, and Arima Yusa slip into the room.

“Of course. Everyone must know at some point.” Shuu begins drawing on the chalkboard. “This is a male’s reproductive system.”

Riki’s face is bright red, but Naki chatters eagerly. “You drew it so big.”

“I have my inspirations.” Tsukiyama winks, and the children giggle.

“Now for the female flower.” Tsukiyama resumes drawing. “And what you’ll notice is that the male has a stem to insert into the flower…”

When he finishes a florid description of intercourse – complete with chalkboard art – everyone stares blankly at him.

“Any questions?”

Yusa waves his hand. His face is green. “Is this where Touka’s baby came from?”

“Kaneki would never! He and Touka wouldn’t touch – like that – ” Naki’s face turns red. 

“Why not? It’s beautiful!” Tsukiyama winks. “You’re telling me you never wanted to touch Miza like that?”

Naki squeaks.

The door flies open, and Kaneki Ken, Kusakari Miza, Hirako Take, and Nishiki Nishio stare at a chalkboard peppered with both scientific drawings and possibly sketched porn.

Nishiki doubles over laughing, Kaneki nearly faints, Hirako cries, and Miza storms over to pick up Naki.

“Do you want to make a baby?” He smiles up at her.
