The world needs more Mulan/TG mashups.

“Try to catch me!” Urie dodges Mutsuki’s knife.
“Urie, you’re too fast.” Mutsuki giggles and feints to the right.
Urie escapes again, but Mutsukiw as definitely closer this time.
And then Mutsuki backflips, exposing his bikaku and throwing Urie to the ground.
Urie stares up at Mutsuki, who’s now straddling him and grinning with pride.
“W-wow. You fight good.”
Urie and Mutsuki look at each other, and both are wondering what a kiss might feel like when Sasaki interrupts. “Dinner!”

“Where is he…where is he?” Nimura Furuta stalks across the bloodied streets. CCG has been defeated, and he’s probably going to die, thank God, but he’s going to take them down with him.
Urie leaps in front of Mutsuki. Saiko activates her kagune. Aura stands behind his friend, Hsaio to his left, Higemaru to his right. All kakugans blaze.
“That was a deliberate attempt on my life!” cries Furuta. “Step aside. That he-she’s not worth protecting.”
“He’s a hero!” Urie spits.
“He’s not even a he. He’ll never be worth anything.” Furuta activates his own kakugan.
But Urie’s already framed out. “Listen, you pompous -”
“THAT. IS. ENOUGH.” Kaneki Ken shoves his way through the crowds, Touka Kirishima at his side. Kaneki steps out of his kakuja, but Touka’s ukaku remains ready.
“S-Sasaki.” Urie remembers Kaneki’s final words to him before he left CCG. Save Mutsuki.
He’s failed to save their squad. Look at them, all full ghouls.
“I can explain.”
Touka holds up a hand. “You know, I’ve learned a great deal about you all. Especially you, Mutsuki Tooru. How you killed your family and the cat. How you arrested my best friend. You tried to kill me over and over.”
Mutsuki’s head bows lower and lower.
“And -” Touka’s tone softens. “You have saved us all.”
Mutsuki blinks. “Me?”
Kaneki wraps new rinkaku tendrils around a sputtering Furuta. “If you hadn’t turned the Oggai on CCG, GOAT would be dead. My child would be dead.”
Mutsuki gapes at Touka. She’s – strangely, with all the Quinx surrounding him, with Kaneki’s love, he doesn’t feel jealous anymore. “It was – it was Urie.”
“Nah, I think it was you, Mucchy.” Saiko winks at Touka. They have similar hair colors. Their future could be fun.
“I need to tend to the Oggai, Sensei,” Mutsuki says, his face red. “If you’ll let me.”
He can’t abandon them the way Sensei did.
“Of course.” Kaneki waves him towards the crying children. Perhaps he, too, is learning.
“Mutsuki!” Urie grabs his hand. “Uh – you fight good.”
The memory returns, and Mutsuki’s eyes mist. Perhaps everything hasn’t died. “Thank you.”
Touka’s mouth drops open and Kaneki inches closer, pulling a cocooned Furuta. “You don’t meet someone like that often, Urie.”
“I know.” Urie smiles, and Mutsuki looks over at him. The Oggai are swarming him with cuddles.
“He knows it, too.”
