Uh…probably not what you had in mind…but thisis what happened so??? Idek

YOMO had been concerned when his partner hadn’t arrived by their usual time,and when they stumble in through the door hours after he had expected them, herealizes his worries hadn’t been unfounded. It’s clear they had been attacked,but they hadn’t suffered any injuries too dire; the blood certainly made theirinjuries look worse than they are. His partner mutters out that they’re fine,just a small run in with some doves and that it took a while for them to losethem. He wants to tell them to be more careful, but he knows that no matter howcareful anyone is, ghouls will still be targeted by the doves. That’s just howit is in this world. Instead, he tells them to get cleaned up and offers tohelp.

His partner waves themoff with a hand, but when Yomo moves to help them get cleaned up they don’tpush him away. After their relatively minor wounds are bandaged, they wraptheir arms around his neck. In response, his arms circle around their waist andhe brings them closer.

They sit in relativesilence for a while, just listening to the vital signs that told the other thatthey are both alive, still here, even if only for another day. His partner isthe first to break the silence, talking about minor, inconsequential thingsabout their day, and he listens, responding and in turn answering the questionsabout his day that they softly ask. Somehow, the conversation delves into sillywhat ifs, solely on behalf of his partner. Yomo plays along, humoring them withtheir silly fantasies. It’s endearing, he thinks, that they can dream so much,their mind exploring possibilities far and wide, from the mundane to theimpossible.

“Hey, Yomo. What if Iwas an angel that came from heaven? What if some god demanded me back?”

“I’d make the god takeme with you. Or fight the god.”

This took an era and a half to write butbehold! I have completed this quest

SHIRO!KANEKI is at first alarmed for being in an unfamiliar place anddespite his injuries is on high alert. He hears footsteps approaching andprepares himself, but what he doesn’t expect is the person—who seems to be ahuman—to drop what they had been carrying in surprise. “Oh! You’re awake…areyou feeling okay?” They ask carefully, gathering what they had dropped whichKaneki now identifies as bandages. He realizes then that his injuries have beentended to and connects the dots to realize that this human had taken a risk incaring for someone who could potentially hurt them. He admires them for theircourage, no matter how foolish it may be, and gives them a nod inacknowledgement. They shyly point out that his wounds have bled through and saythat they have to change the bandages. Kaneki insists that they’ve already donemore than enough; he couldn’t really allow them to go to such lengths withouthim being able to properly thank them. “No, this is something I want to do,so…let me be a little selfish, okay?” They smile brightly at him and he decideshe likes their smile. In the end, the kind human had their way and looked afterhim for a little bit. He’d definitely find a way to repay them. Definitely.

TSUKIYAMA wonders how he came to be in the care of a human after he hadgone unconscious. Most people, human or otherwise, would just leave a strangeralone and hope that they don’t come to regret it later. He watches as thehuman, whose pleasant aroma didn't escape his notice, meticulously tend to hiswounds. “Be more careful next time, someone might decide to finish the jobinstead of helping you.” With a light snap, the latex gloves red with his bloodare removed and disposed of. He questions them on whether or not it had beenwise of them to take a stranger in; after all he could be a ghoul. He findshimself fascinated by humans yet again when they deadpan and say that that sortof thing doesn’t matter when it comes to helping someone who clearly needs it.The conversation then turns on to more mundane, but still pleasant,conversation. Tsukiyama learns quite a bit about this peculiar person and findsthat he wouldn’t mind spending time in their company again. When he leaves, hecommits their address to his memory so he can send them flowers as thankslater.

YOMO finds himself patched up in an unfamiliar place that smelled of humans.The situation sets him on edge, but then he spots a small figure sleeping bythe bed. The ghoul puts two and two together and concludes that the sleepinghuman is the one responsible for helping him. With a sigh, he gets out of thebed despite his body’s muted protests, and picks up the unconscious figure andplaces them where he had been moments before. He considers leaving without aword, but figures he should at least leave a note thanking them. A small soundpasses through their lips, indicating that they are slowly becoming awake.Well, if they are going to be awake soon he might as well stick around andthank them properly face to face.

UTA finds it curious that he found an opponent strong enough to render himout cold. Curious still are his current circumstances; he decides to pretend tobe unconscious until he can get a better picture of what’s happened. The personin the same room is definitely a human and he smells something like antisepticas well. He notices them approach and feels their hands work on taking care ofhis injuries. How would they react when they found out he’s a ghoul? He iscurious to find out. So he sits upright and stares right at them. “Uwaah!” theylet out a scream and fall backwards onto their backside. They look up at himand their eyes lock. “Your eyes…are pretty.” Uta’s eyebrow quirks upward, thatcertainly isn’t an answer he had been expecting, but he figured any minute nowthey would realize he is a ghoul and turn them in. They leap to their feet.“W-wait a minute! You shouldn’t be moving around! Your cuts will open upagain.” Uta just laughs it off and gets up with the excuse of troubling themenough already. Instead of using the door (like any other person would) heopens the window and leaps, hearing their voice yell after him to be carefuland take care of himself. He’d have to remember this human, they arequite…intriguing.

AYATO wakes up in an unfamiliar place and his first instinct is to actaggressively. He grabs the other presence in the room from his position on the bed.The small sound of surprise that erupts from their throat takes him bysurprise. Why would someone pick up some random person—a ghoul no less—for anyother reason than to bring harm? It’s in that moment of surprise that theperson—oh, they’re a human—aims for his pressure point forcing him to let goand he’s impressed by how reflexively they perform the action. They lookannoyed, annoyed enough to kill a man. “I carry your sorry ass from the street,bandage you up, and you decide you want to kill me? I should have kicked yourunconscious body into the gutter instead.” Oh. OH. That’s why he’s here, in this stranger’s living room. Now thathe knows they helped him, he felt a little guilty for suspecting them. “Sorry.”And even he cringes at how unapologetic he sounds, but Ayato is at least alittle sincere and he wonders why he’s unable to convey that much. Had joiningAogiri changed him that much? Or is this a change that would have happenedregardless. Ayato decides he needs to leave; this human is at least ahalf-decent person and he doesn’t want the CCG or Aogiri to harass them.“Leaving already? With those injuries? Well, as long as you’re careful that’sfine. Take care of yourself.” He notices the kindness in their eyes as they saythis, contrasting with their earlier expression. In typical Ayato fashion, hejust scoffs. Before taking off he turns around. “If you need anything just letme know.”

Aw, thank you for your well wishes! I hope thiswas cute and fluffy enough for you!

KANEKI and his partner are in the city for no apparent reason other than hispartner insisted that he needed some fresh air and him deciding to humor theirwhims. They’re practically bouncing with all of the energy in their smallframe. “Kaneki, if you don’t hurry up I’ll leave you behind.” They turn aroundfrom where they stand just ahead of him, with a smile reminiscent of the sunglittering off the sea. He just gives them a nervous laugh before catching upwith them. In a single bold move his partner takes his hand in theirs,apologizing for their sweaty hand. “It’s okay, my hand is sweaty too, see?” Andthe two of them laugh with unprecedented mirth. His partner is oblivious to thewords around them, but he hears the onlookers loud and clear, speaking amongstthemselves about how happy the two of them looked, to take their mushy couplestuff elsewhere, and perhaps the most embarrassing of all came from an elderlycouple. “My, I wonder when the two of them will be engaged.”

SHIRO!KANEKI knew that he had been neglecting his partner lately. The twoof them knew it could not be helped, and even though his partner could notunderstand, they waited patiently for him. Just as he thought of them, he hearsa knock on his door that could only be produced by the hand he knew so well.His partner comes in at his prompting, their hands behind their back with asort of uncertainty and nervousness in their smile. When they managed to speakit is an unsteady “I have something I need to tell you.” And he thinks thatmaybe they are tired of waiting for him, that they have decided to heed hiswords and find someone that would make them happier than his current selfcould. He braces himself for the hurt he will undoubtedly feel at their words,but those words don’t come. Instead they take the thing they had been hidingbehind their back and shoves a colorful book in front of him. At theirprompting he opens it and finds that it’s a scrapbook. “I’ve been writing astory and I wanted your input on it. I want you to help me write it.” Theirwords come out so fast that it takes him a minute to process them, and anothertwo to realize what they mean. “I love you.” The two of them say the words atthe same time and Kaneki finds himself cracking a genuine smile after whatfeels like decades.

YOMO glanced at his lovers sleeping face. They seemed utterly carefree intheir sleep, lips part as they shift in their sleep, muttering softly. It issuch a contrast to the life he leads, bloody out of necessity, that he’smomentarily struck by a thought. How lucky he is to have met them amidst thecarnage that seemed to hum in the background of everyone’s lives. He brushessome hair out of their face with a gentleness he didn’t know he had beencapable of. And it’s that moment when he realizes yet again how much he loveshis partner, the reassuring weight of their affections on his shoulders. Thatdespite the world he is a part of, despite the sins he’s committed, he managedto find a blessing in the shape of a person. Yomo thought he’d given up allsuch notions, such sentimentality years ago, yet here he is, nearly overwhelmedwith how important this single person is to him. He tugs the blankets overtheir form and quietly exits the room, kissing them on the forehead and biddingthem goodnight. His actions say all the things words fail to, that that personin front of him is the most precious thing in the world.

TOUKA looks at her partner. It isn’t as if they’re doing anything special;they’re just organizing some stuff around the house. She had long given up ontelling them that it is unnecessary for them to do, but they always seemed sohappy in doing so. There couldn’t be any harm in letting them have their wayevery now and again. “Um, Touka, where does this go?” they gesture to a stackof papers she recognizes as some old school notes. Touka tells them they canjust throw them away; they are a year old by now and the rabbit herself doesn’tknow why she kept them. “Okay! Thank you dear!” and they smile that samebrilliant smile that she seems to fall for again and again. Touka could neverforget how they met, how they grew closer over both painful and joyfulhappenings, and she wonders just how all of that coalesced into this. How couldit have happened to someone—something­—likeher? All of the times Touka needed someone for anything, they had always beenwilling to offer what help they could give. She crosses the threshold betweenthem and embraces them from behind. “Thank you.” Touka mumbles into theirshoulder. Her partner just laughs softly in response.

Angst might be the only thing I live for

AYATO isn’t sure what he’s supposed todo in situations like this. All he knows is that his partner is suffering andthat he can understand that suffering as his father had been killed by doves somany years ago. He holds his partner tightly as they cry and the only thing hecan tell them is that it’s okay, they’ll be okay, over and over again. Both ofthem know that that isn’t true, but his partner allows themselves to be deludedby his words. He doesn’t know what to do, what to say, and he wonders if thereever had been anything to do or say to alleviate the agony of losing someoneprecious. Ayato decides that he’s being stupid, thinking about these sorts ofthings. His partner’s grip on him tightens with a strength he didn’t know theyhad and his eyes widen slightly. The ghoul is about to ask his partner ifthey’re okay, but they speak before he can, burying their face into his chest.“Don’t die, Ayato.” Their voice is quiet, broken, watery with the weight oftheir loss. He brings them closer and makes a promise he doesn’t know if he cankeep. “I won’t.”

YOMO is torn at seeing his partner’s obvious grief and their desperateattempts to hold it all back. They insist that they’re okay, there’s nothing toworry about, nothing at all. His partner sees that he doesn’t believe it, cansee the concern in his eyes, and that he doesn’t know how to approach them lesthe upset them further. It’s the fact that he cares about them and loves themthat opens the floodgates. They close the distance between the two of them in amatter of seconds and cry into his chest, warbling out a disjointed explanationof what had happened. Yomo doesn’t hear all of it, but he hears enough tounderstand the gist of the situation. He holds them close, rubbing smallcircles into their back, giving them what reassurance physical contact could.An unknown amount of time passes with the two of them standing in relativequiet before their sobbing subsides. He softly utters their name withoutreceiving a response and he realizes that they’d cried themselves intoexhaustion. The raven carries his partner to bed, knowing they would need restto heal. They don’t let go of him, subconsciously clinging to that which hadn’tbeen lost, and he decides that spending the night with them isn’tobjectionable. “Don’t worry, I’ll still be here when morning comes.”

NISHIKI watches as his partner beats themselves up over the incident, speakingtoo fast about the things they should have done, that if they had been theremaybe that person wouldn’t have died. He decides that enough is enough andtells them that if they had been there, they would have died too. He isn’t thesort of person who is adept at comforting others and he knows it, but he triesfor his partner’s sake. Taking a seat next to them, he cups their face in hishands, muttering about how they needed to calm down. Their hysteria gives wayto sadness and he can see the exact moment their feelings change. They can’tseem to bring themselves to cry, more numb to everything than anything else.They tell him to let go of their face, breaking eye contact with him. Hecomplies, wishing they would cry or get angry or something because their lack of reaction worried him more than anyother action could. They sidle up next to him and he wraps an arm around theirwaist. They apologize, but to whom he didn’t know. He sighs and tells them thathe’s there for them so there’s no need for them to force themselves. “I know.I’ll be okay.” Is all that’s said, but their sobbing that night doesn’t escapehis notice. Knowing that he should probably leave them to mourn in their ownway, but unable to leave them alone, he comes into the room and hugs them frombehind. “Idiot. Don’t take it all by yourself.”

I’ve been waiting for this

SHIRO!KANEKI chokes on nothing, surprised by their sudden confession. “I’msorry, I didn’t mean for it to come out so suddenly!” They’re hiding their facebehind their hands in embarrassment. Once Kaneki, regains his composure, hereassures his partner that there’s nothing to apologize for, and they lowertheir hands from their face. “I love you too.” With a startled sound, theycover their face once more.

AYATO goes red, all the way to the tips of his ears. His first reaction is tosay “what?” because he’s surprised. They just repeat their confession, thistime taking one of his hands into both of theirs. He can feel his face heat upeven more (how uncool) and averts his gaze. “I know that you dummy.” And thenhe follows those words with an uncharacteristically meek “Love you too, dumbass.”

This is a million years too late but here it is

SHIRO!KANEKI sleeps a lot more lightly than he did in the past, so he’saware of when his partner leaves the bed. He doesn’t think much of it, but astime goes on he begins to worry for his partner. He tries to reason withhimself; there are plenty of reasons as to why someone would get out of bed inthe middle of the night. Unable to quell his worry, he goes off in search ofhis partner. He finds them in the kitchen. Upon noticing Kaneki’s presence,they let out a sound somewhere between shock and embarrassment. Sheepishly,they greet him, explaining they got hungry and couldn’t sleep and thus, decidedto eat something. He breathes through his nostrils, relieved that the reasonbehind their disappearance had been a mundane one. Kaneki gives them a smilebefore walking by their side and ruffling their hair.

YOMO wakes up shortly after his partner vacate the bed; he knows thisbecause their side of the bed is still warm when he reaches over. He wonderswhere his partner has wandered off to, but right before he decides to leave insearch of them; their sleepy form reenters the room. Yomo asks where they wentoff to, and his partner replies that they were cold and went to get anotherblanket. They stifle a yawn with said blanket before crawling back into bed. Sensingthat Yomo had been worried for them, they settle themselves next to Yomo,draping the blanket over both of them. “Goodnight!” they say cheerfully, beforesnuggling into his side. He drapes an arm around their sleepy form, satisfiedthat his partner is where they ought to be: by his side.

AYATO is a light sleeper so he’s surprised when he doesn’t notice their lackof presence sooner. He worries immediately due to the nature of hisaffiliations. His mind races a mile a minute, thinking of all the horriblethings that could have happened. He attempts to still the worried pace of hisheart, maybe they had to use the bathroom, maybe they were getting a glass ofwater, but he can’t manage to convince himself that that’s the case. Frustrated,he gets out of bed and stomps off ready to break some bones if anyone haddecided to mess with his partner. He hears some shuffling outside and issurprised to see his partner huddled over something.“Ah, hi Ayato. I heard some noise and found this little guy.” They gesture towhat he now sees is a bird, who’s wing has been patched up, presumably by hispartner. “I couldn’t just leave it alone like that.” No longer anticipating anenemy, he just sighs. “Come back to bed with me.”

NAKI wakes up in the middle of the night and panics when he can’t find hispartner. He immediately jumps to the conclusion that something awful must havehappened to them. He goes off in search of them, calling their name softly,ready to bring them back by his side. After searching for a couple hours, hegives up, resolving to ask someone for help in the morning.  Maybe Yamori would help him find his partner!He’s still worried about what might have happened then, but he’s confident thathe would be able to rescue his partner tomorrow, and so he returns to the room.And when he returns to the room, he finds his partner on the floor, next totheir side of the bed. Oh. So they had rolled off of the bed.

Yep, headcanons are perfectly acceptable! No problem, babe~

NAKI

Naki likes gardening in his free time, there’s just something appealing about caring for something to him. Even though he likes taking care of plants very much, he isn’t very good at it. He’s filled with a ridiculous amount of pride when something actually sprouts, let alone grows.

Although he won’t outwardly admit it, he enjoys hairdressing as a hobby. Unlike his gardening hobby, he’s really good at styling hair, be it a complex or simple hairstyle.

As far as musical tastes go, he listens to lounge and cabaret. He finds any genre that employs extensive use of electromechanical sound to be a bit too abrasive.

AYATO

Ayato is really good at soccer and enjoys it. He always kicks the ball too hard though. One time, he kicked the ball so hard that it broke through the goal net.

He’s also fairly decent at breakdancing. He saw someone performing on the streets once and thought it looked kind of cool so he tried it out. Ayato isn’t  dancing master by any means, but he’s all right at it.

Ayato‘s taste in music lie in rock and all of its sub-genres.  The occasional electronica also finds its way to his ears. 

YOMO

Yomo likes to keep a journal. It isn’t a diary per se, but he records all sorts of things. Some of it is purely factual, some of it introspective, but all of it somehow linking to his life. He wants to leave something behind so that someone can remember that he existed, even long after he’s gone.

Bird keeping is something he’d like to be able to take up, but he lacks the space (among other resources) to do so. Not to mention that the avian reptiles are so diverse in their needs that it’s probably all for the best.

My first-aid knowledge is a bit rusty so I had to double check ^^”
