Surprisingly enough, the days since that incident in the shower went by without either of us mentioning what happened. It further confirmed my thoughts of it meaning nothing to him. He didn't treat me any differently, which was a relief and made things less awkward. At my last check-up, my doctor said I no longer needed the leg brace and that I should start walking to strengthen it. They changed my arm cast as well, replacing it with a less bulky version that made it easier to move. My hip still gave me trouble though, and due to that, I started to walk with a noticeable limp.
Hide started driving us to school after my brace was removed. I told him that walking would be good for me, but he insisted on taking me himself. It's getting harder for me to say no to him, mainly since one of the last times I seriously tried was when I got aroused in front of him. I remembered the expression he made as he insisted on handling the problem himself. I won't lie, it still turned me on imagining his face as he sat behind me, wondering what was going on in his mind as he made me come. A knock on the door shook me from that fantasy.
"Time to get going Kaneki, you ready?" Hide said through the door. I pulled myself up from my chair and leaned against the arm while I balanced my backpack on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm coming out now," I replied as I started for the door. Taking small steps is more comfortable on my hip, though it takes me longer to get around. Hide hasn't once acted impatient with me though. I opened the door to see him smiling as he reached out to take my bag.
"And I'll take that, no need adding extra weight to yourself while you're still recovering. You know I don't mind carrying your stuff."
"I-I know that, but still..."
"Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I may not be able to stay over as long to help you out anymore. I picked up a part-time job, but only for a short while. I'll still make sure you're taken care of, so don't worry, okay?" Hide looked back at me, smiling. I felt like he was waiting to see my reaction to the news.
"Is that wise? With your classes, you don't want to put too much strain on yourself. You already spend so much of your free time helping me; I don't want that to hinder your studies."
"It's only a few hours a week; it'll hardly make a difference. And my studies haven't been affected at all. I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either," Hide said as he turned back and opened his car door for me.
He parked in the lot and we started making our way into the school. Our first classes were in the same area, so we typically walked together. There have been moments where Hide gets ahead of me since my pace is much slower. He'll realize I'm not at his side anymore, then stop to wait for me to catch up. He tries to disguise it, but I usually catch this look on his face that seems like he's sad about something. Today hasn't been much different, with Hide getting further ahead while I'm left limping along slowly.
"Hey, Gimpy! Try hopping along a little faster, some of us want to make it to class sometime today!"
I turned around to see who was harassing me and saw that it was my friend Touka's younger brother, Ayato. He'd always had a bad temper and a mouth to go with it. It didn't surprise me that he would be the one to call me out like this. I ignored him and continued on my way when I noticed Hide start to tense up; his hands squeezed tightly into fists.
Hide suddenly whirled around and reached past me, grabbed Ayato by his shirt and pulled him closer until their faces were mere inches apart.
"What kind of sorry bastard makes fun of an injured person like that? Maybe I should beat you until you're in the same situation, so you can see what it's like! You ever insult Kaneki like that again, and I'll do just that!"
He let go of Ayato's shirt and backed away from him. Adrenaline still racing, I could see his breathing had increased. Something I couldn't believe I was seeing was the look of hate and anger in his eyes. Not once have I ever seen him react so aggressively to anything or anyone.
Ayato straightened his shirt collar and replied, "Oh yeah? I'd like to see you try that. I bet even if you did manage to hurt me, I'd still get around faster than that crippled little wimp. Does he always get you to fight his battles for him? Or maybe you're protecting him as payback? Rumor is that you're the one that ran him over and gave him that gimpy leg to start with!"
Hide had no control over himself after hearing that. He charged at Ayato, grabbing him by his throat and shaking him violently. I got over there as quickly as I could, and just as Hide pulled his arm back to throw the first punch, I grabbed it at the elbow with my free hand and held tight.
"Hide, please stop! You don't have to do this for my sake, it doesn't have to go this far," I exclaimed as I continued holding Hide's arm to prevent him from striking Ayato.
Hide continued his ranting, focusing on the boy that he had in front of him.
"It's true! I did cause him to get hurt, but you have no idea what it's been like for him! You didn't see him barely alive on the ground, or in his hospital bed, crying from the pain. Do you have any idea how much it hurts me to see him limping like that, knowing that I'm the one responsible for his pain? You little prick..." Hide stopped struggling against my grip and dropped his arm as well as his hold on Ayato's neck. "You couldn't handle half as much as Kaneki's gone through over the last few weeks. If I ever see you bother him again, I'll... I'll break half the bones in your body; you got me?"
Ayato's fearful expression made it clear that he got Hide's message loud and clear. He gingerly rubbed his hand against his neck. "Whatever, it's not worth the effort."
He walked away quickly as the crowd around us began to do the same. Only Hide and I remained, and I realized I was still holding onto his arm. I let go and ran my hand through my hair nervously. My fingers rubbed at the side of my neck before resting on my chin.
"It was just some younger kid's teasing, it really doesn't bother me, Hide. It's not like it's the first time I've been bullied like that, but honestly, I don't mind it at all."
Hide was still breathing heavy, he was even shaking. What I saw next hurt more than anything that came out of Ayato's mouth that day.
Hide was crying.
