"Hide, why are you crying? Please don't be upset; I'm fine with it!" I wanted to pull him close and hold him until he felt like himself again. But being in the middle of campus made that difficult. I settled for putting my hand on his shoulder instead.
"I'm sorry, Kaneki, but I know you're not 'fine with it.' You're too nice to be treated that way, whether you're bothered by it or not. I let my emotions get the better of me back there, and I apologize if I scared you. I meant every word I said, though. I feel so guilty seeing you like this and knowing it's my fault. I'm trying to make things right with you, but honestly, I don't think I could ever do enough to manage that." He wiped his sleeve across his face, erasing the paths his tears took down his cheeks.
"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Hide. You've gone far beyond what anyone would do for someone in this situation. You were good enough to keep me company and help me while I recover. Whatever your reasoning, you're a good person and shouldn't feel guilty about what happened to me." It amazed me how easy it was to say that to Hide. I don't think I could have said something like this to him before the accident. Not without stuttering over every other word or speaking too low for him even to hear me.
Hide took in a deep cleansing breath then smiled. "You're too kind, man. But I think we should get to class. I feel like I should redeem myself after all this depressing stuff. How about we go out tonight after school. My treat?" He put his arm over my right shoulder and pulled me close.
"Umm, yeah sure. Sounds good," I said as we made our way to our respective classrooms. It was a relief to see Hide acting like himself again. I wonder what he had in mind for tonight, the anticipation of it made me smile.
"So, you've never been to a club before?!"
"You don't have to say it with such a surprised voice, Hide. I just like to keep to myself, but it's certainly interesting in here. And kind of loud." The music was blasting throughout the building. The bass thumped hard enough for me to feel the reverberations in my chest.
Hide led me towards the bar. "I'll buy you a drink, what do you want?"
"Well, I haven't tried much alcohol either, so I don't know what I'd like."
He covered his face with his hand and chuckled, "Really?! You are old enough to drink, right?"
"Of course I am! It's just... I never really had the opportunity, and drinking alone didn't seem like much fun, so..."
"Well, that's ending tonight my friend! We should probably start you off with something light since I'm not sure how well you handle your alcohol. You won't be drinking alone; I'll be right here with you so have some fun, okay?" He turned to the bartender and ordered our drinks. He soon handed me a glass, "Here, this is orange juice and vodka. It's called a screwdriver. Since you don't know your tolerance yet, just go easy and sip it."
"Mmm, it's not too bad," I said as I tasted it. We walked around the bar for a little while, listening to the music and watching other people dance to it.
"You want to sit down for a bit? We can find a table towards the back."
I nodded, my hip had been aching a little more than usual since the morning. I took some pain medicine before leaving my place but sitting would help more at this point.
We made our way towards the back, Hide taking my right hand to lead me through the crowd. His hand was warm and it distracted me from the surroundings. Hide came to a sudden stop, which made me run into him. I looked to see what caused him to halt so suddenly and saw another guy in front of us.
"Well hello, Hide, it's been too long since we've seen you here." The man wore a well-fitting yet eccentric purple suit.
"I've just had better things to do, Tsukiyama. I see you haven't changed at all."
"And why would I change, dear Hide? Just because we've had some disagreements in the past, that doesn't mean we can't make up for them here in the present. Oh, and who do we have here?" He ducked to the side to get a closer look at me. "I didn't realize you had brought a guest with you. What is your name, dear boy?"
"Uhm, I'm Kaneki Ken. I-It's nice to meet you."
"Well isn't he just the cutest!" He walked around Hide and leaned closer to my face. "So well-mannered and easy on the eyes as well. I could just simply devour you!"
"He's not interested, so back off. Let's go Kaneki," Hide said as he took my hand once again and quickly walked away from Tsukiyama. Once we got a good distance away, he turned to face me. "Keep your distance from that guy, okay? He's only good for causing trouble. Hmm, maybe we should just take off and find somewhere else to go."
I didn't know why Hide had such an aversion to this Tsukiyama guy; he seemed like a decent person. My glass was empty, and I started to feel a little light-headed. "No, we don't have to leave, I'm sure it'll be fine. Did you want to get more drinks, I'm out of mine."
"I'm still not finished with my first yet, but I can go get you a refill if you'd like," he said as he took my empty glass. "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere."
The lights grew more intense as they synced with the music, flashing and spinning in all directions. My head started to feel strange, and the urge to pee hit me as well. I looked around for a bathroom and slowly made my way towards it.
Tsukiyama stepped in front of me just as I reached the doorway to the restroom. "Ahh, little Kaneki, how are you doing? I apologize for earlier. I fear that Hide may not be over our little spats from when he used to frequent this establishment. My, you look a little pale, are you feeling alright?"
"I-I just need to use the bathroom, thanks for asking but I'm fine."
"You don't look fine, dear Kaneki. Here, let me help you," he said as he opened the bathroom door for me. Thanking him, I stepped inside and went into a urinal stall. Leaning against the privacy wall, I relieved myself but suddenly felt dizzy.
Tsukiyama started talking from across the room but I couldn't make sense of what he was saying. As he approached his words grew clearer.
"Let's find a place for you to sit down. I imagine your injuries haven't completely healed yet, have they?" He glanced at the cast on my left arm.
"How did you know about..."
"I have my sources, Kaneki. Your accident didn't go unnoticed. And since I have you here in private, I'll even share this little detail with you. There's more to your accident than what Hide has likely told you."
"W-What do you mean?" Tsukiyama was getting closer. I pressed my back against the wall but could retreat no further. My limbs grew numb; even if I could run away, I wouldn't have made it very far.
"Enough talk, why don't we get to know each other a little more... personally?" One of his legs moved between my own, his knee nudged against the front of my pants. The sudden contact sent a chill throughout me. Even in this haze, I felt his leg stimulate me and force my breath to quicken. He pinned my free hand to the wall and leaned in for a kiss. Did I really want him to kiss me, though?
