"Looks like your arm has healed well, Kaneki. The sling isn't necessary anymore but hold onto it just in case. If you feel any discomfort, you can put it back on, but try to get more activity out of it. I can put you in for some physical therapy appointments if you'd like."
"Thank you, Dr. Yoshimura. So, am I cleared to go back to work now?"
The doctor looked at my arm, "Well, I'd prefer that you built up your strength first, but if you have to go back, I can allow you to do so on a light duty basis. No heavy lifting or pulling. In other words, stay away from those carts, okay? I'll notify your supervisor about your clearance and light duty restriction. I'll see you again in two weeks for a follow-up."
"Yes, thank you, Doctor."
Walking back home, I considered texting Hide to let him know I was alright now. But the more I thought about it, the longer I hesitated. If I tell him that I'm better now, wouldn't that mean that he'd have no reason to come over anymore? I thought that maybe if I delayed telling him, I could enjoy his company just a little bit longer. So, I put the sling back on and went home.
"Sorry to hear you'll be in that sling awhile longer, Kaneki. Don't worry though; I'll still have you covered here with your chores!"
It was hard to look him in the eyes, especially considering how exhausted he looked. He had work and school today and still came over to help me. Even as we were eating the dinner he brought over; I saw him dozing off between bites of food. It wasn't fair to him, and yet I couldn't tell him that I didn't need his help anymore. Instead, I decided to focus on a different problem.
"Hide, I know it isn't my business, but I feel like I should say something. I-I think that you should quit your job before you over-exert yourself. I'm not sure why you feel it necessary to work, but if you end up sick or worse, it's just not worth it! You can barely stay awake right now. If this keeps up, you could get hurt. I-I'd hate to see that happen to you..."
Hide's fatigue seemed to retreat as he listened to me; his smile felt more intense than usual.
"I'm happy to know that you're worried about me Kaneki. I know how much I can take, and I'm nowhere near that point yet. I appreciate your concern, though. So, I was thinking... Do you want to catch a movie with me this Friday? I'll have the whole day free, so I'd like to get out and do something fun. I'd be thrilled if you'd join me."
He sidestepped the issue again. But more importantly... the movies?! With me?
"U-Uh sure, that does sound like fun. But only if you get enough rest before then, okay? Skip coming over here if you need to. It wouldn't be much fun if you fell asleep halfway through the show."
"Haha, I guess you're right, Kaneki. I promise I won't fall asleep though."
True to his word, he was alert and energetic Friday afternoon when he came by to pick me up. We got a quick meal at the burger place near the theater before getting tickets to the latest monster flick. We took our seats in the middle of the top row and looked out to see a nearly empty room. There were a few other people that were seated much further down and out of our way. Hide sat to my right so I'd have a place to prop my arm up on the rest to my left.
"Is this a good spot? I always like sitting here; it feels like we're the only ones in the room once the movie starts," Hide said as he settled in.
"Yeah, it's nice. I don't go to the movies that often. Thanks for inviting me to come along."
"No worries. The pleasure's all mine, Kaneki."
As the show began, the lights dimmed, reflecting the screen's brightness back against us. Now and then I'd steal a glance towards Hide to see his reactions to the movie. I didn't expect him to be interested in this type of movie genre. He seemed to enjoy it though, smiling and laughing at all the right scenes.
As my attention went back to the movie, Hide put his left hand down on the armrest between us, covering my hand with his own. I suppose we could share the space, nothing wrong with that. His warmth felt nice when combined with the darkened room. At least no one was nearby to see us. His thumb slowly rubbed the back of my hand, gentle and soft. I felt a chill run through me as he continued touching my hand, massaging the area under my thumb. How was I supposed to react to this? Maybe he was trying to get me to move my hand or something. I slowly retracted my arm, giving up the space for him to use.
Hide glanced down between us, then looked at me and smiled. His hand wandered over to the top of my right leg, pausing for a moment just above my knee. Hide slowly moved his hand further up my thigh, his fingers grazing the fabric of my pants with firm but steady pressure. In my panic, I couldn't think of any words to say, but my body understood it loud and clear. My pants grew tight as his lingering touch made me hard with anticipation. I felt myself ache as he got closer, wondering just how far I was willing to let him go. How far should I let him get?
"W-What do you think you're doing?!" I whispered as my temporary paralysis lifted and I crossed my legs to both hide my erection and avoid any further advance by his fingers.
"I wanted to see your reaction. You're cute when you're embarrassed; you know that?"
Hide turned to face me, casually draping his left arm over the back of his seat while laying his face on his forearm. Seeing him look so handsome did nothing to calm my lustful urges. My face felt flushed as I attempted to slide further up in my seat, trying to avoid his wandering hands while also trying to make sense of what he was saying.
"You should save that sort of stuff for your girlfriend, don't you think?" I didn't know how else to explain his actions. Maybe he was tired and thought that he was sitting next to her instead of me.
Hide just stared at me, confusion written all over his face, illuminated by the light from the movie screen.
"Who said I was dating anybody?"
"Well, I know you never mentioned anyone, but someone like you... I just figured you would be in a relationship with someone."
Hide reached out and put his hand on my forearm.
"Of course I never mentioned anyone, Kaneki. Why would I do that when you're the person I'm interested in dating in the first place?"
