Dimanche
“Hey.. um, I--” Your breath hitched when you see Kaneki so peaceful on the sofa clutching a book, mouth parted slightly as soft snores escape. The sunlight streaming from the open window made his white hair cast a halo around his head. He was beautiful. You smile as you come in contact with the tip of his nose which was cold. This made him sniff and caused his eyes to flutter open.
He smiled when he saw you, taking your hand in his and placing it against his cheek. “Good morning.”
“I made food. You wanna come eat?” You blushed, looking away as he kissed your palm.
“Mhmm. What did you make?”
“Well, your favourite, I suppose. Can you make the coffee?” You asked hopefully, walking beside him as you two made your way downstairs. The smell of meat greeting you two. He made his way towards the kitchen, grabbing the mugs set on the table.
“You want the usual? Or would you like it iced?” You roll your eyes, knowing he never listens to you when it comes to coffee. And you were right as he places steaming mugs in front of you along with cubes of sugar and a carton of milk.
After practically gobbling the food, you decide to take time appreciating the hot beverage. Puffs of white clouds were huffed out, feet tucked under sweatshirts as you let the crackling of fire and the smell of caffeine, oddly enough, put you in a serene state. Moments like this makes you wonder how lucky you are having him in your life and getting to spend each and every day with him. Kaneki reached out to poke your cheek and cocks his head, you take this as an invitation to head back to your bed, and you decide to wash the dishes later.
His kisses tasted sweet as you snuggle closer to him, your limbs tangled into a comfortable mess underneath the thick duvet. Whispers of “I love you”s were exchanged as the both of you were lulled to sleep to the sound of your hearts beating. And you wouldn’t have things in any other way.
