[ Kaneki shakes his head] They can be, yes. It's... Hard sometimes, to know what to feel about some of your family.

[Kaneki does not hate his aunt. But he surely was hated by her.]

I don't remember my father, he passed away when I was four. But he left many books behind and... I don't know, I thought I could get closer to him and understand him, if I understood the many books he read. [ Kaneki smiles before he chuckles, shaking his head] It was a silly thought. But that's how I became a nerd.

[ Kaneki grins wider, finishing cleaning the dishes before he comes closer to Dirk]

If you didn't have parents... How did you have a brother? [ another clone? Dirk's whole... Not-family is a bit confusing]

[ When Dirk mentions the tattoo, Kaneki gently reaches for it. he has asked about it before, although not in depth, but it made sense then and now it makes a lot more. Kaneki traces it, although he eventually realizes he should not be touching without permission, so his hand falls. ]

Yeah. As if something had been left behind for us. [ Kaneki is aware that's not a thing but... he was just a child desperate for a connection. he is certain Dirk felt the same.

Kaneki nods softly as he hears the explanation. Different timelines... Dirk is aware of them, but most people would not, right? But it could be related to the game, too, the game that destroyed the world.

And made Dirk immortal.

There is so much to unpack. ]


And you are. I'm sure you are a great brother in both timelines. [ obviously kaneki never read homestuck ] ... Can I ask... who made all of that happen? Who did the genetic combinations and clones. Was it the game you played?

[ Holy shit Dirk your life.

It's A LOT.

So much.

Kaneki listens, he gives him all the attention to try and put all the pieces together. He doesn't know about aliens (trolls? isn't that a fantasy beast? Well, kaneki is a ghoul and not the ghost kind, so who is he to judge what a race of aliens calls themselves), but still manages to piece some things together. Two timelines; beta and alpha. In each different one there are guardians and they are different in each timeline... but still the same, apparently.

But he also understand the issues regarding family. Because in the end, Dirk has no blood connections and lived completely alone with another girl - Roxy, right, Kaneki remembers - in a desolated world. All he had was the memory of a brother.

But that last part causes Kaneki's chest to squeeze. He frowns a little, and forgets about personal space again, so his hand can reach the side of Dirk's face and push the blond hair away from it with a stroke ]
Hey.

You are not just that. I doubt a NPC in a game would enjoy food like this, or talk like this, or exist like this. Or touch me like you do. And even if your existence is complicated, here you are. Living, despite it all.

And I see you. [ Kaneki knows he is not enough. But he will give as much as he can.]

Others see you as well.

[ His pulse quickens at the kiss, but it also feels warmer now. Just like Kaneki's chest. But he does not pull away and instead Ken's other hand reaches for Dirk's face again, to stroke his cheek.

Of course he doesn't reject the kiss that follows next either, kissing Dirk back softly, lovingly ]


Dirk. You are good to me. So you are enough, a thousand times enough. [ and so hard on himself. He could be perfect and perhaps would still not be enough to him, because that's human nature, isn't it?

Kaneki smiles while still stroking the blonde's cheek. ]
Let me decide that for myself. So far, you are in the clear. [ he says playfully, before pressing his forehead against Dirk's ]

You will be alright.

Dirk, you do have friends, you know?

[ even if he has a hard time calling it that. But in the end, Kaneki knows it's hard to see yourself and the way you are; it's hard to accept positive things about oneself too, and Kaneki is guilty of it many many times. Kaneki also knows it will take a while until Dirk actually believes him, so for now he will just remind him he doesn't see him as a bad person at all.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

Kaneki smiles into the kiss, before his hand moves to Dirk's cheek, stroking it gently, slowly ]


I will keep going until it does. [ he dares to lean in for another kiss, but this time he keeps their lips pressed longer, until Ken dares to press his tongue against Dirk's lips. It should be fine, right? They are already kissing after all. Why not more? ]

[ Dirk would have to do something really bad to kaneki for him to actually think that and even if Dirk argues, he won't listen.

Specially when there are kisses like that. Specially when Dirk accepts those kisses and kisses him back, specially when Dirk touches him so lovingly, specially when Dirk calls him pet-names... there is no way Kaneki can ever see this person in a bad light, when this person has given him so much already.

Dirk could have anyone he wanted in this place. And yet here he is, kissing Kaneki as if he is the most precious thing in the world.

With a small happy sound, Kaneki comes closer and rests his hands on Dirk's shoulders, breaking the kiss so he can whisper against his lips ]
Dinner isn't over yet.

There is still dessert left. [ and Kaneki means himself.

OH BOY OH BOY. Look at Kaneki's attempt to be seductive. Amazing stuff.
Honestly, he feels like that was really corny and bad, and he can't help but to criticize himself for the weak flirtation tactic. But he did try, and is even trying to keep a straight face despite the blush - until he snorts and shakes his head ]


That was really bad. I'm not good at this.

[ kaneki's face turns bright red, even thought at least this time he doesn't thinking about just running away and dig a hole to die there. Instead, he actually laughs while Dirk covers his face in kisses, but specially at that cavities comment ]

You are worst than I am...! [ Kaneki's hands reach towards Dirk, one holding the back of the blond head while the other rests at his cheek ]

You are into really strange things-- [' and yet kaneki is genuinely happy, placing several kisses against Dirk's lips, before kaneki finally wraps his arms around his shoulders ]

Sit down. I will give you all the cavities.
