Summary: Kaneki goes to Uta's studio to drop off a gift. Hijinks ensue and the poor half-ghoul can't help but wonder if he's just a type of person who's easy to tease. Kaneki/Uta friendship drabble.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Ghoul; all I own is my excitement for the impending anime!

Coffee for Tattooed Ghouls

.

.

With a bundle of coffee products in his hands, Kaneki Ken rushed through the streets towards the direction of Uta's studio. After getting lost a few times due to the maze of alleyways, he finally managed to find the hidden flat, politely knocking on the door. Still out of breath, he waited, adjusting his eye-patch with his free hand.

There was no answer.

Frowning, the dark-haired boy turned the doorknob, realizing it was open. Letting himself in, he dropped the brown paper bag on the nearest available counter. The lights were dimmed in the studio, causing the boy to stumble through the dark in search of the tattooed ghoul.

"Uta-san? Are you here?" He called out, walking blindly through the studio.

Kaneki had only wanted to make some coffee for the kind ghoul— and give him some extra, specially brewed coffee that he could stock up on. It was the least he could do since the ghoul had made him an amazing mask without asking for anything in return.

It was when he turned back towards the door, assuming that the friendly ghoul was away, that he felt two firm hands on his shoulders. The youth squeaked out in surprise, feeling himself pulled back into someone's chest.

"Boo." Uta teased, giving the boy a soft hug from behind. Still frozen in surprise, Kaneki focused on controlling his rampant heartbeat, relieved to see that it was only Uta.

That was scary… Kaneki thought to himself, once he regained his bearings.

"Uta-san, why did you do that?" Kaneki whined once he was freed from the older man's grasp, turning around to frown at the tattooed ghoul.

Uta thought about it for a moment, placing a finger on his chin as he craned his neck to the side. "…Sorry. It's fun scaring you."

This time the ghoul reached out for the boy slowly, giving a soft smile. Kaneki remained perfectly still as the man patted his head, ruffling his hair.

"It's nice to see you, Kaneki-kun. I'm glad you stopped by." He said sincerely, moving away to turn on the lights. Soon, the room was bathed in light, revealing the paper bag beside Uta's work desk.

The dark-haired ghoul pointed at the gift. "I smell coffee. Is that for me?"

Kaneki nodded, giving a wide grin. "Yes. I wanted to thank you for the mask. It really helped me a few days ago."

Uta smiled in turn. "I'm glad. I think I'll have some now— with an eyeball or two. Do you want a snack, Kaneki-kun?"

The boy's face twisted into a frown. "N-no thanks. I'm not… hungry."

Uta shrugged. "Suit yourself…"
