sorry I have no excuse for waiting so long to write this, oh well. at least it's finished now! I may have gotten distracted with my other ongoing fic

I didn't mean for this to turn into what it did but the words wrote themselves, so enjoy hehe

There was a knock on Hide's door at 6:02 pm.

"You're late," Hide said to Kaneki when he opened the door, grinning.

Kaneki smiled and rolled his eyes before stepping into the flat. It was surprisingly clean; he had expected Hide to be a messy person. "I brought a blanket," he stated, holding a bag up for Hide to see. "You said I knew what to bring…is this what you were talking about?"

Hide chuckled. "Yep, that's exactly what I meant."

Showing him to the couch, Hide grabbed the snacks from the kitchen and popped in the DVD before plopping down beside Kaneki. They spread the blanket across themselves. Kaneki took most of it, but Hide wasn't complaining. He had wrapped himself up like a tight burrito, and it was honestly the most adorable thing Hide had ever seen in his life. To reach the bowl of snacks placed in between them, Kaneki was forced to wiggle a hand out the top of the blanket burrito he had encased himself in and would then motion to the bowl. Hide then placed a chip in his hand, which he ate contentedly.

"There's a lot of commercials at the beginning," Kaneki stated, mouth full of chips. "One reason why I like Netflix better than the video store."

If Netflix had this movie, I wouldn't be in this situation, Hide mused. Thank God it didn't.

Finally, after more commercials than Hide ever thought was possible, the movie began. "I've been waiting for this my entire life," he said in excitement. Kaneki beamed happily in response, snuggling further into his blanket burrito.

As the movie went on, Kaneki and Hide got progressively closer. By the time it was an hour in, they were sitting on the same seat cushion, Kaneki's head on Hide's shoulder. Somewhat anxious, Hide spent ten minutes debating whether or not to put his arm around Kaneki. Ultimately, he did, and Kaneki snuggled as close to Hide as the blanket would let him.

"I'm really hot, one second," Kaneki said a few minutes later. Shedding the blanket, he tossed it on the side of the couch and repositioned himself on Hide. "Is this…is this okay?" he asked quietly.

His head was laying on Hide's chest and one of his arms was strewn across Hide's stomach. Wrapping his arms around Kaneki and pulling him closer, Hide smiled and replied, "Yeah, it is."

Kaneki's eyelids fluttered closed and his breathing began to steady. He fell asleep within minutes. Hide ran a hand through his dark locks of hair, brushing his bangs out of his closed eyes to see his face while he slept. The movie played on, forgotten. Hide could only focus on Kaneki. Leaning closer, he lightly pressed a kiss to Kaneki's forehead before closing his eyes and resting his head on the smaller boy's own.

Kaneki awoke sometime later. He was unsure of the time. The TV was back on the play screen of the movie, music playing softly in the background. Hide, whose head still rested on Kaneki's, exhaled in his sleep. Heart pounding, Kaneki turned and saw his friend's face incredibly close to his.

All of a sudden, he wanted nothing more than to take Hide's lips in between his own. But that would be too soon, right? He had literally just met the guy yesterday and he already wanted to kiss him. Well, he wanted to kiss him yesterday, but that was aside from the point. Desire gripped him, and Kaneki found himself wanting to succumb to it more and more with each passing second.

He had always been a believer in love at first sight. Maybe it was because he liked cheesy romances, or maybe it was because he had always been secretly waiting for something like it to happen to him. It didn't make a difference which one it was—all he knew was that he liked Hideyoshi Nagachika, and that fact wasn't changing. While love at first sight did seem to have its complications most of the time, he had a feeling that if he took a chance with Hide, it would most certainly pay off.

Pushing aside his shy and timid nature—all the while hoping Hide didn't wake up—Kaneki tentatively pressed his lips against Hide's. They were as soft as Kaneki imagined they would be. Slowly, he moved his arm off Hide's stomach and brought it up to his face, cupping it. His eyes suddenly shot open in surprise when he felt a response from the other. Hide opened his own eyes and smiled into the kiss. Kaneki, startled, pulled back immediately, clamping a hand over his mouth.

"You didn't think I was asleep this whole time, did you?" Hide asked slyly, a playful look in his eyes.

"I—well, uh, I just—"

Hide laughed merrily, tugging Kaneki back down to meet his lips once again. Kaneki moved his hand out of the way just in time for their lips to collide, this time in full force. The kiss gradually became more and more heated. As it reached its peak, they suddenly slowed down, pulled back, and opened their eyes. Hide's soft brown eyes silently asked permission to do more. Kaneki nodded and they delved back into kissing, and it was now even more heated and desperate, like they couldn't get enough of each other. Not interrupting the kiss, Kaneki slowly moved into a position where he was straddling Hide's lap, his arms around the other's neck. Hide's own arms sought Kaneki's hips, where they fiddled with the waistband of his underwear.

Kaneki moved his hips back and forth, eliciting a moan from Hide's mouth. If he hadn't been turned on before, he was now. He wasn't normally an amorous person, but this was pushing him past his normal boundaries. Kaneki was completely out of his comfort zone and he couldn't deny that he was enjoying every second of it.

Feverishly, Hide pulled Kaneki's shirt off and tossed it into the darkness of the flat, his own following soon after. Kaneki ran his hands over Hide's bare chest before kissing him again and again, so many times that he was beginning to lose track of how long they had been kissing. But it didn't matter. Nothing but Hide mattered.

"We should probably, uh, move…" Kaneki suggested when they broke apart for air. By that point, Hide was on the brink of tears from the overwhelming feeling of happiness in his chest—and, he might add, the overwhelming feeling of pleasure in his crotch.

"Yeah, good idea," he replied. Kaneki got off and they practically ran to the bedroom before shutting the door and resuming where they were on Hide's bed. Hide took of his pants and kicked them away and then helped Kaneki out of his. Throwing them behind him, he leaned back in to kiss Kaneki, who suddenly burst into a fit of giggles. "What?" he questioned, turning around.

The pants had gotten stuck in the ceiling fan.

Kaneki couldn't contain his laughter and he fell back against the bed, clutching his stomach. Hide began snickering as well until they were both laughing as hard as they could, unable to form any coherent word. Staggering over to the fan switch, Hide, still giggling, turned on the fan in an attempt to get them down. The pants spun around with it, caught on a blade. This caused Kaneki to laugh even harder, to the point where he couldn't breathe, and he rolled over on his side. Hide nearly fell over trying to get back to the bed, wiping tears away from his eyes. "Breathe, man, breathe!" he said, lightly slapping Kaneki's back because that was all he could do as his body wracked with continuous laughter.

The pants continued to fly around with the fan until they finally loosened before flying off, smacking Hide square in the face. And that was it.

Kaneki was in hysterics. In a fruitless attempt to sit up and look at Hide, Kaneki, who had unfortunately placed himself by the edge of the bed, fell off the side. "Dude, are you okay?" Hide asked, concerned, but unable to hold back his laughter.

Kaneki, still chuckling but regaining some of his breath, replied from the floor, "I'm fantastic, thanks for asking."

Hide climbed onto the bed and looked over the edge at Kaneki, who had propped himself against the wall. "Come back up, unless you think you'll fall again," he teased. Grinning, he extended an arm, which Kaneki took and used to pull himself up. As he got on the bed, Hide snickered.

"You know, I've been cock-blocked by a number of things in my time, but never by a fan," he said. Kaneki grinned in amusement. It was then he remembered what they had been about to do before the pants incident. He suddenly felt heat rise to his face, and he looked away in embarrassment. Hide noticed his sudden discomfort and gave him a reassuring smile. "If you don't want to, we don't have to, Kaneki," he said. "We did kind of get caught up in the moment. If you're not comfortable, just tell me, okay?"

How was he going to put this without sounding like a total loser? "Well, it's not that I don't want to, but…"

Thankfully, Hide instantly understood without him having to say it. "Don't worry about it! We all have to start somewhere, right?"

Kaneki shrugged his shoulders and smiled sheepishly. Sure, he had done a few things in the past, but he had never actually done it. Frankly, it worried him a bit. But, like Hide said, everyone started somewhere. Kaneki figured it might as well be with Hide, who wouldn't care how bad he was.

Then, Hide grinned and said, "Your pants kind of killed the mood, though."

"H-hey! That wasn't my fault! You were the one who threw them," Kaneki pouted.

He laughed. "I know, I know! My bad. How about we just call it a night and save it for some other time?"

"Yeah," Kaneki agreed, smiling. "Let's do that."

They ended up a mess of intertwined limbs under the covers, but it was nice. Neither Kaneki nor Hide could have asked for a better ending to the night, or to the many nights to come.

Some people didn't believe in love at first sight, but it didn't matter what other people believed in.

Hide and Kaneki both knew their love would last.
