September 11, 2042*
After the successful trip to the festival the previous day another school day has arrived.
Natsuki: Everyone look! Kaneki! Turned into a child!
And upon arriving at Mato High, Natsuki immediately began showing off the picture of Kaneki when he literally turned into a child to her friends and classmates.
???: Woah! So cute!
???: Seriously? This guy really turned himself into a kid?
Kaneki: NATSUKI! STOP SHOWING THAT!
Upon seeing that Natsuki was showing his picture to everyone in the class he was immediately upset and tried to get everyone far from Natsuki.
Shino: Awww~ cute.
Yuuka: Haha! Who knew Kaneki would do something like this.
But with so many of his classmates around he couldn't get to her and without any other option he had no choice but to use a little force.
Wriggle~!
Wrap!
Everyone: Woah!
Grip!
Natsuki: Eek!
Kaneki had grew out a many tentacles out of his back and grabbed everyone who was near Natsuki before walking to her and grabbing Natsuki by the shoulders.
Shake~!
Natsuki: AHHH!
Kaneki: I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOW EVERYONE! WHY DID YOU SHOW EVERYONE?!
And he shooked her entire body while yelling at her for what she had done.
Natsuki: Sorry Haha. I couldn't help it.
Kaneki: Groan! Just for that you owe me a pizza!
Natsuki: Seriously?
Kaneki: Yes!
Natsuki: Okay okay I'll buy you a pizza at lunch later.
Kaneki: Good!
Yuuka: Hey Kaneki could you let us down now?
???: Yeah don't leave us hanging up here.
Kaneki: Oh yeah sorry.
After calming down a bit Kaneki gently let go of his friends and classmates.
Kaneki: Now then.. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THIS, GOT IT?
Kaneki really didn't want that embarrassing thing he did to spread so he made sure that his classmates weren't going to make it spread.
Everyone: Yes.
And they complied.
Everyone then went back to their spots while they wait for homeroom to start.
Kaneki: Sigh~ Seriously Natsuki.
After that whole ordeal Kaneki sat exhausted on his seat while the Higanbana girls watched from from a far and were talking about Kaneki.
Miku: I really didn't expect him to become a child.
Chikao: Hehe~ could you send me that picture later Natsuki?
Kaneki: Don't you dare!
Natsuki: Sorry I already messed with Kaneki enough today, if you want one go get one yourself.
Chikao: Boo~
Shino: Kaneki really does look so cute, even now he looks adorable.
Yuuka: Agreed! He's almost as cute as us!
Sachi: Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration Yuuka.
As they were talking about him, they were approached by a familiar face.
Itsuki: Hey girls can I have a moment?
It was Itsuki.
Miku: Oh Itsuki-san.
Yuuka: What is it?
Itsuki: Yeah it's something important, could we borrow Kaneki after school?
The Higanbana girls were shocked upon hearing Itsuki's sudden request to borrow Kaneki.
All 6: What? Why would you want to borrow Kaneki?
Itsuki gave them a good explanation to why he wanted to borrow Kaneki.
Itsuki: Well you see aside from me and a few others, Kaneki doesn't really have any other male friends right? Wouldn't it be a good idea for him to get along with other people more so of the same sex?
Sachi: Actually that does sound like a good idea.
Miku: Agreed.
Natsuki, Shino, Yuuka & Chikao: Just take good care of him alright alright?
Itsuki: We will! You heard them Kaneki?!
The Higanbana girls were okay with Kaneki being borrowed after school.
Kaneki: No! I don't wanna!
But Kaneki in the other hand wasn't too fond of the idea.
Kotori: Kaneki-chan if you hang out with the boys after school I'll not only make you the pudding a la mode deluxe Kotori edition I'll make an extra as well.
But being bribed by Kotori made him think about it.
Swoosh!
Itsuki: Woah!
Kaneki walked in front of Itsuki before bowing.
Kaneki: Please take good care of me later.
And accepting his invitation.
Kotori: Hehe~ Good boy!
Shino: Don't cause any trouble for Itsuki's group later, Okay?
Miku: And most importantly have fun!
Yuuka: Yeah you might even enjoy being around your fellow boys.
Even after hearing words of encouragement from his friends and family.
Kaneki: Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
Kaneki was still very much not onboard with the idea.
Many hours later~
It was now after school.
Sachi: See you later Kaneki.
Shino: You better behave yourself, got it?
Yuuka: Don't pick fights okay?
Chikao: Try not to be offended easily okay?
Natsuki & Miku: And most importantly! Have fun!
The Higanbana girls were telling Kaneki some advice before he separates from them and join's Itsuki's group to hang out.
Kaneki: I am unsure about this, I really REALLY do not want to go.
Sachi: C'mon Kaneki, just because you had a few bad encounters with boys doesn't mean every boy is the same.
Natsuki: Besides you do get along with other boys like that Drako-san and Swartz-san.
Kaneki: Those two are different and besides- sigh~ Whatever... I'll be going now.
Kaneki then left the Higanbana girls to meet up with Itsuki's group, all while still being in a very bad mood.
Chikao: Was this actually a good idea?
Yuuka: Probably not. But it would be good if he starts getting along with other boys.
Sachi: Agreed. As much as I love having Kaneki with us all the time, he does have bad memories of boys. So having him gang out with other boys will definitely help him out.
Natsuki: And best part he'll make new friends.
All 5: Yeah!
The Higanbana girls were very optimistic about Kaneki's outting with other boys.
Natsuki: Anyways there's this ramen shop I discovered near school, you girls wanna go eat there?
All 5: Let's go!
They then left to go eat at a ramen shop.
Meanwhile~
Keita: Hey Itsuki are you really sure about this?
Yuta: Yeah even though we did hang out with him last time it didn't seem he enjoyed it as much.
Itsuki's group were at the park waiting for Kaneki to join them, but knowing that it was Kaneki, they were unsure if it was a good idea to let him join.
Itsuki: Don't worry that was the old Kaneki, the Kaneki now will probably try to enjoy it.
???: What even made you invite him in the first place?
Itsuki: Didn't I already told you guys? He's the reason why me and Keiko even became a couple, plus he's my hero remember?
???: Suuure~
Itsuki: And besides this... Wasn't actually my idea.
All 7: Say what now?
Itsuki: Yeah it was Kotori Ai-san's idea, well actually request.
???: Seriously? What did she tell you?
Itsuki: Well basically...
Flashback*
Sparkle~!
Keiko: Hehe~ Tonight was fun, Itsuki.
Itsuki: Yeah it really was.
After the festival had concluded, me and Keiko were playing with some sparklers at a kids playground at the park.
We were enjoying our time alone when we were approached by Kotori Ai-san.
Swoosh!
Kotori: Hello~
Itsuki & Keiko: Huh? Kotori-san/Kotori Ai-san?
Kotori: Yes it is me.
Keiko: What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be going home by now?
Kotori: I am but I have a request, specifically to you Itsuki-san.
Itsuki: Me?
Kotori: Correct. I want you and your male friends to hang out with Kaneki-chan tomorrow after school.
Keiko: Why request that?
Kotori: Well you know him, he always hangs around girls but really dislikes boys due to some past encounters. So I want him to make new friends that are of the same sex as him.
Keiko: Ohh~ yeah that makes sense, you should definitely do it Itsuki.
Itsuki: Alright then! I accept. Oh is tomorrow a good time?
Kotori: Yup. Please take good care of him okay?
Flashback end*
Itsuki: So that's what happened.
???: Seriously and you accepted it so quickly?
Itsuki: Couldn't help it it's for my hero after all.
???: But can we even get along with him?
Itsuki: Hehe~ I already have a plan in mind so just trust me!
Itsuki placed his arms on his hips as he looked at the sky with confidence.
Keita: Well let's hope it ends well.
???: Oh speaking of which here he comes.
Itsuki and his group looked towards the park entrance and saw Kaneki heading straight to them.
And...
Kaneki: Grrrr....
Kaneki was not in a good mood at all.
???: Eek! He's already scary.
Itsuki: Don't worry I'll deal with him. Oi! Kaneki! Over here!
Kaneki: Yo sorry I'm late.
Itsuki: Eh? Kaneki?
Kaneki: I aaaaam so nervousssss~
All 8: Wait what?
Itsuki: Your nervous?
Kaneki: Why wouldn't I? Aside from the karaoke box this is the first time I've been invited to hang out with my fellow boys.
???: Seriously? This is not what I expected.
???: Yeah I thought you hated guys.
Kaneki: Oh I still do. But since I was given orders to get along you guys, I'll try I guess.
???: Yikes this would be difficult.
Itsuki: Okay since everyone is here, why don't we hit the Manga store then.
Kaneki: Manga? Oh yeah that's right you read manga.
Yuta: Actually all of us do, it's pretty much a good hobbie.
Kaneki: I see. I did read a few of Itsuki's manga though which are uhhh....
Kaneki looked back to when he first read Itsuki's manga collection when he first gained his new powers as Demon Knight Omega Kaiser.
And he felt rather uncomfortable.
Kaneki: It's honestly weird.
Itsuki: Please Kaneki do NOT remind us of that.
???: Yeah let's not show him those type of Manga's he's not ready for them yet.
???: Yeah agreed.
Itsuki: Let's go then!
They all then went to a nearby Manga store to check out some books.
