Sasaki x Reader: Stop it

    Kaneki Ken, his sudden disappearance made you realize that love was a beautiful lie and life wasn't always as good as they make it seem to be. He took a part of your heart with him and you were afraid that it would never be whole again. It had been years since he disappeared and all hope of ever finding him again was shattered into a million pieces. Your day had started normally, as normal as it could always be. You washed the cups, cleaned the tables, carried the sacks of coffee beans into the cafe(with difficulty if I may add), and brewed yourself and your co-workers a cup of coffee for good luck. But the skies quickly turned gray when he stepped through the door. Never knowing that the moment the bell made a sound, the gears of time that had long stopped started turning once again. 

    "Sassan, you're sure the coffee here tastes great? You've never even been here before." The man on his left with bright orange hair and pointy teeth spoke with uncertainty, eyeing the place as though it might swallow him whole.

    "Trust me, my nose kagune tells me so." He chuckles, pointing at his nose before heading to the counter where you stood behind with wide teary eyes. Now bent across the counter, you stared at the customer standing in front of you, who stared back with a quizzical expression. You couldn't ever forget that scent. Feminine yet also masculine, you knew he had Rize to blame for smelling like a girl. "Excuse me, um...Miss? Can I take our order now?" The man called 'Sassan' asked, scratching his cheek awkwardly in embarrassment. Almost as if snapping out of a trance, you blinked away the tears and mustered the best smile that you could manage.

    "O-Of course, I apologize for the delay. What would you like to have?" You flipped through the pages of your notepad and looked through his other companions. You noticed how nervous his tanned friend looked, cowering behind 'Sassan's' back. A natural smile crept to your lips as you were reminded of how nervous Kaneki always was in the past. Before he was awaken to the horrible truth of his new life. After placing their order, he turned on his heel and started to leave. At that moment you felt something trigger within you, it was a strange feeling, something you've never felt in a long time. 

    Something you usually felt only when you were with him. 

    "Wait!" The man stopped in his tracks and turned around to face you once again. His voice cutting through the silence like a sharp knife, piercing whatever sanity you had left in you.

    "May I know your name?" Your voice shook and so did your hand. You weren't quite sure why you were feeling the way you did but there was a strange urge that compelled inside you. You had to know his name. It wasn't a matter of wanting to know but it was more of a need, something you can't ignore.

    "I don't particularly mind." He smiles, his eyes twinkling with mischief. 

    "Sasaki Haise, you can call me Sasaki. Now, you giving me your number would sound like a fair trade."
