Walking over to your office desk, you uttered a small sigh before dumping the files you had been carrying into a box with the label "closed cases" on it. Your last investigation hadn't been necessarily a difficult one, but the report you'd had to write took you forever to finish – and everyone knows that writing reports is a real pain in the arse. Just as you were about to turn around, ready to grab your bag and go home, your gaze fell upon the framed picture at the corner of your desk. A sad smile spread out on your face as you took the photo in your hands, regarding it intently.
The picture showed a brightly grinning 14 years old version of yourself, standing beside Amon, who had himself a wide smile on his face while ruffling up your hair with one of his big hands.
You remembered the day you had taken the picture clearly...


"Mr. Amon! Mr. Amon!"
You ran excitedly up to the black-haired ghoul investigator, holding up a camera in one of your hands and waving it hastily around.

Said male stopped walking as soon as he heard you calling out to him and turned around, a warm smile on his face.
"Hello, (f/n). What are you up to?"

Coming to a stop in front of your teacher, you hold the device proudly up and started to explain your plans with a cheerful voice.
"Look! I've just got a camera! Isn't that awesome? Let's take a picture together, okay? I want to take my first picture with you, Mr. Amon!"

The young investigator let out a few chuckles upon seeing your eagerness and gave you a quick nod in response.
"Sure, let's do it. Shall I snap it?"

"Yes, please!"
Giggling happily, you positioned yourself next to Amon before handing him over the camera.

Amon turned the device around so that its lens was pointing at your direction before stretching out his arm and putting his free hand on top of your head, ruffling up your hair with a bright smile on his face.
"Say cheese!"

"Cheeeese!"

*snap*

"Alright. Here you go, (f/n)."
After taking the picture, Amon handed you your camera back.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Amon!"
Grabbing it with both your hands, you clutched your precious camera tightly against your chest before breaking out into a beaming grin.
"Once I grow up, I will be a great investigator, just like you and then I can become your partner!"

Laughing heartily, the black-haired ghoul investigator gave you a few firm pats on your back before flashing you yet another warm smile.
"Well, I'm sure you can do it, just give your best, okay? I look forward to working with you in the future, partner."



You let out a dry chuckle, thinking about everything that had happened over the past years.
You had worked hard, very hard and after successfully graduating from the Ghoul Investigator Training Academy, you had finally started to work at the CCG, even though you hadn't been paired up with Amon, after all. However, the dark-haired male still continued to guide and help you as some kind of mentor...that was until he had died last year during the battle in the 20th ward.
This day a part of your heart had died. You had always considered Amon as some kind of big brother seeing as he was the one who had saved you from ending up as ghoul food. He had always been caring, had listened to you whenever you had any problems and helped you with anything he could – Amon was just an out and out kind-hearted person.
A single tear ran over your cheek as further memories of your time together with the ghoul investigator flashed through your mind, but you quickly wiped it away with your thumb and took a deep breath, regaining your composure.
Just then, you heard the very familiar voice of one of your coworkers coming from behind you.

"Oh, (f/n)-chan! I didn't know you were still here!"

Juuzou's cheerful voice jolted you out of your thoughts and you swiftly put the framed picture back on your desk before turning around to face the raven-haired investigator, flashing him a small smile.
"Hey, Juuzou. I was actually just about to head home, so -"

"You're still mourning for Mr. Amon?"

Juuzou cut you off mid-sentence with his sudden question and caused you to blink a few times in surprise.
"Huh?"

"You were looking at your picture with Mr. Amon again, weren't you? You're always super down after doing that."
The raven-haired male barely breathed a sigh before repeating his question once again, his eyebrows knitted together ever so slightly.
"So, you're still mourning for him, huh?"

You lowered you head, averting Juuzou's gaze by looking down at the floor as you answered him in a quiet voice, merely whispering.
"...I know I shouldn't let it get me down, but it's still hard to accept it...theh, and yet I'm supposed to be a ghoul investigator...I'm pathetic, aren't I? I should finally pull myself together and move on..."

You knew that Juuzou hadn't had it easy, either. He had lost one of his legs during the battle against the One-Eyed Owl, after all and as if that wasn't already enough, his partner and father figure Shinohara had been in a vegetative state ever since that mission, without showing any signs of an improving condition. He clearly wasn't better of than you.
Yet the raven-haired male never seemed to let himself down. He gave his best and worked very hard to become an even better investigator. With success.
You just wished that you had at least one-tenth of Juuzou's strength to pull yourself up and start looking ahead again.
Just as you were thinking that to yourself, you felt something soft and warm being pressed against your forehead and lifted your head, only to see that Juuzou drew himself away from you, a bright smile on his face.

"...what?"
You widened you eyes in confusion as you stared in utter disbelief at the young investigator. Did he...did Juuzou just gave you a kiss on your forehead?

" 'Cheer up!' - that's what Mr. Amon used to say after giving you a kiss on your forehead, right? He did that whenever you were upset and you would always stop being sad afterwards."

"You...you remember that?"
You blinked once again in surprise, hearing Juuzou's word. Yes, you had been classmates with him at the Academy, but you hadn't been exactly close as teenagers. Back then Juuzou had preferred keeping to himself and so you hadn't really got to spend much time and become friends with him until you had started to work at the CCG. It really took you by surprise that the stitched investigator remembered something trivial like that from ages ago.

"Mhh?"
The ruby-eyed male tilted his head to the side and pushed his bottom lip slightly forward, seemingly confused that you were surprised about what he had said.
"Of course I recall it. We were classmates, after all...or is it a bad thing that I remember?"

You quickly shook your head as a small smile started to form on your face and before you knew it, you had thrown yourself into Juuzou's arms, embracing him tightly.
"Thank you, Juuzou."

"Huh?"
Juuzou was totally taken aback by your sudden hug, but had no time to react seeing as you had already let go of him. However, the very next second you grabbed the raven-haired investigator's hand and gave it a light squeeze while flashing the male in front of you a warm smile.
"So, seeing as we both finished work...how about dinner? I'll pay! And afterwards, we could grab some doughnuts, if you want to."

"Dinner and doughnuts?!"
Juuzou's face instantly brightened up upon hearing those words coming from your mouth and squeezed your hand firmly back before giving you himself a tight hug.
"Yeay! You're the best, (f/n)-chan!"
And with that said, the male started to dash off out of the office, tugging you along while continuing to hold onto your hand as some happy laughter left his lips.
You couldn't but join in and began to giggle alongside the ruby-eyed man as you rushed out of your workplace, heading to a near restaurant.


It was strange how quickly Juuzou had managed to cheer you up without even saying that much.
But you didn't want to overthink it.
You were just happy to have found your special someone who was able to let you forget all your problems and worries.~
Dedictated to :iconlibraotaku: as some sort of apology for not replying to your message for what seems likes ages. I'm so sorry! ;___;
I hope you like it! :x
It totally didn't turn out the way I wanted it to (I actually intended to make it way fluffier D: ) but I still like the result! °^°
C'mon, Amon! Come back and marry Akira already! >__> (...as if that were the most serious problem xD)
Anyway, enjoy the story!~ Llama Emoji-67 (Yes food) [V3]


*I apologise for any mistakes :/
