Hide didn't make a deal with anyone.

Hide is the OEK so he knew about Arima and steps he would take. Hide basically did something to Kaneki in 136 that made Kaneki regain strength for a short while and demonstrate to Arima that he's worth keeping alive. CCG sees worth in Kaneki and uses him; however there's something going on between Kaneki and Arima - Arima's likely Kaneki's relative.

I honestly don't understand why everyone likes Hide. He's not a good character and his shining looks are just a mask he skillfully wears. The real Hide was in chapter 'Bitter Taste' where he was drinking coffee with dead fish eyes. He's lonely and didn't have anyone else apart from Kaneki.

You can't convince me otherwise; this is a perfect plot.
