Toukas the only filling Kaneki with love now he doesnt need Hide anymore

....you do know that the majority of all people are capable of having a Best Friend and a Romantic Partner at the same time, right? There's no reason to be so melodramatic, and behave as though Kaneki would throw Hide away now that he's gotten laid.

Ideally, both are part of a person's healthy circle of relationships. When they get along, as is the case of Touka and Hide, it's even better. Because please remember that in canon, Hide recognizes and supports Touken. He was the first person to point Touka out to Kaneki as an attractive girl, and spent time hanging with them both at Anteiku. He got to observe them interacting, and from these interactions Hide saw someone that Kaneki cared about.

Remember, Hide has always been very protective of Kaneki and his privacy/secrets. But Hide felt Touka was someone that he could trust enough to talk openly about Kaneki's past. He shared several very personal things with her, which isn't something he would have done if he didn't approve of Touka.

I think if Hide makes his grand return, he will probably resume being the supportive friend. He's always been cheering Kaneki on in seeking love, and never acted jealous or possessive. If anything, he'd probably be utterly insufferable in teasing Kaneki and faux-whining about how Kaneki got a girlfriend before him while ~alas he is still alone~ (dramatic sigh)
