The way life goes.
Life can be so strange, one never really knows where life is going to lead them, or what turn it's going to make, or what road it's going to travel down, or what path it's going to follow. But it's really up to us to choose, if it is in our power to do so.
It had been 12 years since they met, and ever since then their relationship keeps going deeper, the love they hold for each other goes deeper than any river, stronger than any root.
Nezumi was now a well-known Broadway actor, he had appeared in some movies to. Shion was a doctor, like he has always dreamed about, and annoyingly talked about constantly.
Shion's mother and stepfather is now the proud owners of Karen's Bakery. Shion had finally made his second dream reality and bought his mother her own Bakery, with some help from Nezumi.
Safu had moved away to Paris to open up her own clothing line, and last they heard she was doing very well.
Inukashi was as irritating as ever, she now owned the club, for her father had sadly passed away a year ago. But she seemed to be all right with it, and had accepted being the owner happily.
Nezumi and Shion has been quite happy in their life. Neither one of them thought that this would ever happen in reality. But it has.
Nezumi and Shion was lying in bed talking about their day like usual. But Nezumi's mind was a million miles away however.
He was lost in his thoughts about so many years ago, how they met, and how they got here in the first place.
It was something that he thought of often, though he would never admit it.
He could still remember it like it was yesterday. The way Shion stubbornly crawled into his life, dud his heels into the ground and refuse to leave, the way he managed to break down his walls, the way he changed his life for just loving him for him.
At times it doesn't even seem real, like it was nothing more but a beautiful dream, then he turns and looks at Shion, and he's reminded that this is reality, and for once he's glad it wasn't just a dream. For once he's glad this happened to him, that he finally accepted love, and Shion into his life.
Even though he didn't really have a choice in the matter, Shion was just too stubborn, but he loved that stubbornness, and wouldn't have him any other way.
"Nezumi?" Shion's voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked at his husband beside him in bed, who was giving him a questioning look.
"I'm sorry your highness, I was just thinking"
"About what?"
Instead of answering him he leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss against his husband's lips. He pulled back after a moment. Shion snuggled in his arm's.
"Just thinking"
Shion was curious but he seemed to decide to leave it at that. Nezumi knew better however, he'll bring it up again eventually
"So how was your day?" Asked Shion.
"Not bad" he smiled "better now that your in my arms"
Shion turn completely red, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"You know what we should do?" He asked.
"No"
Nezumi leaned in kissing Shion passionately, his right hand resting on his face, the other on his hip. Shion pulled him closer, and deepened the kiss by wrapping his arms around Nezumi's switched positions on the bed, Nezumi was on top of Shion. He pulled back from the kiss, looking down at Shion, and smiled when he saw the faint blush on his cheeks.
"Well" Shion breathed. "I don't see why not"
"You're wish is my command your majesty"
Just then Shio and Nezu, Nezumi and Shion's son and daughter came running in, with Luna the dog close behind. Nezumi and Shion had switch positions quickly as the trio came running in. Girl and boy With dog all pounced on the bed.
"Look look" the girl exclaimed excitedly, holding out her hand palm up revealing a tooth. "I lost my tooth" she said proudly.
"Oh wow! Nezumi look at that" exclaimed Shion. "Shio lost her tooth"
"I see that" he said tasseling the girls hair. A heavy sigh and roll of her eyes at him was all he got as a response. He snickered.
She was really too much like him, attitude and all, and a mouth that neither one of them could control, and they have tried, and failed, they had given up, well he has anyway, Shion was the different story.
Shio's attitude is much worse then Nezumi's in his opinion. Totally opposite from her older brother, who was a lot like Shion, Shio was more outgoing, and would often speak her mind and damn the consequences. The brother and sister was like night and day, opposites in every way. But Nezu was more outgoing with his sister than most, and would often enjoy riling her up and pissing her off, much to the disgust of both of his parents.
"Now I can put it underneath my pillow and the Tooth Fairy will come" Shio grinned evilly. "Then I'll catch her for sure this time"
"That's stupid" Said Nezu.
The girl shot her older brother a dirty glare. Nezumi saw the confrontation before it even came. It won't be the first time that the 8-year old had punched the 10-year old.
"Now now" said Shion, clearly having the same thought. "No need for that"
"You're right Daddy, it doesn't matter what my stupid Jackass dumbass brother thanks"
'This girl is going to be the death of me' Nezumi thought with a heavy sigh.
"Shio, what did we tell you about swearing?" scolded Shion.
"You told me not to do it"
"And what do you keep doing?"
"I keep doing it?"
"Why?"
"Because it's fucking fun?"
"Shio!"
"Sorry"
"For what?"
"For saying fuck?"
"Shio!"
Nezumi leaned back against the headboard. This could go on a while.
But he couldn't help but smile at his beautiful family. Sometimes he can't believe this is real, not only that he's married but he has two children as well, it was hard to believe at times, but he wouldn't trade it for anything, or change anything.
When he and Shion had decided that they wanted to have children Safu was gracious enough to be their surrogate for both children. Nezu and Shio knew about it of course, they told them when they were old enough to understand.
Shio's full name is Shion but they call her Shio for short. It was Nezumi's idea to name their daughter after his husband, and it was Shion's idea to name their son after him.
"Fairy's aren't real!" Stated Nezu matter-of-factly.
"How would you know!?" Demanded Shio "Have you ever seen one?"
"Have you?"
Shio opened her mouth to reply then closed it. Nezumi could practically see the wheels running in the child's head, and knew she was preparing a comeback, that would most likely end up pissing Nezu right the fuck off, then a Fallout fight would begin.
Deciding before that happened, he asked both children why they were up so late even though it's a school night?
"Oh!" exclaimed Shio "I have something to show you" the girl ran out of the room and after 5 minutes returned with the weird cage looking thing in her hand.
"I made it! So i can finally catch the tooth fairy"
"And i came in to watch my sister make a total fool of herself" Stated Nezu.
Shio glared at her brother, clearly wishing she could curse at him or possibly something else.
"Oh I see" said Shion, looking interested in the child's creation.
"How about we go set this up and you both right to bed." said Shion getting out of bed and trying to lead the siblings out of the room into their own.
"Okay" said Shio excitedly "goodnight Papa" she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"And as the same to you my princess" he kissed her on the forehead. She giggled.
"Goodnight Dad" said the boy
"And to you my Prince" with that the children and his Husband disappeared around the corner with Luna close behind.
Nezumi started to read his new book that he recently purchased, knowing that getting the children to settle down is going to take a little while. He laughed at the thought of Shion actually getting their son and daughter asleep on time, which never happens. But it was always nice to have dreams he supposes.
Shion returned after 15 minutes, or could have been longer, he wasn't keeping an eye on the time this go around.
Shion crawled in bed next to him, Nezumi closed his book and set it on the nightstand, switched Off the lamp, and snuggled in with Shion.
As he drifted off to sleep his thoughts was filled with Shion and their children. Life is strange, no one really knows where life is going to lead, that's just how life goes.
But he wouldn't change anything, for this is where he belonged all along.
The end.
With love to all.
