The boy is mine Chapter 10: Just the Way You Are, a degrassi fanfic

I'm baaaaack!

Disclaimer: I fast asleep last night when all of the sudden, I received an urgent phone call from the creator of Degrassi: "You were right all along! All the boys should be together! but , I sadly, cannot find the right technique to create their lives in such a way. And So I give them to you! (You can also have the girls if you like)" And that is how I became the royal Duke of Sparko fanfiction. …..

Stop laughing, I'm serious! …… Ok, I'm not.-

Warnings: This fic resides in the wonderful Suburb of Slash fanfiction, at the corner of Love triangle St. and Degrassi Blvd. Read at your own risk.

Hello all! I'm so glad you're here for the last chapter of 'Boy'! A day a long way in the making.

Spin- I'll say! I thought we'd never get here.

Yeah, sorry about that. What with starting college, and having to re-take English (all the stuff was boring, and I could barely stay awake. But that's another story XP) So, I've been busy, and I'm really sorry that I haven't started the story, but it was a good thing I hadn't, or else it would have been lost forever when the computer crashed. I wanted to do this story right, and a rushed ending wouldn't do the series justice. I also had to work on the lemon, and where I wanted this to go. After a while, things with school kind of got out of hand, and, well, you've been checking the main page, right? Anyway, I got a god start on it during the November 4th LJ crash of '06 but had to spend the thanks giving holiday with relatives. And since I'm not going to have a lot of computer time coming up, I decided to do this for your guys before them. So, forgive me?

Marco- Oh, of course silly. –hug-

Spin- yeah yeah yeah, I'm sure that they'll forgive you when they get the lemon, right?

-massive crowd cheer-

Ok, ok; that should be posted soon enough. I tried writing a 'lemon' for my Veronica Mars Casablancest fic 'Get Along with you', so I think I have the hang of it. Confirmed side stories are Spin and Marco's first night, The full scene of when Jimmy and Craig were caught in the act and an alternate kisser in 'Didn't mean to turn you on' Anyway, now let's answer some reviews:

TruFate: Aww, thank you! And North Carolina; Is it nice there?

Alca: I am not a procrastinator…..

Spin: Sure, and I'm always just a little horny.

Marco: . ;

BlackOwl892006: oh, stop it. And see, I posted!

Enigmus: thanks for the lub; yeah, I have most of the side-stories planned, but I'll address that a bit further down.

Meretricus: Aww, I'm sorry Utah sucks.

Kyle: Aww thank you. Here's the next one.

Jess: (new reader? Yay!) thank for the praise –hands you a dictionary-

China: Yes, Kendra was there; She was organizing the catering, and didn't have much time to spare, but she did say hello.

crashetburn: Really? XDDDD I've REALLY got to see the newer seasons.

Judgemaster Alexander: Well, I don't think it was so much a wedding fic, as much as a wedding chapter; that just sort of happened.

Riksor (2nd New reader!): of course you're not the only one who loves Sparco!; I'm having a hard time remembering Chester; Is he a new character?

LuvsAdamo17: why, thank you –hands you a dictionary-

Hiroshi-kun: The reason I didn't add a lemon is because with new rating system, I would either get kicked off or have my story deleted. The lemons for this series will be posted at my LJ account : homogenius

DarkSora31: Sorry for the wait!

visigirl305: Thank you!

Candy: It's about the build up! The 'Major slash' moments will be at the homogeinus account on LJ, so be on the lookout!

knightsprincess24: thanks! And yeah... XP

All right now to address this story in my newly titled:

Author notes' corner:

I had a hard time deciding whether or not to make it their 10th wedding anniversary, or their 15th anniversary. I decided to make it their 15th anniversary, and here's why; They were together five years before making it official, and since that would have made their 15th wedding anniversary their 20th year together, I figured that it would be more romantic, ne? After much debate, I decided to use 'Just the way you are' by Billy Joel as the lyrics to the epilogue ('the real thing' by Gwen Stefani, which she sings so beautifully, and when I post this homogenius, I may include a MP3s of both songs). Also, I gave Spinner a sister, named Sabrina, just for plot purposes. She's only mentioned once, so don't feel bad if you don't catch her mention.

So I guess, without further ado, I give you the 'The boy is mine' Epilouge

Epilogue

(Just the Way you are)

(Marco's POV;

and maybe a little of Spinner's)

Don't go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before

Don't imagine you're too familiar

And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far

I took the good times, I'll take the bad times

I'll take you just the way you are

"Come on, Come on! Pick up dammit!"

It was around 7:00 at night on our anniversary and Gavin still hadn't checked in. I wasn't worried until around a half an hour ago. He said that He'd check in at six and that we'd have dinner at 8:00. While he often did that, I was a little concerned because we had been fighting a lot lately. It had been less that a year since he started his own small law firm, and to say that it was tense at home was an understatement

"Ba….by…." I was walking around our condo trying to find him. He had been very stressed lately, and with all of the late nights he had put in, I noticed that it had been nearly a month since we'd had sex. Yeah, I know, married life, but still. I missed him, and I figured that this would be the perfect way to release some stress. So there I was, wearing nothing but a bathrobe, wandering around the house. I finally gave up on trying to tiptoe cutely and found him a little bit later in our guest room. Uh-oh.

When we moved out of the condo and into the two story house, Gavin and I had a little trouble deciding on what to do with the extra four rooms we had. The first two were easy. One room would be for entertaining and two of the other three would be for each of our offices. And then, we had a room left. I had wanted to keep it as a guest room, but he was hellbent on it being turned into a kid's room:

"Just think about it! I thought you wanted kids!" He would bellow when the issue would come up. Now, don't get me wrong, I love kids. But after dealing with them at work all day, it's nice to come home to an empty house. Plus, we always had Sabrina's kids to babysit when we wanted. Ever since the last time he brought it up a few months (three, three months!) ago, he's always been to busy for everything. Even sex.

"Spinner, too busy for sex? Ha! I doubt that." Ellie blurted out.

It was yesterday afternoon, when I finally went to Ellie. She, along with Jimmy and Craig had come over. It was a teacher duty day, and since I had already done that stuff, it was just a day off for me. After I ordered a pizza, we started talking about our personal lives and well, everything just slipped out.

"Well, it's either that or…he's cheating on me"

"Ok. Now that's bullshit. Why would Spin cheat?" Ellie Blurted out. In truth, Spin has never given any indication that he didn't wan't me anymore, but still...

"Well, I dunno; but something's going on. And, well, I guess I could understand why he'd want to cheat. I mean, I'm not the man he married." Which was also true; gone was the tight assed, long haired boy he married, and here I was in his place. I hadn't gotten any fatter, but my hair was starting to gray quite a bit.(I still had black, but it was creeping into 'salt and pepper territory'), not to mention I had less definition than before.

"Even before the fight, we hadn't been really as in sync as we used to. I think it started a week or two after his 48th birthday. He hasn't wanted a lot of affection at all since then, and has buried himself in his work. Dammit! What's wrong with me!?!"

"Nothin', man. More than likely it's Spin's issue." Jimmy chimed in, all the while slowly running his right arm up and down Craig's torso. It had to be illegal for them to still look as good as they did after all this time: aside from some mild graying of their hair, jimmy's mustache and some laugh lines, they both still looked pretty much the same. The only real difference is that now you'd find them engaging in some major PDA more often. Likewise, Ellie had hardly aged, opting to cut her now light red hair to mid shoulder length. Looking at it actually, we all had aged really well.

"Yeah, maybe you're right, but it still worries me; what does he think is so bad he feels that he couldn't tell me?"

"Sharon, hold my calls and cancel my appointments for the afternoon..." It was just after lunch, and I had planned to spend the rest of the day in isolation. With all the chaos involved in this case, involving at the moment a divorce settlement where the two husbands were arguing over which 'toys' belonged to who, all I wanted was some quiet time before heading home. And then I saw it: the look of fear on Sharon's face. Now, being that she had only started last week, I was used to her 'confused' look, but this was one that looked afraid.

"But umm...there's already someone in you office. She stormed passed me! I..." it was then her speak became incoherent but I did catch 'red head' and stopped her "I know, I know. She was who I was waiting on. Just relax and...take the afternoon off, ok?"

"I'm not...fired?

"No, Sharon you're not fired. Just go home for the day." She breathed a sigh of relief and I left before seeing her depart. Crap: if there was indeed a red head waiting for me in my office, then it only meant one person: Ellie. And if she was coming to see me personally, something definitely was wrong. She heard me enter the room and turned to face me, her face showing a melancholy expression. Yeah, something was definitely wrong. I had barely sat down, before she started it on me.

"Is there something you need to tell me? Or more importantly, Marco?" By now her arms were crossed and it was as if she were channeling her 16 year old self.

"Uh...I don't think so. Why do you ask"

"So, that Sharon, she's cute. What happened to your other assistant, Mrs. Patterson?" By now, a twinge of sarcasm had seeped into her voice and her eyes began to narrow. Is it bad that I began to fear someone I out weighed by at least 70 pounds?

"Well, she just retired a month ago, not that it's any of your business really. Why are you here Ellie?" She bit her lip and sighed audibly

"I'll just come out and say it: tell me who he is? She?"

"Wha...Ellie? what are you talking about"

"Or is it Gambling? Drinking? Come on! Out with it!" By then she was on her feet and practically yelling in my eardrums.

"What's the meaning of this? Out with what?"

"I'm not stupid you know. Neither is Marco. He sees you turning away from him. Why aren't you with him today? Isn't it you 20th anniversary today? He's been telling me that you haven't...you know, in months. And I figured that there's only one reason for that. And it's ridiculus because he still looks..."

"Whoa, whoa whoa! I'm not sure what been said, but I've been faithful to Marco from the very beginning" While I had no idea why he though it, at least I knew why Ellie was here. She had always kind of been his big sister. But I had to double check: had it really been months? Things had gotten really busy over the past year, and with all the vicious cases and long hours, we haven't had time to really.

"I'm not so sure. He's upset that you apparently haven't even been kissing and holding him? Now, I know you, and a man with your libido isn't going to go long without, so what gives? It's definitely something." Her anger had subsided, but her glare hadn't. Had I really been that inattentive?

"It's not that. I haven't cheated on him and if I'm lying feel free to take away my law license!" Wit that the anger was replaced with confused frustration.

"Well then, what is it!?!"

I stared at her for a moment before divulging the secret. She just looked at me and sighed afterward. "Man: you two deserve each other. I heard you clear your schedule, so go home now and fix this mess"

I just nodded and I saw her leave, I shut down the place and left soon after.

I said I love you and that's forever

I could not love you any better

I love you just the way you are

"Hey Gavin! You're home early"

Just like Ellie suggested, well told me to do, I rushed home to fix this 'mess I had created', bur suggested makes it seem less emasculating. I kissed his cheek before rushing to the back. He voice wavered a bit, but he continued talking.

"Well, how was your day? You've been working a lot later at night lately, so wha...Gavin?" By then I had stripped and was turning off the burner on the stove. His fearful glance aside, I picked him up and put him over my sholder, which earned me some light kicks to my sides and laughing from both of us.

"And just what exactly do you think you're doing?" By now, he was completely amused and had resigned to let me take control as we started heading towards the bedroom.

"Well, we've both been busy lately, quite busy, so I figured that it was about time we got ourselves caught up." I replied, kissing the bottom of his spine and kicking the bedroom door open, my hands occupied with holding him and pulling off his clothes.

"But what about dinner?" He half heartedly asked, "We might not make it out" By then his arms were tracing small circles on my thighs and a content sigh could be heard in his voice.

"Screw dinner; We can go out sometime next week, because we're definitely not getting out this weekend if I have anything to do with it" I slapped his ass for good measure. He slipped himself from being over my soldier to just being held in my arms before kissing me against the bedroom door. I pulled away, smirking at him, before shutting the door and straddling him on our bed "In the meantime, let's get to 'talking'"

The sex scene will go here; oh, note: early in the said scene, the POV switches back to Marco

We were both so tired from 'talking' that we feel asleep soon after. Well, I had at least fallen asleep. It wasn't long after though, that I caught him staring at me and softly stroking my arm. His eyes were dreamy and his strokes were soft and tender.

"Baby..." I started in a bit of a whisper. Well, make that with a sore throat, since...yeah.

"Hmm?..." He looked so happy, more so than he had in a while, but I had to ask him now, If I ever was going to ask.

"What's been going on with you these past few months. I mean, did I do something? Was it someone else? Or...what?"

The look left him, and I got worried for a second but he really just sighed and turned on the light next to his side of our bed. I winced and let out a small squeak before looking up at him and noticing his misty eyes. Oh crap! It was something. No, no! It wasn't anything. Hopefully.

"I'm so sorry" That, combined with the pre-sobbing voice it was delivered in, did not allay my fears. My mind didn't get to worry too much more, as he began again, a little bit more composed.

"You never did anything, really. I just...thought you didn't want this anymore. I mean, the pool boy's flirting with you all the time, and we never talk anymore" Oscar, our pool boy, was a 20 year old college student here on some sort of student exchange program.

Ok, sure, he was cute enough but completely straight and really too immature I think. We did talk a lot, but that was because I was helping him get as TA intership at the local community college so he could get some experience and spend some time with his girlfriend, all of which he knew. No, it was something else entirely. Still, I indulged him a bit more:

"What would ever make you think that?" He looked worried again, which bothered me. "You know that there's no one else. There never could be."

"Oh, come on Marco, look at me! I'm not the man you married. Do I even resemble that man anymore?" Over the 15 years we've been married, he looked like he used too until around 7 years ago, when he started to get a lot hairier except his head, which had a few months ago, started to thin a bit. Add to that the fact that he was at least 30 pounds heavier I don't know the Canadian equivalent X3 and his body hair was nearing gray territory, then I guess I could understand a bit why he'd think that, but it never was an issue to me.

"Neither do I, Gav! And I love you just the way you are." I even nuzzled his chest for good measure. "Sure, you're different but you're nowhere near Marvin Tikvah status. And even if you were, I wouldn't care. I married you, not your body."

"Is that so?" He didn't continue to talk much longer before kissing my forehead and continuing. "You're right though. You don't look like the boy I married; you're so much sexier."

"Sure I am" I laughed at myself which made him frown and straddle me again

"You really are, baby." he had a worried express combined with his semi-angry 'why don't you get it?' eyes. "I only come to love you more with age. I don't understand how you can stand me when there are many more guys who are worthy of your...sexiness. I'm just a beast."

"Hey!" When did this become my Gavin? What had I done to the overly-cocky who had no problem with constant P.D.A.? This has to be fixed immediately "You may be a beast, but you're my beast. I love you, only you, and don't you dare forget it!" I tried to frown, but I just smiled up at his and gave his lips a peck. Ah: there's the man I married. His trademark smirk was back and he slid off of me before pulling the two of us under the covers.

It wasn't long before we were under the covers with out hands all over each other. We would usually both be tired by now but tonight, it was completely different. And true to his word, with the exception of bathroom, shower and eating breaks, we didn't leave that room all weekend. And while years ago I might have complained about it, I couldn't find it in me to be upset about all the renewed interest in our active sex life.

It was our anniversary, after all.

CP: And with that, we've reached the end of the main story. So, what did you guys think?

Marco: umm...wow. just...wow.

Spinner: -death squeeze- I LOVE this man

Marco: Spin, he had to breath, or else he can never post the uncensored version on his fiction LJ, homogenius.

Spinner: -Stops- Right, Right. So, will we have to wait a year for that as well?

CP: Well, maybe until sometime in January, due to my unstellar grades. I might not even be let near the computer.

Spinner: Wow, That bad?

CP: Yeah; long, long story. So expect the first side story, a cute drabble about these two and the sex scene from chapter 7! Next would be the Jimmy/Craig sex scene from when they were discovered and I plan on doing another mystery one. Is that good for everybody?

Spinner: Well, it's certainly good enough for me!

CP: Anyway, please R & R. Why?

Spinner: because, do you really want to wait another year for the next part of this Saga? I sure as hell don't O.o

CP: --
