Disclaimer: Nope, no owneth eyblade-bay!
Hey guys, it's me! I am back to give you an epilogue. Now, I know that the ending of the last chapter could have been better but this is the real ending.
Now, before we get to the epilogue, I need to clarify my request. As you should know, I have decided to make a series of fairy tales with various yaoi pairings. Now, I need a suggestion for which pairing and which fairy tale to use next. Don't worry if my next story isn't the fairy tale or pairing that you want. Just remind me in a review and I'll try to make that fairy tale next.
So far, the suggestions are:
-Beauty and the Beast
-Puss in Boots
-Cinderella
-Little Mermaid
Pairings:
-KaiXRay
So, if you have any other pairing suggestions or fairy tale suggestions or you would like to vote for one of these, feel free! I've wasted enough of your time so without further ado, on with the story!
When Nadia was defeated, Kai moved into Ray's castle, the two of them staying in the king and queen's room. Kai had given his old kingdom to his cousin and now he was King of Ray's kingdom at Ray's request.
Kai laughed and rolled on top of Ray. Ray was giggling as Kai continued to tickle him.
"Kai!" Ray squealed finally, he freed one of his arms from the dual-haired royal. "Rah!" He lunged upwards and knocked Kai off of him, the both of them falling off the bed and onto the carpet covered floor.
Soon, Kai and Ray's laughter died down and they sighed as they looked into each other's eyes. Kai reached up and stroked Ray's hair.
"Beautiful Ray." He whispered. "I love your hair," He kissed Ray's hair. "I love your eyes," He kissed Ray's eyes. "I love your cheeks, I love your hands, I love your neck…" Kai whispered as he kissed all over Ray. Finally he looked back into Ray's eyes. "I love your lips." He kissed Ray and sat up.
Ray stared at Kai. He could barely breathe. He loved Kai so much and when Kai said these things to him, he was in heaven. Ray leaned forward and buried his face in Kai's chest. "I love you Kai."
Kai hummed in agreement. After a few minutes of them just holding each other, Kai stood. He crossed the room to his wardrobe and opened one of the drawers, while watching Ray from his peripheral vision. His lovely kitten was watching him with amused curiosity.
Kai took something out of the drawer and walked over to Ray. "Ray, I love you… I never believed in true love before I met you, but then again, there were a lot of things I didn't believe in until I met you. Soul mates, love at first sight, destiny, affection and happiness.
"Ray, before I met you, I didn't have much of a purpose or meaning in life. I was just a being that existed in this world. Now, I don't just exist. I live.
"Now Ray, before I become a cheesy mush ball," Kai said fondly while staring deeper into Ray's eyes. "I must ask you a question… Will you marry me?"
Ray gasped. His heart was pounding and he felt light headed. He felt warmth spread through his body and a rush of emotion coursed through his veins and throughout him. He threw himself into Kai's arms, the happiness forming tears in his eyes.
"Yes! Yes I will marry you, Kai. Nothing would make me happier." Ray wiped the tears from his eyes and laughed happily.
Kai smiled and was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.
They both turned to the door and there stood Tala. Tala had taken a job in the castle as Kai's right hand man, the two of them having bonded immediately. "You asked him?" Tala asked with a smile.
Kai nodded. "He said yes." He said affectionately.
Ray smiled and nuzzled his love- now fiancé.
Ray stared at himself in the mirror. "Mirror, mirror on the wall…" He whispered. Then he smiled. "How is it possible to be this happy?"
"Oh my dear Queen, that didn't rhyme; but I think I'll let that slide this time." The reply came from behind him and Ray turned to see Michael standing there. He held out a bouquet of flowers.
"'Queen'?" Ray frowned.
"Sorry, Queen to be." Michael grinned cheekily. Then he stepped back and looked at the white wedding dress that Kai had somehow gotten Ray to wear. "You look beautiful." He said and hugged Ray. "It seems like just yesterday, you were a little boy sneaking into the kitchen at night to eat cookies."
"It was yesterday." Lee entered the room and gave Michael a brief kiss. "Ray, that dress is lovely on you." He said to Ray then turned to Michael. "And one day I'll see you in that dress."
Michael shook his head and walked to the door. "I'm going to go sit down. Don't take too long or you'll worry Kai." He said with a wink as he left the room.
Lee sighed happily after his blond love then he turned back to Ray. "Oh Ray, if your father could see you now… He would be so proud of you."
Ray smiled and blinked back tears. "Thanks Lee." He whispered, giving his best friend a hug.
There was a knock at the door then Bryan entered. Bryan was now the chief of guards. "I have been requested to escort you to the wedding hall." He said formally. After a few seconds, his face broke out in a grin and he grabbed Ray in a bear hug. "Ahh Ray, this is the happiest day of your life no?"
Ray smiled and nodded.
"Well, let's go." Lee said.
The three of them walked to the large doors and Ray composed himself. He looked at Lee with teary eyes and smiled. "Thank you." He whispered. "This wouldn't have happened without you."
Lee hugged Ray again. "No, thank you." He whispered back. "You defeated Nadia, brought happiness back into the kingdom again, and led me to Michael. I owe you my life Ray."
"Though I would gladly give you mine." Ray replied as the doors opened.
As Ray began his trip down the aisle, he took in the grandeur of the ballroom, turned wedding hall. The room was now filled with seats and people. One long red carpet traversed the marble floor and at the end of the carpet, the love of his life stood with a priest to marry them.
Ray smiled as reality sunk in. This was really happening. His body felt the now familiar warmth of true happiness as he continued his march down the aisle. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Michael and Max sitting there. The former smiling fondly and the latter trying not to bounce out of his seat in excitement.
Farther down the rows were Hiro and Brooklyn. The sweet couple had gotten married shortly after Kai moved into the castle and they were as happy and in love, if not more, than before. Hiro and Brooklyn glanced at each other then smiled at Ray.
Ray passed by Kai's friends; Maryam, Ozuma and the others. They were all glancing between Kai and Ray proudly and Maryam nodded at Ray as he passed.
Tyson sat near the end of the row and was waving at Ray. Ray gave Tyson a smile as he passed. Tala stood next to Kai and as Ray neared, he whispered his congratulations. Ray glanced at Tala as he passed and spoke with his eyes, 'thank you for everything'. That message had been in his eyes for each of the seven men and for Kai's friends. Without them, Ray would be dead.
Ray came to a stop in front of Kai.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…"
The words of the priest were drowned out in Ray's mind as he stared at Kai's eyes. Ray found himself thinking that he would give up the world just to see those eyes every day. Before he could think any more however, Ray's gaze was brought to Kai's lips as they formed words.
"I do."
Ray's head swam and his ears were repeating that line over and over again. He was far too happy to care that he cut off the priest as he said, "I do."
There we go. That was the epilogue. I realize that it was short in comparison to the other chapters but hey, it's only an epilogue.
Thank you all for sticking with me this long!
Review guys, say anything, but don't forget to vote for the next story!
Until next time, Afterthought9 says good bye.
