Written in the Stars: Conclusion
Rated: R
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Don't sue. (The disclaimer was accidentally forgotten on a few chapters before this, and I'm too lazy to fix it, so just for the record, I own nothing in those either...)
Thanks to: J. Marguerite, Yuta, Ecstatic, Laddia Shrangg, xalani7 for their reviews. This is now my most-reviewed fic, a fact that really surprised me, considering the controversial topic (yaoi *and* incest). Perhaps this got more reviews than any other, because it's rated R... dunno, but thanks so much to everyone who reviewed and gave me feedback on it! And thanks for being patient and not storming out when there was no time, or just no inspiration to write.
Author's Note: This may be the last chapter of Written in the Stars, but that doesn't mean the story of Dib, Gaz, Zim, and Tak is over. Perhaps after a sanity-restoring break, and some work on my other works in progress they'll be back in a sequel.
(...) denotes thought.
A month later...
A stray breeze blew in through the open window. Dib shivered as it moved a strand of violet hair across his chest. He had his arms around Gaz, and she was sleeping, but his eyes were pointed to the stars. It confused him that he could love them both so much; that he could love each of them so completely, so entirely, without loving the other any less.
He still thought about Zim a lot. Wondered where he was, how he was doing, if he still thought about him.
Beside him, Gaz curled up closer, sighing. He had worried, after what had happened between the two of them, that things would get weird. But, while things had changed and had been a bit awkward in the beginning, they had settled down in to a routine that resembled normal.
For the first time in his life, he was glad his dad was never home. When Professor Membrane was there, the two found it difficult to keep things a secret. All the little touches, the glances they had become so accustomed to, suddenly had to be guarded against. It wasn't hard to avoid him. When they weren't home, he didn't bother to try and contact them, and if they went upstairs in to one of their rooms, he never bothered to find out what they were doing, assuming one was in their bedroom and the other had gone out.
Gaz stirred then, and Dib shifted his gaze, meeting a pair of wide violet eyes. He lifted a hand, brushing a strand of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear. She grasped his hand in hers, bringing his fingertips to her lips. "Are you okay?"
He nodded as she kissed her fingers. He was okay... or at least if he wasn't, he would be.
~*~*~
Gaz had never put much faith in love. She had always thought such a notion was for the weak, for those who couldn't face a lifetime alone. Then, she had fallen, and she knew, understood what it was all about. She now knew what it felt like to give someone a part of yourself, and to get a part of them back in return.
She also realized that the notion of having only one true love out there was ridiculous. The odds were already against the possibility of finding another who completed your soul, making the possibility of finding more a nearly non-existent. But, Dib had shown her it was possible. And for the moment, she was happy to have found that kind of love... even if it didn't last forever, even if they were found out and driven apart, for now they had one another, and for now, that would be enough.
~*~ The End ~*~
