Note: As witnessed by this quickie epilogue, I have no talent whatsoever for poetry. However, that doesn't stop me from torturing you with some. This little piece of something popped into my head one night while reading stories with my daughter and viola! Instant, bad poetry, just add cringing and groans.

Epilogue
Heero saw a little lamb
His fleece as dark as night
All he wanted was a friend
But the lamb ran away in fright
"I just want to hug you", said Heero
Pleading his case on his knees
But the little lamb just glared at him.
"Why can't you leave me be?"
"I think you're beautiful and kind
And want you by my side."
"Well I think you are bad", said the little lamb
And off he went to hide.
So there Heero sat, sad and lonely
His heart as cold as snow
"My little lamb has believed the lies
"So I guess that I will go."
Wufei sat there and stared at the piece of crumpled notebook paper that he'd found between the sofa cushions while searching for the TV remote. He'd read the scribbled poem over and over again, able to recite it from heart by now. He must have written this when I….
But the lamb ran away in fright
It had been almost a year since Wufei had accused Heero of selling himself as well as his photographs.
"Well I think you are bad", said the little lamb
And off he went to hide.
Thanks to Trowa, Wufei had been forced to admit how much Heero meant to him and that he didn't want to be away from him. Wufei looked up to the large framed photograph of himself hanging on the wall and smiled, even as a dull ache throbbed in his chest.
"I was such a fool."
The sound of keys and locks tumbling brought Wufei out of his reverie and he stood up, quickly pocketing the piece of paper. He met Heero at the door and practically knocked the photographer off his feet as he wrapped his arms around Heero's neck and let his body's full weight fall against Heero as he kissed him deeply.
When Heero regained his balance, he returned the kiss and the passion, not really caring the reason and willing to give as much as he received. Finally Wufei had to pull back to breathe and he gazed into Heero's eyes, smiling.
"Wow. I missed you too."
Wufei chuckled.
"I love you, Heero. But don't ever quit your day job."
End.
I would like to thank everyone who made it to the end. Whew!
