"What is it with the Crosszeria brothers and being naked around other men?" Hotsuma asked while being submerged in the enormous bath. Currently the only ones giving Hotsuma company were Tsukomo, Sairi, Senshirou, Yuki, and Kanata.

"They probably have their reasons. Kuroto and Shusei refused to come in too," Senshirou replied a bit disappointed.

"Shusei, I understand, but Kuroto, Luka and Luze don't have a good reason."

"Has Luka ever bathed with you Yuki?" Tsukomo asked. Yuki's face immediately turned red. Hotsuma grinned.

"So he has gone into a bath, but only if Yuki is the only one with him. When did this happen?"

"I-I just wanted Luka to join me for an evening bath…That's all it was," Yuki quickly replied, embarrassed that the topic had been brought up.

"You're not very convincing Yuki. Something definitely happened between you two. It's written all over your face," Kanata said, amused that his childhood friend was becoming more and more flustered.

"K-Kanata-san!"

"We should stop messing with Yuki. Luka will kill us if he finds out," Senshirou said.

"Are you really that scared of him Senshirou?" Hotsuma asked.

"Why don't we talk about you and Shusei? I'm sure you have a lot to tell us Hotsuma. I heard you two last night," Sairi said with a big smile. Hotsuma's face became beet red as everyone started to laugh and smile at his embarrassment.

It still felt strange being inside the Twilight Mansion. Luze couldn't help but roam the endless hallways whenever Kanata was spending time with Yuki. He was fascinated by the architecture of the building, along with the many rooms and luxurious decorations that hung on the walls.

It would be his new home with people who welcomed him with opened arms even after all he had done. It was the place where he would start anew with his lover. Luze wasn't sure what the future was going to bring him, but he could only hope that happiness was somewhere in it.

Making his way outside, Luze spotted Luka hanging around the fountain while Sodom chased a butterfly. As if sensing his presence, Luka turned his head and made direct eye contact with his brother. Neither of them said a word or moved from their place. It had been a rocky journey, but there they were, face to face in a calm setting, where swords were not drawn and angered looks were not painted across their faces. How long had it been since they were able to be around each other and look at one another not as enemies, but simply as brothers of the same bloodline?

"Luze! Isn't this butterfly pretty?!" Sodom asked as he ran up to Luze and showed him the blue butterfly he had caught.

"It's…interesting," was all Luze could say to the smiling familiar in front of him. Even though Luze didn't smile, Sodom's smile grew bigger.

"Master is really happy you're here!"

Luze looked over at Luka who was paying no mind to them. It didn't seem like Luka was glad to have him around. Luze thought the only reason he put up with him was for Yuki's sake.

"Come Luze! You and Master should have fun too!" Sodom grabbed onto Luze's arm and dragged him over to Luka. Once the two brothers were inches away from each other, Sodom happily went back to chasing the butterfly he had let escape.

"You're familiar is very energetic," Luze said while he kept his eyes on Sodom.

"It's in his nature," Luka replied.

"I suppose he said what he said because he's energetic."

"No…He wasn't lying when he said I was happy you're here."

Luze looked at Luka surprised. Luka continued, "I didn't want to betray you or our family back then, but I also didn't want to continue to serve the Demon King. I knew I wouldn't have been able to convince you to come with me to fight alongside God's Light, so I just left you're side without a word of what I was going to do."

"When I found out you had betrayed us, I was angry. I couldn't understand why you would push everything you had away just for a woman that wasn't one of us…"

"But you do now…because you did the same thing for Kanata."

Luze looked to the side, acknowledging the fact that Luka was right. Never, in a million years, did he think he would betray the Demon King like his brother had done. The thought was absurd. It wasn't until he found love and saw how powerful it was, that he realized why his brother had made the decision to leave. Where there is love, there is light, and where there is light, there is happiness.

A small smile formed on Luze's face, this time causing Luka to become surprised. Luze looked back at Luka, with the smile still on his face. The only words he could think of at the moment to show Luka his gratitude were simple but had a lot of meaning behind them.

"Thank you."

The day had come and gone just like all of the previous ones. The sky had turned dark but was filled with bright stars and the full moon. Luka and Yuki calmly sat outside and looked up at the beautiful scenery above them. Their hands were intertwined as Yuki's head rested on Luka's shoulder. Their relationship had grown stronger with the passing days. Yuki continued to blush every now and then whenever they kissed or became intimate, but that was what Luka loved about him. His innocence, his kindness, and his warmth were a few of things that the Opast adored about his lover.

In the beginning, the Zweilts would sneak up on them and watch them, just to make sure that Luka and Yuki were in fact together. Inwardly, they were glad the Zweilts stopped eavesdropping after a while, allowing them some privacy all to themselves with no prying eyes.

Closing his eyes, Yuki smiled and thanked God for giving him such happiness. He was with his friends and the love of his life. He hadn't lost anyone during the nightmare they had gone through. Now, he was at peace and grateful that life was finally on his side.

"Luka…"

"Yes Yuki?"

"I love you."

Luka smiled and kissed the top of Yuki's head. "I love you too."

"Kanata-sama…"

Luze tightened his grip on the bed sheet underneath him. His body was exposed and slowly being devoured by the man on top of him. No matter how many times they were together and how many marks Kanata left on his body, Luze always wanted more.

"Luze, I thought I told you to just call me Kanata."

"Forgive me…Kanata."

Kanata laughed a little, "You'll get used to it eventually. Now, let's hurry before we're late meeting up with Yuki and Luka."

"Yes Mas…Kanata."

Kanata smiled and gently kissed the corner of Luze's lips. He traced his hand over the Opast's porcelain chest until he rested it over the beating heart that raced underneath it.

"I love you Luze."

Luze's eyes went wide in shock. The words he never fathomed to receive from anyone were now being directed towards him. Why did this man create such vulnerability within the once cold and ruthless Opast?

Hesitantly, with a trembling mouth, Luze mustered up the courage to finally say the sacred words that described his feelings for Kanata – words he should have said a while back.

"I…love you, Kanata," Luze said as he placed his hand over Kanata's and smiled. Betrayal usually brings sadness and anger, but in this case, it brought Luze out of the darkness and into the arms of his beloved.
