There will be a sequel, in a separate fic, so don't forget to look for it if you want more.

This epilogue was already written when I decided to write the sequel, but it makes me laugh so there is no way I am letting it go, even though it may not fit with the sequel.

This is from the perspective of grown-up Nokoru and Suoh…

Epilogue (or How to Tell a Lot of Things Without Saying Anything)

Nokoru (in an indignant voice): But, what's this? The fanfic's finished, and we haven't even declared our love to each other! What kind of a shônen ai fanfic does not end with that climax, or else doesn't have the declaration followed by whole chapters of WAFF and rapturous love-making? Where's the transcript of my sweet declaration to you, who were not insensible to my charms, since elementary school it transpires, but were much too self-sacrificing to say anything about it, leaving me to do all the work?

Suoh (embarrassed):…

Nokoru: Readers know you love me, yet are left to ponder forever whether you became heartbroken with unrequited love and drowned your sorrow in some crazy end-of-the-world scenario involving angsty teens, had a torrid affair with me until we got found out and rudely exposed by the media, had a fling with Idomu (who's that guy, by the way?) then got the fright of your life when I let myself be seduced by the creepy Sakurazukamori to get back on you, or married me the day you became eighteen with the blessing of family and friends and lived happily ever after (barring the many children, though)… Speaking of which, did I ever tell you that gold band on your finger goes well with your eyes?

Suoh (beginning to blush):…

Nokoru: You haven't even properly kissed me ONCE in this fanfic - that peck on the cheek in the play doesn't count! How Clamp-like! How unfanfic-like! How far from the truth!

Suoh (blushing):…

Nokoru: Readers haven't been informed of what a gentle lover you are! The whole world SHOULD be informed! By way of radio, newspapers and Internet! Though not through Youtube, maybe…

Suoh (lobster red):…

Nokoru: They haven't been reassured that all the tenderness I pour into you by the bucket is overflowing, and that I never come near abusing you! Not even for play! And that you're the one still plaguing me about paperwork like a slave-driver. Though I must have masochist tendencies, for I often enjoy that… and of course, I like the reward after I do get to finish it, too…

Suoh (beet red):…

Nokoru: Why, readers don't even know who's uke or seme, or whether we switch from one to the other!

Suoh (hides his face):…

Nokoru: Well, then, I'll have to let them know…

Suoh : NOKORU!

Nokoru (kisses the top of Suoh's head): I'll have to let them know I love you very much.

Suoh (blushes in a happy kind of way): You'll be the death of me.

Nokoru (feigns great surprise): What? Did you just use a contraction? Here's a proof of love if ever there was one!

Suoh (kisses Nokoru):…

Nokoru's bubble thought: Now the lady readers will be happy I hope… as for I, I sure am.
