Well, as I was looking over the story I realized that Touya and Yukito never even kissed and I just couldn't let that happen. I also wanted to incorporate Yue more than I was able to so here is one more part that I wrote just now. Let's call it an epilogue and say it takes place a couple of weeks later.
For it's Late and the Moon is High: Epilogue
(Chapter Ten I guess ^_^)

"It's getting late, I'd better get home." Touya shuffled his papers together and started putting them back into his backpack. His father and sister would be expecting him home for dinner tonight and he didn't want to make them worry unnecessarily. He had asked Yukito if he wanted to come along, but his friend had seemed strangely distant today and he had turned him down. Touya looked over at his friend with concern one last time as he slung his bag over his shoulder and turned to go.
Yukito stood leaning against his kitchen counter with a cup of lukewarm tea still in his hand. It shook slightly in his grasp as he watched Touya start to walk away. He didn't want his friend to leave, but he was having trouble convincing himself that he really wanted to go to Touya's house and have dinner. What he really wanted was to throw his arms around Touya and envelop him in a warm embrace before pressing his lips to Touya's in a passionate kiss. Instead, he gripped the handle of the ceramic cup a little more tightly in his fingers and smiled in his friend's direction.
Touya hesitated for a moment at the doorway glancing back one more time at the man who he had confessed his love to only a few short weeks ago. Yukito blinked back at him, but he couldn't hold his gaze for very long. The fair-haired young man lowered his gaze briefly and when he looked back up his eyes shone with a light made Touya turn back towards him.
"Stay." Yukito said softly letting that one syllable word echo within the space between them. In an instant, Touya dropped his backpack to the floor and Yukito set his teacup aside. The two young men met halfway and Touya swept Yukito up in his arms bending down to wrap his arms around the other man's shoulders. Yukito tilted his head and pressed his warm lips against Touya's waiting mouth. The dark haired young man opened his mouth slightly to deepen the kiss as Yukito snaked his arms around Touya's broad shoulders and brought one hand up to tangle in Touya's hair. Touya ran his tongue along Yukito's bottom lip and pressed it forward against slick teeth. Yukito moaned with pleasure at the sensation and reached out to taste Touya's tongue with his own. The two men pressed together moving lips across lips and wrapping arms around each other in a tumultuous expression of love and emotion held back for too long. It felt right in so many indescribable ways. It made sense in more ways than they could ever imagine. It was love and it was real and that was all that mattered.
Touya pulled away from Yukito reluctantly as the light-haired young man whimpered slightly at the absence of warmth and comfort.
Touya smiled hesitantly and brought one hand up to brush away a few unruly bangs from Yukito's face. "I should call home, but don't worry, I'll be right back."
Touya returned to find Yue waiting for him on the couch. He didn't know what to say at first, but the sparkle in the other man's gaze was so similar to the love he had seen in Yukito's just a few minutes before that he couldn't see any reason to be afraid. He was a little nervous as he walked over and sat beside the ethereal creature though and he tried not to let it show on his face.
"Don't be afraid." Yue said impassively as he leaned closer to Touya letting his long silvery hair fall across his shoulders and spill down the arm of the couch.
Touya opened his mouth to respond, but closed it again when he saw the way Yue's hands shook slightly in his lap and noted the hesitance in his cat-like gaze. There was emotion there that he had not seen at first. Yue was uncertain about something and Touya had a pretty good idea that it was the same thing Yukito had been uncertain of only a few minutes before.
"I'll stay." Touya answered soothingly as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Yue's perfectly formed mouth and brought one hand up to brush away the long silky strands of Yue's hair. He marveled at the softness of Yue's warm lips and found himself deepening the kiss as he felt his heart beat quickly in his chest. There was a familiarity to the kiss that he couldn't quite identify, but he had the strangest feeling that Yukito was smiling at him throughout. When he finally pulled away he had to blink to clear away the double vision of both Yue and Yukito staring back at him expectantly. Both sets of eyes held love and passion and understanding. Touya couldn't quite make sense of it all but he knew that those same emotions must be mirrored in his own gaze. He loved Yukito and Yue because really they were both parts of the same whole. Someday the barriers would break down and they would come to realize this for themselves. Until then all he could do was shower them both with as much love as he could muster and hope that it was enough to equal the love they clearly had for him.
