Rimnerel: Well, everyone, this is it. The epilogue. It's been a long five months working with this story, but I want to say that it was the best five months of my life.
Tyson: Yeah. This was the first story you posted on fanfiction.net, and look at the turn out of it.
Rimnerel: You're right! It's because of all my great reviewers that this story took off the ground and captured hearts. I want to thank everyone one of my reviewers for their comments, opinions, suggestions, and admiration for this one. By the way, Shinikami Dragon, I thought you forgot this story!
Kai: Now can we get to the chapter?
Rimnerel: Saying good-bye isn't easy...unless everyone wants a sequel. If you do, drop me an email telling me and I'll get back to you all probably within two weeks. If not, then have fun reading my other material because soon I promise to deliver more great stories. Okay, if you read The Reason, that was a tie in for chapter 27 and this piece here. If you didn't read The Reason...um...well...it's a good story, so you might want to check it out along with my other stuff. Now on to the ending.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenny opened his eyes, the sunlight pushing through the curtains to light the room up just a bit. With a light yawn the young man sat up, listening to the quiet sounds of the apartment. A smile tugged at his lips, thinking about the postcard his parents had sent him from their second honeymoon trip to Kyushu. They were scheduled to be back within another week or two.
He would have been down, being that his parents had sent Amy to babysit him, but...well, there was a little misunderstanding with her and she left. The misunderstanding being that he didn't need a babysitter, he already had one.
Looking over to his left side, Kenny found red hair brushing against the sleeping face of his boyfriend. Watching Tala sleep for a long minute, Kenny finally leaned down to kiss the tip of the male's nose. Kenny felt the male stir. Pulling back, Kenny found a pair of azure eyes staring up at him. A slight smile tugging at those sensual lips that Kenny wanted to kiss so much.
"Morning, Tala," Kenny whispered.
"Come here," Tala murmured sleepily, pulling the male to him. Kenny came willingly, feeling his lips brush against Tala's in a deepening kiss. Opening his mouth, he allowed Tala's tongue to wander inside, playing over the insides of his mouth. When Tala pulled back, he found Kenny was already reaching inside his shirt to touch the smooth skin there. Tala let out a soft moan. "You're eager this morning."
"You make me like this," Kenny said, feeling Tala's hands make quick work of removing the only piece of clothing that Kenny wore and tossed it over the side of the bed onto the floor. Where most the their clothing had been thrown the previous night before. "You know, a year can change a person."
"It's been a year already," Tala said, pulling Kenny on top of him, allowing his fingers to dance across the creamy skin. His eyes shimmered with lust, allowing one of his thumbs to stroke one of Kenny's hardening nipples.
Kenny threw his head back, loving the way that Tala was making him feel. There was no feeling greater in the world that could exist as the emotions that he and Tala shared. It had took time yes, but eventually Tala finally told him how he really felt. Kenny had cried that day when those three words came out. And he cried every time he heard them come from the red head. He probably would continue to cry the more Tala said how much he loved Kenny.
Slowly, but surely, doors had begun opening between them, and Kenny could say now that he truly began to understand this man he loved. Even if there were times when Tala regressed back to who he use to be, those were very rare occurances now. Kenny's tears never held pain these days, only the happiness of being with the Russian.
"Yes, a year since we were fated to meet," Kenny said with a smile. He looked down into Tala's eyes, seeing the distinct emotion that lived in the male's eyes these days. That emotion that made Kenny breathless with excitement and love for his boyfriend.
"You think so?" Tala rose a brow.
"What else could it have been but that," Kenny said. "Are you trying to say that it wasn't?"
"If it wasn't fated, I'm glad that it happened anyway," Tala said. "You are my life, Kenny." The brunette felt tears well up in his eyes, looking down at his boyfriend. He took Tala's hand and rose it to his heart.
"You are my life also," Kenny whispered. "I love you so much Tala. More than I think I could ever express now."
Breaking the moment, there came a knock on the door of Tala's apartment, which was where Kenny had been staying for the past month. Since the male had decided to stay in Japan for good, he though it was best that he had a stable place to stay.
Since Kai was still pissed off with him during that time, Kenny turned to Mr. Dickenson for help. The head of the B.B.A had been more than willing to help the Russian blader out, providing him with shelter and more. Tala had promised to pay off his debts and so fair he had been doing a fairly good job. Kai had even began trusting him more, and Dizzi didn't shoot off smart remarks either.
"Don't answer it," Tala murmured as Kenny got ready to move.
"I don't think you want them storming your apartment. More than likely it's Tyson and the others coming to get me for school," Kenny smiled as he got up from off his boyfriend. When Kenny saw the slight pout on Tala's lips, he leaned down and kissed the male. "I promise that you can have me all you want tonight, is that a deal?"
"Hm..." Tala thought about it, then looked up at his love with a wicked grin. "Every way that I like you?"
"Yes," Kenny said nodding with a smile twitching the corners of his mouth. "Any and every way."
"All right then. Have a good day at school." Kenny laughed as he pulled on the long night shirt that had been tossed on the floor a few moments ago, while he walked out the bedroom, closing the door behind him. Walking down the hall, he went to the front door, opening it. As expected, Tyson and Max were standing there waiting.
"Hi, guys," Kenny said.
"You shouldn't be fooling around so early in the morning," Tyson remarked, his arms crossed over his chest, giving Kenny a slightly reprimanding look.
"Oh, pay him no mind. He's still mad that I interrupted some morning action between him and Ray," Max teased. Tyson gave the blonde a slight glare, as Max hid his grin.
"I swear, you've been with Kai too long. You're starting to pick up his knack for interrupting my fun," Tyson said. Turning his attention back to Kenny, he gave the male a look. "You should go ahead and get dressed so we can make it to school on time. And no more mushy stuff before we leave."
"All right Tyson," Kenny said, letting them in the apartment to wait in the living room. "By the way, I thought that Zeo would be with you guys. He didn't come?"
"You know Zeo. Now that he's with Kain, he doesn't hear anything," Tyson remarked.
Kenny smiled, still a bit sad about the wasted relationship between him and the green haired male. Time was healing the wounds that the previous year had inflicted, and they had both been able to move on without sorrow for the lost of something that could have worked, if not for the fact of the tiny things between them. More than four months ago though, Zeo had been introduced to Kain, leader of Team Psychic by Tyson, and the two had just hit it off immediately.
It was amazing, the time of a year could do to everyone. Not only had time changed Zeo, but Kenny too. He finally felt complete. He had someone to talk to, that understood him, and would love and protect him. More than Kenny would have thought he would get from finding someone on the side of the road. Not to mention, someone as arrogant, cynical, antisocial, and cold as Tala had been. But the of course time changed him too. Smoothing out the rough edges and showing the diamond Kenny knew was there.
"Kenny, hurry up!" Tyson shouted.
"I'm coming!" Kenny remarked, putting on a clean pair of clothes that was in the spare room. Closing the door, he went back in Tala's bedroom to get his bag, only to find that Tala was waiting for him at the door. With a smile, Kenny took the bag from the male, kissing him good-bye. But Tala would not relinquish the young man that easily. In the middle of it become heated, the two heard footsteps, and Kenny was promptly dragged away by Tyson.
"I said enough of that, we're going to be late for school," Tyson said. "I swear, you two are like rabbits. Say good-bye to him."
"Bye Tala," Kenny said with a slightly goofy smile. "I'll see you this afternoon."
Tala heard Tyson say something more, before the three left to go to school. Silence settled in the apartment, but he knew it wouldn't be like that forever. He had finally found a place for his head to rest. To allow his mind to ease from the past that could no longer haunt him. That brunette, his life, his angel, would make sure of that.
