A/N: Okay, so I thought about what I did to the last chapter. I butchered it. A lot.

So... I was trying to decide how to patch this up. I know I said there'd be no sequel or such, but I decided to give in to my readers and make them happy. (I was a bit upset myself...) It just needed a plot twister: and it got it. The only thing is, sequel gets tagged onto the original story. n.n;

Disclaimer: I don't own anything anybody else does. Thank you animekisekae for the idea, it inspired this last chapter!

Just Follow Your Heart
The Aftermath

A year or so passed by. Kratos and Yuan had left to find a place to settle down (preferrably Iselia,) as the other four continued on their journey. They had heard no word of Zelos since Lloyd had asked him to leave...

"Colette? Can I talk to you for a sec?" Lloyd found himself fiddling with his fingers in his hand.

"Yes, sure!" The two walked away from the Sage siblings for privacy.

Now, it wasn't that Lloyd didn't like Colette at all anymore. It was just that... the spark had faded. And the closest they had ever gotten was a kiss. As a hormonal boy, he needed more than that. "Colette, we've been together for about a year. And I think it's time that we realize that... there's... nothing holding us together." He hoped he hadn't upset her: even though his feelings for her were no longer romantic, they were strong in friendship.

"Lloyd? What do you mean there's nothing holding us together? Like... glue?" She was too naïve, even for the blockhead himself.

"No, I mean, our... relationship." She nodded in final understanding. "We haven't barely gone farther than a kiss."

"To tell you the truth, Lloyd, I really don't feel the same way I did before." She blinked in a somewhat confused state as the boy sighed in relief. "So... what are you saying?"

"There's someone... and I don't think it's you... who can make me happier than anything." There was only one person who could give him all he needed. And he had shut him out of his life so many months ago. Regret had slowly overwhelmed him as weeks passed by, but now it was in its final climax as realization was quickly kicking in.

"You're... what?" Raine and Genis gave Lloyd a priceless look.

"I told you, I'm going back to Meltokio to see Zelos!" He crossed his arms and slightly fumed.

"Ooh, and you and Colette broke up, which means... I get to make fun of you again!" the half-elven boy cheered as Raine hit him over the head.

"Genis! When did you get to be so mean?"

"I picked it up from you."

"...be quiet."

"I just hope Zelos hasn't found any other girls while I was gone..."

"I'm all alone... there's no one here beside me..." Zelos sang to himself, sitting on his bed. The only reason why he wasn't preoccupied was because he had sent his two children to a different home for better care. To tell the truth, Zelos sucked at being a parent, and it was better for the two to be exposed to real people versus a lone bisexual.

"Master Zelos, you have company," Sebastian opened the door.

"Tell them I'm busy." He wasn't in the mood to amuse anyone.

"But, I'm sure you would like to--"

"Zelos!" Another boy cut off. The redhead blinked awkwardly at this.

"Sebastian, was that..."

"Your company, sir."

He immediately sprang from the beside. "Lloyd!" He was tackled onto the ground by a reddish blur. When the face of the predator came into focus, it was no other than his love. "Lloyd, what are you doing here?"

"I promised I'd come back, didn't I?" he replied. "Besides, me and Colette just about finished up our journey. And... I missed you." The last sentence had been tagged on in an innocent whisper.

"I missed you too. You know how long it's been? I thought you were never coming back!"

"It takes a while to travel around and collect all those freakin' Expheres," he replied. "Zelos... I'm really sorry I left you... I... still loved you--" His confession session had been broken off by a strong impact of a second pair of lips against his own. There was an interlude of "swapping spit" for the next few minutes. (1)

When the broke away, Lloyd was speechless. "Now, see what you can get from me versus Colette?" Lloyd nodded. "Good boy." He was pulled down and out of camera view as moans and smacking of lips were heard.

"Sugar sugar, makes me high! No one knows--"

"Wrong fanfic, you idiot." Kratos threw a box of crayons at Yuan, and they exploded all over the floor.

"WAHH! KRATOS, WHY DO YOU HATE ME NOW!" (2)

"...wrong category."

"...oh."

"You got into the cookies again, didn't you?" (3) Yuan nodded innocently. "Moron." They were interrupted when the door opened again, this time with both Raine and Genis.

"You were supposed to watch these kids an hour ago!" Raine fumed as they set down two young children. "Kratos, what kind of grandfather are you!"

"The kind whom can't believe he still is one." Crystal and Lance ran straight for Kratos, who was already sitting on the floor. They caused him to fall on his back. "Ow... All right, calm down! If you let me up, you can color with the crayons." The two cleared, and the angel got up to get paper as Yuan was yelling.

"Kratos! Get back here fast! They're attempting to color on me, and it hurts!"

Kratos took his sweet time.

Fin

A/N: There! Notes:

(1) Remember, this is still a comedy fanfic. I had to put in some half-decent comedic lines. Besides, use your imaginations, peeps.

(2) I disclaim that line from the Gravitation anime.

(3) I claim the cookies from QFTUH!

I'm sorry if the chapter is a bit crapped. It's supposed to be short, since it is an aftermath... thing. And... I wanted to fix this ASAP.

Again, I apologize to everyone who was upset by the ending. I was still out of the comedy swing and such, and I wanted this to die. Luckily, I got things to work out. (Somewhat...) I now find amusement in crayons. EVERYONE COLOR ON YUAN!

Yuan: O.O :runs:

Genki: Again, please review! Let me know that you aren't so upset now. ;-;
