Viola! Here's the expected first epilogue. It's Yuki and Shuichi's ending to the story. I've got to type up Tatsuha and Ryuichi's ending now. A treat for my reviewers, cause everyone loves Ryuichi. Apparently, though, no one likes Tatsuha so.. hehe j/k

It's horrendously short, I know... but it's an epilogue and it makes the ending more interesting. I like my ending quotes. They're great. Crowning achievement, man!

Epilogue 1 Yuki and Shuichi

Very early the next morning, as the sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon, Shuichi lay curled against Yuki. The sweat drying on their skin made it glitter in the growing light. The younger man smiled while his fingertips brushed over Yuki's abdomen in small repetitive circles.

Too relaxed to squirm, the novelist sighed contentedly. His own fingers ran lightly through Shuichi's hair. Neither of the men felt like moving.

Watching the vocalist, Yuki had a thought.

"Shuichi."

Looking up he paused, laying his hand flat on Yuki's stomach. "Yeah?"

"Do you… love me?"

Shuichi frowned and sat up, the blanket falling to his waist. "You know I do, I always have." He took the hand that used to run through his hair and placed it on the left side of his chest. Smiling slightly he looked down to Yuki's wondering eyes. "You feel that?" He nodded. "That's my heart, and it's all yours."

Yuki closed his eyes and felt Shuichi's heartbeat for a long moment before speaking. "I…I think I like you, at least." Opening his eyes he sat as well leaning against the wall. "I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know that I can't live without you. When you're not with me, I feel alone. When I was in the hospital, it was hell for me. You never came, not once. I honestly could've died and not cared. But I didn't. I didn't, because I knew I had to at least try. Try to prove to you that I have this feeling. This feeling that's so... strange to me." Yuki looked over only to see Shuichi smiling at him.

"Eiri." Yuki's eyes widened slightly. Shuichi had never said his first name before. The vocalist nodded to himself and wrapped around Yuki once more. Resuming his tickling of the novelist's stomach he slowly licked along his collarbone, up the nape of his neck, and gently tugged on his earlobe with his teeth.

Yuki groaned and pulled him onto his lap. "We just went through this and you want to do it again?" Nothing about his demeanor told Shuichi that he was complaining as he rubbed the younger man's hips.

"Eiri," His name rolled of the younger man's toungue easily. "This doesn't change anything, does it? Between us?"

Yuki smiled. "Nope, you're still a damn brat and I'm still a stuck-up cold-hearted bastard." His eyes sparkled to make sure he knew he was joking.

Shuichi nodded again, still strangely serious. "Good, just so you know I exist."

"Silly boy, how could I forget?" Yuki silenced Shuichi's reply, if there was one, with a fierce kiss.

Fin

REVIEWERS!

DarkMetalAngel of Destruction: I'm hoping to make another Gravi story soon. This one was fun. I can usually think of a lot worse stuff than this though. hehe, but actually I was thinking of drawing a bit, then working on an original, so it might be a bit.

Shadowed Butterfly: Actually, you'll have to wait for Ryu! haha! Suspense. Oh well, it keeps you guys coming back, right?

SpiritsFlame: I e-mailed you! lol Yeah, hope this wasn't too short though. It's hard to make epilogues long.

Angelique Starlight: It fit your song perfectly Angel, I honestly can't thank you enough. Glad you liked it, but just remember, there's still another epilogue.

Akeatia Fox: You don't intimidate me. lol, I'm glad you love my story so much. I'd be happy to be strangled by you! hehe

GravityNeko: No, it's not my song, I wish it was, but I'm not that good. It was written by Angelique Starlight, who has kick ass stories. You should read hers too, well worth it, and a lot more edge-of-your-seat than this one. hehe Yeah, Yuki is a jerk, but he has a perfectly good reason to be. Damn the original Yuki.

There ya go. Lemme once again thank each and every one of you guys!

BTW: You all read and reviewed Memory and Sibling Rivalry right?
