Warning now, there is some smut towards the end. Now you can't say I didn't warn you!

Three years later...
----
Duo knew that today was the anniversary of his father's death, but he took today to visit both of his parents' graves. He had carefully laid flowers on top of each grave, he had asked for his father's grave to be buried beside his mother know that's what his father would've wanted.
He was now nineteen and living with Heero in an apartment close to his old neighborhood, but he never visited the old house. That house had once been a home for a happy family, but now it was empty and nobody ever wanted to move in knowing what occurred in the house.
Heero stood silently beside Duo as his lover continued fixing up the graves. He didn't feel awkward being there, the first time they had visited together he had, but Heero was use to it now and knew it was important to Duo. Duo turned away from the graves meaning he was ready to go home, and Heero kissed him softly on the lips.
"Are you sure you're ready to leave? We still have time before the party."
"Yeah, I'm done. They would've hated it if I sat here all day and moped around." Duo grinned and slipped an arm around Heero's waist. "Besides, it is Quatre's birthday and it would be rude to be late!"
"You always make us late anyway, always having to do your hair." Heero stated matter-of-factly.
Duo pretended to look hurt, "I love my hair, thank you very much! And for your info I don't take that long!"
Heero stopped and looked thoughtful for a moment, "You're wrong. The shortest amount of time you've taken is about fifteen minutes on hair alone."
"You need a hobby if you time me every day to see how long it takes just to do my hair!" Duo grinned and kissed Heero again, "You're driving by the way, that way we'll be on time for sure."
----
They arrived at Quatre's home, which was like a mansion, but with Quatre's big family it was necessary. Heero and Duo walked up to the doors together and were greeted by one of the blonde's many sisters, who led them to where Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei all were. The five close friends greeted each other and they all sat around in a small circle.
"Happy Birthday Quatre!" Duo hugged the blonde teen who unfortunately hadn't grown too much since he was sixteen.
"How are you guys? It's been so long since we've actually be able to talk." Quatre smiled at his friends.
"Well since you three are so quiet I'll start talking first." Duo glanced at Trowa, Wufei, and Heero, and then began talking about all of the things he'd been doing.
He talked about how he and Heero moved in with each other, how they each had jobs and were looking for college. Duo also talked about how much he wanted a kitten, but Heero wouldn't let them get another one because they'd already adopted a fat older cat.
After a while of listening to the animated teen talk, Wufei leaned over and whispered in Heero's ear. "Does he talk this much all the time?"
Heero nodded silently.
"How do you live with it?"
As far as Wufei remembered, Duo had been this way in middle school, but during high school he'd talk more but not this much. It was sort of a nice change though, it meant that Duo was happier than he'd been in a long time, and as much as Wufei hated to admit it he liked listening to Duo ramble.
After Duo had finished telling Quatre every little detail he could think of, Wufei talked about what he'd been up to. He was dating a young woman for almost five months now, just got into his own preferred college, and already had a decent job going for him.
Trowa's sister, Catherine, had gotten married three weeks ago and was on her honeymoon, and he was living on his own now. He didn't actually mention that him and Quatre were dating, but everyone already knew of that since this would be their fourth year together.
Quatre was already taking on the family business while juggling school on the side, and about three of his sisters were about to get married.
The five had had pretty normal lives after that day three years ago, where both Treize and Zechs died. There had been a long trial over whether they would be found guilty as responsible for the murders, but they hadn't been found guilty. It was obvious that Treize had killed himself and Zechs' death was purely in self-defense.
Police were also able to find evidence of Zechs murdering Katherine Maxwell, and so Duo was finally able to have closure of the case.
Timothy Maxwell's funeral had been bigger than Duo could've ever imagined as there were several family members from his mother's side there who hadn't even called for a year or more. Even some of his co-workers, that had survived the bombing came to mourn, and a few of their old family friends.
Quatre's party ended around midnight that night, but Trowa, Wufei, Heero, and Duo didn't leave until around two that morning.
----
Heero had decided to drive them home since Duo had a couple of drinks that he shouldn't have. He was practically falling asleep by the time Heero pulled into the parking lot and parked, "Duo wake up, we're home."
Duo sat up and opened the car door, forgetting to take off his seatbelt. Heero undid the seatbelt and then Duo got all the way out. He grinned at his lover and then attached himself to Heero's arm, not caring about some of the odd looks he was getting. They made it to the elevator until Duo couldn't contain himself anymore.
He wrapped his arms around Heero's neck and pulled the taller teen into a fierce kiss. Heero returned the kiss allowing his tongue to slip into Duo's mouth. "We should wait until we get to our room."
"I don't care, it's not like neighbors haven't heard us have sex before, what's the difference if they see us making out?" Duo teased Heero before recapturing his mouth again. As Heero continued trying to break their kiss, Duo grinded his erection against Heero's.
The taller young man finally managed to break away long enough suddenly grab Duo's legs and pick him up. He carried him to their apartment; all the while Duo was nipping at Heero's ear and neck making Heero fumble with the trying to put the key in the lock. Luckily none of their neighbors came out since it was so late, and they made it into the apartment without anyone seeing them.
Heero didn't bother locking the door because he knew Duo wouldn't be patient for much longer. He put Duo down on their couch and threw off his shirt while Duo proceeded to do the same. Heero leaned in towards him and began to tease Duo by kissing his stomach gently as he traveled down towards the waistband of his pants.
Since he was slightly intoxicated, Duo fumbled with the zipper of his pants to the point Heero got too impatient and unzipped it himself. Already finding Duo with an erection wasn't a big shock, but the young man didn't seem to be expecting Heero mouth consuming his sex.
He grabbed ahold of Heero's shoulders for some support as Heero continued to please him. Moaning out his lover's name made him go a little faster, so Duo continued to do so until he could feel himself about to climax.
Heero stopped abruptly and pulled away, smirking at the look of astonishment Duo gave him.
"Wh-why'd you stop?"
"I have an ulterior motive, that's why." Heero slipped off his own pants and grabbed their 'special' bottle of hand lotion from a nearby table. He began to lube himself up slowly, torturing Duo almost to the point he couldn't contain himself, but made sure not to let Duo get any satisfaction just yet. "You never did have patience."
"Now's not a great moment to be taking your fucking time!" Duo was having a hard time being angry as he continued watching Heero. As soon as he felt Heero begin to prep him, he didn't know how much more he could take. "Will you just do it?!"
"The last thing I want is for you to complain about being too sore to get up tomorrow because of your impatience." Heero connected with Duo, but pinned Duo's hands above his head not allowing him to help himself.
They created a sort of rhythm, but it didn't take long for either of them to reach their climax together. Heero could already see Duo falling asleep and made sure to bring an extra washcloth with him when he returned from the bathroom. He had learned the first time he'd had sex with Duo that the last thing you want to wake up to in the morning is all of the stickiness.
Duo murmured his thanks as he continued to drift off to sleep, and Heero carried the young man to their bed.
"Goodnight Duo," Heero kissed Duo's lips, and felt his lover try and fail at returning the kiss.
"I love you Heero..." Duo was already asleep before Heero could even reply, but the look of peace was enough to make Heero leave.
It had been hard for them after everything they'd discovered and went through... but somehow they had managed to work out their love. Heero was thankful for that as he knew what Duo's and his fate could've been if they hadn't met up that day; if Heero hadn't been so intent on getting Duo's attention.
He slumped on the couch and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels as he came upon some documentary. Heero couldn't remember what time he fell asleep or what he was doing, but the next morning he woke up to Duo curled up on top of him like a cat. Both of them had managed to somehow fit onto that tiny sofa (which thankfully he had cleaned off before falling asleep).
They stayed like that, as Heero just enjoyed the moment of peace with Duo.

Was it a horrible ending? I really hope it wasn't! I can't tell if it's too corny of an ending or if it's just bad, or if... or if it's actually decent? I would love now more than ever to hear what everyone thinks of the story it's ending, and whatever else you want to mention about Living With Sin. If it isn't a satisfying enough conclusion to this series, feel welcome to tell me because I'll rewrite it if necessary.
Anyways, this is the final chapter of this series but not the end of my Heero/Duo/Heero fanfiction! Keep a lookout for more updates coming soon, and if you're interested check out my older series Vampire's Servant. The sequel to that series is coming out soon too if you guys want some reading material.
Hope you enjoyed this final chapter!
Please R&R!
