EPILOGUE
12 YEARS LATER
I watched Wufei pace the room while he took the occasional swig from his flask.
"Nervous?" I couldn't help but ask with a smirk on my face as I leaned back on the chaise I was on.
His obsidian eyes narrowed at me and he gave me the finger.
Beside me was Quatre, cool as a cucumber. "Duo, be nice."
"Pacing isn't going to change anything," Trowa stated from his spot next to the window, he fiddled idly with his bow tie. "I can't wait to get this thing off."
"It's the fact that both of our families and all of our friends are going to be there. Watching," Wufei managed to say after another swig.
"You knew that this was going to happen when you popped the question last year, dumbass," I chuckled at his expense. Earning myself another very enthusiastic one finger salute.
We were in the groom's suit in the chapel, waiting until it was time for us to take our places at the altar.
There was a knock on the door and Heero poked his head in.
"There's the maid of honor." Trowa grinned at his cousin.
My lover gave him his traditional dead panned look before giving the groom-to-be his attention. "Relena wanted to know if she could borrow your flask."
A little boy of four years old poked his head in as well, waving at the group of us and smiling widely. He was the ring bearer. Remember how my sister Lu had wanted to hook up with Milliardo so badly? Well, the two of them eventually had a fling while we were all away at college, and the end result was the nephew Relena and I shared. Lu and Mili were still together, just not married.
"Seems like you're not the only one with nerves to steel," Quatre said, entirely too amused with the situation.
Grumbling, Wufei handed Heero his flask.
"We start in ten minutes," My lover reminded him before leaving the room to go back to the bride's quarters.
See, after high school we all went to different colleges. Both Wufei and Relena were driven, and had decided on going to different schools. Wufei had gotten into Stanford to become a lawyer, while Relena went to Brown and entered politics. They had broken up, seeing that college was a time to have new experiences and not thinking that the long distance thing would work.
However, after over a year of no contact with one another, they decided it was best to keep in touch. They just missed each other too much to do anything else. And sure, both of them dated, but they always gravitated toward each other.
After college the two moved back into our home state, living in the capital, and decided to try and take things to the next level again.
Quatre went to NYU while Trowa got into Queens University. They lived in New York together all throughout their college, and still lived together in New York to this day. Quatre went into business and worked for his father, while Trowa was a middle school teacher. Something about the two of them just screamed true love from day one. They were that couple that everyone wanted to be. I'm sure they had their fair share of problems, but they were never public about them.
And I know you want to know about Heero and I. Me and Heero. The dynamic duo. What was there to tell? After high school I had went to the local college like my older sister, living at home and working with my uncle at a junk yard. I got my degree in bioengineering. Heero went off to Stanford with Wufei to also become a lawyer.
He and I lost touch for a while. Only sending the occasional emails to each other. I had honestly heard more about him through Wu than anything that he had ever told me. Which hurt and aggravated me to no end.
I started dating other people two years after our break up. There was one guy who I had thought things were going to be serious with, but it didn't work out. Which was a shame, but I guess it was just the way things were meant to be.
When Heero decided to come back home, following Wufei's lead, things were rocky between us. We had a few altercations, and at one point our arguments had gotten so fierce that I threw a plate at the poor guy.
But, once things were talked out and smoothed over, we realized how well we worked. Despite all the years apart, and how different we were after so long. We were still those two kids that had tried our damndest to get together. It had been four years and we were still staying strong.
"Alright, it's time," Quatre's chipper voice said, he stood up and fixed Trowa's frazzled tie.
Wufei smoothed his hair and accepted the mint that the blond in the room offered him.
It's funny, because being at Wu's wedding like this, it reminded me of what the bride-to-be had gushed about back when we were in high school. That eventually all of us would be related to one another somehow. It made me smile with how she called it so well back then, even if it was her idealist talk. It was almost a conspiracy with how her plans always went accordingly.
We walked out of the room in single file to walk down the aisle.
Heero was across the hallway, watching my nephew play with the pillow that held the false rings. I had the real rings in my breast pocket.
"See you at the altar," I winked at him cheekily.
His smile lit up his face and made my heart pinch.
I loved him.

MLL: I had lost the original of this chapter and had to write this all from scratch. I hope that it was okay. I had originally come up with this storyline in the beginning of my senior year of high school and walking the track in PE. There were so many ups and downs in the beginning of this fic. And for a long time I had debated on just trashing it altogether. I'm glad that I had eventually worked it out. And now, after 5 years of it being online, I'm happy that I did a revamp. I hope that you guys loved just as much as I did. Thank you for your support.
