Epilogue

Two months later and Yao found himself the happiest he had ever been.

He and Ivan were sharing the same bed, and were having sex without being coerced. He found himself in love with the Russian man.

Alfred had proposed to Arthur, the British man eagerly accepting even before the ring box was opened; the due were to be married next month.

Kiku and Heracles had just been married, Yao being reintroduced to his homeland and bonding even farther with his brother. Mr. Wang accepted both of them freely now, his two sons so much like their mother, his beloved wife.

In Russia Tino had told Berwald of his feelings and the two were steadily dating, staring into each others eyes so much that dinner was burned more than not.

Yao had met the rest of Ivan's siblings and somehow managed to get along with them better than he ever got along with Natalia. She still hated him and resented the fact that he was married to her older half-brother…

"Hurry up Tino!" Yao shouted from the hallway, patting down his hair as he looked at himself in a mirror.

The blonde chef hurried out of the kitchen, "calm down, would you? It's not like they're already here or something!"

Yao took a deep breath to soothe himself, "I know, but this is the first time my parent's and friends have ever come over to Russia to see the manor."

Tino's amethyst eyes softened, "well, I'm sure they're just here to see you Yao."

The Asian man bit his lip, "maybe…where is Ivan? And Berwald!"

"Here," two voices rang out, both accented differently, from the stairs.

Yao looked to see that both tall men were dressed in nice outfits, Ivan in a suit and Berwald in a blue uniform.

Yao put his hands on his hips, "what took you two so long?"

Ivan shrugged, grinning sheepishly, "I was getting dressed, and Berwald was checking on the animals. Don't be so worried, da?"

The shorter man rolled his eyes, about to say something but stopped when the doorbell rang; he hurried over to the door and opened it, letting a whole flock of people in.

"Yao! Great to see you dude!" Alfred yelled as he stormed in.

"Yao, love, I brought a chocolate cake, don't worry, I didn't make it, Alfred did, I just helped decorate it." Arthur said, looking a bit annoyed at his fiancée.

"Yao, you look thin, and where's Ivan?" His father was pushing in, looking around.

"YAO! Where are you?" Kiku was trying to get through, finally making it with Heracles behind him; he quickly grabbed hold of his brother, hugging him.

Yao smiled at all of them, "hello everyone, welcome to Braginsky manor, welcome to my new home…"

And then, the door closed behind them all, allowing for the icy air to warm back up, just like Yao's heart…
