Chapter 26: Epilogue

10 years later

"I'm home." Yami called out when he walked into his and Yugi's home, though he could hardly say that he was surprised to hear the sounds to two sets of feet racing down the stairs.

"Daddy Yami." Two sets of voices yelled.

Yami chuckled before he knelt down and wrapped his arms around the two blue haired boys he and Yugi had adopted, with help from Kaiba, 8 years ago. Zane and Syrus Truesdale were brothers who had been placed in the local orphanage when their parents had been killed.

Yugi and Yami had been talking about wanting a family of their own so the two had been looking into adoption and when they'd met the boys they just fell in love with them and adopted the two boys. Though ironically enough many times people forgot that Zane and Syrus weren't his and Yugi's biologically since they had figured they had found a surrogate mother and that Zane was actually Yami's and Syrus was Yugi's since Zane many people said had Yami's eyes and sharper features…whereas Syrus looked almost exactly like Yugi except he had blue hair.

"Were you two boys good for Yugi today?" Yami asked, looking more at Syrus than Zane since of the two of them Syrus was a lot more prone to getting into to trouble.

"Yeah, we were good today." Syrus said, avoiding Yami's gaze slightly and Zane was oddly silent.

"Of course you were…if you forget all about the call I got today when I was at work about Zane getting into a fight and lets not forget about how Syrus skipped school today with his friend Jaden only to be found hanging out at the local arcade." Yugi said as he walked into the living room, wiping his hands on a dishtowel.

Yami gazed at both boys before he shook his head.

"I told both of them that they've been grounded but I said that we'd tell them when after you and I had talked about it Yami." Yugi said.

Yami nodded before he refocused his attention back on Syrus and Zane, go back upstairs and Yugi and I will come up later to tell you what we've decided. Both boys nodded before they raced back up the stairs.

Yami straightened up before he wrapped his arms around Yugi and giving him a kiss. "I missed you today Little One." Yami said.

Yugi chuckled, "Yami, you say that everyday."

"And I mean it everyday." Yami said quite seriously.

"I know, now what are we going to do about Syrus and Zane? This is twice Zane has gotten into a fight with that Aster kid and I've lost count of how many times we've yelled at Syrus about letting Jaden get him into trouble." Yugi said.

Yami sighed, "Don't worry Yugi, we'll think of something. Though in Syrus's case I think it's a case of puppy love."

"Puppy love? You think Syrus has a crush on Jaden and that's why he lets Jaden get him into trouble all the time?" Yugi asked.

Yami nodded, "I do but don't worry I'll talk to him about this and I agree with you about grounding them. Zane I would say we ground for the next month and he also has to work with you every weekend unpaid." Yami suggested.

Yugi smiled, "I agree besides I could use the work. But what are we going to do about Syrus. He's been grounded more times than I can count and it doesn't seem to do anything."

"Don't worry Yugi. I promise I'll take care of it." Yami said then he frowned slightly, "However this certainly puts a damper on my plans for tonight."

Yugi chuckled, "Yami, Yami, Yami…don't worry about it you'll live." Yugi said.

"But Yugi, I had planned for you and I to go out tonight since it's our 10 year anniversary but now that's been thrown out the window since we can't leave and let two teenagers sneak out and get into Ra only knows how much trouble." Yami said.

"Don't worry Yami, we can still go out. Just before we leave I'll call Joey and ask him to check in on the boys periodically." Yugi said.

Yami smiled but shook his head, "No, Joey just got married and they do have a new baby I don't want to inconvenience him, so what you say to plan B?"

"And what's plan B?" Yugi asked with a smile, for some reason he always loved it when Yami came up with a last minute 'plan B'.

"A candle lit dinner at home of either pizza or Chinese takeout and then sit down and watch that movie you've been wanting to watch that we rented last night but haven't had the chance to." Yami suggested.

Yugi smiled brightly before he leaned up and gave Yami a kiss. "I love the way you think."

So, Yami and Yugi ordered pizza in and had a romantic dinner for two in their own dining room. It wasn't anything really special but so long as it was the two of them together they were happy.

After the two had finished dinner they went and relaxed together on the couch after Yami had put in the DVD. "Can you really believe we've made it 10 years Yami?" Yugi asked out of the blue.

Yami chuckled, "Of course I can. I knew we would still be together now and that we'll still be together 30 years from now and do you know why Yugi?"

"No, how can you be so sure that we'll still be together in 30 years?"

"Because, not only do we love each other…very much but also look at everything that we went had to deal with while we were together, if we weren't meant to be together Yugi we would have gone our separate ways long before we even got married." Yami said.

Yugi smiled before he leaned up and gave Yami a kiss, which Yami happily returned.

"Get a room you two." Yelled two voices from the bottom of the stairs.

Yami smirked, "We don't need a room we have a house. Besides you two are supposed to be upstairs in your rooms." Yami said.

Syrus and Zane both held up their plates which Yami and Yugi had given them to eat their dinner on up in their rooms.

Yugi shook his head, "You know you could have very easily just put your plates in the kitchen and gone back upstairs without bothering the two of us." Yugi said.

Zane smirked, "We know that but it doesn't change the fact that its fun to pick on you two." Zane said.

Yami glared lightly at the two and said, "Well, get back upstairs before I decide to increase the amount of time your grounded for. And since the two of you want to go to the Duel Monsters Academy thing in the fall you two had better behave because if you don't I'll call Kaiba right now and have you two dropped from the list."

Both boys paled before they quickly ran back upstairs.

Yugi and Yami both chuckled once the boys were out of sight. Yes, life was good. Very good and neither of them could have asked for anything better they had each other, a roof over their head, two loving boys who they considered family, secure jobs, plenty of food to eat. Oh yes they were happy. And even though things had been hard for them all those years ago, and even though people would still give them a hard time about being gay every now and then they didn't care because they loved each other.

And to them, that was all that matter.

The End.

A/N: And that is the end of Shh, it's a secret. Thank you everyone who reviewed this story all along, as well as added it to either favorites or alerts. Please, review one last time since I want to know what you think about how this one wrapped up…and who knows I might even do a sequel to this one. Though it would deal a bit with Syrus and Zane but more so focus on Yugi and Yami as parents and a bit on their careers and all in all their life as adults…besides, there is still the whole mess with Anzu that I never officially tied up.
