Epilogue :: The Spring A.C. 197 : That Afternoon

Sometime later, the two lay curled up on the couch that had caused such contention that morning. Just laying there and cuddling, complacent in the knowledge that this was the beginning, not the end.

"So, Duo, you won, how does it feel?" Wufei murmured sleepily. His head lay back on the armrest of the sofa, his chest, playing the role of pillow to Duo.

"Oh but I didn't win," Duo replied a large yawn drawing out the last word.

"Then what do you call me being here with you now?"

"Hmm, comfortable."

"'Comfortable'?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Explain yourself."

Duo sighed and snuggled closer to Wufei. "'Fei-sweetheart, the whole point of wooing is to lose . . ."

"Then how did I win?" Wufei demanded.

"'Fei, you insult me. Now you're implying that I'm worthless . . ."

"You're the best, Duo . . ."

"I love it when you say my name . . ."

"Get to the point."

"You would suck so bad as a storyteller, y'know that?

"Duo . . ."

"How are you going to tell our grand-kids about Mulan and all them chic heroines of Chinese culture if you can't draw out a tale . . .?"

"Duo!"

"Alright already," Duo snapped. "Haven't you ever heard the saying that 'If you love it let it go, and if it were truly meant to be, it will come back to you'? Or something like that?"

"Yeah, so?"

"For a scholar you are amazingly dense, 'Fei."

"I'm going to let that one slide, Duo."

"Oh that's great, I cower with terror. But, anyway, like I was saying. That is one of the biggest principles of Wooing. Impressing upon the wooed that they cannot do without the wooer."

"What kind of insane logic is that?" Wufei demanded.

"Logic that works," Duo retorted. "In order to win you, I had to lose."

"So I was played? You would not have left if I had not come for you?"

"Oh no, 'Fei, I'd be long gone by now. In the end, it was your decision on whether you'd love me back or not. It always was. I was merely helping in the persuasion."

"So, thoughts of us sitting on a porch in a creaky old bench swing suffering from osteoporosis and a Viagra overdose, was suppose to convince me?"

"Hey, 'Fei, I never thought of that one. Been doing some dreaming yourself huh, tell me more, c'mon, c'mon, c' . . ."

And Duo Maxwell was at a loss of words for once as Chang Wufei gently grabbed his braid and tugged their faces together to place a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I love you," Chang Wufei stated.

Duo Maxwell could only smile.
