Well, here it is! It's not even a thousand words, it's so short omg...

I just didn't feel like it needed anything else though. I think just about everything is wrapped up at this point.

I apologize once more for not updating this fanfic in over a year (omg), I completely didn't mean to! It's finished now, finally, as it should have been a year ago.

Epilogue: All's well that ends well

Little Guy's POV

Yes. Just. Yes.

I didn't know what I had done to deserve this, but yes.

Naomi clicked her tongue impatiently, and I chuckled, out of words. I shrugged.

"Was there any reason you thought I'd say no?" I ask, and my voice sounds as though I'm choking. Maybe I am, and I wouldn't notice with how much happiness is making my heart swell inside of my chest. She looks aside, a soft blush adorning her cheeks.

"I try to avoid assuming things anymore, at this point."

"Fair enough." I admit, lacing my fingers with hers. She allows it, and we keep walking down the street.

It's the first day of summer. It's been a little more than a year since that case which finally made her put her feelings in order, and we've been together since then. She's still adorably shy about everything, but I'm allowed to tease her about it without having her shooting me killing glares every single time.

Her fingers twitch slightly as we approach Alyssa's school, but she doesn't pull her hand away like she used to, and I don't mention it. It's Alyssa who notices first with a knowing smirk, but it's Naomi who drops the bomb on her.

"Hello, Alyssa. How was your last day of classes?"

"It was great! Are we going home now? I wanna play something together!" Naomi smiles.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great way to start the holidays, doesn't it?"

"It is" she affirms, confidently "Is Little Guy staying for lunch?"

"Yes he is" Naomi is still slightly red in the face, but her voice doesn't falter when she adds "Actually, Navel will be moving in with us soon."

"Wait, for real?!"

"Yes. I asked him before, and he said yes" Alyssa starts jumping up and down.

"Great!"

"Yes, it's..."

Someone grabs Alyssa's attention then. She smiles widely at a boy apparently her age whose parents don't seem to be around yet, and he waves back shyly.

"Hey Lyss" Lyss? Naomi and I cross a curious glance, but Alyssa doesn't seem to mind, she pulls on his hand to get him closer. "This your parents?" she tilts her head, and then shrugs.

"Guess so" I feel my cheeks coloring as well as Naomi's, but we don't correct her. Why would we? While not biologically, Naomi is indeed her mother, according to law, and since I'm now her boyfriend, does that make me her dad? We've never considered it. Alyssa doesn't even call Naomi 'mom'... "You know" she brushes it off, and he nods knowingly.

"I know."

"Richard knows about what happened to my parents" she tells us "He's on my class, we play football together" Naomi nods, and I do too "Richard, this is Naomi and this is Navel. We all call him Little Guy, or we used to. It's more like an old nickname now." Richard smiles, and nods.

"You've mentioned him before. Like a lot of times. Them both, really" she rolls her eyes

"I know, but I still wanted to introduce them, alright?" he shrugs.

"So you headed home now?" she nods again.

"Will you be staying around this summer?" he nods as well, and she grins "We should totally hang out to play some football some day, then" he blushes softly, and I empathize with the kid. Naomi grins when I catch her eye, and so do I.

"Sure. Sounds great."

"We could all play!" she looks at Naomi and I hopefully, and while Naomi shrugs noncommittaly, I nod.

"Sure, count me in" the kids grin, and then someone calls for him.

"Richard?" he looks around.

"Here!" he looks at us sheepishly "Gotta go"

"Sure" Alyssa hugs him, and he kisses her cheek shyly. She doesn't seem to mind "I'll see you around"

"Of course. Bye!"

He all but runs around, and Alyssa turns to us with a smirk.

"He's cute." she says in a confidential voice.

"I see." answers Naomi, a little confused with the whole scene. I chuckle.

"He seems like a nice kid" she nods, pulling on our hands so we start walking home.

"He is. And he's really smart, too! He helps me with Maths, and I help him with English homework." Naomi nods, suddenly.

"Ah, he's that kid. You've mentioned him before." Alyssa smiles.

"I really like him" she says confidently, with a quiet giggle.

"We could tell" I tease her, and she slaps my hand softly.

"Well, I could also tell you and Naomi liked each other for like years, and it still took you a hell of a long time to get together!" I laugh, and Naomi can only roll her eyes before scolding her absentmindedly.

"Language, Alyssa..."

As we got home, Alyssa ran for the bathroom, humming a tune under her breath, and Naomi followed her shortly. I took of my jacket, and placed it in the coat rack, wondering. I came over pretty often by now, I knew the place around. This was going to be my place from now on, huh...?

"Little Guy, don't you dare getting emotional just yet" a voice scolded me, and I looked around to find Naomi staring at me unamusedly "Help me set lunch, come on" she added, pulling on my tie so I had no other choice but to follow her to the kitchen.

I couldn't help but smile as she let go and I could finally wash my hands on the sink. Damn this woman and her fascination with my tie... She looked at me through the corner of her eye, and she could probably tell what I was about to tell her, but she didn't stop me this time. Drying my hands on a cloth and setting it aside, I wrapped my arms around her and placed my chin on her shoulder. She sighed.

"I love you, Naomi."

"I love you too, you dork..."
