I had a number of comments suggesting that I write another chapter for this, so I decided that I'd write an epilogue. I must admit that this was far too much fun to write, so I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to those who left me reviews, both on here and on lj. X3

-Epilogue-

"Hey, you."

Wolf glanced down towards the bed he was seated on upon hearing the voice. He gave a little smirk, tilting his head. "Hey."

Fox had his legs curled up towards him, arms clutching one of the extra pillows. "S'it morning already?"

"Well, considering the clock just passed ten o'clock five minutes ago, I would say yes." Wolf idly scratched beneath his chin.

Fox's face scrunched up before he made a big show of rolling away from the older canine. "But I'm still tiiiiired…"

At this, Wolf merely sighed, rolling his eyes. "Fox, you can be so lazy sometimes…" He made a small grunt as he hoisted himself towards the vulpine in an attempt to roll him back the other way. Fox, however, took this opportunity to grab Wolf's shoulders and pull him onto the bed, the other responding with a startled yelp.

Wolf immediately took notice of how close their faces were.

"Can't you just give me five more minutes?"

"I don't think I could refuse even if I wanted to."

Fox smirked, raising an eyebrow. "It appears I have the upper-hand again."

Wolf instantly blushed, looking away, which only caused Fox's smirk to grow larger. He reached in to lick across the bridge of the lupine's nose. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed."

Wolf responded in kind, which soon brought them together in a soft kiss.

Upon finishing, both canines laid back down on the pillows, looking up at the ceiling. Fox continued to clutch the one extra pillow to his chest.

After a few minutes, Wolf finally spoke up. "Fox… how did this happen?"

Fox turned his eyes towards his companion, softly chewing on his bottom lip.

"I mean… seriously… we friggin' hate each other."

Both of them were silent for a few moments before Fox spoke up a bit timidly. "I don't hate you…"

Wolf inwardly cursed. "I… I mean, I don't hate you either, it's just… we've never gotten along – how about that?"

Fox idly rubbed his chin. "I guess that's true…"

"And… and I mean, sure I've been questioning how I've felt about you for a while, so it's just been kinda weird, but-"

"Aww, so you were confused?" Fox rolled towards him, letting his body shift closer. "That's so cute."

Wolf became a bit flustered. "W-well, yeah… I mean…"

"I felt the same way!" Fox stretched his arm out above him before draping it around the other's shoulder, nuzzling into his neck.

The older canine sighed a bit in exasperation. "Fox, I'm trying to have a serious conversation."

Fox popped his head up. "Me too. I'm very serious."

Wolf couldn't help but smirk, letting one of his fangs poke out underneath his top lip. "You know, when you act like this, I wonder how I ever let myself get topped by you." He pushed himself up with his elbow until he was straddling the vulpine.

This caused Fox to laugh from beneath him. "Oh, I think it's pretty obvious. Under that tough exterior, you're just a big pushover." He started pushing himself to a sitting position, taking Wolf with him. "Totally…" He pointed one finger into Wolf's chest. "…willing…" He began pushing him backwards into the bed. "…to do whatever I tell you to do." Their positions were now switched, Fox grinning down at him with his eyebrows raised.

Wolf chuckled. "I suppose you've got a bit of a point."

"You know you liiiiike it." Fox leaned down to kiss him again.

Once the kiss was broken, Wolf brought his hands up behind his head, using them as a pillow. "Well, most of it at least."

Fox cocked his head in confusion.

"I'm not too fond of the sore ass."

Fox laughed before reaching behind himself to grab a pillow, playfully bashing Wolf's head with it. "You're such a wuss."

"Oh, I am, huh? This coming from Mr. I'm-too-lazy-to-get-out-of-bed-this-morning." He batted back the pillow.

"Oh, shush, you." After one final whump, Fox let himself fall onto the bed next to Wolf, gazing up at the ceiling. Wolf instinctively rolled towards him, stretching his arm across while he snuggled his head against the vulpine's chest.

They lay there contentedly for a few more minutes, Fox watching the dance of the shadows cast from the curtains and Wolf simply smiling, his eyes closed.

Finally, Fox spoke up. "I'm kinda hungry…"

Wolf murmured against him. "Should we go get breakfast?"

"Sure…"

Though neither one moved.

It was another three minutes before Fox spoke up again. "…how did we get on the wrong side of the bed?"

Falco was humming happily to himself while he stirred sugar into his coffee. Behind him at the table, Peach, Ganondorf, Lucario and Ness were fairly intent on their own breakfasts, Ganondorf also perusing a section of the newspaper.

Once he felt his coffee was just right, Falco hummed right over to the table, scooting a chair back so he could flop down.

Peach looked up from her eggs, chewing slowly. "You seem awfully chipper this morning, Falco."

"Indeed, especially coming from someone with a tendency to be rather irate anytime before noon." Lucario had just finished up his own plate.

Falco stretched his arms back behind his head, smirking nonchalantly. "I just feel good this morning, is all."

Ganondorf chuckled softly from behind his newspaper before lowering it slightly, gazing over the top. "Methinks the bird got a bit lucky last night, hmm?"

This caused Falco to blush, but he quickly tried to shake it off. "I… I don't know what you're talking about."

Ganondorf's grin widened. "Little Nessie here tells me he saw something rather interesting this morning."

At this, both Falco and Ness's faces turned beet red, the former giving an abrupt cough while the latter refused to look up from his plate of pancakes.

"I was… helping a friend, is all…" Falco took a long sip from his coffee.

"Oh, really…nothing at all in it for you, eh?"

Memories of the night before came back into Falco's head, increasing the discomfort he was already feeling. Ok, so yeah, he'd enjoyed it. Fox may have been his friend, but he was also pretty damn fine. He could have left, let the two canines do their thing, felt good about the job he'd done, but that obviously hadn't happened.

His coffee was practically gone now, making himself feel even warmer given that he'd drunk it quite a bit too fast.

"No hidden, restrained feelings at all…?"

Falco sputtered, almost spitting out the coffee still in his mouth. Finally, he brought the mug down hard on the table, standing up. "I do not have a thing for Fox, ok?!" Still red in the face, he marched quickly out of the room.

The four at the table didn't say anything for a moment. Didn't even move, actually. Ganondorf was the first, raising his paper back up so he could continue reading it.

Peach, however, was the first to break the silence. "So… do you think…?"

"I have a guess, but we won't know for sure until the other two members decide to join us."

Lucario furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait… how will that…" He trailed off for a second before his eyes opened wide in recognition. "Ohhh. I see."

The table became silent once more, the only sound being the clink of Peach's fork against her plate and the shuffling of Ganondorf's newspaper. Ness was no longer eating his pancakes, simply pushing them around on his plate.

After about five minutes, the sound of footsteps resounded from the hallway, and soon the two canines in question came walking into the kitchen. Fox was idly scratching the top of his head, and Wolf was adjusting his vest. Both seemed a bit groggy.

"Hey, all." Fox gave them a tired wave.

There was a murmur of hello's from the table. Unbeknownst to the two newcomers, all eyes were acutely fixated on them.

Fox made his way over to the coffeepot on the counter. He held out the empty pot towards Wolf. "Coffee?"

Wolf shrugged. "Sure, might as well." He stretched his arms over his head, letting out a yawn. "I could use a pick-me-up."

Fox got to work on brewing some more coffee while Wolf idly clasped his hands together, slowly meandering his way towards the table, completely unaware that everyone at said table was staring at him intently.

He glanced down towards the plates already on the table, using his arms for support as he leaned forward. "Ooh, eggs. That sounds good."

"I could make us some, if you want." Fox called from behind his back.

"Long as it's not too much of a hassle."

Fox turned in his coffee-preparation. "Hassle? Hardly. The appliances this place comes equipped with make breakfast-cooking easier than taking a dump."

Wolf smirked. "Long as it doesn't taste the same."

He chuckled before turning back towards the table, pulling a chair out. The four sitting there collectively held their breath.

Completely oblivious, Wolf sat down on the chair with a plop, giving a small whine as his rear came in contact with the hard wood. He had to quickly readjust his position, grimacing.

And that was enough for Ganondorf, who couldn't help but grin as he nodded to himself. "Yep, yep, that's definitely what happened."

Peach laughed, bringing a hand up to cover her mouth. "You are good."

Wolf looked around, confused. "…eh?"

Lucario had now joined in the chuckling, letting himself lean forward on the table. Even Ness was grinning to himself, even though he had no idea what was going on.

"H-hey, what gives? What's so funny?" Wolf looked from one person to the next, his eyebrows furrowed.

Ganondorf waved his hand as if to brush off the comment. "Oh, nothing, nothing. Inside joke."

Wolf grumbled a bit to himself, sliding lower in his chair. Damn inside jokes. Why did it always seem like he was the one left in the dark? Plus, he couldn't help but feel like they were laughing at him.

This was going to take some serious readjustment.
