So, this is the last installment of A Little Love. I decided on calling it a chapter instead of an epilogue in the end but if enough people tell me to change it then I will. I hope that this final chapter will continue the cute theme to the very end. Read and enjoy!

Chapter Eleven

Marui groaned and swiped at the person who was shaking him awake. He opened one eye to look at the alarm clock and groaned as he pulled a pillow over his face. It was only 9:30.

"Too bloody early." He grumbled before meeping as he was picked up bridal style.

"I know it's early but your family's home and they want to see you." Niou said as he carried Marui to the stairs. Marui struggled and jumped out of Niou's grasp, glaring as he walked down the stairs. Niou just rolled his eyes and followed. When Marui reached the bottom of the stairs he was attacked by two mini red hurricanes.

"Bunta-nii!" Marui rolled his eyes and returned the hugs.

"Hey Taichi, hey Daichi. Did you two have fun at camp?" He asked. The twins nodded enthusiastically.

"Uh huh! It was real fun!" Daichi chirped. "What about you? Niou-san said that the whole team stayed over while you were ill? Is it true? Did you get up to any wild parties? Did ya?" Before Marui could answer, his parents came in.

"Bunta, why is the living room such a mess? You knew we were coming home today so you could've at least made an effort to clean up!" His mother scolded, frowning at the boy. Before the boy could open his mouth, he was once again beaten to the punch, this time by Niou.

"Sorry Marui-san, but Bunta fell ill during the holidays. The team came round to look after him and only left yesterday. Bunta was still feeling tired from his illness so we didn't get round to clearing up." Niou said politely. Marui's mother looked surprised to hear Niou answering, having gone straight to Marui when she entered and thus not seeing the white-haired boy.

"Oh, hello Niou-kun. I didn't see you. If that's the case then I'll let you off, Bunta, but you'd better clean up now. And do it quietly, your father and I are tired from the plane journey and are going to bed." She said commandingly as she walked up the stairs. "Taichi, Daichi, could you please take your bags to your room?" She called back sweetly. The twins nodded, sending Marui sympathetic looks as they grabbed their bags and followed their mother. Niou's polite smile dropped as soon as the woman was gone and he pulled Marui close to him as he frowned.

"Bitch. She didn't even say hello to you." He growled. Marui just smiled and shook his head as he pulled the Trickster into the living room.

"It doesn't matter. At least she didn't go straight to bed without talking to me." Marui said optimistically as he picked up a bundle of blankets and started to walk out of the room. He was stopped by Niou pulling him back.

"You're still too easily pleased." Niou growled before pressing his lips against Marui's. Marui closed his eyes and dropped the blankets as he wound his arms around Niou's neck. They continued kissing until some giggling made them pull away. Marui blushed a bright red when he saw his brothers standing in the doorway.

"We were going to help but it looks like you would prefer it if we left you two alone." Taichi teased.

"We were wondering why Niou-san was calling you Bunta but now we know why." Daichi added as he chuckled. Marui leapt at the two.

"Shut it, you brats!" He shouted as the twins ran out of the room laughing. Niou laughed as he grabbed Marui by the waist and pulled him against his chest, pecking the redhead on the lips when he looked up at Niou. All was right in the world again.

The End


A/N: So it's the end. I have to say it's been fun. I'd have to check this but did you know that every single review for this story contains either the word cute or adorable which is basically the same as cute? Talk about theme. Anyway, thanks for reading it to the end. I hope you enjoyed it and don't worry, I've got a couple of ideas for oneshots that I would like to write. Also, feel free to make requests as long as it's HaruMaru. Thanks again!
