Ok guys, first of all, to one of my reviewers, I DID PUT IN THE LAST CHAPTER THAT SQUALL'S PARENTS HAD IDENTIFICATION ON THEM! That's what I.D. stands for! So if you did read the last chapter you would have known that instead of hurting my feelings while I was out grocery shopping. And as for Squall's birth certificate, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MINE IS! DX so just use your freaking imagination! I don't know! A fire? Got lost? No one cared enough to look for it? Shit happens to these things!

Epilogue
"Alright, that's the last pizza tonight, guys!" Cloud said as he pushed the order to the front and wiped his hands on his apron. He quickly untied it from around his back, flung it over his shoulder and moved to go clock out.
"Gee Cloud, what's gotten into you? Are you late for something?" Yuffie questioned.
"Heh, don't worry about it Yuff." Cloud rolled his eyes, exiting out to the front.
"Ooh someone's got a date tonight!" She yelled for the entire restaurant to hear.
Cloud just chuckled at the weird looks he was getting from the customers, and some jealous ones from the table of girls.
"Hey," Cloud said as he walked outside and put his jacket on.
"Hey," the brunette smiled at him, "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." He smiled and carefully slipped his hand into Leon's as they made their way toward their destination. It's been three months since Leon remembered his childhood, thanks to Cloud. The snow softly landed on their clothes and skin, leaving a nice tingling feeling with the contrast of their body heat.
"I can't wait to taste your moms cooking."
"Well, she tries her best around the holidays," Cloud huffed and leaned in closer to Leon, sharing their body warmth.
"Last Christmas Eve she almost burned down the house, even though she produced an amazing dinner out of it," he chuckled into Leon's shoulder.
"Well we'll just see how this Christmas Eve dinner turns out," he said gruffly as they made their way up Cloud's mother's driveway.
The door opened before they even had a chance to knock, "Oh Cloud, Squall, it's so lovely to see you. Come in, come in!" She ushered the boys inside the warm house where a fire was lit and a big Christmas tree in the corner.
"Wow, it smells delicious mom" Cloud addressed as he took off is jacket and hung it up on the coat rack, Leon following suit.
"Oh why thank you dear," she chirped, "it's almost done. Make yourselves comfortable boys!"
Cloud turned and smiled at Leon, leading him to the couch to wait until his mother had dinner ready.
Cloud laid down and snuggling his head on the pillows, pulling Leon down on top of him and making the brunette gasp. He had an unsure look in his eyes from how he had his feet on the couch.
Cloud smirked at him, "it's okay Leon, this is my mother remember? She could care less."
Leon slowly let his face ease back into his normal expression as he shared the pillow with Cloud's head, trying to make them both comfortable so he wouldn't crush his partner. Cloud hummed in contentment once they both were settled comfortably, snuggling and spooning on the couch as they waited for the Christmas Eve dinner to pop out of the oven.
"So how was work?" Leon asked Cloud, whose eyes were already closed.
"It sucked, as usual. I missed you." He smiled as he turned his head toward Leon, slowly opening his eyes. Leon scoffed and dug his head further into Cloud's shoulder.
"Five more minutes boys!" Cloud's mother called from the kitchen.
At the sound of that both men's stomachs grumbled, leaving them both laughing.
"I can't believe that you are hungry and you work at a restaurant." Leon chuckled.
Cloud just rolled his eyes, "You get sick of eating the food from where you work after a while." Cloud stated, and that led them both to pause, falling into a silence.
"Hey…Leon?" Cloud looked at him concerned, which automatically put Leon on guard.
"Yeah?"
The younger let a sincere smile cross his face and he grabbed Leon's hand, "Please, don't ever forget me again." He moved his head to where it was resting on Leon's shoulder, "I…I don't think my heart can take it."
Leon let out a big sigh and held Cloud close, "I could never forget you Cloud. I never really did. I just didn't remember, but I never forgot."
A low humming noise resonated from Cloud's chest as he acknowledged his answer. "Thank you." He leaned his body up to kiss the other man and smiled.
"No problem."
"Okay boys! Dinner's ready!"
I am SO glad that this is finally done and overwith! My Lord! This literally took me forever b/c I lost all inspiration for it. *sigh* sorry it sucks but, it is what it is! XD onward to better fanfictions!
