Epilogue

One Year Later

"H-harder- Marik- harder, please!"

"Ah."

"Oh gods, I'm- yes- I'm-"

"Ah- Bakura-"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Ohhh."

"Hmm, Marik."

"Good?"

"Amazing."

"Come here."

"Mm."

Marik awoke still entangled with Bakura. He shifted, and Bakura opened his eyes.

"Hi," Marik said quietly, a hand coming up to brush Bakura's hair back from his face.

Bakura smiled at Marik, looking at him with half-lidded eyes. "Hi."

Marik pulled Bakura closer and gave him a soft, lingering kiss, and Bakura leaned into him. Bakura squirmed a little, still deliciously sore from the previous night, and Marik pressed him closer.

They were so caught up in each other that it took a whole minute before they noticed a bleary-eyed Ryou leaning against the frame of their bedroom doorway.

"Do you guys have any idea how thin the walls in this place are?" Ryou asked, rubbing his eyes and stifling a yawn. "I'd think you'd keep it down a little when you have a house guest."

Marik and Bakura glanced at each other, identical blushes spreading across their cheeks.

Ryou smiled at them. "Don't worry about it, I'm just teasing you," he said. "So, what do you want to do today?"

"I thought we might go to that new vegetarian restaurant that just opened up," Marik said.

"What?" Bakura said, sitting up suddenly. "Hell no, I'm not going there."

"Don't be a jerk, Bakura," Marik said, sitting up as well and crossing his arms over his chest. "We never go to any decent restaurants, and for once we have a guest, someone who can actually appreciate good food-"

"Oh, fuck you! You're not dragging me to that place!"

"Gods, why do you always have to be such an asshole? You're so-"

Ryou smiled and rolled his eyes. "I swear, you two never change."

Tae: So it bears saying again: thank you to everyone for reading this! It's been an adventure and a half coming up with the plot, co-writing with Chaos, and especially getting your wonderful feedback. Lastly, just wanted to remind everyone that I've done fanart for this story, the link to which can be found on both my and Chaos's profile pages. So take a look at that as well! We're also posting the fanart on Tumblr if you'd like to see it there and reblog/like. (Our usernames are Taemanaku and ChaosRocket on Tumblr).

Both: Thanks again!
