This is the final chapter of "The End of Our Time Together". I'm sorry that it took me so long to finish this; I could not find a way to write this chapter in a way to make it enjoyable for you. That and I kept on getting ideas for other stories, (like my newest story, "I Won't Stop 'Till I Succeed" (a Harry Potter FanFiction))

So here it is the final chapter!

Hibari's POV (Still at the hospital)

The doctor left the room nearly an hour ago, but my tears are still falling.

Flashback

"You have one month left on this Earth." My heart seems to stop when this leaves his mouth. I have a hard time believing it at first, but when I look at the doctor's face, I know that it's true, no matter how much I want to believe it's not.

I turn to Mukuro, who has closed his eyes tightly. A single tear slips out of his eye and falls down his cheek, just a single tear. No more, no less. The doctor excuses himself, and I can no longer hold myself back. I jump onto Mukuro's bed and bury my face in his chest, crying, sobbing, screaming… It's too much to handle, for both me and for Mukuro. He raises his arms and wraps them around me, pulling me close, trying to comfort me.

But I can tell that it's too much for even him to handle. I pull away and look into his eyes, which are now open, staring back at me.

"I'm so sorry, Kyoya. I'm so sorry." He whispers to me, tears now falling freely down his face. I raise my hand to his face, using my thumb to wipe his tears from his face.

"Don't be, Mukuro. This is not your fault. It isn't. You couldn't have known." I whisper back.

"I don't want to leave, Kyoya."

"I don't want you to. I love you, Mukuro." I place my head below his chin, giving him a place to rest it. Mukuro runs his hand through my hair.

"I love you to Kyoya. Always have, always will. Nothing will ever change that.

End Flashback

Mukuro is now sleeping, resting his head on my chest. My tears fall silently, gently falling off my chin and onto his head. My fingers are combing through his hair, just as his did to mine just an hour ago. My left hand is wrapped around his body, resting on his chest. He moves a little, and suddenly I feel a cold object wrap itself around my fourth finger. I lift my hand and on my finger, is a thin silver band with gold intertwining through the center. My eyes widen. Is… Is this?

Mukuro shifts again and is suddenly sitting next to me.

"Kyoya? Can I ask you something?" Still a little surprised by the new addition to my hand, all I can do is nod. "Good, okay… Kyoya, will you marry me?" I shift my gaze, from my hand to Mukuro. He's looking back at me, hope filling his eyes. I know in my heart that he needs this.. And when I look deeper, I realize I need it too.

A small smile spreads across my lips, and I watch as one appears on his face too.

"Of course I will Mukuro! I would love to!" I pull his face to me and kiss him full on the lips. He responds immediately and pulls me closer.

We break away after a few moments and look lovingly into each others eyes.

"I'm so happy Kyoya. You have no idea."

"I'm pretty sure I do. Because I'm just as happy." We lay down on the small bed. He wraps his arms around my body and pulls me against his chest. I take a deep breath, inhaling his scent. I rest my head on his chest, the sound of his heartbeat lulling me to sleep.

Mukuro's POV (Continuing)

My heart is filled with warmth. I'm so happy that Kyoya said yes. I know he knows that we won't have an actual wedding. Just our commitment to each other tonight.

Kyoya's breath evens out, telling me that he's asleep, his body unconsciously scoots closer to mine.

"Goodnight, my beautiful, beautiful Kyoya."

And with that, I fall into a blissful sleep, dreams full of Kyoya and his smiling face.

In the morning, I awake to Kyoya looking straight at me. His eyes full of warmth. "Hello beautiful." I whisper, a small blush spreading over his cheeks and nose.

"G-Good morning, Mukuro." Kyoya says, turning to hide his face from me. I place my hand on his cheek, round it to the back of his head and pull him to me. Our lips me in a soft, chaste kiss. The blush grows on Kyoya's cheeks as he pulls away.

The ring that I placed on Kyoya's finger the night before is still it the same spot.

Kyoya follows my gaze to his finger. He lifts his hand in between our faces giving both of us a perfect view of the ring. "What do you think Kyoya?"

"I love it. It's beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it. I picked it out a week ago. I wanted to ask you two nights ago, but it didn't work out that way."

"I'm just glad you did. I'm so happy Mukuro." Kyoya looks at me from between his fingers and smiles. I lift my hand and lace my fingers with his; I pull our hands to my lips and kiss each individual finger.

"I love you Kyoya."

"I love you too. Always."

2 Months Later (Hibari's POV)

It's been one month since Mukuro died. It was hard to adjust at first. I kept waking up and expecting him to be on the other side of the bed. Or be in the shower and think I felt his arms wrap around me, like they had so many times before. Sometimes I cry; I lay in bed at night and remember how he won't be joining me anymore. But most of the time I remember that he would want me to be stronger than this.

I finish my shower and step into my room. My suit is hanging on the door and a ring, similar to the one still on my finger is on the dresser next to it. Inside the band are the words STILL LOVE YOU, EVEN IN DEATH. Similar to the words engraved in my ring, MY LOVE WILL LAST PAST DEATH. I put on my suit and run a towel through my hair. I grab the ring on the dresser and place it in my pocket. I lace my shoes and leave my, no our, apartment. I make my way to the cemetery where the rest of the Vongola Family were already gathered.

"Hello Hibari-san." Sawada Tsunayoshi greets me. The day after Mukuro's death I announced to the Vongola our relationship. No one judged me, or Mukuro, They gave their respects and told me how sorry they were. I didn't care about them, that day I went to the same store where Mukuro bought my ring, and bought one for him.

I see a single black coffin laying on the ground. I walk to it and open it. Inside, Mukuro lays still and peaceful. He looks just like he's sleeping. I reach in and grab his left hand and pull the ring out of my pocket. I gently slide it onto his fourth finger, and let a few tears fall out of my eyes as I look at his face for the last time. I gently close the lid of the coffin just as the rest of the Vongola reach me. We gently lift the coffin and place it in the whole dug in the ground. The rest of the Vongola bury it, and I stand to the side and stare at the headstone. I allow myself to break down, falling to my knees, it will be the only time I let myself to show emotion like this in front of others.

The Vongola slowly leave the cemetery. Patting my back as they go, Chrome is the only one to kneel in front of me and pull me into a small hug. I allow it because I know she was important to Mukuro. She finally leaves and I slowly make my way to the headstone. I lift my hand up and run my fingers over the engraving.

Beloved Friend, Brother and Husband

He Will Forever Be In Our Hearts

I want to thank you all for your support through this. I'm sorry how I didn't keep my promise on how often I will update, so I probably wont make promises like that again. (I learned my lesson). I hope that you will continue to support me and others that have to live with or know people who will suffer from cancer or any other disease.

Thank you all so much and I hope you read my other stories and support those as well
