A/N: Well, here it is. The epilogue! But before you all start reading, I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has reviewed/favourited/followed and to anyone who has stuck with this story until the end! Without you guys, this story wouldn't have been here in the first place, so thank you all ever so much! I never expected to get 50 reviews - never mind over 150! So thank you :)

Ryou awoke to the familiar sensation of arms wrapped around his tiny frame, holding him close against a broad, firm chest. He sighed contently and snuggled down against the warmth, smiling when he heard small snores coming from Melvin as he slept. Ryou was just getting comfortable, when the alarm blared out noisily on the bedside table, startling him back into reality. He groaned quietly and planted his forehead into the Egyptians bare chest, not wanting to get up.

He heard a deep chuckle, and knew Melvin was awake, "Comfy, Creampuff?"

Ryou nodded, tilting his head so he could prop his chin up on Melvin's chest instead, allowing him to look into the Egyptian's dark mauve eyes, "I don't want to get up, I'm too tired!" he whined, earning another chuckle.

"Did I tire you out too much last night?" Melvin asked with a wink.

Ryou blushed, "No! It's just, we didn't exactly go to bed early last night…"

"Not my fault you're horny."

Ryou's cheeks darkened, "Oh, shut up you!" he said, playfully hitting Melvin's shoulder. He moved his head so that it rested in the crook of the Egyptians neck and wrapped his arms around the tanned waist, lying down on his boyfriend. "Can we just stay here?"

Melvin's hands rested in the small of Ryou's back, drawing small, gentle circles into the milky flesh, "I'd love to, but we have school, remember?"

Ryou huffed, "When did you get so responsible?"

"When did you become so irresponsible?"

"You must be rubbing off on me," Ryou said with a smile.

Melvin smirked, "Oh yes, I've definitely been doing a lot of rubbing off on you."

Ryou groaned, burying his head in Melvin's chest from embarrassment.

Melvin chuckled again, before sitting upwards, "We really do need to get up though."

Ryou rolled off of his boyfriend and stretched as he yawned, before slipping from under the covers. Melvin watched his boyfriend saunter over to the door, looking up and down his lithe form with hungry eyes until it was covered by a fluffy blue dressing gown.

Ryou turned around and saw the lustful gaze, making him smile. He walked back over to Melvin, pecking him softly on the lips before going to the door again. "I'll start making breakfast whilst you get ready, okay?"

Melvin nodded, and Ryou closed the door. He was about to head downstairs when something occurred to him – he should probably wake Bakura up, too. He changed direction and made his way to his brother's door, knocking rapidly to make sure he was heard. There was some shuffling from the other side of the door, and Ryou wasn't too surprised when Marik answered instead of his brother.

"Good morning Marik!" Ryou chirped with a grin.

Marik only grunted at him in response. He looked exhausted! His hair was pointed in all kinds of crazy directions, his eyes were half lidded and surrounded by dark rings, and his eye liner had smudged down his face – it wasn't a good look.

"Woah Marik, you look tired," Ryou commented with concern.

"Yeah, your wonderful brother kept me awake last night with his snoring," Marik said the last few words louder than the rest of the sentence, earning a growl from deep within the room.

"You don't have to bloody sleep with me you know," Bakura said, appearing in the door way next to Marik, surprisingly fully dressed.

Marik merely rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

Bakura couldn't help but smirk, "Oh wow, Marik, your come backs astound me."

"Oh shut up Bakura! I'm too tired to think," Marik said, wrapping around Bakura's neck and going limp, collapsing against the Brits body, his face buried in his neck. Bakura smiled before wrapping his arms securely around the Egyptians body, holding him firmly against his own.

Ryou watched the display in silence with a smile. He was glad Bakura had finally found someone that made him happy, and the two of them seemed to be perfect for each other. He noticed Bakura giving him an expectant look as he cuddled with Marik, and Ryou remembered that he was actually there for a reason.

"I was about to put the breakfast on, so come down when you're ready."

"I'm ready now, so I'll go down with you," Bakura said, trying to pry Marik off of him. Marik made a mewling noise, tightening his grip on the Brit's shoulders. "Marik, get off."

"No!" Marik cried as he tried to keep his hold on Bakura. "You're comfortable!"

The Brit gave another hard tug and successful managed to tear the Egyptian off of him. Marik pouted as he looked at Bakura, but the white haired male was too busy grimacing at his appearance to notice. "God Marik, you look awful."

Marik scoffed, "Gee, thanks Bakura!"

"No problem," Bakura winked, "now go and make yourself pretty, I'll see you downstairs."

"Fine!" Marik yelled as he stormed past Ryou and into the bathroom.

Ryou watched him leave with a worried expression. "Will he be alright?"

Bakura was staring in the direction Marik had left with a fond, distant look in his eyes and a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He was so distracted, he only vaguely realised his brother was talking.

"'Kura...?"

"Hmmm?" Bakura hummed with the still glazed over look in his eyes.

"Will Marik be alright…?" Ryou said, hoping his brother would actually answer his question.

"Yeah, he'll be fine. He's always irritable in the morning. He gets better as the day goes on," Bakura said, that same fond smile gracing his features as he thought about his Egyptian boyfriend.

Ryou grinned, "Awww! Bakura's in love!" he sang in a childish tone, bringing his brother back to reality.

"I'm not bloody in love," Bakura said, his usual frown in place.

"Yes you are!" Ryou cheered, irritating his brother. "You're so in love with Marik!"

"Bloody hell Ryou, will you shut up?" Bakura growled, walking past his brother and down the stairs.

Ryou followed quickly behind him, "Nope! I can't believe it, my big bad brother Bakura is in love!"

"Oh, frig off would you?" Bakura said in what he hoped was a menacing tone, but it only caused Ryou to burst out laughing. "What? What's so funny?"

"You're even starting to sound like him!" Ryou exclaimed through his peals of laughter.

Bakura said nothing as he walked into the kitchen. He filled the kettle up and flicked it on – he needed a cup of tea.

After the British twins had finished their routine cups of tea, Bakura decided he was in a good enough mood to talk again, "Speaking of relationships, it seems like you had fun last night."

Ryou blushed, looking at his brother in horror, "H-how did you…?"

"Oh, come on now Ryou, you're not exactly quiet. It doesn't take a fool to figure out what you were doing."

Ryou's expression turned into one of complete and utter mortification, almost his whole face turning bright red, "B-Bakura! You can't just talk about stuff like that! I-it's private! I don't talk about what you and Marik do…"

Bakura didn't answer, he just laughed at his brother expense.

"Stop tormenting my boyfriend," a deep voice sounded from the kitchen doorway. The white haired twins turned to see Melvin striding towards Ryou. He planted a kiss on the smaller boy's cheek before settling in one of the kitchen chairs.

"He's my brother, I'll torment him if I want to," Bakura said rather childishly, making Ryou pout.

"But you're making him all sad!" Melvin said as he looked as his boyfriend. He couldn't resist planting a kiss on Ryou's puckered lips, which Ryou eagerly returned.

"I don't want to see that, thanks," Bakura gagged, wrinkling his nose in disgust.

"Sorry 'Kura," Ryou said, giggling.

It didn't take long for Marik to come downstairs, looking his usual self and no longer scruffy.

"I got a text from Ishizu this morning, she wants the four of us to stay for dinner tonight," Marik said as he sat down.

Bakura groaned, "I thought she hated me?"

"She doesn't hate you! She's just… not too fond of you," Marik said, choosing his words carefully. "But do you blame her? After the way you told her we were together, I'm not surprised!"

"She asked, I only answered her question."

"Yes but you didn't have to answer in that much detail!"

Ryou laughed at his brother's annoyed expression, "Marik, Bakura and I would love to come over."

Marik beamed, "Great! I'll text Ishizu after breakfast!"

Ryou smiled back at him, and the four of them tucked into their breakfasts. It didn't take long for them to finish, and Ryou managed to get ready rather quickly. Before they knew it, they were heading out the door and on the way to school.

Ryou couldn't help but think how much his life had changed, and how good it had become. He was no longer lonely, and he was closer to his brother than he had ever been before! Now he got to spend almost every day with the most important people in his life, and he couldn't believe how lucky he was. But really, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. After all, the best things in life are always unexpected.

A/N: I know, it was cheesy, but cheesy is always the best!

So yes, like I said in the beginning, thank you for reading :)

I think I should mention that I've been asked to do a thiefshipping one-shot connected to this fic (which will contain a lemon), so if anyone is interested in reading, keep your eyes pealed :D

If anyone is interested in what I'm going to be working on next, after the one-shot I'll be working on the sequel to What Goes On Behind Closed Doors, and then I have a supernatural thiefshipping chapter story I've been planning for awhile that I cannot wait to start writing! It'll involve super powers, fighting, angst, and thiefshipping goodness, so hopefully I'll see a few familiar faces on that story too...? (yay for self-advertising!)

I hope you've enjoyed the story as much as I've enjoyed writing it!
