Epilogue

Sho looked at the clock on the wall. He still had thirty minutes until his lover came back home and he wanted everything to be perfect. Today, it was their sixth anniversary. He still found it hard to believe that he had been so lucky to have met this incredible man. His eyes fell on the painting on his fridge. Many things had changed but that would always stay there. It was a reminder of how life had brought them together or, as Masaki would say, it was the proof that they were destined to be together.

It wasn’t that they had never fought. On the contrary, they had many times; no one was willing to declare defeat too easily but then they’d come closer in the end. Sho knew that he had fallen for the right person; someone who kept the child in him alive despite his age. He could see it when Masaki had feared what the other students would think of him in his first academic year or when he’d get overly jealous of some students who would give chocolate to Sho on Valentine’s Day or when he’d fight with Nino with no real reason. He could also see it was when Masaki would smile. That smile was what made him even more beautiful in Sho’s eyes.

Sho was lost in his thoughts when he felt hands wrapping around his waist and a hot breath hitting on his nape before two soft lips touched it feather-like.

“What were you thinking?”

Sho smiled, letting his hands caress the ones that were holding him tightly. “You… and how happy I am…”

Masaki went to stand in front of him. His cheeks were flushed and his uneven breathing betrayed that he had hurried to come back home, making Sho’s heart flutter.

“You were running again?”

“I saw the bus and ran!” Masaki leaned closer his lips ghosting on Sho’s jawline. “I wanted to come back to you, Sho!” he whispered in a husky voice that sent shivers down Sho’s spine.

“I have prepared special dinner…”

Masaki giggled. “You prepared dinner or Jun? I will ask him tomorrow! Remember we are invited for dinner!” he looked at the other with his right eyebrow raised. “And if I remember correctly you’re capable of making rice and by that I mean press only one button!”

“Ok… It was Jun who made the dishes but it was me the one who prepared the table and chose the wine… I asked for the best… because it’s only the best that you deserve!”

Masaki pecked Sho’s nose. “Still cheesy…”

“Always…”

***

Masaki was pulled in Sho’s arms still hot and sweaty, their fingers intertwined.

“That was intense…” he whispered slightly tired.

“You know it’s not my fault. You make me insatiable…” Sho’s voice was tender full of love.

“I love you, Sho…”

“I love you, too…”

Masaki frowned when he heard his phone ringing. “Who would that be at this hour?!” He stood up from the bed sighing. “If it is who I think it is he’s so dead! I can’t even have one personal moment with my lover…” Masaki’s voice was fading away as he headed to the living room.

Sho looked at him and his smile turned wider. Nino would be the only person over whom Masaki would complain but knew that it was probably because he loved him this much.

“I knew it!” Masaki came back showing his phone screen to Sho before pressing the answer button. “WHAT?”

“You should come here right now! You are the big brother!” Nino at the other end of the line was sounding angry.

Sho and Masaki looked at each other trying to hold their laughs.

“What did Yusuke do again?”

“I can’t say it on the phone! Hurry up and come!”

“But-” Masaki started to say when all he could hear was beeps. “He hung up on me!”

“You know Nino…” Sho told him sounding amused.

“What could have happened?!” Masaki asked as he wiped them hurriedly with a clean towel.

“I’m sure it’s just him overreacting… as usually…”

“I can’t believe hormones can go this crazy from the late thirties!” Masaki muttered under his breath.

“I’m sure this has nothing to do with his age. This is him being an overprotected father…”

“But Yusuke is an angel!”

Sho pecked Masaki’s forehead. “He is… but remember that even angels are allowed to have tantrums in their teens!”

“But this was supposed to be our night…”

“It’s still ten…” Sho whispered in his lover’s ear. “We have the whole night in front of us…”

“You promise?”

“Have I ever lied to you?”

Masaki stared at Sho. “No, you haven’t…”

Sho opened the door of their apartment. “The sooner we arrive there, the sooner we come back!”

“You’re right! Hurry up!” Masaki said and almost ran to the elevator.

Sho shook his head amused. Masaki indeed had the kid still inside of him. But what was more interesting was that he had found out aspects that till they had met remained suppressed; his eagerness, his teasing, his blabbering, his impatience, his natural cuteness that before was hidden behind that emotionless mask of hostility.

He threw a glance at Masaki who would still utter things under his breath. You’re so cute, Masaki…
…………………………………………………


“You called us here because of this?” Masaki asked Nino frowning and his hands on his waist.

“What do you mean ‘because of this’?” Nino couldn’t believe his ears. “I happened to come back home earlier than usual and I found him in his bed with a half-naked missy!”

“He’s eighteen!”

“He… is young! Besides he is the one who wanted to become a doctor! Keeping your mind occupied with boobs won’t help you enter the university!”

“He’s a teenager! His mind is occupied with boobs either he sees them or not!” Masaki replied slightly calmer. “Besides, I never remember Sho or his other teachers telling me that he has difficulties following at school!”

“But he might get heartbroken and-”

“He might get heartbroken like everyone else. He’ll cry, he’ll laugh… but it will be ok because he has me, you two, Sho, even Jun and Toma! Nino… I know that you care about him… and I’m sure he knows it as well…”

“But he doesn’t call me papa anymore…” Nino whispered lowering his head.

“Where is he?”

“He left! Can you believe it?! He has turned his phone down, too!”

“Let’s go…” Masaki grabbed Nino’s hand. “I’m almost sure where he is!”

Sho and Satoshi remained at their seats on the sofa.

“Sometimes I feel I live with two teenagers!” Satoshi told Sho, trying to hold his laugh once the door closed.

“Nino can’t cope with the idea that Yusuke is growing up… I guess it’s logical… For no parent is…”

“I knew that he was sensitive but even as a psychologist, I could have never guessed this…”

“It’s probably because they love each other very much…”

“You know… Many times I’ve woken up without Nino by my side. Even now, he’s gone to check Yusuke… No matter how many years have passed by he still wants to make sure he’s alright…”

Sho smiled. “He’s Yusuke’s papa…”

“He truly is!” Satoshi agreed his mind travelling back when Yusuke had started living together.

---

“And this will be your room!” Nino said excitedly as he opened the door.

Yusuke’s smile was the widest he had ever seen.

Yusuke hugged Nino with all his power crying. “Thank you, papa!”

Nino sniffed himself. “Silly!” his lips almost attached at the top of his head. “You know you should not cry! Remember what Kitabana-sensei said!”

“Yes… sorry…” Yusuke said as he wiped his tears away.

Nino pecked his forehead. “What would you like to have for dinner?”

“Fish! Can we call oni-chan and Sho, too?”

“Of course we can! We would anyway!”

“Yay!”

***

“My love, where have you been?” Satoshi asked with sleepy voice.

“I was at Yusuke’s… to check if he breaths normally…” Nino whispered as he climbed back on their bed. “I’m sorry, if I woke you up, Toshi”

“Kitabana-sensei said…”

“Kitabana-sensei hasn’t been there when I was holding him in my arms one year old baby looking at me with those little eyes of his full of question and pain… neither when he was trying to tell me to keep reading the story a few years later…”

Satoshi pressed his lips on Nino’s. “He’s doing great!”

“But he will still have check-ups!”

“Of course he will, he had surgery! But don’t worry! Everything will be fine!”

“I hope so…”

Satoshi took his lover in his arms. “I’m sure of it…”

---

“I guess that pain reflected on Yusuke’s eyes will never leave him… He’s always been more worried than he should…”

“Satoshi!” Nino’s voice made them turn around to see Nino, Masaki and Yusuke having entered the apartment, the door still open.

“Papa?” Yusuke asked staring at Nino who was biting his lower lip guiltily. “Is it true?”

Nino only turned his head the other way as he closed the door. “What does it matter?!”

“You know that I love you… even… when I shout…”

“I just want you to be happy… and I know that sometimes I might overreact but I can’t handle it… you will be gone from the apartment and then how-”

Nino didn’t have the chance to finish as Yusuke hugged the other tightly.

“Papa, I’m sorry…”

“Just… promise me that that girl was your girlfriend and that she loves you and you love her!”

Yusuke lowered his head blushing. “She was…”

“Good… Then I’m sorry too…”

Masaki was trying to control his tears. It was true that he felt bittersweet when he had found out that Yusuke wanted to go to Osaka for his studies but he knew it was his life and that was the proof that he was alive and healthy. He had to live on his own.

“Nino…” Satoshi stood up and went closer to Nino. “Now that everything’s settled wouldn’t it be a wise idea Sho and Masaki leave? I’m sure you know it’s their anniversary today…”

“Yes… they should…”

Sho smiled. Finally the problems in their everyday lives were simple… like everyone else’s. No dark secrets… no hidden pasts… no scars, at least in their souls… They could smile and laugh heartedly… they could genuinely say that they’re happy.

Their lives had once been a total chaos but not anymore… because now they had each other and that was more than enough.





THE END

What a wonderful ff this has been *-*
I can't believe that have passed six months! By now this ff was a part of my daily life so I will miss it very much >.< Well, when I have time I can always read it again ne? XD.

I imagined that Nino would be an overprotective father but like this no hahah, he must have been very shocked seeing that scene but Yusuke is now eighteen so it's normal to have a girlfriend ne.
Everyone has grown up and continued their life and it's so nice to see that everyone is happy now ^^ No more secrets and problems but only happiness~~~

Thank you very much for writing this story and have a nice trip! Hope that you will spend a lovely xmas~
Bye bye <33

[pur3f8thxd.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, as usual, beautiful beautiful beautiful~ I loved the conclusion with Aiba and Sho continuing with their lives. Loved the little fact that AIba would get jealous when Sho would received chocolates for Valentine's even though Sho was the center of bully from the students hahas. But I guess it shows that the students changed too. Nino's over protectiveness was nice to see hahas and really funny but I can understand where he is coming from. But sorry Nino your baby is going to have to grow up eventually hahas give the kid some space lols!~ <3 And Sho I think it's time for you to get cooking lessons from Jun LOLs!!! gotta love those two lovebirds *wanted to read that little smut scene between the two* *cough* But great nonetheless And I'm sure Junma is doing great on their own ^^

Another great series coming to an end..sigh... so sad to see it go~ Thank you for another great series and also have fun in Greece!!!!! It's definitely one of my go to places when I get the chance to travel!!! Always loved its rich history and would love to see the ruins and everything!!

A perfect end to a great story!!!! Thank you so much for seeing it through!

[wjktl.livejournal.com]

Im here! I just finished reading 3 last chapter! It is so beautiful!!! Fantastic!!! Thank you~

Jun played a very good role here. He is a hero, because of him and his team, the bastard found a place in the prison. Ohno is so cute and calm here. Nino, omg!! He is a cute little papa for yusuke. He is worrying too much ne...kawaiii.

Sakuraiba is ❤💚! Im so happy for them. They should be with each other, forever. I respect aiba's decision to change school, it is more safer ne. Sho is so kind hearted willing to help their little angel, yusuke.

Ah... The last love making scene was so HOT...im burning! We need a jealous Sho! It turned him into a beast! Please make him more jealous, Masaki! And ohmiya is a forever hentai duo...i can imagine 'bad satoshi in bed' turning shy like ex-virgin...

These 6 ( including Toma) are a family...a very beautiful family 😍

And sorry for late writer san, you know i need a time to read your fics, so i can absorb all the words and their meaning perfectly~ im going to miss sho sensei and bad boy masaki😥
Good work! Cant wait to see you in next project !

[bekstakano.livejournal.com]

Yeay!! Cheers to a happy ending! Enjoy your Christmas holiday ♡

Loved the epilogue- thank you 😊

*done* I caught up with this story over the last two weeks (I was on vacation in November and I had a lot of stress at work, so I kinda missed a few updates, and then decided to wait until it's finished to read it in one go :D)
I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy that they all got their well-deserved happy end. I kinda had the feeling before that it would be Sho who saves Yusuke.
I love Nino as a fatherly figure, really! He is so mature and caring, and also over-protective. It's a rare side of him to be shown in fiction, and I really find it great! (It's so cute how he freaks out in the epilogue)
I'm also glad that Masaki and Sho got their lifes together, and that their problems at school and work were solved (Masaki attending a different school was a great idea <3)

Thanks for this multi-chapter! I'm sure it was a lot of work to write it OO

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it!!

The epilogue is beautiful 😍 we sure skipped a lot of time ne. Even Yusuke the little angel had done that XD Nino is such an overprotective mother (eh??)

Sorry for my late comment 😂 I'm in the middle of exam weeks. Wish me luck!!

[yukihanayoku.livejournal.com]

When I finished reading were the only words that came. wonderful wonderful wonderful.Thanks for sharing this wonderful story

[matsuaurore.livejournal.com]

I realize how many fics of yours I have missed when I check your journal today xD the SA os, I know I don't read everything as I don't like them, but I have also missed lots of Ohmiya and Matsumiya fics Oo well, I haven't been on LJ for so many months, it's normal I have missed a lot of your fics, I will have to read all the ones I haven't xD

So, to get back to this one, I've really liked it, especially when Aiba was a big asshole :P he really acted stupidely to go to sho's father, aibaka! luckily, Jun was here all the time to help them, without him, their lives would have ended badly I think >< once again, Tackey was a bad guy, why do you always put him as the bad guy, poor bb! xD
I'm very glad sho could manage to save Yusuke who is just too cute with Nino <3 especially in this epilogue, even if he is a teenager, he loves his papa Nino <3 I'm surprised he never saw Ohno as his second papa :/
My Junma is perfect <3
SA has grown up, they look like an adult couple despite aiba's age, by the way, I have to tell you that young aiba is indeed hot with his slight long hair and sakurai-sensei is just so hot <3 they were very cute in this fic, sho managed to save aiba's heart and to give a new meaning to his life though, it's sad to have Aiba-chan back, I loved dark Aiba xD
Thank you for this beautiful fic and for not letting my bb alone, I have really enjoyed reading this story <3<3<3<3<3

[tiny_tiny]

Thank you soooo much for this fic. It was very fun and addictive! I just realized that the fic is from 2016 so I'm not sure if you'll get to read the comment. But really! Thank you! I love it a lot ;_;

Ps. Jealous Sho after coming back from Jun's place in the last chapter was THE BEST!! AAGSFHSHHHSJJSJ
