Notes: This is for everyone who has sent me an email telling me to write an epilogue. I would list names but I didn't keep track. Shame on me! *sweatdrop* Ookay...Well, everyone, enjoy!

Epilogue

Yuy-Chang Wufei smiled as he finished off the letter to Duo about his daily life and if anything new was going on. He stuck his quill back into the ink pot and sprinkled some dust over it to help it dry. He read the letter over again, satisfied with what he wrote, before leaving it to dry. He stood up and stretched tiredly. It was late and Heero was still not back from business.

Wufei looked down at his hand where a simple yet beautiful gold ring was worn around his ring finger and smiled warmly as he remembered the day Heero had proposed to him, and then their wedding. Some of their friends had managed to sneak away from normal, daily life things and attended the small ceremony. It was easy for the bandits but Trowa, Quatre and Duo had a little more of a challenge making excuses to come out to Alaris. Alaris was sort of out of the way but they had managed to make up some silly excuse and came for the wedding. Of course, they had to go immediately but Wufei was happy to see Duo there. He missed the charming lord.

They had moved into a beautiful castle that was nice and far away from the city but close enough so they didn't have any trouble getting things when they needed it. But basically, they stayed out of the way and lived alone save a few servants. It was a little boring sometimes but Wufei was content. Heero always kept him happy and they always went traveling when Heero wasn't doing any business.

Heero had taken up the name Yuy since he needed a surname. He couldn't very well use his family's surname! And Wufei was more than happy to take on the name Yuy. It didn't matter what name it was, as long as he was with Heero nothing else mattered.

Although, for the life of him, Wufei couldn't understand *why* Heero wanted to be part of the trade when he already had enough money to live very comfortably without the money he was already making. But that was how Heero was and Wufei didn't bother questioning it. As long as Heero came home and kept him entertained, he was satisfied.

Of course, when Heero didn't know it, he would go out hunting with some of the servants or fishing by himself. He couldn't give up those pastimes! They were his favorite!

A gentle knock of the door brought Wufei out of his thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Master Heero is back, Master Wufei," a deep voice said from the other side of the door.

Wufei smiled. "Thank you, Francis."

"You're welcome, Master Wufei."

Wufei waited until the footsteps of the servants ceased to sound before he walked over to the mirror and pulled a comb through his hair. It was longer, almost down to his waist and Heero refused to let him cut it since the damned man liked to run his fingers through the silky stuff when they were alone or in bed.

Smiling wryly, Wufei pulled back his hair in a ponytail and tied it off with a bit of string. He smoothed down his pants and started for the door when it was swung open and Heero stood there. Before Wufei could even say 'hi' he was swept up into a tight hug with Heero's lips crushed against his own. I know he's been gone for a few days but I didn't think he'd react like this! Wufei thought in amidst all of the wonderful feelings flowing through him as he felt Heero's arms around him and Heero touching him again.

Heero pulled away and nuzzled Wufei's neck before setting the smaller man back down and pulling him into his arms.

"I missed you," he breathed into Wufei's ear.

Wufei laughed and rested his head against Heero's shoulder. "If you didn't go out on all these trips, you wouldn't have to miss me."

"Oh, but missing you is the best!" Heero protested.

Wufei lifted his head. "Oh? And why is that?"

"Because it just makes me want you all the more," Heero said huskily as he kissed Wufei on the forehead, down to his chin. His hands wandered up and down Wufei's slim body, loving the feel of his husband's seemingly fragile body underneath his hands. Gods, he did miss Wufei. He had been so tempted to call off the deal just to come home to his love, but he finished it up quickly instead and rushed home as quickly as possible.

Wufei gasped and laughed as he felt himself lifted up into Heero's arms and thrown on to the bed. He landed with an 'oof' and fell back against the thick covers. He watched as Heero closed the door and locked it before sitting up and smiling. He watched as his husband took off the riding cloak he had been wearing, ripping off his gloves and kicking off his boots before sliding into bed with him.

Heero moved over on top of Wufei, pushing the other man until he was pressed against the bed and kissed him warmly on the lips. He tasted his husband and sighed happily as he urged the sweet lips to part for him.

Sliding his arms around Heero's waist, Wufei melted into the wonderful kiss, his eyes closed as he drowned himself into the warm passion from his husband. His head fell back as he broke the kiss and he hissed in pleasure as Heero's lips worked over the sensitive skin of his neck. He felt like a puddle of emotions as he clung to his husband weakly while Heero worked him into a deep passion.

"Heero...Gods, I missed you," Wufei breathed as he felt Heero's hands slide underneath his shirt and begin teasing his sides. He arched and laughed as Heero began to tickle him. "No! Stop!"

Heero paused and looked up at Wufei with dark, lust filled eyes. "Do you really want me to?"

"No," Wufei moaned as he sank back on to the pillows and allowed Heero to do to him whatever he pleased.

Heero smirked as he stared at Wufei, taking in every single detail of his husband's beautiful face. Wufei was truly exquisite. His dark eyes were half-lidded and smoky with desire and passion, his lips were slightly parted as he breathed heavily from the want Heero knew he had inside of him. The white shirt he wore was half unbuttoned at the top, revealing a smooth, golden chest that rose and fell from the deep breaths Wufei was taking to control his desire. Heero especially loved Wufei's neck, that smooth arch that he could do so many things to. He almost laughed as he remembered how many times Wufei had to wear his collar shirts because of small stains Heero liked to leave on him occasionally.

Wufei trembled and smiled faintly as he allowed his husband to take his full in looking at him. He loved the way Heero looked at him, full of love and passion and want only for him. When Heero looked at him he felt completely loved and cherished. It made him warm and wonderful all over as he knew that love will never be amiss in his life. He will always be happy with Heero around.

"You're beautiful," Heero suddenly breathed before pressing a deep kiss to Wufei's pink lips. "Gods, you are *beautiful*."

"As much as I love your praise, Heero, I prefer something else," Wufei murmured as he ran his fingers through the thick dark brown hair. He absently wondered when was the last time Heero had combed his hair, but took it to himself to do it for his love. Gently finger combing the thick mass, he lost himself into the deep kisses Heero pressed on to him.

"And what is that, Wufei?" Heero mumbled while he made quick of Wufei's shirt. Soon the white silk was laying on the floor, easily forgotten.

"Wouldn't you like to know," Wufei managed dryly before he gasped at Heero's mouth on his stomach. "Ooh..."

Heero smirked and continued to kiss and lick his way down Wufei's firm stomach. He smiled as he came to a very sensitive part of Wufei's body, just right below the navel. He pressed a gentle kiss to the spot and winced as he felt Wufei's hands suddenly clutch his hair too tightly but said nothing as he continued to tease his love relentlessly.

"Gods, you're evil!" Wufei exclaimed as he tried to control himself from the onslaught of Heero's tongue and lips. He gasped and moaned, deep and long. The heat between his legs grew and he started to get a bit uncomfortable. He prayed Heero would take his pants off and quickly! He didn't know how long he could last...

As Heero teased Wufei, he quickly undid the laces of his husband's dark pants. With one quick tug, he ripped the pants right off and left Wufei naked and hot beneath him. He smiled and shook his head slightly as he heard the sigh of relief come from his lover.

"Heero..."

"Yes?"

"Take this off!" Wufei tugged at Heero's shirt, his nimble fingers undoing each of Heero's buttons before he parted the material and took his fill of Heero's tight, smooth chest. "Mmm..."

Heero shrugged out of the shirt and threw it somewhere before leaning forward to press a deep kiss to Wufei's warm, swollen lips. He ran fingers down the sides of Wufei's stomach before moving lower down to his thighs. He rested his hands there while he kissed Wufei thoroughly. After a moment or so, he began to slide his hands down to the warm, inner flesh of Wufei's thighs. Then he began to slowly caress the very, very sensitive and soft skin there.

Wufei arched and cried out as he felt pleasure surge through his body from Heero's touch. Gods... He trembled and gasped as Heero caressed him there, so close to his burning arousal. He had no words to describe the kind of pleasure he was going through as Heero touched him. It was something far too wonderful to actually describe. You can only feel the emotions of someone you love touch you in such an intimate way; there is no other way to tell it.

Running his fingers along the waistband of Heero's pants, Wufei's slim fingers quickly undid the other man's ties before urgently pushing the smooth yet very annoying cloth downwards. He wanted Heero right now! Not later or in a few moments, he wanted him *right* now. Heero helped him take off the pants and soon they pressed tightly against each other, both naked.

Heero rested between Wufei's thighs, completely content and comfortable where he was. He continued to caress and touch Wufei, causing the ex-bandit to make the most wonderful sounds.

"Heero...," Wufei panted.

"Hmm?"

"Now!! Please...Gods, now!" Wufei begged as he arched and twisted underneath Heero's sweet torture. "Aah!"

"If you really want it..." Heero trailed off teasingly as he slid his hands underneath Wufei's smooth, tight bottom.

"Oh yes!" Wufei gasped. "Yes!"

Heero pressed a gentle kiss to Wufei's forehead. Then he slid his hand underneath the pillows and began to search around. He smiled in triumph as he found the cream. He pulled it back out and twisted off the cap. Smoothing a good amount on his fingers, he dropped the cream somewhere and found Wufei's entrance. He pressed his fingers to the tight ring of muscle, watching Wufei's expression as he slid his finger into the hole, pressing deeper and deeper. When he was satisfied, he brought the finger back out before adding a second finger. He pushed them as deep as he dared before he began to slowly stretch Wufei.

Wufei screamed in pleasure as he felt himself being prepared for what was to come. He panted, trying to get enough breath as possible as he felt himself get light headed on the pleasure flooding his body.

"Are you sure?" Heero asked as he pushed in and out of Wufei's hole before finally pulling out his fingers.

"What are you asking that for? Have you gone--Aah!" Wufei screamed as he felt himself suddenly filled by Heero's length. He gasped and arched, drowning in the wonderful sensations lashing out through him. He moaned deeply as he felt Heero begin to move in and out of him at a slow, steady pace.

Taking his time, Heero made love to Wufei. He was determined to show his husband just how much he missed him and loved him. He focused most of his attention on Wufei's face as he thrusted in and out of him, absolutely adoring the pleasure written across his love's flushed face. His long silky hair fell into his eyes and Heero reached up to brush away at the errant strands. Running his fingers though Wufei's hair, Heero began to thrust faster and harder, listening to the quickening of Wufei's breath as he did so. Then he reached down to wrap his hand around Wufei's hard length.

Wufei moaned loudly as he felt Heero's arm, slick hand wrap around his arousal. He gasped and screamed in pleasure as the same hand began to pump him relentlessly. He clung to Heero, wrapping his legs around his husband's waist to bring him deeper and closer. He closed his eyes and gasped sharply as Heero thrusted particularly hard, the hand around him squeezing just right. With a scream, Wufei came.

Heero couldn't hold himself back anymore as Wufei's entrance tightened around him, the hot tunnel closing with just enough pressure to send him over the edge. He gasped and screamed hoarsely as he came, thrusting hard. His seed filled Wufei as each wave of pleasure washed over him again and again.

When the orgasm slowed its pace, he pulled out of Wufei and fell beside his husband. He immediately gathered Wufei into his arms and held his panting husband close. He pressed his face into the slightly damp hair and sighed contentedly.

"That was...gods..." Wufei breathed as he laid in Heero's arms. He turned over and began to reverently kiss at Heero's neck and chest. "Gods...I love you, Heero."

"I love you too, Wufei," Heero breathed as he tightened his arms around Wufei. "Now...let's get some sleep."

Wufei was already curled up and deep into the Dreamrealm.

~*~

A few days later...

Heero had came home early today so he could surprise Wufei but to his annoyance, his dearest husband had disappeared.

"What do you mean you don't know where he went?" Heero demanded of a frightened servant. He knew he shouldn't take his frustration out on him but he couldn't help it. What if Wufei had gotten hurt? First off, what was that stupid bandit doing out on his own in the first place?! Didn't he know there were bandits out there??

Heero almost smacked himself. Gods above, Wufei is--was--a bandit. Cursing underneath his breath, Heero dismissed the servant and leaned against the table of his room. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and tried to think of a place where Wufei would go...

Suddenly Heero had an idea of where that damned man had disappeared off to.

"Master Heero, where are you going?" a brave servant dared to ask.

"To go and retrieve my husband," was all Heero said as he left the castle. He took his fastest horse and took the shortest route to the near-by river where he was positive Wufei would be fishing in. He had tried to break Wufei of the habit of hunting since every time he left without telling someone, Heero would end up having something close to a heart-attack. Didn't Wufei know how much he scared him every time he just disappeared like that?!

As he neared the river, Heero spotted Wufei's horse and rolled his eyes. He jumped off his own horse and tied him to the same tree as Wufei's horse, Nataku. He then quietly walked to the river. As he neared it, he saw a pile of clothing on the bank of the river and wondered what they were doing there. But as he got closer and closer he heard splashes of someone swimming in the lake. Hmmm... Heero had a pretty good idea why those clothes were laying there.

Peeking through some branches, Heero decided to take this opportunity to watch his husband...frolic.

Wufei was deep in the water, just swimming back and forth through the hard currents, his strong arms taking him where he wanted to go. His long hair was slicked back and hung down to his waist in wet locks that floated around him. He looked absolutely beautiful. Heero dimly remembered reading something about sirens and mermaids or something like that. Right now, Wufei reminded him of those mystical creatures who could lure men to their death with their beauty.

Suddenly, without any warning, Wufei was pulled underneath the water.

Heero was already stripping off his clothing as he ran towards the river. He dove in and swam to the spot where Wufei had last been and started searching for his husband. He cursed as he swore to himself to KILL Wufei for doing such a dangerous thing as swimming in a river with currents this hard. But first, he had to find the man.

Breaking through the surface, Heero took deep gulps of air before diving back down. He couldn't find Wufei at all! He was afraid the ex-bandit could have been taken further down river. He hoped not though. What if Wufei drowned? Fear and panic made themselves known to Heero as he searched for Wufei.

As he surfaced again, Heero was prepared to dive back down once more when two strong arms wrapped themselves around his waist.

"Looking for me?"

"Gyaah!" Heero whirled around and glared at the laughing Wufei. "Shit, Wufei, what the hell do you think you're doing pulling that stunt?"

"What were you doing watching me like that?" Wufei counted, his dark eyes flashing with amusement. "Looks like we're even. What are you doing out here anyway?"

"Looking for you," Heero growled. "What do you think you're doing running off without telling people?"

"Heero, you know how I hate doing that. Besides, why should they bother with me?" Wufei snorted.

"Because you're my husband and I want to make sure you're all right for Derrath's sakes! Jeez, Wufei, what are you trying to do? Put me in an early grave?" Heero shouted.

Wufei smirked. "Of course, but I planned to do it a different way."

Heero cocked an eyebrow. "Really? And how is that?"

"Wear you out," Wufei said wickedly before he disappeared underneath the water again.

Heero rolled his eyes and went after him. He was going to show his misbehaving husband a thing or two!

~*~

Wufei breathed heavily as he snuggled deeper in his husband's arms. They were laying on the grassy bank of the river, breathing hard from their previous activities. After Heero had caught him, his husband had tried to "punish" him. Of course that backfired and they just ended up making love on the river bank.

"Worn out yet?" Wufei asked lazily as he rested his hand on Heero's shoulder.

"Hardly," Heero snorted.

"Does that mean you're up to another round?"

"Give me a minute, all right? Jeez, you're bad."

Wufei laughed and closed his eyes. "Only around you, Heero."

"Hmph." Heero slid his fingers through Wufei's damp hair, combing it gently as he wrapped those wet strands around his finger.

"Come on, Prince Charming, we better get back to the castle before anyone starts to miss us," Wufei said, sitting up a bit.

"Prince Charming?" Heero laughed and sat up as well. He looked around for his clothing and spotted his pants not so far away. He reached for them and quickly pulled them on. When he was finally clothed, Wufei was already untying the horses.

Heero came up behind the other man and wrapped his arms around his slim waist, not even caring about the wet hair against his shirt.

"Do you know how much I love you?" he asked softly as he held Wufei.

"Yes," Wufei answered softly.

"You scared me today, pulling that trick," Heero said, hugging Wufei tightly as he rested his chin on Wufei's shoulder. "Don't you ever do that again. I can't live without you, Wufei."

Wufei lowered his head a moment before raising it and turning around to look Heero in the eye. "All right. I won't do that again." He leaned forward and Heero kissed him. They kissed for a long time before breaking the kiss and getting on to their horses.

"Let's go home, Wufei," Heero said, smiling as he turned the horse around.

Wufei nodded, smiling as well as he felt his heart swell with love for Heero. It was strange how a routine ambush could change his life so drastically. And he didn't regret a single moment of it.

Heero looked at Wufei, noting his husband's thoughtful expression. He smiled and pulled Wufei over for another kiss, much to Nataku's annoyance.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," Wufei murmured against Heero's lips. "Let's go home."

Heero nodded and pulled away. Then the two headed back.
