Heavens fire goddess: Welp, my story has finally come to an end, this is the very last chappy of Sleeping Terrors (sniff) but I had such a wonderful time writing it that I'm not that sad.

Shuichi: B-but I am! (Shuichi is crying)

Heavens fire goddess: Aw don't cry Shuichi, I'll make sure to keep in touch okay. (Author hugs Shuichi and then looks over to Yuki) so…are ya gonna miss me too?

Yuki: Nope.

Heavens fire goddess: Not even a little?

Yuki: …maybe…but don't expect me to cry and get all mushy like that damn brat.

Heavens fire goddess: (Author hugs Yuki) I wouldn't do that 'cause I know you could never act like that. (He knows he wants to cry.)

Yuki: You're right. (Maybe I was wrong.)

Heavens fire goddess: Well, my wonderful reviewers requested an after the drama chapter, so I'm gonna give them one as a thank you for encouraging me so much. Thanks and here it is, The After the Drama Chapter

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(1 week later)

Shuichi woke up lying on Yuki's chest; he smiled and moved in even closer to Yuki. His mind was plagued with thoughts of last week's events: "You damn BASTARD! How dare you act like the victim! Knowing damn well it's your fault I'm the way I am today!"

'I can't believe Yuki cried and trembled. I never thought I would ever see Yuki act like that…so… afraid and sad. What happened between those two? What I really want to know is why did Yuki shoot Kitazawa? "I'm the one with a damn scar on my left shoulder…not you! I was the one bleeding half to death not you! Now come on Eiri you're not being fair…can you really blame the way you are on me? Is it my fault that Shuichi feels like you don't love him? Is it my fault that you push the people who actually give a damn about you away?"

'Why did he have to bring me into the conversation? And I, being the dumb one just made the situation worse by not telling Yuki that it wasn't true…but it was almost true…' Shuichi looked up to his sleeping lover. 'But now I realize I had nothing to worry about. Yuki can tell me what happened to him when he feels like it, I won't pressure him by asking questions…besides, I've heard all I needed to hear already.

"I love you too…Shuichi"

Shuichi smiled and sniffed the sweet scent of his lover.

(Later around 1:00)

"Shuichi I have to go to a meeting with my editor." Yuki said finishing his lunch.

"What? But Yuki…"

"I won't be that long so quit the damn whining." Yuki said cutting off Shuichi.

"Really?" Shuichi said giving Yuki his famous big puppy dog eyes.

"Really." Yuki kissed Shuichi on the cheek. "You should keep yourself busy. Why don't you wash the dishes?"

"What? Why do I have to wash the dishes? I always wash the dishes!"

"I'll make it worthwhile."

"That sure is tempting but…the dishes are evil!"

"Evil? Shuichi?" Yuki raised an eyebrow. "Get serious…how about I do that thing that you love?" Yuki said seductively. Shuichi blushed.

"That would be nice considering the fact that you haven't done it in a long time, I can't believe you're trying to bribe me…fine." Shuichi said giving in to the trap.

"Good. I'll be back soon." Yuki walked out the door and closed it behind him. Shuichi looked at the dishes and glared at them.

"You're probably laughing at me right now, aren't you dishes? Stupid dishes…I hate washing the dishes…and yet I'm always stuck washing them like I still live with my mother! Yuki and I are gonna have a long talk about this…we need to set some kind of schedule. So that way I can relax and watch TV while he cleans…I wonder what Yuki would look like in an apron?" Shuichi pictured Yuki in a pink apron that said "Kiss the Chef" on it and smiling and humming to himself while cooking and cleaning at the same time. (Phew, he was doing a lot…more than I ever could)

Shuichi's imagination

"Shuichi! Come eat my love!"

"Coming Yuki!" Shuichi ran and sat at the table.

"So, did you have a good time relaxing?"

"Yup but I kind of spilled my tea on the floor, would you go clean that up?"

"Of course! Anything for you? Want me to massage you later on?" Yuki asked with a giant smile.

"Nah, I'll be too tired, but you could pour me some more tea."

End of Shuichi's imagination

"HAHAHA yeah right! Like Yuki would ever act like that or wear an apron like that! HAHAHA it's funny to think about…then again it's kinda creepy… and scary…Yuki smiling like that…and listening to me when I tell him to do something…on second thought, never mind that." Shuichi huffed as he went to wash the "evil" dishes.

(Later about 5:00 when Yuki gets home)

"So, you cleaned the dishes like I asked? And you dusted everything in the living room? I'm surprised." Yuki said; astonished at how clean everything was, while taking off his black trench coat.

"You said you'd do that thing I love, that's why I cleaned everything. That way we won't have to worry about anything else. You also said that you wouldn't be long. What happened? Did you get lost on the way home or something? Or…" Shuichi was cut off by a sudden kiss from Yuki.

"You're so cute when you're angry." Yuki kissed Shuichi again.

"Yuki…"Shuichi became flustered and didn't know what to say. Yuki started to kiss Shuichi on his neck.

"Ah…Yuki" Shuichi moaned in pleasure.

"Let's go in the room, I did make a promise didn't I? I'll make it feel ten times better since I came back so late."

They walked into the room to continue what they had started.

(Later that night in the bedroom)

"Are you satisfied Shuichi?" Yuki asked.

"Yes."

"Good…Shuichi listen, I want to tell you something." Yuki said with his arm on Shuichi's back.

"What is it Yuki?" Shuichi asked as he lay on Yuki's chest.

"Well it's about Kitazawa…" Yuki said hesitantly.

"Yuki you don't have to tell me if it's hard for you."

"But don't you want to know?"

"Well I can wait for when you feel comfortable with telling me."

"I do feel comfortable."

"But…okay Yuki, I'm listening."

"Well the reason why I shot Kitazawa was because…he raped me."

"R-rape? But why would he do something like that?" Shuichi asked not able to contain all the questions he had for Yuki.

"I honestly don't know…we had only been dating for two months. I was fifteen and he was sixteen." Shuichi sat up and turned toward Yuki.

"That must have been hard to deal with."

"Yeah well, that same day we exchanged I love yous, I thought we would be happy together. I loved to write and he loved to read, what a coincidence that we met at a library, and before I knew it we were dating. He was the only person who was nice to me, the only person who accepted a half-Japanese half-American boy. Anyway that night when he did that I saw a gun on his nightstand and the only thing I could think about was getting the hell out of there, so I grabbed the gun and shot him."

"Yuki…"

"I never saw him again after that night. Since I didn't know where I shot him I assumed he was dead. When I turned eighteen I went back to New York only to find out that he disappeared. None of his friends who still lived there knew where he went and didn't know if he was ever going to return. That's why I gave myself his name I thought he was dead. Even though I didn't want to remember what happened, I didn't want to forget either, hence the name Eiri Yuki. Soon after my mother died and Mika, Tatsuha, and I moved here to stay with my father." Yuki laid there with his arm over his face. "I guess that's when I changed, I thought my life was worthless and I didn't want to live anymore.

"Yuki, I would have never thought you went through so much, and yet you were so young." Shuichi said sadly trying to hold back his tears.

"When I moved here I couldn't speak any Japanese, so it was even harder to get through school. Of course that's where I met Seguchi and Claude. I was lucky because they could speak really good English."

"So you guys became fast friends?"

"No."

"No?"

"No, they had to break through a lot of barriers before they even got me to tell them my name. I guess it was worth it in the end, meeting them did raise my spirits a bit."

"Yeah, Mr.K is really funny…when he doesn't have a gun in his hand."

"You mean… there are times when he doesn't have gun and isn't mindlessly threatening people with them?"

"Uh well I don't know about the mindlessly threatening part but there was one time when he forgot his guns at home."

"Really? This world is full of surprises." Yuki said.

"Yeah, that day he used his fingers as a gun to threaten us. I thought he was delirious, so did Fujisaki and Hiro. Hahaha." Yuki looked at Shuichi's smiling face. That's one thing he loved about Shuichi, his smile. Even though Shuichi cries and dresses up in ridiculous costumes and gets yelled at for being so stupid; in the end this is what you get, a happy, contagious smile."

"Thank you Shuichi."

"Huh?" Shuichi looked at Yuki in confusion.

"I said Thank you."

"What for?"

"For…staying with me." Shuichi was shocked by the sudden gratitude from Yuki, but smiled anyway.

"Of course Yuki, anything for you…hahahahaha!"

"What's so funny?"

"What I just said reminded me of when you were in that apron…"

"Apron? What the hell are you talking about?"

"Uh, nothing never mind." Shuichi kissed Yuki.

"Kitazawa messed up really bad, I know this is going to sound selfish but if he hadn't messed up so bad…I wouldn't be as happy as I am right now." Shuichi said with all his laughing and jokes aside.

"Shuichi…"

"It's true Yuki; I think I'm really lucky to have met you." Shuichi hugged Yuki and stayed there. "There's no place in this world I'd rather be than right here with you. Kitazawa is probably wishing that he could be this close to you just one more time."

"That's too bad for him because…I only want to be close to you now…"

"I love you Yuki and I always will." Shuichi said.

"I love you too Shuichi." Yuki kissed Shuichi on the forehead. Shuichi smiled

'He said it again…those three words that make my heart jump for joy every time I hear them…' Shuichi thought. They laid there comfortably breathing in each other's scent until they fell asleep. Seems like there is only one person that can make Yuki smile, and only one person that can make Shuichi's heart jump…and they are laying right next to each other now…and forever.
