Hello all! I'm back from vacation! I begin band camp next Monday, so this might be my last update on anything for at least a week. I want to spend as much time doing summer stuff as possible. This is the last chapter of this story. Sad, I know. I do have a good idea for a one-shot that I'll hopefully put up before school starts on Aug. 22. After that, I won't be around much. I probably won't do any stories for the holidays. Stupid snow won't let me ride my bike to the library...

Oh well, the future will play itself out soon enough and we'll find out how often I'll be around. In the present, enjoy the last chapter!(I don't own this song)

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die

Yami ran his hand through his hair for the millionth time while going through his situation again in his head. He determined, yet again, that he was probably going to be stuck there for as long as time allowed him to stay. At the moment, time was telling him forever. Unless fate were to interfere with time. Fate and love.

Yami followed the indents in the wall between the bricks with his finger. He'd already used up his TV and exersize times today, so there was nothing left to do but daydream. He closed his eyes and continued to trace the wall. Yugi's face was the first thing that appeared in his mind. It was no surprise to the man. He let his daydream carry out. The imaginary Yugi frowned when he saw Yami smile at him. Yami tilted his head and opened his arms for Yugi. What was a surprise to Yami was that though Yugi was frowning, he came into his arms and kissed him on the lips.

The imaginary backround turned into a beautiful forest with waterfalls and trees. Yugi tore himself from Yami's grip and took his hand. Now, he was smiling. He led Yami to the stream leading away from the falls. They were barefoot, but the rocks didn't hurt Yami's feet. He just let his eyes follow Yugi's every movement. Yugi began to run down the stream. Yami followed, not letting their hands part. When they stopped at the bottom of the falls, Yugi turned to Yami. He opened his mouth to speak-

"Atemu!"

Yami jolted himself out the beautiful vision and sat up on the bed.

"Yeah?"

"You got a visitor again. You want to see him?"

Yami's jaw dropped. It took him a moment to nod his answer. While the officer went to get the visitor, Yami took a couple deep breaths and tried to register the words in his mind. Visitor? It could only be one person. But what could be the purpose of the visit. Did he believe? Or was he just there to mock Yami in his low point. Or maybe, he was running off somewhere and coming to say goodbye. Yami's eyes widened. Maybe he found someone else. A new boyfriend. Yami quivered at the possiblities.

When he heard footsteps echoing down the hall, Yami stood and resisted running towards the bars. Sure enough, Yugi sat on the bench accross from him again. His face was straight and his hands were burried in his pockets.

"Hi," Yami said.

Yugi nodded. "Hey."

Yami tried a smile, but it dissapeared after only a few seconds. Yugi's face still showed no emotion at all. He looked right at Yami this time, rather than the floor.

"How are you?" Yugi asked.

Yami's eyebrows scrunched together at the question be he finally answered. "I'm okay."

"How's the food?"

"Could be better."

"Bed comfy?"

"Hard as a rock."

"You want out, huh?"

Yami nodded. "Hey, I have a question."

Yugi shrugged. "Shoot."

"What's with the questions?"

Yugi's face finally broke into a smile. "Just wait, there's only one more question left. And it should be easy."

Yami nodded and motioned for Yugi to continue.

"Do you love me?"

Yami's eyes widened when he heard the question. He looked up at Yugi right after the question was asked to see the expression on his face. Yugi was smiling brightly. The smile that Yami hadn't seen since they'd made love.

"Well?" Yugi said when Yami didn't speak.

Now it was Yami's turn to smile. "Of course I do."

"How much?" Yugi asked.

Yami smirked. "I thought you'd already asked your last question."

Yugi giggled. "There might be more."

Yami nodded. "From the earth to the end of the universe and back a billion times. That's how much I love you."

Yugi stood and approached Yami. He reached through the bars and took Yami's hands in his.

"No fair," he whispered. "You took my answer."

Yami gasped and tightened his grip on Yugi's hand. "Yugi..."

Yugi smiled and ran his fingers along the creases in Yami's palms. "I love you Yami. I believe."

Yami was at a loss for words. He awkwardly leaned forward and stuck his face between two bars. Not being able to stretch his face out further than an inch, he motioned with his mouth that he wanted a kiss. Yugi laughed out loud. Yami swore that the laugh had to be what angels sound like when they sing. Yugi leaned forward himself and kissed Yami's lips. Yami revisited the magical place he found himself in whenever Yugi's lips were touching his. Yugi smiled into the kiss and they held the kiss until Yami pulled away.

"What?" Yugi asked.

"The bars were digging into the sides of my face," Yami said, rubbing his cheekbones.

Yugi nodded. "Sorry. That's actually another one of my questions."

Yami chuckled. "I should have seen that coming."

"How would you spend your time if you were free again?"

Yami smiled. "I'd hold you forever and never let go."

Yugi nodded. "That's what I figured." He motioned with his head. Yami looked down the hall to see the officer come down the hall with his keys. Yami's eyes widened as a key was slid into the keyhole of his cell. The door slid open and the officer nodded.

"This young man paid your bail. Your clothes are in the room to the left down the hall," was all the officer said before dissapearing through another door. Yami looked at Yugi feeling confused, relieved, and grateful all at the same time.

"Though there is a condition," Yugi said.

"Anything my love," Yami gasped.

"You take me with you."

Yami frowned. "What?"

Yugi shrugged. "You're bound to go somewhere after this. It's the way you live. I want to be a part of your life. So, I want to go with you on your next journey."

Yami shook his head. "No, Yugi, you have a life here! I'll stay here with you."

Yugi held up a hand. "Can't do that. My friend Joey has already bought my house for an art studio. All I have left are some of my stuff and the truck. I'm ready to follow you wherever you go."

Yami shook his head. "Yugi...I don't know what to say."

Yugi smiled. "But, I'll only do this if you agree that we come back here for the wedding."

"Wedding?"

Yugi nodded. "Like you said, my life is here, and so are my friends. I want to have our wedding here so they can see it."

Yami smirked. "Who said we're getting married?"

Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's waist and leaned up to whisper in his ear. "Is that a yes then?" he asked.

Yami pulled Yugi back to look at him. He held the boy's face in his hands and caressed his cheeks with his thumbs. "Read my lips," he whispered. He then pulled Yugi into a passionate kiss that Yugi quickly responded to. They stood there kissing for who knows how long, knowing the future would be bright.

As time went on...

Yami's motorcycle had been taken by the city due to it just sitting in the restrant parking lot for too long. But he didn't mind. He and Yugi were able to sit together in the truck as they drove to places like Dallas, Memphis, Nashville, and Mytle Beach. Yugi had made sure he brought as much of his money as possible from back home. He and Yami were able to get hotel rooms on most nights. But other times, when they were in the mountains, they prefered to sleep in the back of the truck and stargaze.

The first time they made love since Yami getting out of prison happened to be in the back of Yugi's truck. Both were surprised at the passion they showed, but then again they weren't. Feeling each other's touch after yearning all that time was electrifying.

Yami kept his side of the bargain. He made sure to return to Texas for the wedding. It was simple, which was what Yugi wanted, along with Yami's commitment. They were married two years after they first met, to the date. Up until then, they had been traveling, and then butting heads with the Texan government over the legality of the union. Whenever Yugi would get frustrated with it, Yami would pick up his efforts and sometimes tested his limits and Yugi would be the one to calm him down. In the end, they won with Yami's convincing (and sometimes fists and money) and showing persistance with their love.

After they were married, they stayed in town for a while and finally agreed on a place to settle down after some fighting. Yami wanted to live in a big city while Yugi prefered to stay in a small town somewhere. They finally decided on an island off the coast of North Carolina. Yugi loved the ocean view and Yami liked that there was a semi-busy thriving town nearby. Yugi found a new photography practice while Yami finally found a suitable job (at least to him an Yugi) working in a fancy sit-down restrant on the island.

They went back to Texas often to visit the valley. They tried to come for any holiday or just whenever they felt they needed forgivness and to reminice. After that, they would drive back home down a not so broken road. They repaired their many mistaken trails with their love.
