A/N: I did it! I actually wrote an entire lemon! And people liked it! I'm so proud of meself X3. Anyhoo, thanks a billion to all my reviewers, and here is the last chapter to BSASE.

Malik was up early as usual. He'd planned on being an ass and waking Altair, too, but when he saw the look of utter peace on the other's face he just couldn't bring himself to do it. After all, he was wounded and needed his rest. So he got up as quietly as he could, put on his robes, and went in to start the day's work.

A short while later he heard a cough and a sibilant curse. "Altair?"

"What?"

"Is my carpet clean?"

"No," he said as he walked into the main room, hood down. "And that way it shall stay."

Malik laughed to himself. "Of course it will."

"That was unfair, you know," Altair began absently, leaning back on the counter.

"What, exactly?"

"What you did to me last night." He turned his head to look back at the rafiq.

"Hm," he said with a smile, scrawling a few notes in the corner of a map.

So Altair went on. "You know, had we done it before, I never would've let that happen."

"So how do you propose we fix this problem I've allegedly created?"

"I say we try again."

Malik met Altair's gaze and broke out into a grin.

A/N: That's it, I'm sad to say it's actually finished. I leave what happens next to your imagination... *grin*
