Epilogue

~Home~

Mello jammed his helmet on in a hurry, not bothering to fasten the straps as he sped away from the long day of testing, both written and practical. He would be late if he did not hurry, and he wasn't about to keep Matt waiting.

Matt…he smiled just thinking about him. He was truly the best thing that had ever and could ever happen to him. He had been the one to encourage and push him to go back to school for what he wanted after his father had fired him, which incidentally had not been any sort of surprise considering the fall out after the divorce.

Mello had not cared about the money lost, had his own bank account separate from the 'marital funds' that his parents couldn't freeze no matter how much they would love to; he could easily support himself for years on what he had saved. His mother, even a year since the divorce papers had been filed and finalized, still tried to badger him into a life with Samantha. She told him that it was only natural for his 'wife' to have made a mistake after he withheld such a large piece of information; they could have adopted after all. It was enough to make him scoff. He may have been wrong in hiding his sterility, but she made her own decisions; there was no way he was going back to that life, a life he hated. He had told his mother as much and still had a scar on his arm from where she had thrown a glass at him.

Matt, unlike the rest of those in his life, wanted him to reach for his dreams, to do everything he had never gotten the chance to or had the courage to go after. And he had.

Currently he held degrees in criminal law and psychology and had just taken his tests for forensics. Once that was under his belt and he felt certain he did at least well enough to scrape by, he could get to work pretty much anywhere in the field he wanted.

He zoomed past the yellow light and slid into the parking garage for the apartment and into his preferred spot. Cutting the engine and pocketing the key, Mello stretched his arms skyward in an attempt to relieve the day's worth of tension. Shaking the numbness from his legs, he made quick work of the distance between him and the apartment. Inserting the key, he pushed open the door to be greeted by silence.

He had always wanted to be normal. Perhaps an ideal ingrained in his mind since he was old enough to understand spoken words, maybe even why he let his mother dominate his life for so long. Normal meant having a family, a job, a wife, and kids. The latter two he had never wanted.

But for him, being gay was normal. Being with Matt made him happy, not some fawning woman. Working crime scenes would be what made him happy, not working in a stuffy office or living in a lavish house, surrounded by things he didn't need or really have a use for.

Mello deposited his keys into the decorative ashtray on the counter; they clanked against another pair. Arms suddenly grabbed him from behind, spinning him around to face his attacker. Mello smiled into the offered kiss.

"How did it go?" Matt asked, arms still holding him in place close to him.

"I think I passed, but I can never tell with these damn tests. I always wonder if I should have given more detail or looked at something differently than I have," Mello sighed heavily, finally feeling a little fatigued.

"I'm certain this will be just another milestone. Which in that case, I say I take you out to dinner for an early celebration." Matt smiled widely at him, as if to say he had been planning this the entire time.

"But I just got home," he protested. In truth he always enjoyed where Matt took him, each place never being the same and always an adventure. "I will make it worth your while," the grin Matt gave him was positively Cheshire.

"Oh, well in that case, I guess I should get dressed into something with more leather?" he teasingly slid his hands to Matt's waist, playing with his belt buckle.

"You're horrible!" Matt laughed, pushing him away.

"Only for you," he winked and sauntered over to their bedroom.

This was home.

And he was happy.

-The End-

AN: and that is it. :) I hope you all enjoyed this one. I love taking overdone plots and twisting them a little :)
