I have no explanation for this. After writing the preceding ficlet in one sitting (no way, you could tell?!) and thinking my work was done, this little epilogue snuck up on me and demanded to be included. Probably it was more a subconscious attempt on my part to counterbalance all the fluff of the original ficlet. At any rate, here 'tis for your enjoyment. (Or derision, whichever. :P)
Epilogue
In the morning, Mikage was awoken rather forcibly when he was kicked unceremoniously out of the top bunk, to land in a heap on the floor. Outraged, he glared up at Teito, who was sitting up and smirking. “That hurt, you brat!” he complained. “After all our brotherly bonding last night, this is how you treat your best friend?”
Teito's smirk widened into a smile. “Best friend, huh?” he repeated. “I don't think I agreed to that. In fact, I don't think I agreed to calling you my friend at all.” He threw his pillow down, hitting Mikage square in the face. “Get dressed, we're going to be late.”
Anything Mikage had been about to say was forgotten when he glanced at the clock, and instead he began scrambling around the room, swearing. Teito calmly climbed down from the bunk and was dressed within moments. Tossing Mikage's jacket at him and hitting him in the face again, he opened the door and spoke over his shoulder. His voice was far too sweet, and the smile he was wearing was full of that scary aura again.
“By the way, Mikage, I think it's only fair to warn you that if you breathe a word of what happened last night to anyone, your slow, agonizing death will be on your own head.”
Mikage gulped. But when he looked at Teito's eyes he found them clear; the devastation still lingered, as it probably always would, but the peace that had appeared far outshone it. There was gratitude clear there, too. So Mikage smiled back and gave a flippant salute.
“Understood, best buddy.”
~owari… no, really~
:P
