Final Chapter: The Happy Ending

Kris tossed and turned in his bed, sweat drenching the shirt on his back. This nightmare, would it ever end? He wondered in his sleep.  He didn't understand what was happening, why his life had to be turned upside down.

Tao... His Tao...

"No..." He mumbled, head thrashing to the side when he realized Tao was dead in his dream. "No...Tao..." He muttered again. 

Tears poured from his eyes, his hands the sheets and pulling covers left and right. He wanted to wake up, he wanted to escape this hellish place the claimed his mind and tormented him. 

"T-Tao... No!" He screamed, his entire body jolting from the bed as he finally broke free of his horrible dream like trance. 

Looking around the empty room, he panicked, more tears falling from his swollen and puffy eyes. "T-Tao?!"He called, ripping the covers off Tao's spot in the bed. "Zitao!" He called, looking left and right. He'd been there when he went to sleep he knew it.

This only seemed to frighten him more, his heart beating out of his chest as he leaped from the bed to search for his love. "Wu Zitao!" He called once again, going to open the bedroom door. But as soon as he flung it open, there stood Tao, a cup of coffee in his left hand and toast in the other.

"Yifan! Jesus, you scared me!" He cried, letting out a small sigh when the other opened the door. "I was just downstairs, no need to freak out." 

Kris' tears only seemed to fall more as he took the breakfast items from Tao and sat them down on the dresser by the door. All the while, Tao seemed perplexed as to why Kris was in the state he was.

"Baby, are you alri-" his sentence was cut off when he found his face buried in Kris' shoulder, arms wrapped tightly around his body. 

"I thought I lost you..." He whispered, squeezing Tao closer to him as if he would disappear. 

The younger smiled, wrapping his arms around Kris and gently rubbing his back in a soothing manor. "You had the dream again." It wasn't a question.

Every year on the anniversary of Tao's car accident, Kris would have this wild dream that would make him wake up screaming it terror. Something Tao had just gotten accustom to. 

Kris nodded, pulling back to look at him. "I love you." He said, giving his lips a firm kiss after. "I love you so much, I want you to know that." He ran his hand along Tao's jaw, eyes scanning over every feature. 

Tao chuckled, reaching to cup Kris' cheeks. "Yifan, I'm right here, I didn't go anywhere. I'm not dead. I didn't die in the car accident, I didn't loose my memory." He assured him, his gaze deep as he tried to calm his fretful husband. 

Kris nodded, closing his eyes and just feeling Tao's touch. "That's right..." He said, leaning closer into him.

The day of Tao's accident was one that scared him, but he remember the other has been fine. He walked away with barely a scratch, and yet Kris had this wild fantasy cooked up that he'd had amnesia or died. 

"You're here... You didn't die... You didn't loose your memory..." He repeated, his heart rate beginning to slow. He opened his eyes, staring at Tao again. "I'm sorry, I just get so worried." He pulled Tao back into his arms, resting his chin on top of his head. 

"It's okay," Tao said chuckling, tilting his head up to look at Kris. "I love you Yifan," he said, snuggling into him. Kris could only smile, looking over the other's head when he saw a small figure in the doorway. 

"Mommy? Daddy?" Their three year old son, Yixuan, called. He stood behind them, rubbing his eyes as he gazed up.

Kris smiled, letting go of Tao and reaching down to pick him up. "Hi buddy, I'm sorry did we wake you?" He asked, smoothing down his morning bed head.

The little boy shook his head, wrapping his arms around Kris' neck. "Daddy I'm hungry." He pouted, laying his head down on his shoulder. 

Kris chuckled, beginning to walk towards the kitchen. "Alright then breakfast it is." He felt Tao take his hand as he walked, a warm feeling passing through his chest.

"Finally..." He thought to himself, lacing their fingers together.

"It was only a dream..."
