            "And they lived happily ever after" Arthur finished the tale to his three wonderful children that soon fell asleep, "Until they adopted three little gremlins that gave them white hairs"

"Mon cher! That is rude!" Francis reminded before taking his hand and pulling him up to leave the room to let their kids sleep, "They are our precious treasures and little joys in our lives"

Arthur hummed in agreement as they left the room to gently close the doors to let their children sleep. It was night as they were walking back to their room only to stop in front of the throne room with the moonlight shining. Francis hummed a song before pulling Arthur into a waltz.

"Francis" Arthur reminded with a shake of his head, "We must retire for the night. We have work to do, you know that frog"

"And yet, you're not resisting me, mon lapin" Francis answered as he twirled Arthur and held him close, "Do you think nos enfants will be ok? I do worry for them"

"Of course, they will be" Arthur promised as he squeezed his hands, "We will be there, our friends are near, and our family is here. They'll have all the support they need and love to grow into the wonderful people they will become. We will have a front row seat to it"

Arthur pressed a kiss to Francis's lips to reassure him as they relaxed knowing they shared the same beliefs and reassurances.

"Do you remember us dancing like this on our wedding?" Arthur asked fondly.

"How could I ever forget that?" Francis replied before spinning him.

Both reflected on their story. From Arthur leaving the castle, stealing money from Francis, and meeting him for who he is. Enjoying their banter, embraces, and each other. Arthur finding the wonder in life with the world and with Francis there to accept him for who he truly was.

"How about the time I chased after you in the garden?" Francis asked with a hum.

"Ah, nearly had a bloody heart attack!" Arthur answered with a shake of his head.

For Francis chasing after the prince who hid his identity, to saving his life from a thief and the water, and for letting him have so much fun again in life. Loving their nicknames, sharing hugs, and always there. Francis finally having the joy in life and the world with Arthur there with him.

Yes, their story maybe over, but their lives will live on and continue to influence others and help those in need. For their love for each other, the world, friends, and family would always be strong enough to pierce through the darkness and bring the love back to them.

With their waltz coming to an end, they returned to their chambers and spent a lovely, restful night together knowing that their lives are filled with love for each other, their friends, siblings, and wonderful children all the way for it. For that love will always be there for them in the end.
