Middle Finger

Oh fuck, I just realized this story is over. Guys, this is one of my favorites of all the stories I have going! Its great that I can give it a good ending, but I'm gonna be sad to see it end. I'll re read it a lot in the future and I hope you will too. Here's the last chapter of Middle Finger. And that song up there, is the song I first began writing this story to as I listened to it. It put me in the mood to write the first chapter and it feels so epic listening to it while reading the story and so nastalgic listening to it now at the last chapter. I hope you feel the same vibe that I felt as you listen and read.

Godaiin helped Rin recover and get back on his feet, though he couldn't walk without a cane or someone else supporting him. Giving power that he didn't have damaged the nerves in his left leg pretty badly–Equivalent Exchange, he supposed. It also damaged the nerves in his right hand, but that healed up good enough to where it just twitched at random times. Rin dropped out of highschool because he'd already missed a lot and who needed education when you were the son of Satan destined to fight for Humanity?

Godaiin's feeling grew deeper for Rin and Rin's feelings blossomed more and more. It was beautiful to see him feel like they did.

"What do your parents think of me now?" Rin wondered after he'd officially dropped out of school. "They told me to stay away from you." Godaiin admitted. Rin snickered.

"Pffft, rich people....."

"Hey, I'm a rich person!" Godaiin looked at him, offended. "Yeah, but you're a good rich person. You give willingly to the poor." Rin said.

"Be honest, do you like me for my money or my personality?" Godaiin asked jokingly.

".....Is it wrong if I say both?" Rin gave him a lopsided grin and he huffed out a laugh.

"No, it's not wrong. You gotta know where to get the goods in life. I say you got two birds with one stone." He told the half-demon. Rin smiled, the smile he only ever gave Godaiin, and the teen noticed he was holding Rin's hand already because of how close they were sitting

They sat there and stared. Stared at each other. Stared into each other.

Godaiin leaned forward and pressed his lips against Rin's. Rin closed his eyes like he'd been waiting for it and felt warmth blossom in his chest. It was a feeling he only ever got around Godaiin. A rush of warmth that had his cheeks heating and him smiling at the teen like he was the sun after a storm.

Godaiin pulled back and Rin sighed contentedly, moving forward to wrap his arms around the taller boy's waist and kiss him again. He enjoyed this. It felt nice. It was warm, it was sweet, and it was everything he wanted. He wanted to live for this.

"Date me." He demanded softly.

"Okay." Godaiin replied just as softly, pressing in to kiss him again. They sat there, just kissing and cuddling in the warm rays of the sun for a long time.

Rin may not have started with all the tools he'd need in life to live happily, but he'd learned how to accommodate them and even how to incorporate them into to his life enough to love someone. He loved his brother and he loved his friends and most of all, he loved his boyfriend.

As he and Godaiin shared another kiss, he put his middle finger up to the sky to flip off everything that held him back from anything he'd ever wanted.

Including those Demon Eaters who'd kidnapped and tortured him when he was six.

Yo, I'm not ready to let go of this story. It's my baby. But it's time. This baby needs to fly. I'm gonna miss writing the chapter for this. Until next time, guys.
