Prologe:
Angel holds him in his arms as they lie on the bed. He can't believe that this is happening . His lover, his soulmate, his Wesley was dying. Always putting others before himself. He pushed Fred out of they way when the sarcophagus opened and the dust came seeping out of it. He only wanted to protect Fred, to make sure that she didn't get hurt. Now Angel lies here on the bed holding Wes, knowing that there is nothing that he can do for him. All he wants is to take the sarcophagus back to were it came from but killing thousand s of innocents to save he, Wes would never forgive Angel for that.
Angel is broken out of his thoughts buy the gentle touch of Wes' hand on his cheek. Wes smiles at him, looking into the brown eyes that captured his heart and soul 5 years ago. He remembers the first kiss they shared, the first time they made love and the first time Angel said ' I love you '. Part of him is angry that he'll never see Angel achieve his Shansu, that they'll never be able to walk in the sun together or grow old together.
Wes starts to caugh and Angel holds him tigher. Stroking Angel's cheek, Wesley looks at him and says with hitched breath,"W-Why can't I stay?" And with that Wesley takes his last breath and dies in Angel's arms.
