AN: Having just watched the entire series in one go, I felt this had to be writen. Apologies in advance and thank you for reading.

"Just do one thing for me?... stop this... Stop being dead"

I watched you at my grave, watched as you fought with yourself - you're so natural, emotions.

I didn't need to hear the words, to know what you spoke.

What you would ask of me.

Oh John, if only I could for you...

I would.

You have no idea how much this charade pains me, to hurt the ones who matter most to me.

To hurt you...

But to keep you safe I must die.

One day... One day, my only friend... the truth will out.

One day I hope to have you by my side once more.

One day John...

One day.
