Summary: NFA a first kiss. Last one for now...

The rain wouldn't let up; it soaked through clothing already torn apart by hundreds of weapons and claws.  It washed away the blood as fast as it poured out of too many wounds.  His blood, his life force seeping away too fast to stop.
 
It was too late anyway too late for all of them.  Wesley never made it; Gunn had fallen not long after they arrived.  Illyria vanished under a large pile of demons and did not resurfaced.
 
Angel had taken on the dragon like he wanted but the dragon had won and Angel had fallen.  Fallen from the sky, you would have thought you could have heard him hit the ground but the rain took that away too.
 
And now Spike was left watching what was left of Angel fade away.  It didn't matter really though as they only had a few moments before a thousand more overwhelmed them and it was over for them all.
 
It didn't matter what they hadn't said, what he had planned to say when there was time.  Now there was no time left but for one more thing, one thing he didn't want to regret missing.
 
"Angel," Spike called the dark vampire back to consciousness.  Brown eyes opened weakly and looked up into blue, "we haven't got much time left."
 
"I'm sorry," Angel choked out, "it was a dumb plan."
 
Spike laughed weakly and then sobered, "don't be it had to be done," he brushed the rain out of Angel's face, "I'm gonna do this before I lose my nerve and it's too late."
 
Leaning down rain soaked lips pressed against blood stained ones. 
 
One hundred years of history between them, so many events and people involved but they didn't matter now.
 
What mattered were two pairs of cold lips sharing one last moment, one new moment before it was time to fade away.
