While Wesley packed and he and Angel returned to the Hyperion, Cordy drove as fast as possible back to Sunnydale. She could feel that Will was hurting, but she felt helpless to stop his pain. During her time with the Powers he had never crossed her mind. She'd been so focused on her visions that she ignored everything else in the world. That was part of the reason they'd allowed her to leave. She wasn't much use to them when she couldn't focus on the job.

Wesley prepared Angel's bedroom for Will's return, lighting candles and burning incense and purifying the room. And then he and Angel sat and waited in silence for Cordy and Will. When Cordy pulled into the garage to park the car, she found Angel and Wesley in the doorway. Will was curled up in the passenger seat staring off into space. Angel opened his door, lifted him from the car, and carried him up to their suite with Wesley and Cordelia following him.

Angel placed Will on the bed and tried to get his attention, but it was useless. "Let me, Angel." Wesley said.

Angel turned to Wes and nodded. "Help him, Wes. Please?" he whispered against the man's lips as he kissed him.

"Of course, I will. It will all be better soon, I promise. If you two could leave us, please?"

Angel and Cordy both left the room. As soon as they were out the door, Cordelia turned to Angel. "What is going on?"

"What?" Angel was so focused on Will he wasn't sure what she was talking about.

"You and I need to talk, now. Downstairs." Her voice was demanding and Angel immediately knew that he was in trouble. He guessed that her senses were picking up something between him and Wesley. *She's going to figure it out eventually, might as well clear things up now.*

As soon as they got down the lobby, Cordelia attacked. "What the hell are you doing, Angel? Are you fucking _Wesley_ now?" She glared at him but he didn't answer. "What about Will? I thought you two were together now. Or was that just yesterday's excuse for forgetting about _us_?" She spat out.

"Will and I are mated, Cordy. There's nothing that could separate us. Nothing but death." His voice was calm and matter-of-fact as he said this.

Cordelia just stared at him. *Mated? When?*

When she didn't respond to his last comment, he added, "And what I do with Wes is of no concern to you." That comment broke her out of her shocked silence. "Of no concern?! Fuck you, Angel. You didn't watch him living in misery for two months. _You_ didn't watch him scar his wrists to match the one on his throat. _You_ didn't have to see him fucking Lilah and getting drunk until he passed out."
She ground out her words and stared at him accusingly. "You have no _idea_ what you could be doing to him now."

Angel was shocked by her words. He and Wesley had talked and Wes had told him about the self-destructive behavior of the last few months. But how did Cordelia know about this? "What are you talking about? How--?"

"My powers, Angel. When I was gone I saw everything. Remember how much it hurt when you were being tortured in hell?" Angel nodded. "Well imagine that again -- only double it because you're both the recipient _and_ the source." Angel winced at the thought. "He _loves_ you Angel and if you hurt him, he won't survive it. He feels bad enough about everything that happened with Connor. If you want revenge, get it some other way. Don't play with his heart."

"I'm not playing, Cordy--" He wanted to explain that he _knew_ what Wesley felt, that they had talked, but Cordelia cut him off again.

"Angel. I know you care about him. I know what your thoughts were when you were at the bottom of the ocean." Angel's eyes grew wide at the revelation. "That's why I wasn't surprised about you and Will. I knew I wasn't the only one you had feelings for, but ... And what about Will? What's he going to think? If you two are _mated_ and you're chasing after someone else? That's not fair to him, Angel."

Angel couldn't listen to anymore. Yes, she knew a lot, but she didn't know everything. She didn't know what had happened overnight while she was with Will. "Cordy! Will you just shut up and listen to me for a second? I'm not going to hurt Will or Wes.... I _love_ both of them... I _need_ both of them... and I've _told_ both of them. They're both here by choice. Things with Wes ... we talked a lot -- all night, I know he's hurting, I know what he's done and I know why. We're taking things slow." Angel's voice softened as he continued, "All three of us need to heal, but we need each other in order to do so." He paused and forced her to make eye contact. "Why did you suggest Wesley as someone to help Will? Surely, Lorne could have found someone through all his contacts. Why Wes?"

Cordy just stared at him for a moment. "I thought they'd be good for each other. Will needed help. Wes needs a purpose again. A reason to live. And ... I just ... shit."

"What?"

"I felt a connection."

"A connection?" he was confused, that wasn't the answer he was expecting.

"My powers... my demon senses... whatever I am now, I just feel some things," she mumbled. "It's meant to be." They both stood silently facing each other. "It's all meant to be and I was too blind to see it," she said as she sat down and began to cry.

Upstairs

It hadn't take Wesley very long to get Will to relax and fall into a deep sleep. Angel had sat Will on the edge of the bed and then exited with Cordy, leaving Wesley to take care of his mate. *His mate. Angel says he wants me here, but with Will as his mate, what real place can I ever expect to hold?*

Wesley knelt on the floor in front ill ill and clasped the vampire's hands in his own. He looked up into Will's eyes. "Will? It's me, Wes. You don't have to be afraid anymore. Are you in your safe room with your protector?"

Will didn't speak, but he slowly nodded his head in response to Wesley's question.

"That's good, but it's time to come back now. Can you come back to me?"

Wesley watched Will's eyes as they slowly became more clear. Will came back to the world and found himself sitting on Angel's bed with Wesley kneeling before him. "Wes? What are you doing here?" he asked with confusion in his voice.

"Do you remember what happened, Will?"

"Yeah, Angel went to see you and I was bored. Cordelia and I went up to Sunnydale and ... oh ... I saw Buffy." As he remembered his encounter with Buffy, Will suddenly got a look of horror on his face. Wesley could sense the vampire pulling away mentally.

"Will. Stay here with me, Will. Look in my eyes." Will looked at him. "That's good. Concentrate on me, on my eyes, on my heartbeat." He paused while Will got his emotions under control again. "Better?"

Will nodded.

"Do you remember Cordy bringing you here?"

"Yeah ... we came in the car ... You and Angel ... you were in the garage waiting for us?"

"That's correct. Angel brought you upstairs and now here we are." Wesley smiled. "You look tired. Perhaps you should get some sleep and we can talk about what happened in Sunnydale tomorrow. Okay?"

Will nodded and kicked off his shoes. Wesley stood and started to walk away so that Will could undress and go to sleep. "Don't go," whispered Will. "Please?"

Wesley stopped and nodded, but didn't turn back to face Will.

"Did Angel talk to you? Is that why you're hear?"

Wesley hesitated. Why, he wasn't sure. He and Angel had talked for hours, he knew that Will was the reason Angel had finally come to see him. "Yes ... we spoke. I'm here because he asked me to come." Pause. "And I'm here for you."

"Are you here for good?" Their was an uncertainty underlying Will's question. Wesley sensed the insecurity the vampire was feeling. It was different than Angel's fear, but no less real.

"I'm here for now." Pause. "For as long as I am needed ... as long as I'm wanted." Wesley slowly turned around and saw that Will was standing naked next to the bed.

"Wes?" a hesitant voice asked.

Wesley was struck dumb by the sight before him. *He's so beautiful.*

"Stay with me until I fall asleep?" Will asked as he pulled back the covers and climbed into the bed.

Wesley nodded and slowly moved towards the bed. He toed off his shoes and sat at the foot of the bed staring at Will; the two stared into each others' eyes. Will silently implored Wesley to move up the bed and lie beside him.

Wesley responded to the unvoiced request and moved up the bed to Will's side. Will turned onto his side away from Wesley who curled up behind the vampire and held him to his chest. Wes gently ran his fingers through Will's hair as they both drifted off to sleep.

Not long afterward Angel returned to the suite to find the two men he loved curled up together. He hesitated a moment, worried about disturbing them, but his desire to be with them won out. He gently lifted Wes and placed him under the covers back in the middle of the bed where he'd been. He wanted to undress the man, but knew that Wesley would be freaked out waking up between the two vampires with his clothes _on_. There was no telling what he would think if he awoke to find himself naked, knowing he hadn't lain down that way. Angel undressed and put on pajama pants before crawling into bed and curling up behind Wes. He stretched his arm out across him to rest it on Will's hip and drifted to sleep feeling at peace. *This is home.*
