It's 2031 when they tell him it's time, and somehow Eliot is still surprised. Alec's there, and Alice and their gorgeous kids are in the other room, and even if Sophie cried on the phone yesterday that doesn't mean that this is a bad thing. It's been a long time coming.
He shuts his eyes at seven fourty three in the evening, flinches against the tight pain as it constricts across his chest. Too much damage over too long a life to keep on keeping on. He would have laughed when he was younger, but he got to live the dream. He lived fast, and he died old enough to see his best friends' kids.
He opens his eyes again feeling lighter than he has for years. Limbs strong, joints pain free. He opens his eyes and stares straight into the eyes of another.
Nate smiles, knowingly. Eliot pretends there aren't tears in his eyes.
"I missed you."
"I was waiting."
