No, definitely not a threesome. Wesley didn't have a death wish, even if he was already technically dead, and Faith and Lilah together would be too much for any man to handle. Still...it would be a hell of a way to go. As for laughing, it was something of a coping mechanism. He was fairly certain if he couldn't find humour in all the hell that they had to go through, he'd go completely mental. He imagined that he would be some dark, driven person...which wasn't far from the truth really...who was entirely focused on purpose without any drive to really live. He didn't want to take that road.
Wesley would never admit to that sort of rush, but the adrenaline and Faith's proximity (she was always amazing to watch in a fight) certainly weren't discouraging those sorts of thoughts. Still, he focused on fighting for the moment. One of the vampires got a hit in, but he wasn't bothered. If anything, it was another reminder that he could still feel. He was barely phased, pulling out a stake and stabbing it in the chest. He and Faith systematically and mercilessly wiped out the rest of the vampires in the crypt, watching each other's backs the whole time. It was easy to see they made a good team. He shot her a grin, leaning against the wall of the crypt. He'd have been breathing heavily if breathing were a necessity, and as it was, he was just dishevelled.
