[This isn't something he can really understand, of course, not on the level that he might be most effective- his mothers are still alive and well (for which he is endlessly grateful), and he never celebrated the holidays like this, with presents and baking sweet things together. His Christmases had always been filled with Chinese food and movie theaters, his father's homemade latkes and his brothers singing the dreidel song until he wanted to punch them because it's the only one they could remember. There was no mistletoe or evergreen trees in the living room or tinsel everywhere.
He's so very, very out of his league.
Still, he wants to do whatever he can for Teddy; it hurts to see him in so much pain, even though he thinks that it's good for him to let it out sometimes, to cry for her and let himself feel it. It's not good to just bury it and have it simmer under the surface all the time. He kisses the corners of Teddy's lips, using his thumbs to brush aside the fallen tears, then wraps his arms around Teddy's shoulders, holding him close, his hand sliding up through the blond's hair. He's already covered in flour, so he doesn't care about that; all he wants is to be as close as Teddy needs him to be, to offer as much comfort as he can as long as Teddy's enduring this pain.]
It's different... I know. It's so hard to miss them in times like this. But she'd be so proud of you, Teddy...
