[Teddy does remember. Or, at least, right then he does. Everything he told him warmed him from his chest to his fingers and toes, and it's the reason why he kept reading that book, tried practicing on a pillow, and to this day wonders if he should talk to people who actually know what they're doing. Now it's all the more real, all the risks and everything that comes with it.
And maybe... if he can't trust himself right now, maybe Billy can, and maybe Teddy can believe in that. Believe in me who believes in you and all that. Heh.
So he allows the tension in his body to relax, and he lets his large hand slide down Billy's back to caress his hip, then his thigh, and then just before the back of his knee. Even now, he can tell how thick the spandex is, knows just the right way to break through that and not Billy's skin, but he'd only do so if Billy told him to. This thing they're about to do - it will take so much trust, and it'll be such a two-way street of communication and care.]

You still amaze me a lot, you know that?
