[His tone is gentle, though; he says it out of concern, not to accuse or reject Teddy for it. He really wants to go to him, to reach out and pull him close and soothe his worries, but this is the first time Teddy's actually chosen to separate himself and put some distance between them without freaking out about it, so Billy's taking it as a good sign. Right now it seems like he needs logic, calm discussion, a chance to express himself without worrying about how Billy feels. Until that changes, he'll stay put.]
Someone's messing with your head, T. Making you imagine dangers that don't exist. Yesterday you couldn't even dance with Katniss at her sister's birthday... were you scared that I'd get upset at you for it?
[It's not like he's ever been jealous- Teddy's honestly never given him a reason to feel that way. He's never met anyone more devoted to their partner.]
