[Billy's gaze drifts upwards at that, catching sight of the sparkles, and he groans and buries his face against Teddy's shoulder. So much for looking better. He's kind of missing the sky now, though.]

Oh my god, kill me now. I've become Supernatural-canon Gabriel.

[...It is pretty spectacular to be able to kiss Teddy again, though, especially since he's spent the last several days wondering when he'll even see him again. His grip on Teddy is a little tighter now, despite the sorry state of his hands, and it isn't because of the altitude.]
selfhelp: ([billy] oh teddy. you doof.)

If I could fly that would mean I'm not...

[He trails off as he's finally coaxed into looking up, his eyes zeroing in on the horizon, taking in the sights: the mountains in the background, the visual kaleidoscope of spring colours in the wilderness below them, the lovely shades of the sunset in the distance. It's beautiful, all of it, and it feels like coming home, which hurts and heals at the same time. His complaints and embarrassment fizzle again, and he sighs quietly, resting his chin on Teddy's shoulder, feeling a wave of affection, nostalgia, and longing rush over him.]

...It's good to be home.

[Despite his cautionary words to Jane, one thing is undeniably true: Teddy is home for him. Here, like this, even on another world, he's where he belongs.]
selfhelp: ([billy] some serious thinking)

[Billy's content to just enjoy the quiet and the closeness until they're at the window, when he finally, reluctantly draws away to gingerly climb inside the apartment. Once he's in the kitchen and on his feet again, he steps away to give Teddy some room to join him, absently flexing his fingers a bit to give his body something to do- otherwise he feels like he might just launch himself forward and attach himself to Teddy again, and if he does that he's likely not to want to let go. Maybe later he'll feel justified in doing that, but there are things to be done and discussed first.]

[Billy winces despite Teddy's gentleness, but the motion isn't entirely due to pain, at least; he really does feel bad, however necessary it had felt to withhold the truth, and he follows Teddy to the apartment without complaint.]

Yeah... sorry for lying about it. I just- well, you know.

[Teddy had to understand; why else would he have kept silent about it while in Jane's presence? Billy knows how much he lucked out, though now he's sure that he'll be paying the price for it in little ways for the rest of the night.]

[Billy sits, the very picture of obedience - anything to keep himself out of the proverbial doghouse, okay - but still leans over to peer at Teddy and try to see what he's up to. His brows lift when he sees the supplies Teddy had ready, visibly surprised.]

You were practicing? [He pauses, another realization dawning in his mind.] ...In case I was hurt when I got back?

[That's... actually really touching, wow. Leave it to Teddy to keep his head clear and think ahead; Billy's pretty sure he'd have wasted the entire week angrily smacking his head against the barrier or something.]
selfhelp: ([billy] ...it's complicated)

[action, may 21st]

[personal profile] selfhelp 2013-05-29 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
...Well. Good for you, I'm glad.

[And that's the truth; he's proud of Teddy, his accomplishments and initiative. He made good use of his time, and now Billy gets to reap the benefits of it.

His smile is soft, watching Teddy work, though it's a bit sheepish at the question. His hands aren't that terrible, though they're dirty and a bit inflamed after going six days untreated in a crappy prison cell, so they don't look great, either. What's worse in his mind is the cause.]


Yeah, uh. Turns out that super-charging a robot with lightning right before it grabs you isn't a great idea. I should've just tried to zap them apart or something, but they got the jump on me.
selfhelp: ([billy] it's me. I'm the bad guy.)

[Since his hands are otherwise occupied, Billy leans forward and tilts his head to nuzzle it against Teddy's, his lips resting in the blond's hair for a long moment. He can tell by the tone that Teddy's not happy, and by his words, even if the mention of it had been brief, he can still recognize why. He'd feel the same way if their roles were reversed; he'd felt it before, after all, seeing Teddy get hurt or taken away and being helpless to prevent it.]

...Hey. It's okay, it's not your fault. I felt better knowing you were safe while I was there.

[Not that it felt great, getting locked up in some grimy science lab, but at least the last image of the village hadn't been Teddy fighting the bots, or lying unconscious somewhere, or worse.

He shudders briefly, wishing he'd pulled back beforehand, but too little too late. He should be focusing on the injuries, and Teddy's good work, not horrible what-ifs.]
selfhelp: ([billy] heh... idiot...)

[Billy indulges in the closeness for a long moment without responding, letting the touch of his boyfriend soothe his frayed nerves and give the bad memories a chance to settle. The touch is a reminder that he's back now, safe again, away from all of that. He's with Teddy, and Teddy can protect him, even from his own miserable head.]

...Mm, I don't know how many times I can handle you coming to my rescue and breaking me out of prison. I'll start feeling obligated to put on a pink dress and a crown. Oh, and dye my hair blonde.

[Because what better way is there to lighten the mood with Teddy than a video game reference?]
selfhelp: ([billy] it's official)

[It's Billy's turn to scoff, leaning back until he hits the tank, leaning against it at an awkward angle.]

I think I'd probably die laughing, so maybe we'd better refrain from doing that. Besides, Buffy said I'm way too cute to go blond.

[As mortifying as that word can be when associated with him, he knows that Teddy enjoys it.]
selfhelp: ([billy] i'm not wearing a dress tommy.)

Don't I know it.

[Seriously, he knows his skintone. It would look terrible.

He looks down now, spotting his hands and making a face. It's nice to see them clean - they'd looked much worse with days-old dirt caked on - but they're not pretty, either.]


Ugh, those better not scar. I don't want to be stuck with weird-looking fish hands.

[There goes his vanity again.]
selfhelp: ([billy] I'll text you)

She's actually- [Hiss, because ow,] A doctor. On the show. ...But you're way better looking, even excusing my personal bias.

[...Nice to hear, though, even if it's something he subconsciously knew. Teddy's stuck with him when he had a zombie leg, too, and when he was accidentally electrocuting teammates, and when he threatened to kill someone... yeah, Teddy's seen him at his worst already.]
selfhelp: ([billy] he's going to kill me for this.)

Ready as I'll ever be.

[His voice sounds about as enthusiastic as his words; he's glad to have his injuries treated properly, but he hates the process, at the same time. He'll just be glad to get it over with.

Sighing quietly, he ducks his head and closes his eyes, teeth clenched. He doesn't know how much it'll hurt, but it's better to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised.]


Okay, go ahead.
