But he's right. Feelings linger. He can't help growing an inch and making his shoulders get a little broader when he sees Tony around, especially if Billy's with him. He can't help wondering, "What if it happens again?" What if he just - goes crazy, starts locking people with powers away just because of who and what they are, what if he... hurts Billy again?
So, after considering, he lightly drums his fingers against Billy's neck.]
