[Action/Written]
[Billy has never thought of himself as one of those obsessive stalker boyfriends who needs to be attached at the hip to his significant other at all times. Really, he'd always figured they were pretty good about mutual space. A two-month separation with the potential of spending years in this place without seeing Teddy again is, however, apparently the trigger he'd needed to become one, so after one too many looks from Teddy - some patient, others not so much - he'd officially gotten himself banished from the apartment for the afternoon after too much worried lurking. Which is... not the greatest thing ever on a hot day like today, but ten minutes down the road he realizes that, yeah, he'd been a little ridiculous, either blowing off his responsibilities or dragging Teddy along for the ride. He's happy and eager to have Teddy here, but they'd lived separate lives at least half the time back home; no reason for that to not continue here as well.
It's just hard to let go after you've missed someone for that long.
Still, that's how he finds himself out and about for around five hours today, doing the following (in no particular order):
- a late lunch at Seventh Heaven
- searching around the library for comic books
- combat practice in the Battle Dome (with or without his trusty new teacher)
While at the library, a few sketches find their way into his journal, more or less like the following: this, this, and this. Some time afterwards, a scribbled message appears below.]
What are some good ways to deal with bad dreams?
[Once he's finished all his daily stuff, he'll be bringing groceries home around dinner time, in the hopes that he's allowed. Feel free to run into him at any time.]

[It's a little vain, but he likes being
ridiculouslyreasonably good-looking. He could've ended up with traits from Mephisto or Vision and how awkward would that be?][action]
[It's obvious to Teddy, at least, and he returns that nuzzle while sliding that hand around to trail down his back again. He always feels this sense of love and pride when Billy listens to him on important issues such as this, and this one in particular is extremely important.]
But I have to say, I'm glad you got all the good looks whoever's in your family had to offer.
[action]
[Billy sets free a soft, somewhat relaxed sigh, though, sliding down just enough to press his body against Teddy's, his head pillowed on the blond's chest, smiling faintly.]
I'm glad you feel that way, though. We make a pretty nice match.
[action]
[Look at Kate and Eli. Or Tommy. And Vision and Cassie. Compared to their love lives, Billy and Teddy are pretty much the most well-adjusted out of all of them combined. Even some adult relationships don't seem to have it together.
Teddy's pretty sure he's a part of something wonderful with Billy. And he'd rather not lose that for as long as he lives.]
[action]
[Billy tilts his head just enough to press his lips against Teddy's jawline, letting the contact linger- less driven by desire or sex or anything needy this time. Just affection. Just love.]
...Thanks, T.
[He really does feel better.]
[action]
[Teddy lets his actions speak for themselves; he brushes Billy's hair behind his ear, follows the shell, then traces the back of his fingers along his jawline.
He's happy Billy's feeling better. And he'll always be here whether he needs him or not.]
