Well, you are in a rather different situation than I in that regard as well. [Because when Billy goes home, presumably it will be to Teddy. When Loki goes home well... it'll just be prison and a return to his long-term game.

He no longer finds the prospect quite as thrilling as it once was. Maybe he's had too many people force him to explain just why he wants to rule Asgard.]

There is that, I suppose.

[Though presumably if they go back to their respective worlds, they'll both be a bit busy and quite possibly dead at the end of it. That's a cheerful thought.]

I'd planned to after we were finished here, actually.

Another of your made up words. Right.

[He laughs.] One would hope I shan't need luck. But my thanks.

[Teddy had decided to give everyone a couple of days to figure out how to expel the spirits from the possessed individuals before doing something himself. Near evening of the first, he'd looked over discussions, looked outside, and saw everyone still puzzling. Nothing new happened, although further conversation had been made. There wasn't a cure yet, no solution, nothing to try.

Nothing for everyone else, anyway. He had an idea, though it made the spirit within him restless. Part of the reason she possessed him was to keep him safe, after all, and this could be deadly.

Teddy himself isn't thinking of danger or caution or anything. He thinks this will work, it has to work. If they don't expel the spirits, particularly Twila soon, then there might be some killing going on. And he can't allow that to happen, especially not to Billy.

The second day is here, and Teddy is going through with what he planned.

He's with Billy now, watching whatever he does, and is quiet for a long moment. With a long sigh, he finally speaks up.]


Billy?

[Teddy had noticed Billy trying to recreate the act of osmosis with him, and though he'd usually move away, he doesn't this time. This is part of his plan too, for Billy to be this close to him. Nothing too draining has happened yet, but he has a feeling that's about to change.

Nala stirs restlessly from within, but he ignores it. Instead, he moves his hand down to lift the book away, taking Billy's attention away from it.]


You do still want Twila out of you, right? And tell me as Billy, not Twila. You're the one who called her a sociopath. Do you really want that still possessing you?

And if we don't have a cure, they could start killing people. And here we are sitting here, reading books... doing what we shouldn't be doing.

[Teddy sets the book aside, then rests his arm over Billy's shoulder lightly for now, yet ready to tighten.]

I don't want to wait until the Malnosso get too impatient. I don't want Nala to make me heal too much. I don't want Twila to make you think all of this is okay. I won't let her - him do that, Billy.
halfnhalf: ([teddy] just you)

[Action, June 1st] 1/2

[personal profile] halfnhalf 2013-06-04 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
I do, actually.

[Now, his arm tightens around Billy's shoulders, and he shifts to face him better. Normally, he'd never hold him so tightly that Billy couldn't escape, but he's doing so now. Better to keep him here and actually go through with this plan than to have him get away and not have another chance at this.

Just one chance, that's all he has.]


I need you to work with me, Billy. Help me be the team that we always have been. I told you we'd fix this... so let's fix this.

[He lets out another sigh, then reaches his free hand to stroke his fingers lightly against Billy's cheek.]

Twila. I'm not going to stop until you get out of him, okay? Or... until you're done with me.

[Then he places his hand fully against Billy's cheek, making him turn his head until he's facing Teddy again, and -

And Teddy smiles, and it's warm and loving and open.]


I love you, Billy.

So help me.

[And with that, he leans in to kiss him. Parts his lips, kissing him like he's been wanting to for so long now, the perfect way to draw energy out.

In fact, he feels it happening already. He wants to draw back so badly, and he knows that's Nala, knows that the both of them -

But he holds on still.]
halfnhalf: ([&billy] you're all i have left)

[Action, June 1st]

[personal profile] halfnhalf 2013-06-04 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[But is it really fine?

Teddy can feel his energy draining by the second. He didn't have much left thanks to Nala making him heal everything he could see, which was why he planted himself on the couch in the first place, and now the last of it is being drained. He doesn't know what will happen once it's all gone - would this kill him?

He's not thinking that far ahead, though. He's freezing, and the hand against Billy's cheek trembles both from that and the lack of energy he's feeling. His limbs hurt, his very core hurts, and Nala's panic is making his wings turn even whiter than before, as white as Billy's wings are dark. She's trying to fully take him over.

But he presses himself further into the kiss, frowns, and pushes the spirit away as much as he can. He needs to do this, no matter the outcome.]

[When Billy breaks the kiss, Teddy keeps his eyes shut while he takes in deep breaths, as if he can't get enough air. And he keeps shivering - Teddy's never minded the cold so much, seeing how Billy's told him several times that he's like some kind of warm-blooded furnace. Which just makes cuddling with Billy all the better, heat and cold becoming warm, something intimate and something precious.

This is a different kind of cold. It's right down to his bones, making him feel stiff, like darkness itself is covering him. There's some warmth left; it's Nala, right there in the cavity of his chest and in the base of his wings, shining and radiant with her own energy. His wings are spread, Nala's doing, and his shoulders are set with the effort it takes to fight her, to resist the incredibly powerful urge to flap his wings down just once, just enough to take him away from this, from the chill, from Billy.

But he clings onto the memories they have, of them lying entwined together without a care in the world, looking into each other's eyes and getting lost within earth and sky without fearing the other getting closer. Hands entwining without thinking that they should stop soon. Kissing, holding each other and making love without thinking that it's the worst idea in the world.

It's what makes him keep holding on, and it's what makes him take a deep breath, lift his head and open his eyes.]


Billy... you can. You - You can do this. We can.

[And though right now it feels like the last thing in the world he wants to do, Teddy leans in again and places his lips over Billy's once more, dives right into that cold darkness, because he's a stupid teenage boy who's desperately in love.

And love is worth fighting for.]

[The kiss breaks again, and this time, Teddy doesn't have the will nor the strength to try again. He's so tired, and all he wants to do is just... fall back and let go and sleep.

But he's so close... Billy is so close. And he can't - he won't give up until Twila's let go of Billy. Even if it breaks him from the inside and out, so be it, if it means that it lets go of Billy. If it means saving him...

"Love is worth fighting for. Such devotion... surely, I..."

Teddy keeps his eyes shut again, his whole body feeling unsteady due to the world feeling like it's spinning out from under him. But he keeps enough of a hold on himself enough to lower his head, pressing his lips to the back of Billy's head, and move his arms, which feel like they weigh a ton, and wrap them around his lover until he's holding him close.]


You got this... [He murmurs it against his hair, just a whisper and soft brushes of his lips. He's not sure if he can be louder than that.]
halfnhalf: ([&billy] maybe we'll be everything)

[At first, Teddy can barely hear a word, can barely feel Billy's touch in his hands, what with the world seeming far away right now in a tangled foggy web. He's the one who jumped into that web, and though he tries desperately to push back through it, he can't right now. He leans hard against Billy, hands limp in the other's, and nearly loses his grip on everything right there.

But there's a bright light beneath his lids, and then he feels blessed warmth spread up his arms and to his chest. It's like his own blood is coming back to life, flowing once again and pushing away the biting cold. And from within that foggy haze in his head, a familiar wisp of blue reaches out to him, and when he can't reach out for it, it takes his hand instead and guides him back.

We got this.

His head lifts up again, and his hands grip Billy's once before shifting, moving until they're entwined with Billy's fingers instead. He knows exactly what to do. And he's tired of waiting for Billy to do this himself, when the answer all along wasn't to keep encouraging him to push it out himself, but to take his hands and help.

He lowers his head to press his forehead against Billy's, a little smile on his face as he feels Nala stir within him again. She spreads through his body and lights up his hands with a glow of their own, matching Billy's blue light, and for once, Teddy doesn't try to fight it. He uses her strength, just as he's using Billy's strength, and his own.]


We want it to go back. We want it to go back, wewantittogobackwewantittogobackwewantittogoback...

[Teddy has no power of will like Billy. But they have each other, their own power which they both rely on, both compliment, both support and give and take and love. He has this.]
