[It's true that it wasn't all for him- he knows that. Teddy's always kept his issues pretty close to his chest. But in the past, Billy's never been afraid to ask about them, and Teddy didn't hesitate as much about sharing them with someone he trusts, which is why he even knows stuff like Greg in the first place. But this? He didn't ask. So Teddy didn't speak up.
He wants to take responsibility for that.
Billy is immediately grateful when Teddy doesn't protest, though it's also concerning; it shows how badly Teddy needs this. Obeying the blond's silent request, he remains close, winding his arms around Teddy's shoulders and tugging him against his own body, fingers still sliding through his hair soothingly. He brushes his lips against Teddy's forehead, voice dropping to a murmur.]
Anywhere. With anything. Whatever you need to say... I'm here. I'm listening.
[Even if it takes all night, or even if he never says anything at all. Even if he just needs to be held.

He's not going anywhere this time.]
