[That action causes Teddy to stare ahead, at Misty, and he tries to hide his surprise as best as he can. Did Billy just... kiss him? During these past few weeks, Billy'd leaned on him, held him occasionally, but never... that. And never near his lips; that was an area Teddy felt like he should avoid, knowing how intimate it is, knowing how much his doubt is clouding over him.
He's not even sure what it means, and he's trying desperately not to let the hope building up grow too much. And it feels so wrong, thinking so heavily on a kiss from Billy, trying to push down whatever positive feelings he might have... He lifts his head up a little to look at Billy easier, hoping he can search his face and let it tell him everything, it used to be so easy...
But it's so hard now, because everything he thinks conflicts with each other. Instead, he lets them go by shutting his eyes, leaning in and pressing his lips against that same spot, the corner of Billy's mouth, light and brief, as if he too's afraid of rejection.

It's a start, a good start. A good day.]
