[Teddy can already tell he doesn't like this. The way Billy's warning him in advance, how tense his hands are - Those aren't good signs. And it's making a knot in Teddy's chest that starts to leave him weak and paralyzed, as much as he wants to push it down.
But Billy hasn't even said what he wanted to say yet. Maybe he's just being paranoid, maybe he's looking too deeply, maybe - Whatever, Billy's already scared, and Teddy doesn't want him to be scared of him or how he might react, ever.
Despite his own growing fear, Teddy strokes his thumbs against Billy's hands, trying to soothe him from whatever's shaking him. He tries not to let his worries show on his face, but he can't help the frown, as if his suspicion is buried under denial.]
