Mmhmm. [Teddy desperately needs this, holding the love of his life and reveling in the affection and love that comes from afterglow. He needs it like a thirsty man needs water, and he certainly takes his time to drink it up.
It's not just because this feels wonderful; it's Billy, right there and holding him and nuzzling against him and pressing closer despite Teddy's weird shifting that makes this so important. There were so many things he worried about, still worries about, regarding him and them and what's genuine and what isn't. This? This makes those worries disappear, makes the monsters seem less threatening with each tender caress and touch, each word of love and admiration that Billy gives him.
Teddy needs this, and so he relishes in it, breathes it in and soaks in their shared heat.]
You think we can do that again? Later, I mean. After we're springed out. [And maybe tomorrow, when they celebrate their anniversary for real, they can...]
