[Billy stares for a prolonged moment- at Teddy, at where his hands are, at the way their bodies are pressed together. The trust, love, care, reliance that he finds... all of it are slowly weaseling their way through the shroud of doubt that's covered and overwhelmed him for a long time now, bit by bit, until he too starts to relax. His thumbs stroke gently against Teddy's skin, and then, carefully, he nudges and eases Teddy back again, sliding his hands to the blond's shoulders.]
Okay... then... I will be, too.
[He knows himself well enough to recognize that he wants this, too, even if he'll forever dance away from the word itself. He can be afraid of himself but still face that fear, still fight against it enough to share this with the one he loves. Teddy wants it. That means it can't be a bad thing.
He leans in to follow Teddy as he pushes, kissing him gently but briefly on the lips.]

Lie back. I'll get the stuff.
