[Billy had thought of all of those risks and more before today, but now they're a million miles away. He knows that any time he starts to worry about them, all he'll have to do is think about the ring around his finger and he'll feel better. That's how it should be, right? The love of your partner should overcome any obstacle, it should support you in any of the doubts you might have. That's the point.
And for Teddy to have been thinking about this for god-knows how long... it's so touching, Billy's at a loss for words. When did it start? When did he begin to wonder about it? When did he get the ring? Was it before or after everything went to hell? If it was after, god...
He really does love me. He loves me, no matter what I've done, no matter how little I'd felt I deserved it before. He loves me...
He shivers, fingers curling in the material of Teddy's shirt, and when the words still don't find his voice he leans in for another kiss, softer this time, tender and loving, all the emotions he's feeling but can't describe. It's wonderful, Teddy's wonderful, the ring's wonderful, and just... the very idea of being married, whether it's tomorrow or next year or years from now, it's all wonderful. It's what he's dreamed about and more than he'd ever hoped for.]
