[The way Teddy continues the story without pause makes Billy smile- like that moment had made an impression on him just as much as it had on Billy himself. He'd been terrified, flailing and frantically chanting in mid-air to try and regain his focus, but inwardly all he could think was how he was going to die, not as a super hero but yet another stupid teenager being reckless, nothing more. But then...
...then, he'd been stopped before he hit the ground, caught and cradled in a pair of massive green arms, a shifted yet familiar face staring worriedly down at him. He'd been dazed from more than just the fall, he can remember. And that had been the first time he'd been held by someone so much larger than him and not felt afraid.]

[He rubs his thumb idly over the hard material of Teddy's hand, marveling at how different it felt from the skin of a normal human. That Teddy can do this so effortlessly is just- amazing. His eyes open, then, focusing on their joined hands, the contrast of white and green, human and alien, Billy and Teddy.]
