The moment it starts, Teddy frowns and blinks and moves his hands to touch Billy's forearms instead, because he is sure this isn't how to tell if someone needs medical attention. Of course, he should've known with the straddling, but jeez.
It takes Teddy a moment to realize what Billy's really talking about here. And he seems to look resigned as a result, and a bit guilty. The reason why he hides things like that, especially what he was thinking earlier, is because he knows it's nothing to worry about. He knows it and Billy knows it, so why bother anyone with it? You only hear about these kinds of things in girls who cry to their friends in high school about their boys and what they fear the most.
And it... didn't even used to be so bad. It was after Teddy's image of himself, already so fragile, was kicked out from under him by Kl'rt and the Kree army, rendering him from having a small sense of belonging to none at all. After that, it seemed to bleed into everything else, too, despite how much Teddy tried to stop it and didn't want it.
It's been easier, better, thanks to his friends, thank to being a hero, and thanks to his boyfriend. But it still causes problems sometimes, such as right now.
Once Billy finally stops abusing his face, Teddy averts his gaze to look down at his chest instead, his hands still touching Billy's arms. Caught, of course. Billy's gotten good at telling if something's wrong.]
Mmm. It must be serious if it isn't natural.
Then what kind of diagnosis would you give, Doctor Kaplan?
