Right. When you changed that day... I was really happy. I got to meet the real you face to face, and you know what?
[He ducks his head again, resting his chin against Teddy's hair and giving it an affectionate nuzzle.]
I really liked you. The way you smiled and shook my hand? It was so earnest and real... I was crushing on you before, sure, but I think that was the day I first started to fall for you.
[There'd been such hesitance in him, so much reluctance beforehand. And to have his appearance acknowledged, accepted, embraced, even. The relief and joy had made it the most beautiful face Billy had ever seen. And it's that honesty that has him coming back every time- because for all that his magic can change the world, for all that Teddy can change himself, when they're together, it's all real.
And he loves it. He'll always love it.]
Teddy... you know why I'm telling you this, right?
