[Splash! Laboured water noises. Wetness on concrete noises.]

What?! Not -

[Fumbling for the device. Hiss of static.]

Oh. Oh my god. Billy?! How long have I been gone? Is he still in the hospital? Kate??

I can't believe -

...Teddy?

politehulk July 3 2009, 19:41:50 UTC

Billy! Are you okay? How long have I been gone?

repeatshimself July 3 2009, 19:43:22 UTC

Uh.

Almost two weeks.

politehulk July 3 2009, 19:45:40 UTC

Oh, shit.

Bill, I'm so sorry for leaving you in the hospital like that. You're okay now, right? You're better?

repeatshimself July 3 2009, 19:47:04 UTC

Yeah.

I'm okay now.

Are you home?

repeatshimself July 3 2009, 19:50:43 UTC

Yeah. My boss went home, so I've just been sort of bumming around the house.

politehulk July 3 2009, 19:51:58 UTC

I'll be there in a few minutes, okay?

repeatshimself July 3 2009, 19:52:34 UTC

Door's open.

Billy's mad at him. He's really sure Billy's mad at him. He has good right to be mad at him, Teddy was mad at Billy for a while when he left. But it still hurts. Hurts more than the fact that his phone is totally ruined, for sure. He'll do anything to make it better.

For now, he settles for letting himself in their apartment quietly and stripping off his soaking t-shirt.

Billy is mad. Mad that he can't control how mad he is, and that he really shouldn't be mad. He knows that Teddy didn't choose to disappear like that, randomly, and so maybe it's unfair that he feels so angry.

He wasn't in bed when Teddy showed up but now he is, lumped there under the covers. Maybe it's a way of hiding from the world. He's not sure.

The living room is empty and so is the kitchen, but Teddy has to take a deep breath and steel himself before looking into each. That leaves the bedroom and he's not entirely sure he can do that. He diverts into the bathroom first to hang up his shirt and take off the rest of his wet clothes. He carefully dries himself off and after a few mental mantras of "He's your boyfriend, you love each other, it wasn't your fault" he wraps the towel around his waist and enters the bedroom.

The Billylump in the middle of the bed isn't really very surprising. Teddy's sure that he's not asleep, but he's quiet anyways, pulling open a drawer and finding some underwear to pull on.

"Hey," he says finally.

Billy takes a deep breath when he hears Teddy moving around, and he curls just a little tighter into a ball. He's trying not to port out of the room - funny, that he had spent all week moping about how Teddy was gone and now he's here and Billy can't face him.

He hears Teddy's voice and he tugs on the covers a little. "Hey," he replies. "You okay?"

prodigal son returns politehulk July 3 2009, 20:20:09 UTC

Teddy creeps up towards the edge of the bed, but just hovers with his arms folded over his chest defensively.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

Pause. Of course he's okay.

"I'm sorry," he says again, ducking his head and waiting for a reaction.

prodigal son returns repeatshimself July 3 2009, 20:23:54 UTC

Billy pulls the covers up over his head, and looks at Teddy, for a moment, "Yeah, I know," he says, not quite words of forgiveness. "I know you didn't mean...."

He pauses.

"Why are you only wearing your underwear?"
