038: Touch
Billy jumped and pulled away form the arms he suddenly found around himself.
"Babe, it’s just me," Teddy assured him.
Billy sighed, relieved, and pressed into his touch.
"You’re still nervous," Teddy asked, understanding. He kissed Billy’s temple as the spellcaster nodded. "I’m sorry."
"It’s not your fault," Billy said.
"I should have been there."
"There was nothing you could have done. And I shouldn’t have gone that way. I knew better."
Teddy sighed, planting a tiny kiss on his forehead.
Billy leaned against him. The hands on his back reminded him of the lacerations concrete and asphalt could cause when one fell on them, and the bruises combat boots could leave.
The shapechanger dropped the argument and settled for just holding Billy instead.
