Well... There's no one else I'd rather be stuck with.
[And it's true, absolutely, even if he can feel himself approaching that line they arrived at several times before in the past few months, more and more so recently. Those same walls that hold Billy back also stop Teddy, the thought that they're both too young, not mature enough, not ready, that this is ridiculous, that they should wait until they're actually home in New York, that Billy might say no...
How many times did they steal glances at each other during the ceremony, only to hold hands once they caught each other? How many times have they been at that line, just waiting to step over it and see where it takes them?
Still... tonight is not the night. This is Tony and Pepper's night, and how tacky would it be to steal it away from them? Extremely tacky, especially if the main couple of the night got wind of it.
So Teddy steps away from it again, a promise echoing in his head that he'll do it, for sure, some other time. Besides, he'd rather ask while Billy's completely sober; Teddy's sure he's only a little tipsy, but it's too important for even that much.]
I mean, who else would get what it means to be a Phoenix and an Edgeworth?
