A muffled, pained noise escapes Billy's lips, and he moves, closing the distance between them in two long strides. He lifts his hands to touch Teddy's face, risking a rejection because he can't, he can't just stand there and watch him cry like this. He wipes at Teddy's tears, fingers brushing over his cheeks, then tries to draw him into a gentle but insistent hug, something he's been aching to do since even before the fight. His heart is pounding, and he's crying now, too; he's so afraid of what Teddy might do, but... they both need this, he's certain of it. Otherwise they'll just keep hurting, and as a result, hurt one another.
We can't do this alone anymore. Not him, or me... that's not how we're supposed to be.
This is reality. And it's the only reality I could ever need.]
