[ Teddy looks vaguely nervous on screen, fingers plucking at the hem of his t-shirt, the other holding his device up. He's sitting cross-legged on the floor of his apartment, clearly working himself up to ask about something. ]

I hear this is the done thing around here. I uhm - I need a job. [ He is totally at working age, okay? Totally. ] I don't have a resume, but I can tell you what I'm good at. I'm strong, I'd be good for manual labour. [ Damn, this is harder than he thought it would be. How does one even say I fight bad guys for a living, but I hear there's not so much of that here so a normal job for me. ] I'm okay with pest control, and I'm great in a crisis.

[ Pause. ] And I mowed lawns for a summer a few years ago too.

I'll pretty much do anything. Anything at all. I'd learn quick too. Thank you for your time.

[ And end feed because that was awful. ]

[ He smiles into the kiss, his hand pressing at the back of his neck. ]

I do, I really do. 'Til death do us part and all of that. [ Pausing. ] It's not too much, is it?

[lovesthecape]

It is never going to be too much for me. [Billy's voice is softy and on the edge of melt as he finds Teddy's eyes. Teddy's hand there does so much more than steady him.]

I can't imagine life without you T.

[awildhulkling]

I don't plan to ever make you figure it out.

[ He shifts enough to press his lips to Billy's, a quiet brush of his mouth, happy and content in this moment. Life isn't the same and he doubts it ever will be, but they've lost too much and he's not losing Billy too. ]

[Billy deepens the kiss for a moment with a yearning to never leave him. When he pulls back he curls his fingers contentedly into Teddy's top.]

I wish we could get paid to sit here like this.

[awildhulkling]

Me too. [ He smiles at him again, moving in to brush his lips against the corner of Billy's. ]

I hate reality.
