Billy, I mean this as kindly as possible... but please just shut up. You don't get to decide what's good enough for me -- and to me, you were amazing. You were the only thing I had left, and now I don't have that. I don't need to hear you weren't good enough constantly like it'll change my mind, and honestly, it's not my place anymore to tell you how wrong you are about yourself.

[And Billy has family still, a brother and a boyfriend... and Teddy is making new friends, sure, but no one will ever be Billy.

But Billy is a painful reminder right now and he can't just-- do the friendly thing.]

No. I don't want you to be with me because of obligation or because I want you to... and I damn sure don't want to feel like you're with me as a second choice. Like I said, I'm not getting what I want, so-- stop asking me what I'd prefer.

[He idly waves a hand, dismissive.]

Don't worry about it. I said I wanted to.
