who: Closed to Billy
what: Working some things out
when: The beginning of the month, mid-afternoon
where: A milkshake shop
warnings: teenage angst?
[It's been over a month since he really talked to Billy. They've had quick chats, just friendly ones here and there, like they used to have back when they were only just starting to get to know each other. It hasn't been bad, exactly; Billy's still one of the few people who's ever understood him, still his best friend. It just hasn't been good, either, when he has to bottle up his feelings again. He misses his boyfriend.
So although it takes him a lot of courage, he texts Billy, asking him to meet up. He even asks for the address of the milkshake place Billy said they could go to, although that could backfire. He isn't expecting things to be the same, but it would be nice to just- go out with Billy again, without having to watch his words so much. Be affectionate, sometimes.
He makes sure he's there waiting, a few minutes earlier than the time he told Billy, so he can at least have his milkshake already, something to hold onto and keep his hands busy.]
Hey...
[He offers Billy a very small smile, uncertain.]

[He gives a smile, a little bit easier. He doesn't think he's always the best for Teddy, even now, but--
Teddy wants him and he wants to be with Teddy. What's the harm in dating a bit? It's not like there's a crazy age difference, at least. He kicks at him playfully under the table.]
Okay, Teddy Altman, let's lighten up the conversation or find something fun to do. This is a date now, right?
no subject
I want it to be a date if you do too.
[And even if Billy is a couple years older, dates are still for getting to know each other, right?]
What do you want to do, anyway?

[He gives a thoughtful hum as he leans forward, resting an elbow against the table.]
I don't really know. We could take a walk or go look around the shops a bit... anything you've been wanting to do, T?
no subject
[He leans forward too, mirroring the gesture to be just a little bit closer.]
Although as long as I get to hold your hand, I don't mind where we go. I just missed you, that's all.

[He gives a short smile.]
I missed you too, T. And all your sap. So, want to head out?
