[there’s a lot of parks, which means Eddie will know that Billy’s poking around in his head to find him. in and out, before he’s rolling up on the bike.

he’s real surly looking, when he takes the helmet off. real absolutely miserable, but Eddie probably knows that too. ]
A park bench, really?

Scoot, [he says, but really it’s really just lifting Eddie’s feet to sit, then letting them fall across his lap. he squeezes an ankle. ]

Not that bad. He and Buckley sent me to get you. Apparently you left your phone.

[do you see this weary look? now they have to Talk About The Telepathy. ]

It was my fault. All of it, at this point.

[the mindlink. the fight. ]

What we’re gonna do is eat. I’ll drop you off. I’m gonna grab some more of my shit and just, stay at the studio.

[which he thinks will be easier, maybe, for everyone. ] It’ll be easier if he doesn’t have to see me for a while.

I don’t know if there’s a right way to spring this on anyone, you know? The guy who beat you half to death is into us, by the way, how about that.

[it’s stupid, in hindsight. ]

You guys have a good thing. Don’t - don’t fuck it up over this.

Food. We can talk about the ‘if’ over loaded fries.

[best friendzone mode activated.]

I’ll tell you all about how he literally held his door open and told me to get out. Don’t think I’ll ever recover from that one.

Live stream it straight to the brain of you gotta. We’re still - you know. You promised.

[best friends. god. he’s on, he’s got the helmet on, they’re going to be the reason Billy gets another traffic violation soon.

but yes: fries. a nice, greasy looking all American diner with loaded fries and skins. ]

[it’s reassuring. the fact that he wants to sink into Eddie’s arms is an issue to mope about later.

when they’re seated, Billy does the unthinkable and orders a coffee and poutine. sinks in the booth, texts Robin, and then drags his hands over his face. ]


Okay. Spill.

[personal profile] camarod 2022-09-01 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

[he sends a soft wave of comfort; warm, understanding. ]

Yeah. I’m guessing he doesn’t want space from you. [otherwise, Billy could be moping alone right now in his weird little sex studio. ] He probably just wants you to - you know. Be there.

[he thinks. probably. ] He was worried he wasn’t enough. For you. [before he kicked Billy out.] For some reason, can’t imagine why, I don’t think he wanted to hear that he was, from me.

That is the most romantic shit I’ve ever heard.

[half-smiling. ] Tell him that. He’ll love the part about your wrinkly dick not working.

[does this hurt? well, yeah. it’s not so different from the ache he’s been harboring for months, though. it’s not like Billy isn’t used to being disappointed, or second best. his own dad replaced him - this is a cake walk, practically. ]

You’ll figure it out, man. You’ll be back to being absolutely unbearable in no time.

[he listens; mouths throuple to himself like it’s a new word, but he’s quiet. he’s listening, understanding. it’s exhausting - he gets it. he lived with a man who took that insecurity to the extremes, and Steve isn’t that, but it’s.

is it a trigger? christ, maybe. he’s up before he really knows what’s doing. sliding in beside Eddie, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and holding tight. he doesn’t think about it when he presses a kiss to his temple. ]
I don’t care how good he is, or how much I care about him - but you make it fucking clear to him that he doesn’t get to make you feel guilty about who you’re close to.

[yeah, it might be a trigger. ]

[Billy doesn’t let go. keeps his arm tight, leans back to nod, to find some reassurance in Eddie’s tone. he shouldn’t project, he knows, but the possibility of it scares him. it’s his own personal ghost, really. it doesn’t leave. ]

Who knew cheating death would be this goddamn complicated, huh.

[ha. ]

No, no - we’d be fighting over him.

[rivals and all that. Billy would be the villain etc. ] Kind of falls apart if I’m trying to make out with you too.

Dude.

[he is projecting the whole memory. the hot chocolate, the attempt at tenderness, Steve straight up holding the door before following Billy out to yell some more. ]

You see. Might never recover from that rejection.
