[ his voicemail greeting is just a guitar riff ]

Not all of you should be though, is the thing.

[there is a returning thing: it's bedsheets that smell like floral tones and fresh air. a little like sea salt, warm and safe, and then cold, empty and slightly stale. there's the feeling of missing the sea salt, of missing arms around him, of soft singing. these are all Billy's private things - things that are his. he's making a point.

but then Eddie is close, and Billy feels that other kind of warmth. the relief, the fondness. ]

You're worried about your ugly parts? Eddie, look at who you're talking to.

[he's all ugly parts, more or less: hurt; angry; slightly bitter. ] We'll figure it out, man. Eventually.

[it's so juvenile, how he wants to curl up now. like that's something you do with your friends, put your head in their lap to feel close to them, or wrap your arms around them to feel the anchor of being alive. ]

- Thanks. Thanks for - this.

[his head goes temple to shoulder. it feels, somehow, more intimate than having been in Eddie's head. ]

Your generous friend sounds exhausting. But he's fine. More or less.

[generous. ha. ] If I start growing tentacles, you promise to take me out?

Appreciate it, killer.

[that's a relief too. ] I wonder how close I gotta be to be like, in your head.

I guess we test it out when I drive back home?

[and - okay, yes. a use for it. and if - if it's safe, he wonders if Eddie could just, piggyback off of him to connect with others? hm. ]

I don't know what's worse, though - those goddamn walkie talkies, or having a bunch of us in your head.

ABBA’s so fucking depressing dude. Those lyrics? Yeesh.

[this is comfortable. Eddie’s shoulder is a little bony, a little awkward at this angle, but it’s comfortable with him also just there at the edge of his consciousness. a flickering little neighbour that feels like safety.

it’s real fucking novel, if he’s honest. he’s never felt safe before. let’s that one slip out before he can contain it. ]


I bet he’d like the Stones. Or KISS. Something he can dance to.
