[... Yeah, that gets Teddy to put down his pastry so that he won't squish it in his hands, then slide a fist under the table to clench by his leg. He hates hearing about the bullies of Billy's past, hates that he couldn't be there, hates that Billy had to go through all of that. He didn't say so, but he certainly implied it, and it makes Teddy's blood boil.
He does relax, however, because they're not talking about asshole jocks. It's about trying something new, something Teddy's passionate about. Like Teddy sitting to watch Sound of Music with Billy, or listening to his music or going to a musical with him, or Billy sitting with him during a football game or when he's playing a game he's not all that interested in. Support of each other's hobbies and likes, even if they're not necessarily into it themselves.]
Well... yeah. Okay then. You don't have to know the rules or anything right now. We can just shoot some hoops. You know, with someone who doesn't care if you miss or anything.
[Teddy might not have been there for Billy's experience with gym, but he's certainly been there when other unpopular boys were forced to attend PE.]
