[It's okay if Billy isn't ready to voice those things; it took all the courage Teddy had just to say that, and he's not sure when he'll get the guts to actually be ready to ask something like that. But just to know that they're both in agreement about it, actually talked, no matter how briefly, and that the both of them expressed the same desire...
It's more than enough for now, and the kiss just seals it. Teddy shuts his eyes and leans into it, opening up to it, his hand gripping Billy's and keeping him close to himself. To think, this all started with a sentimental little gift of love coupons, and now here he is, feeling both like the adult that he ought to be and still very young, and yet looking forward to the future, whether it be here or in Manhattan. It wouldn't matter even if they were in a dimension even worse than this, a reality where Luceti really does seem like a heaven. As long as Billy is by his side, he'll treasure every moment with him, past and present and future. And Teddy does his best to show that through his kisses and his touches, the way his thumb gently strokes Billy's while his free hand cradles his neck, the way his heart naturally starts to beat in time with the love of his life.
It's a perfect moment. And it's enough to make Teddy forget where they are and what day it even is. It's just... it's perfect.]
