Billy walked to Penny's house, wringing his hands nervously all the way. He didn't want to do this, he really, really didn't.

But he was lying to her. And that was wrong, and not fair to her, and he was risking everything they had by keeping it from her.

Of course, telling her would risk everything too. But he knew telling her the truth would go down much better than her finding out another way.

He'd always wanted to use Dr Horrible to show her what he could do. But being with her had turned that upside down, because for some reason, she liked Billy. And now he was worried she wasn't going to like the other part of him.

He stood outside her door, taking several deep breaths before he knocked.

	He stood up, looking over at her. "Well, no," he said, as if it was completely obvious. "Dr Horrible is - well, he's ... Better," he said. He wasn't sure how to explain it. "Billy - Billy's just this pathetic guy who nobody takes seriously. People are gonna take me seriously when I make it into the ELE." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head, her eyes welling with tears. "No he's not," she said. "Billy is the nice sweet guy that I like." He was the first guy she'd felt this way about and now she really didn't know what to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He swallowed, stepping closer to her. There were tears in her eyes, he'd done this to her. He felt his stomach clench.

"No, Penny, don't-" he started.

He sighed. "Back home, I was so sure you wouldn't ever notice me, I was gonna use Dr Horrible to get you to see me. I just - I didn't think you'd be interested in someone like me."

He looked down. "I'm so sorry," he said, quietly. "I should have told you this earlier. I really didn't want to hurt you..."

Billy swallowed, he felt ... Horrible. Really horrible.

"I'm sorry," he said again, looking down at his feet. "I'll - I'll go."

He headed towards the door, pausing to look back at her before he left.

He couldn't think of anything to say to make this better. She was hurting and it was because of him.

He swallowed, ignoring the dull ache in his chest, and walked out the door.

	She watched him go, collapsing on the couch and crying hard. (Reply to this) (Parent)
