Re: The Neighbourhood: Billy/Alex
Let's be perfectly real here - a night spent cuddling on the couch with Billy wasn't exactly what Alex signed up for. No offense, but Billy's not Mal. That's not a fact that produces regret, though; instead, it actually makes it easier. Alex doesn't have to feel that tightness in his chest like he does when he's within arm's length of Mal. He doesn't feel the pressure to say exactly the right thing, to basically not fuck things up. Billy's a friend, one of his best friends, someone he trusts explicitly. So, easier. Unexpected, but not unwanted at all. But in the spirit of perfect realness, let it not go without saying that Alex does find his friend attractive.
He leans his weight a little more into Billy's body, even as a small dry laugh escapes his lips like a puff of air, matching Billy's. "If this is pervy you got a weird idea of what pervy is," he comments.
