Re: Log: Avengers Mansion
[A slow intake of breath and the smell of Teddy's shampoo and the detergent on his clothes, and Billy was actually able to manage a noise that was closer to laughter than anything else. It was roughly quiet, a thick noise in his throat, but it was there. Because five years was a pretty freaking long time when you were starting out as a teenager (not to even mention the superhero stuff, okay?), that part wasn't wrong. What made it more was the hotel, with the parties and the scared, sad kid whose head he'd shared for so long, and all of the friends who had been taken away from him - or who'd left on their own.]
You could say that. [A nod, and the light touch of his forehead against Teddy's shoulder before he reached up to swipe the back of one hand under each eye.] It was - shit. It's been really fucking hard without you, y'know.
