[He knew Billy had so much planned, so much he'd been looking forward to -- and Teddy had been too, if he's honest.]
I wish I could say, B. Loki is good at self-sabotage, right? I don't know if it's that, or if he's just a really good liar. We can-- still have all that. The apartment, the group back together... It might be missing one element, but... I don't know what we can do about that, really. That wasn't exactly a little white lie...
( it's one missing element but it's one billy has spent a lot of time getting used to. enjoying. loki is a piece of shit a lot of the time, but he was billy's piece of shit. then his and teddy's, or so he'd thought. weight slumping into teddy, billy lets out a breath. tries to relax a little. )
I'm pissed, but I--still don't want to leave him here, but I can't take him home if I can't trust him.
[He lifts his hand to brush through Billy's hair carefully, brushing it away from his face. He'd hoped Loki would keep that no-lying promise, honestly... at least to Billy.]
You can't really force him to go though... and he doesn't seem to want to leave, right?
( fingers in his hair always feel great. billy's leaning into the touch, mildly comforted by the physical affection. teddy is amazing, especially at handling what a mess he is. note to self: make sure to give teddy some awesome amazing boyfriend gift after he's done dealing with this. )
Sorry, I was just--thinking of it. But we'll figure it out. And I can't take him back anymore, anyway. . A little white lie I could work around, but not this.
( not this. not after all they've been through. )
You're enough. You've always been enough. This doesn't change anything between us.

[He keeps up the motions, watching as Billy seems to enjoy it, relax a little bit even. He lets out a short sigh at the reassurance.]
I'm just-- sorry, that's all. You've always been enough for me too, B.

( clearly that's not as important right now as getting hairpets though. thank you, teddy, for knowing just what he needed. )
But that's not on you.
