What is grief?
WHO: Billy/Various, some OTA (will be noted)
WHERE: First Breath, Vanquish, Temba, YA house
WHAT: Sad
WHEN: Day of Return
WARNINGS: Sad
Return
(OT Vanquish [or First Breath if you want to see him worrying on the ship], Mostly meant for Jon and/or Lauri-Ell)
When the compulsion to return to the ships had come, Teddy hadn't been there. It set a knot of worry in Billy's stomach, even as he tried to reason it didn't mean he was gone. He might have gotten up early, or felt the compulsion before him, or...something. Right?
Still, that dread kept him from messaging during the trip back, mind running over the dark possibilities until they had landed and Billy went running to wait outside Vanquish. He was just worrying for nothing, right??
Storm Clouds
(OTA)
Billy was at a loss. What was a he supposed to do? He was trying very hard not to fall back into that deep depression that had claimed him after Cassie- that dark numbness that seemed to swallow him up for months.
The weather around him seemed to be reflecting that conflict, isolated clouds, dark and stormy, possibly attracted by the electricity that occasionally flickered unbidden at his fingertips.
He didn't know how to find a proper balance, to feel these emotions without losing himself to them.
The clouds rumbled overhead, rain pelting down, and Billy offered up an apologetic look as he wasn't the only one caught up in this downpour.
"Sorry-"
Hold Me
(for Tommy)
The house didn't feel the same without him. Billy tried to set aside that steadily growing weight on his chest and put away some of what he'd brought back from their trip, but he kept seeing signs of Teddy everywhere. He couldn't quite bring himself to touch any of Teddy's stuff, leaving it where it was.
He tried to sleep that night, laying on his side of the bed, switching between tears and long stretches of sleepless silence, before finally giving up and leavingtheir his room for Tommy's.
He peered inside hesitantly, voice a little rough from the boughts of crying.
"...Could I sleep with you?"

Yes, he says link it, but she doesn't know how. So for now she puts her tip to tip with his. Was this the link he desired.
"Would it not be better to swear the oath upon the crown? Or throne? Or the weapon? It would hold me honest."

He shakes his head solemnly.
"No- this is the ultimate oath on Earth. Cannot be broken," he assures, looking up to hold her gaze, "I swear, we protect each other."

"I swear, we will protect each other," she parroted.

"Hearts cannot be happy. They are muscles."
The metaphor is absolutely lost on her.

"I shall try. But you must try as well."
