Summary: In which Billy is a heavy sleeper, and Teddy is trying to be sneaky.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Billy slept through Teddy getting out of bed, which didn’t come as a surprise. Billy was a heavy sleeper, and he was worn out from earlier. Teddy stood by the side of the bed, resisting the urge to reach out and touch Billy, but that might wake hum up, and Teddy didn’t want that.
Instead, finally, he retreated to Billy’s desk, flipping open one of the notebooks sitting there. He hunted for a clean page, grabbing a pencil, and started writing.
It came in stops and starts as he struggled to find just the right words. He’d never been very good at this kind of thing, but he couldn’t leave without saying something.
I love you, and I’m going to come back.
You’ll probably hate me for leaving like this and you’re
probably right to.
For what little it’s worth to you, I’m sorry. Please don’t
try to follow me.
I love you.
Teddy
Teddy stared at the note for a long time before going to the window and opening it as quietly as he could. Despite his efforts, it squeaked irritatingly, and he nearly jumped out of his own skin at every noise, but Billy continued to sleep.
He knew he couldn’t linger any longer. Kl’rt and Xavin were waiting for him, and he had so many things he needed to do before he could come back to Billy.
“I’m so sorry…”
