Billy wouldn't need to be asked that question twice. He kicked his shoes off, letting them drop to the floor, and climbed up onto the bed next to Ajay. "This is like a royal bed, you know. It's huge. I would have to have Inspector Gadget arms to be able to cuddle you if this was our bed all the time. But holy fuck, is it comfortable," he realised when he carefully found a spot in next to Ajay. His arm slipped around Ajay and he snuggled up with him. This position was better for holding him anyway. He sought his lips with another chaste kiss just to remind him that he still loved him, despite what happened and how painful it was. Billy knew all this could be painful. He was never quite prepared for how painful, but he knew what life could be life when he started to date Ajay.

"Shhh. You don't have to be sorry. I feel like I could sleep for a week, sure, but I don't care about that. I couldn't just let you go. I couldn't take your word that you would be fine in Vermont because I knew you weren't. You had been. You had been doing okay, but I know that's not like finishing painting a wall or something. You don't get the end product and go - hey, awesome, all done. That's not how this works. I know that. Why would I cut losses when I don't have any? You're not a loss, lovely. You're the sweetest person to ever have come into my life. But I will accept that promise. Especially knowing how hard it is for you to give it and you probably wouldn't have a few weeks ago." He entwined his fingers in with Ajay's, brushing his thumb over the base of Ajay's.
