Does he know? Billy's embarrassed look says no. After all, it had only happened a few months back, and Teddy was so evasive on calls. Always dropping them abruptly when this one woman's voice came on the calls. Not that Billy knew what the woman was saying, he didn't speak Skrull or Kree.

"I'm not... I'm not going back to him, Tommy. When a guy dumps you to go off on his own and put insane distance between the two of you, twice, you don't just take them back. Not when you're engaged to someone else. I love Teddy. I will always love Teddy. But in a tight spot we either don't talk, or he bails."

And the relationship with David was clearly going better. Mostly because David was excessively good at communicating. Billy never got away with hiding things for long with David, who would sit him down and talk to Billy until he pried his way into Billy's closed, depressed, self-loathing mind and made it work again. Made them work.

"Guess I sorta need you there to keep me from just falling all over myself to forgive him. To take him back. I'm not going to hurt David like that. Not with David right there. Better you keep me sane and your friend unhurt, right?"

But Billy looks relieved. And then guilty.

"I could make you a charm. Just something to wear so that when you see Teddy you're brave, and the feelings don't get to you so much. Like... an anti-Teddy heartbreak charm?"
