Dammit. Tommy hated himself a little bit because if he wasn't already lying down, he might have gone a little weak-kneed at how solidly Teddy said that. He'd already been in love. With Tommy. Tommy had been too, and maybe he should have had that same kind of fidelity. But he hadn't had kids to keep busy with or a throne or anything. He'd tried to drown his misery other ways and it hadn't worked, but he ... kind of didn't feel guilty for that. Maybe he should, and he would if Teddy was upset. But for now he didn't. He just turned his head, catching Teddy's mouth and kissing him fiercely for that.

He tipped his forehead back against Teddy's afterward, swallowing. "Yeah. Whatever you want. I missed your hands. Missed all of you."
