Billy's out by the lake, playing a game of tag with his three Nobody bodyguards. They're faster than he is, of course, but he's playing a good game.

"And, the worst part, was that they had you. I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't react, but I was conscious, and there was nothing I could do to make it better for you, at all.

I can handle anything as long as I can know you're safe, but..." he sighs.

"Oh, that's right. They forgot that rule of engagement."
Teddy's fists are clenched behind Billy's back now; he can't help it. He managed to pry one open to put on the nape of Billy's neck, bringing his head back so Teddy could kiss him.
