[ he sees the tear but doesn't stop billy from wiping it away. instead he brings their faces together, feels the wetness from billy's cheek on his own ]
The best. [ he says it again, insistent like the kiss had been. these past few weeks with billy have been better than any time with anyone else he's dated ] You, Billy Hargrove, are fucking gorgeous and a great lay, and even though you're an asshole and your music sucks ass and your car is an actual death trap-- I'm pretty sure you're the greatest thing to ever happen to my life.
[ he hasn't realised but his cheeks are wet as well now ]
So I'm-- trying. To be here just like you're here. [ Trying to live in this world where Billy's alive, instead of back home where he isn't. ] I want to be here with you too.
