Awkward Pillow Talk
Billy stretched out on the bed, turning toward Teddy. He skimmed his finger along Teddy’s collarbone. “You know,” said Billy, “I’m pretty powerful.”
Teddy made a humming noise. “I think we may have covered that.”
“Like, if I wanted to,” Billy wiggled a bit and folded his arms behind his head, “I could have kids.”
Teddy’s expression became puzzled. “Do you want kids?”
Billy shrugged. “I don’t know. But if I wanted to have them, I could.”
“So, you could,” Teddy hesitated, “give birth?”
Billy paused. Okay, this had taken a weird turn. “Well, I guess, that might work. But if either of us were to give birth, wouldn’t it be more logical foryou to do it?”
Teddy scratched his chest. “What do you mean?”
Billy laughed lightly. “Come on, Tee, can’t you just change your - ” Billy’s eyes flickered between Teddy’s face and the half of his body covered by sheets. “You know.”
Teddy grimaced. “We’re not really, uh, considering pregnancy, are we?” he asked nervously.
Billy shook his head rapidly. “No! No, god no, neither of us,” he assured.
Teddy nodded along. “Right, yeah! Cool. Cool.”
They looked away from each other awkwardly.
