O E O SCREECHES OMG ajsldk;gajsdf
Oh gosh, I love internet romance AUs it's ridiculous how heart-breaking but adorable they can be and just as;ljdfk
I imagine they meet in a superhero forum chat thing. They both agreed on a lot of things, weren't too close friends but just had a lot of laughs late at night talking with each other.
And then, they would just gradually get closer. Exchange emails, exchange IMs, maybe even phone numbers. They'll have late night Skype calls being doofuses and dorks, but never quite share pictures. And I can see Billy falling for Teddy really fast while for Teddy, it's more of a slow build up, and he's somewhat scared and doubting his own sexuality.
Until, one day, Billy gets bullied by Greg. And everything changes because Teddy KNOWS that voice, knows who Billy is, and suddenly, he feels sick to his stomach because *what* is he doing?
And I feel like that Teddy would stop talking to Billy due to guilt. He would just always be absent or say that he's busy whenever Billy tries to talk to him. Never answers Billy's texts, never answers those skype calls, avoids talking as much as possible when Greg DOES end up bullying Billy and he's there to watch or keep guard. And he hates himself for it. He hates how much of a coward he is, how Billy will try to connect with him, how he just stands there doing *nothing* because he's torn. He's torn inside and he has never hated Greg or the shit he has done in the past more than he has then and there.
And eventually, it'll just all blow up in his face. Maybe Greg goes too far. Maybe Teddy finally talks and Billy recognizes him and just stares at him, absolutely betrayed. And Teddy just feels like a wretched, disgusting person. Just tosses back Greg, threatens him or blackmails him, and tries and help Billy. Only, Billy just yells at him. Sort of breaks down and runs off. Never contacts Teddy again, never answers the texts Teddy desperately sends, blocks him from every online platform possible.
Maybe they don't ever meet up again or ignore each other forever, while Teddy regrets every single day that he didn't do something. Because he had fallen in love with Billy, and it was his fears and insecurities holding him back.
Or maybe they somehow manage to work things out. Talk it through, fight, yell, throw a punch or two, and just try and be friends again. Only, it's a slow build up. Billy feels betrayed and hurt, and Teddy is desperately afraid that one small move or word will drive Billy away again.
