In hindsight, he probably should have had some idea of what was coming.
The first thing that hits is a feeling like lead forming in his stomach and then dropping. He pulls away, unable to stay there, with nowhere to look but at Billy. He slides away to the edge of the bed, hands braced over its edge, feet flat on the floor but not feeling any steadier for it.
The second feeling is one akin to suffocating.
The look in Tony's eyes, the way he'd referenced Billy's mouth, it all seems worse, now. It's stupid and naive, maybe, to have thought that with the break up that meant things were done, that he could just give the other boy a wide enough berth and things would be fine.

This wasn't fine.
