halfscarlet: ([ts] Hey now now.)
Billy woke up in his own bed, feeling as though he'd been run over by a truck.

When he tried remembering the previous night, it was mostly a haze. He remembered various moments, hazy faces, a strange rush of feelings as he thought about various friends he was sure he'd seen. He remembered dancing with someone, Jason's concern, leaving the party, the sheer confusion of his time with Tony on the beach. He rolled over to check the time with a groan that turned into a sharp yelp when a burst of pain enveloped the side of his face -- his ear, in fact, and that's when Billy broke through the haze of the night before, remembering why he'd done any of that in the first place.

He rolled off the bed, not feeling any pain when he half fell onto the floor. Billy didn't have to draw his sheet back far to see a glint of metal, proof that yesterday afternoon hadn't been a crazy dream.

He managed to stumble to the bathroom before he emptied his stomach all over his floor.

It took a little while, but eventually Billy got himself showered and dressed (when he looked at his clock, he blanched when he saw he hadn't woken up until 1pm) and upstairs, searching for something. Food didn't sound like a good idea, but coffee did.

After coffee, he wasn't sure what he was going to do. He needed Alexis, definitely, but he couldn't bring himself to go find her just yet.

With Teddy finally around, life seemed to have taken an obvious turn toward good for Billy. He still missed Kate, but if he was going to be honest, he no longer felt as lonely as he had for months. Spending as much time with Teddy as he could wasn't something he could be blamed for, he thought, but it still wreaked havoc on what structure he'd had when it came to classes.

Suddenly, what studying took up his time seemed like too much, like every hour could be better spent making sure Teddy was still okay, that he was still around and wouldn't disappear the way Kate did. Eventually, Billy's worries faded, but he still had class, still had homework. That much wasn't going to change for yet another month.

One end of a table in the rec room had become his regular study spot, and it was strewn with books and paper. Anthropology and Physics were especially trying, and it was the physics he was tackling, having decided to spend the entire afternoon on the one subject. Though Billy was smart, it was still a little hard to grasp, especially with someone as rambly as The Doctor for a teacher.

He looked up from where he'd been writing in his notebook, eyes scanning the wall for a clock. He'd been at this for two hours already. Pulling both arms over his head, Billy leaned back into the chair as he stretched, letting out a pleased sigh when his back popped a few times. Yeah, a break was probably the best thing to do right now.
