I was just kidding when I said I'm gonna read your mind, so don't even worry about it happening. You know I don't read people's minds without their consent.
[ While Billy's out here running a hand through his face because 1.) he thinks it's unfair Tommy gets cranky when he's just retaliating with a joke he started, and 2.) he also thinks he might have gone overboard with the homophobia quip, even when it's legit something he hates.
Which is terrible and, well, in poor taste, especially knowing what I know now.
[ Lately, especially back home, Billy has had a rough few months. So, even if he doesn't spiral, he still thinks he screwed up big time, here, just like he always does. ]
No you don't. If you didn't there wouldn't be a "now". It's not like you made a joke about hating life without a flat iron or the J train or IDK brussel sprouts.
[ It's about leaping to the absolute worst option. It's about how Tommy being homophobic would be a joke and that would somehow be okay. It doesn't matter if Tommy's queer or not. He's never going to be assumed a decent person. ]
But don't worry about it. I'm the one who didn't tell you.
[ Because Billy worry about it, and Tommy hates it here even with Billy around to talk to. He can't do the hide-in-his-room-for-three-months thing again. ]
I'm sorry I jumped into the worst possible thing. You said you'd think of something I hate and I hate homophobia. That's it.
But it's in poor taste because we shouldn't be joking about something like that.
[ For Billy, that's honestly the extent of it. It never occured to him that it means he assumes Tommy's not a decent person for even suggesting his twin would actually think of it to spite him. ]
[ Billy heaves out a long sigh. If his twin will never let him live this down, that's fine. The meeting after this at the inn will be awkward, but he can deal with it. ]
Again, I'll never read your mind, Tommy. Nerds like me don't do that.

[ He said it for himself, because he wasn't sure if he had, and maybe it was a little bit of a weaponized coming out because fuck that'd stung.
But Tommy doesn't want apologies. ]
