Summary: Minor spoilers for Booster Gold 35. Booster can’t stop himself.
Booster couldn’t stop himself. He knew it was a terrible, terrible idea from the beginning but he couldn’t stop himself then and he certainly couldn’t now. No matter how much Skeets reasoned and scolded and outright pleaded, no matter the fact that Rip and Michelle and Rani could see Booster was slowly coming apart- he had Ted and nothing could stop Booster from seeing him. Even if it wasn’t his Ted.
And he didn’t have to hide it- Ted knew. And when Booster gave in to his emotions and his impulses and kissed him, Ted saw it coming. And when Booster went back, Ted was waiting for him.
Booster returned every moment he could- carefully spacing out how frequent the visits were to Ted, of course. Too often and Ted would begin to suspect that something happened, that Booster no longer had him around and Booster wouldn’t be able to say it, but he wouldn’t be able to lie about it, either. Ted would’ve been able to see through it if he did.
But Ted never asked and if he even suspected, he made no sign of it. He welcomed Booster back with open arms and warm smiles, brushed the bangs out of Booster’s face and let Booster just hold him until the hole in his heart stopped threatening to break him open. Then his hands would wander over Ted’s body and then his lips and eventually they’d make their way to a bed, or couch or whatever else was available. Afterwards Booster would just stare down at Ted, memorizing the way he’d lay- sated and lazy -and Booster tried not to let Ted see the heartbreak in his eyes, but he doubted he succeeded.
Ted would cup Booster’s face in his hands, bringing him down for another kiss and say, “I’m always going to be here for you.”
And Booster would think ‘No, you’re not’ but he’d say, “I know,” and it was so hard to bite back the truth and even harder to keep from crying so he’d tuck himself under Ted’s chin and listen to his heart beat until Ted fell asleep. Then Booster would get up and whisper as he skimmed soft kisses over Ted’s face, “I love you” and “I miss you” and it was getting harder for Booster to leave, to not say anything.
Booster couldn’t stop. And he was starting to not care about the consequences.
