   Summary

   Apollo must leave to Ixia for a few months for duties neither of them wished he had to attend. During that time alone, Billy found himself slipping into a familiar numbing depression. As hard as he tried, he caught his tendencies creeping up on him until he finally caved, convincing himself it was only temporary. Now he must face the harsh truth of navigating the fact that he can't just stop, it was hardly just one time, and Apollo's growing sick with worry. He knows, they both know he knows, but it all came to a peak when Billy takes it a little too far.
