[Billy's right; they are family. They're just about the only ones Teddy has left, aside from the Kaplans, whom he'll never stop being grateful to for welcoming him into the family so easily.
It's home. And it's family. Right there in his hands.
Teddy sets the two sketches down in his lap, just to free up his hands and let him touch Billy's wrist, the other reaching for his hand, though carefully, considering that's the tender arm.]
They're perfect, Billy.
[The warm smile, and that slight shininess in his eyes that is totally just due to the apparently toxic brownies Billy gave him and nothing more, says it all for him: it's probably the best thing he could ever get. Personal preferences like comic books are great, but home and family? Those are the best of all.
And to further make that known, Teddy tips his head back to give the side of Billy's neck an appreciative kiss.]
