         despite knowing there wasn’t a single flaw to his faux appearance --- he still felt like people could see right through him. as if they could see through the shift. he knew it was impossible, he hadn’t missed a single detail. the only thing he actually lacked was the speed, so he was praying no one asked him to run across the country in five seconds or something stupid like that. he’d thought about shifting into tommy but the idea of becoming billy’s twin, even momentarily was --- strange. uncle was easier, plus pietro’s stature wasn’t really that different from his own. as he moved down the hall, no one blinked twice. he only prayed he didn’t run into another family member --- or worse, wanda. she’d see through it. he knows she would.        kicking the nervous flutter of thoughts from his brain, teddy knocks on the door with a few little raps of his knuckles before pushing inside, desperate to get out of sight from the hallway. “hey, wow, hope this isn’t awful timing.” was this going to be as terrifying every time? would there even be a next time --- certainly not if he got caught. 

“--just put it back.” tommy grabbed it out of billy’s hand before he could blink much less think about it and shoved it back on the shelf. “nobody’s gonna know you broke it.” the use of the word you being used as if tommy wasn’t also directly involved.
