[Voice / Action]
[Okay, so. Several things need to be dealt with here, one way or another. First being the fact that he has a facetwin hanging around who is pretty damn hard to explain, though Tommy being more or less okay with the "brother" title helps with that. Second is that he knows the truth about his heritage now, which is, in short, a huge weight off his shoulders. Third is that his strength is mostly back in his arm as long as he doesn't bend or twist it in a way that stresses his brace too much, which admittedly doesn't mean much, but it does mean that he's able to finish the sketches he'd promised to Pepper's art gallery.
Thus, since it's so warm and dry today, he'll be heading out to deliver a set of hefty-sized rolled sheets of drawing paper to Pepper's art gallery, and then to swing by Tony's house to catch up on some work and maybe fill his... sort-of employer in on the recent developments. Mainly the kid with Billy's face who is probably going to hate him for a while. Tommy's not as keen to forgive as some people.
His last stop will be the plaza, armed with a miniature sketchbook, and props himself up against the side of the fountain to draw whatever comes his way. Occasionally he might have to stop and give his hand a frustrated shake, but hey, there's no physiotherapy like a good work-out, right?
At some point while he's out, though, he'll be doing what he told himself he'd get done: a journal entry that is better late than never.]
[Voice, locked from Tommy]
Hey, it's Billy. Just wanted to get it out there that if you see anybody with my face - or hear my voice, I guess - that's Tommy, my... brother. Kind of. It's complicated. He might be a bit tough to deal with sometimes, but he's not a bad guy, so just try to put up with him, if you can. He could use some friends.
[....]
Just don't let this get back to him, I'd never hear the end of it.

[Come on, Steve, does he really have to spell it out for you.]
1/3
That had happened more than a few times when Steve and Bucky were supposed to hang out and one of the women Bucky has dated invites herself to join them.
But 'alone time' almost makes it sound like...
Oh.]
2/3
3/3
Uh, yeah, of course. I completely understand.
[And then he realizes what he said about Tommy and joining in oh god. All the embarrassment forever.]
no subject
He sits in awkward silence, trying to sort out how to even begin dealing with this, before managing a hesitant response.]
Yeah, so... um. Sorry. ...For the blindside.
[Not for being gay, though. That's one thing he'll never apologize for.]
no subject
No, it's fine. I just feel really stupid right now is all.
no subject
[Wait, did he just say it's fine?]
no subject
[Like...a lot now that he thinks about it. From both him and Teddy whether they noticed them or not.]
no subject
[Honestly, though, he... really has to ask, now. For Teddy's sake as much as his.]
It's... really fine? You don't mind?
no subject
That's not really my place is it? Nor is it my business. But no, I don't mind. I may be old fashioned Billy but I've always considered myself open minded. As long as it's not hurting anyone, I don't have anything to say against it.
no subject
...it just changes things. It changes too much.
He's quiet, but not because he's upset or anything, even if at that moment he kind of feels like crying. It's just... it's nice to hear that kind of response from someone, especially someone he respects, someone he's looked up to for years and years. The confirmation that yeah, it's okay. That it doesn't matter.
People like Kesler can hate him for it if they want, he won't care- because Captain America doesn't mind.]
...Thanks.
no subject
He's just about to break the silence and ask him what's wrong when Billy beats him to it. Caught off guard, it takes him a moment to reply.]
Uh..yeah. No problem.
no subject
Anyway, Tommy might take some getting used to, but he won't cause trouble. ...Probably.
no subject
I'll take your word for it. You'd know better than I would. But I doubt he'll be a problem.
