[Billy grins, his cheeks a little pink, because- okay, he's kind of predictable, because he's already using the camera's view screen to flip through the photos. He's quiet while Teddy's tunes up, glancing over a couple of times curiously before the pictures catch his attention again.
It's like a massive nostalgia trip; there's the view from the apartment window during a particularly nice sunset, his parents banter in the kitchen, his brothers playing Mario Kart with Tommy, a dozen or so shots of the cityscape that he'd taken on his and Teddy's last flying date before the SRA went live, and- even some pictures of Mrs. Altman, elegant, smiling, and approachable as ever, shot during his final visit to Teddy's place before she died. Something to save for later, so as not to upset Teddy right now, but definitely a treasure he hadn't expected. More surprising is a series of photos he can't even remember taking, as if the camera had come from Teddy's time, not his own. He'll have to ask about that.
When the song starts, though, he's immediately distracted. Those chords are instantly recognizable to him, and the fact that Teddy's learned to play them is just as much of a delight as the extravagant set across the room from their seats. He lowers the camera, at first watching Teddy play with an expression that could only be described as adoring, and before long he closes his eyes, just listening contentedly to the music and letting it carry him away. Next step is to hum along, then to mouth the words, and then - during the last verse - he's singing quietly along without even realizing it.

God, but he loves that song.]
