[Billy had actually been kind of elaborate with his hiding; the room he shared with Teddy was pretty big now that they'd mashed the two into one, so there's lots of little hiding places for it. Even so, he hadn't wanted to risk even the slightest chance that Teddy might stumble upon it. Not until it was ready. Not until it was perfect.
The only place that he knew Teddy would never find it was a place he couldn't access unless he was actively looking: Billy had spelled it into the floorboards under the bed.
He knows it was pretty paranoid, and the box is a bit dusty when he magicks it out of the woodwork, but there's still a little flare of satisfaction, knowing that he gets to give it to Teddy instead of clumsily explaining why it exists, unfinished. So he blows off the floorboard fluff and tucks it into his hoodie pocket, wandering back out to greet his boyfriend.]
