This is great! I love all the details about things that don't exist until they do; that had a great book-narration feel to it. Billy is a well-developed and endearing OC, and I love Warlock and Adam becoming friends as well. And yes, Nanny Ashtoreth, you should go for it now that Brother Francis has ditched those teeth and eyebrows, and yes, you two are obvious to the point where even six-year-old Warlock would notice!
