i really do like the idea that billy helps pete do his nails/does his nails for him, but it is important to take into account the fact we see him with his nails done in The Invisible Hand of Fate. so, my personal headcanon is that he used to go to a salon to get them done (back when he was still on quizboys) but stopped being able to afford it (in both the time and money sense) after he and billy left. that or he started trying to be more conscious about spending, and billy offered to do his nails for him as a way to cut down costs (though they definitely both know it’s just an excuse, especially when they don’t stop doing it after they move into rose’s home, dedicating an afternoon every once in a while to getting pete’s nails done). that being said, i don’t think pete actually cares about saving money, so it could also be that making the trip to a nail salon became way too much of a hassle. they (seemingly) live in the middle of a desert, there no way there’s a salon any closer than a 40 minute drive. OR maybe he’s just always done them himself, but when he and billy started living together billy started doing them for him because it just seemed like the logical thing to do. it’s harder to do your own nails than it is for someone else to do them, especially if you’re trying not to mess up one hand while doing the other. plus, they 100% enjoy the time spent on it- they put on a show in the background but usually just end up talking over it the entire time. with billy’s prosthetic hand, he’s a lot more precise than pete could ever conceivably be
