He looked down at her hand, rubbing her smooth knuckles with his gloved thumb. "Not much of a peasant, are you?" he chuckled at her strangely soft complexion that was not at all peasant-like.
"I don't work much. I am a peasant, though. I was born into a household of hard-working people, but still, I don't have a rough complexion as my...family."
Bill laughed sadistically. He released her hand. "Family! Hah, what comedy!"
Genesis smiled a bit, but looked down, ashamed. Bill noticed none of it. He leaned on his left arm and stared at her, batting his long eyelashes. "Say, do you enjoy my company, bambola?"
The drooping woman looked up slowly, locking eye with the strange man. He showed both arrays of pristine white teeth, despite his last messy meal he had with her, revealing a scary side to his character.
"Yes."
"Yes, I think I do in a way." She finally answered after some muse.
Genesis pulled her thin blanket around her round shoulders despite the blazing fire softly crackling in front of her. "I have no one left for my company anymore." Her sigh was so heart-breaking any sane heart would've tugged strings at the sound. Bill pursed his lips in thought. This human girl was lonely and desperate for a piece of companionship. Perhaps he could be…persuasive. The more he thought about it, the more it pleased him.
"You know," he pulled himself closer to the woman, their shoulders grazing. "I may be able to change all of your dilemmas."
Genesis brought her eyes to him. "You can? But how?"
He smiled widely and held out his hand. A blue flame enveloped his gloved hand instantly. The woman's eyes widened. "A deal, bambola."
Genesis' eyes glowed with a strange hunger. "Will…will that fire harm me?"
Bill scoffed. "Why, of course, not! But-"
Suddenly, he felt his hand being pulled towards Genesis in a slightly urgent matter. Her frozen fingers clasped his aflame hand and held it tightly. She placed his hand against her rosy cheek and sighed in content. Genesis cuddled into the warm substance and brought her free hand up to intertwine her fingers with Bill.
He blinked. What was she doing? He had merely extended his hand to shake a deal with her, not for her to become intimate against it in such a manner that didn't suit her gentle and modest character.
"I—oh, it's so warm…mmm, ah," Genesis mumbled in a low octave as her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
Oh, so she was warming herself. But still, he was a bit uncomfortable with this position. Her moans of happiness and actions of sensuality, though she didn't mean it, brought a strange feeling upon his body.
He wasn't regularly a human. Actually, this was one of the first times he had used his vessel for meeting humans, since their pathetic minds couldn't handle his true form. He didn't know about the heavy and usually known consequences of the human body.
What was it? He didn't like it, that was for sure, but his body thought otherwise. It disobeyed his cruel orders and paid no attention to what he wanted. Curse it. Did he somehow find her appealing? Yes, the woman was beautiful, but none of this was of any relevance before then.
Eventually, she pulled away, her eyes half-lidded. She dropped his hand and Bill rubbed it slowly.
She sniffed and exhaled, the mucus from her nostrils gone. "I apologize. What were you saying?" she asked him through her eyelashes.
He cleared his throat awkwardly. "I was going to...make a deal with you." He clutched his hand a little protectively. He did not want the same encounter to happen again. No, he didn't need any of that nonsense again.
Genesis' eyes opened up a bit, her dilated pupils going back to their regular size. "A deal? Whatever for?" Her cheeks began to lose their rosy color as confusion spread over her healthier looking face. After the encounter with the flames, her lips returned to their normal color and her face opened up.
Bill stared at her face. His sub-consciousness angrily commanded his eye to stop looking at her plump lips, but they promptly disobeyed. His golden iris slowly disappeared as his slit-like pupil dilated. Unintentionally, he began to lean closer to the beautiful girl, who stared at the man's strange actions.
"Bill?" she said softly, snapping him out of his trance. He froze and blinked slowly. His eye met her (e/c) ones and curiosity sparked between the couple. Not sure of what exactly, but they definetly enjoyed every moment of it.
Except for Bill. He stopped their soft gaze and remembered what she asked him before she cast her spell on him. Stupid she-devil.
The thought of his master plan including the deal got him excited, startling Genesis and him as well. "Yes! You see, my dear, I have very special abilities that make me different from all other men you have met in this dimension alone."
He looked at her eyes, instead of her face as a whole. He learned a while ago that humans felt uncomfortable when in toto eye contact was established. " I have certain things that I may bring about in ways you simply cannot begin to imagine. Very, very certain abilities." he drawled out.
Much to his chagrin, Genesis did not look in any way uncomfortable by his intimidating eye contact. Rather, she seemed to bore into his very soul (if he had one at all) with her glowing (e/c) stare. "Such as making fire illusions?" she hardly sounded surprised.
Bill felt a twinge of anger, yet at the same time, he was impressed. Genesis was as truthful as him when it came to revealing emotions. She did not pretend to show a false emotion just to be 'polite'. "You are not too impressed by that, but yes; I can do much more than simply making a flame erupt in my palm."
"Is is witchcraft that you do?"
Utter disgust spread over his striking features. "Witchcraft? Do I look like an infant to be toying with dolls of some sort? No! What I do is far more intricate than megere human play."
Genesis peered at him in thought. Yes, she did suspect him to be a wizard of some sort, oddly dressed, but the way he talked about humans...like he wasn't.
"Why do you speak of human race as if you are not?" Her expression made it clear that she was highly skeptical.
Bill cackled rather echoey. "Simply because I am not, bambola! I suppose you could assume that I am from far, far away. Farther than anyplace you can think of."
"Yes," Genesis frowned at this statement of his. "But, you certainly look human."
He snorted rudely. "Me? No, I merely use this nasty meatbag to appeal for the better. Human eyes cannot accept my true form as they are not exposed to the supernatural yet. You cannot handle it. Value your sanity." he snickered. "While you can."
Genesis should've listened. She should've kept her pretty mouth shut and simply nod. But alas, as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. "Well, why not? I'm sure your true form shan't be as bad as you make it seem. Mama always taught us, 'Do not judge thy neighbor by his outward appearance.' Don't you abide by the same moral code?"
Bill sighed exasperated. " As I have relayed before, I am not human. I do not abide by your useless codes. They have of no meaning to me. Listen well, my form in all its beastiality is not for the pure eyes of a woman like you." He paused hesitantly. He definitely sounded sincere in protecting her sanity. But only for his plans not to be ruined too soon. Yes, a well-spoken justification.
Genesis smiled. "Perche no, it cannot be that bad. I'm also not as pure as I used to be. I can handle it."
The handsome supernatural looked at her. His golden iris overwhelmed his pupil until it formed a frightening slit. Genesis shifted away from him a bit. He spoke quietly, but unbeknownst to her, his body began to glow a bright red. "Would you risk your sanity for a foolish whim, child?"
The woman stared at his strange eye and his bright red body. Something was not right. Was he supposed to be doing that? Not knowing what to expect, Genesis slowly shook her head. As if reacting to her action, his pupil re-dilated itself back to normal and his body regained its natural color.
She sounded sorry, but she kept a small smile, like she was amused by his angry reaction to her small request. "Forgive me. I meant not to make you angry. I understand your powers and what they may do to the universe, Bill Cipher."
Crud, his full name as she knew it sounded strange on her tongue. He hoped she wouldn't appeal to him in any way beyond this point. He hoped with all his little black heart. But he knew this prayer of his would be in vain. Once he fell, he fell deep. There was no escaping this woman's charm, but who said he couldn't toss in a bit of his own immortal charm?
His optimistic mood hopped right back into character. "Good! Now, where were we? Ah, yes." He hesitated for a moment, but outstretched his hand, not aflame. "I wish to seal a bond with you."
"Whatever for?" Genesis asked, a twinge of sourness coating her tone. "I have nothing left, so there is no need to bond with a stranger with whose character I have never encountered before."
Her bitter tone enlightened Bill as he began to laugh lightly. Such a young child. What does she know about strangers? Yet, she acted as if she knew much when dealing with men she has never met before. He was beginning to like her character and their conversation grew more interesting to him. He was now curious to what she was going to say, despite his imminent knowledge of telepathy.
Bill tsked, shaking his thin finger at her and nodding his head from side to side. "Poor darling. Whatever do you know about bonding with your fellow Italians? Don't you know about your 'moral codes', as you call it? Friendship is all you need to pass through life's burdens! I suggest you do the same as well, since you have none left."
Her eyes narrowed. She was liking this man less and less. He hid many information from her and Genesis feared she'd never find out. Bill was annoying in trying to make himself sound more knowledgeable than he really was.
"And why would you do that?" she asked, totally unimpressed at his 'knowledge'. She made her voice sound like she didn't trust his deals, or him, for that matter. He understood her tone and it fed his insignificant ego.
But his smile disappeared momentarily. He sighed, "I haven't seen my family in a while. I have been separated from my friends and close comrades. I wish to see them again. If you could help me, I would just be so…"
"Happy."
"Yes, happy."
Genesis sighed. He did sound very wistful, but who was she to know that Bill wasn't a man to be trusted. She relented, not noticing Bill's growing smirk from what he caused her to think.
"Very well," Genesis replied reluctantly. "I shall help you. But first, I have my own conditions to make."
Bill's sadness disappeared as fast as it had come and smiled widely. "Yes, bambola?"
Genesis nearly flinched at the pet name she should've been used to, but continued her part of the deal. "I am lonely. I have nothing to live for without a companion. And that's all a woman needs in her desolate life, correct?"
Bill smiled knowingly. Without realizing it, Genesis had just revealed a major compartment of his master plan concerning her. He let her continue, thinking he knows where she's going with her deal. "Yes, darling."
"You are that companion for me." Genesis emphasized to him. "I need your presence where I am , whenever I want, wherever I need you. Understand?"
Bill opened his mouth to reply, but he stopped when her words sank in and actually made sense to him. Her companion? What was he, a dog to follow it master wherever and whenever the master wanted it to? She made it sound like she wanted to be in charge of him. Well, she was wrong in thinking so. It would be him that would control this pathetic woman, if anything.
But he could make this work somehow. Seduce the girl perhaps...no, that'll have to wait. He sensed her uncomfortable emotions with his conduct, so he had to make the bird simply walk into the lion's jaws. Playing cool for now. simply playing cool.
Bill smiled after his thoughts. "Yes...yes, I suppose I could handle that. What about you? Do you intend to stay to my side of the deal?" The man tempted her with questions she didn't know whether to lie to or not.
But as a deal's a deal. She extended her hand reluctantly to which Bill eagerly grabbed and bobbed up and down.
"Deal." They said simultaneously, one eager, and the other absolutely terrified.
