Bill stared at Dipper as he ate dinner, the others in the room not acknowledging his existance until Tad came in and dragged him out, "You need to start being a mature demon."

Bill looked back and forth, "I know.. I guess... but it's okay. He said he forgave me."

Tad sighed in frustration, putting a hand to rub above his eye in frustration, "You really think he'd forgive you that easily? In all honesty I think he was just scared to show his feelings around you. You are pretty threatening towards him." He folded his arms.

Bill huffed, "Oh please... spare me the lecture Tad." He turned away, floating to Dipper when he left the kitchen, "hey Pine Tree, how are you feeling?" He asked, and was ignored, "Pine Tree. Pine Tree." The demon poked him.

Dipper growled and turned around, punching Bill yet again in anger, "Leave me alone you psychotic triangle!" He ran to his and Mabel's room, shutting the door. Dipper sank to the ground, taking in a breath.

Tad floated looking at Bill, "Really?"

"Shut up." Bill stormed passed Tad, grumbling.

"If you keep this up Pi will have to come talk to you!" Tad shouted to him.

Mabel ran to where the ruckess had been, knocking softly on their bedroom door, "You okay bro bro?" She asked, the door slowly creaking open just enough to let her in.

Dipper leaned his back on the door again, closing it, "I can't stand him Mabel, he took over my body... h-he was gonna use me, he was gonna kill me." He shook anxiously, eyes wide.

Mabel frowned, sitting beside her brother, "I'm sorry he did that to you.." She didn't know what to say.

He sniffled hugging his sister, crying into her shoulder, "Don't apologize for that asshole." Dipper wiped his eyes, lifting his head.

Mabel patted her brothers back, "Do you want Tad to help you sleep tonight?" She asked

Dipper shook his head, "No.. he's your guardian... and I'll be fine.." He nodded, smiling weakly.

Mabel tilted her head, "Okay..." She sighed, "I love you bro bro." She tightened the hug and stood up, helping him up along with her.

"Love you too Mabes." He smiled and sat on his bed, laying down. Dipper sighed looking at the ceiling his frown fading. Out of all the demons he had to get stuck with Bill.

Mabel fell asleep with ease, Tad not joining her at the moment. Dipper couldn't help but stay awake, staring at the ceiling. Thoughts racing through his head. What if he wants to kill me? What if he does it again? What if Tad does it to Mabel? What if?

He took in a deep breath and let out a shakey sigh, retrieving a book to calm his nerves. The book seemed to get his mind off of it, falling asleep while reading. Dipper's dreams weren't pleasant yet again, tossing and turning all night. He sat up in a jolt, checking his watch... four am. Dipper sighed, leaning his head on his curled up knees. For a split second- he wished the demon was there to make the nightmares stop. But Bill, was the nightmare, and he'd rather have those dreams than the demon anyday.

Dipper began pondering why the guardians- demons were even there. He knew they stuck around so they could stay on the Earthly plain and become more powerful, but the only way they could do that was becoming friends with their human. He growled shoving his face in his pillow, he never wanted to be close to the demon. He tried falling asleep again, turning to one side, then the other. But nothing made him comfortable. Dipper was too sweaty and anxious at the moment to focus on sleeping.

Dipper turned on his side to look at Mabel, Tad had joined her and was staring at Dipper. He gave a small wave in which Dipper returned it. Dipper sighed, turning away from Tad. He wasn't Dipper's responsibility yet he usually took care of both of them. Yet of course Tad spent more time with Mabel, since she was his human. This was one of those times he wished he had listened to Mabel to ask for Tad's help. He always seemed to know what to do. After a while of staring at a wall, he checked his watch again. The time was seven now. He hadn't realized how long he had been in thought about the whole situation.

Feet made their way to the wooden floor, getting up out of bed in care to make sure his sister wouldn't wake up. He slowly sneaked downstairs, into the kitchen. He sighed and opened the fridge, drinking a glass of milk before looking at the window. Jumping when he felt a tap on his shoulder, "Ugh, go away B-bill.." He looked away.

Bill sighed, "What can I do to make things up to you?" He asked

Dipper huffed, folding his arms, "There's nothing you can do to make me forgive you for doing that Bill." His lip quivered, holding back tears. He hated crying, especially in front of Bill.

Bill blinked, wiping Dipper's tears away, "I promise I'll never do it again."

He growled rubbing his face as if to scrub the Bill off of it, "How do I know that?"

Blue flame came out of Bill's hand, "We can shake on it- this is a permanent promise that I will never possess your body without your consent and without enough power." He held his hand out to the boys.

Dipper's eyes stared at the flames dancing from his hand, he looked to Bill, then to the hand, slowly shaking it, "I'm still angry at you... that s-scared me so much... tell me... why, why aren't you like the other guardians... Stan has Pi, Mabel has Tad. They're both great... why do you act so different?"

Bill was stunned into silence, trying to think of what to say, "I... don't know... I guess I just- don't understand humans very well. I don't understand why I have to go through this." He shrugged.

Dipper blinked, looking down, chuckling softly. That's exactly how he had felt earlier. But of course he wasn't going to admit that. Dipper yawned, rubbing his eyes, "Jeez... you seriously have got a lot to learn then huh?" He smiled

Bill folded his arms looking away, "Yeah... did you even sleep?" He asked, poking the bags under Dipper's eyes, in which he swatted his hand away.

He shrugged, glancing away a moment, "Not r-really.." His voice cracked, which caused Bill to chuckle. Dipper growled at him.

"You should head off to bed then... want me to come?" Bill asked.

Dipper thought for a few seconds, getting up, "I guess..." He gave Bill an uncomfortable look.

Bill followed him, "Trust me you won't even know I'm there."

Dipper carefully climbed back in bed, Bill laying near him but not snuggled up to him, "Don't try anything dangerous while I'm sleeping, okay?" He whispered.

"Not in a million years Pine Tree... I promise." Bill mumbled the last bit, Dipper easily drifting off to sleep.

I hope you're all enjoying the fic so far! I'm really in love with this au.
