Sighing Dipper sat back and lifelessly looked at TV. "Damn this ass hole. Can't he leave me alone?!" he screamed to himself. He should have cancelled the call when he got that mail…

Looking at the stairs he let out another, heavy sigh. There was still cleaning to be done. Taking a deep breath he went upstairs to check full extend of damage Bill done to his bed.

Slow walk up and quick look around later Dipper felt a little better. Only damaged things were his pride and blanked he just bought last week… The latter could be send to cleaning, but that included explanations… Yet again, he could make it 'Bill's visits blanket' of sorts, like use it when Bill comes. Another look around later he decided to send clothes he wore earlier along with the blanket.

Picking items with visible disgust he pondered if cleaning was still open, and if he could just order picking it up, without actually leaving his house. He doubted it was possible at this hour, but again they said 'open 24 hours 5 days a week.'

Cursing himself for not doing it earlier he dialled the number from a business card he kept around.

"Sparkly Cleaning, how can I help you?" cheerful girl greeted him on the other side.

"Would it be possible to have some laundry taken, like from my place?" Dipper asked, he didn't need to introduce himself, they knew him and his dislike to doing this kind of stuff on his own.

"Any specific hour, MR. Pines?" girl asked.

"As fast as possible." Dipper muttered looking for those fancy cards they required, he had one left. "And it would be really nice if I could get more of those prints of yours." he added starting to fill the card. "If it would be possible."

"It would. Anything else?" girl asked, Dipper heard her type something on a computer.

"No, it's all." he said and cut the call after saying his goodbyes.

He also had to message Soos, the guard about it. He just send a mail.

Fifteen minuter of pizza chewing later cleaning company arrived accompanied by Soos.

"You okay, Mr. Pines he asked when Dipper passed his order and paid for it.

"As good as I can." Dipper said with soft, yet pained smile.

"I assume, Mr. Ciphers helped." guard noted.

Dipper just shrugged, honestly unsure whether he did or not. He certainly took Ty of his mind, but only by giving him a bigger problem. "In a way he did." Dipper said sighing. Soos didn't need to know. Would he even believe what Bill did?

"This Tyrone guy is now banned from this area, we also reported him to the police." Soos informed, "If he appears again we have full right to turn him in, ain't it great?" guard added, "But I'm wondering how Mr. Cipher knew he'd be here."

"He might have been observing me." Dipper half joked. "But it'd be more possible that he noticed him when leaving for work, and knowing how my relationship ended felt like helping." he added.

Guard agreed and left to do his rounds. Dipper looked around warily like Ty or Bill were about to jump him and returned home.

For some reason he felt lonely.

Shaking it and picture of Bill's smile off, Dipper went to look for spare blanket and pillow he was certain he had somewhere. There was no way he's sleeping in THAT room soon.

Finding the items he set himself a 'nest' on the couch and once again looked as his work schedule for tomorrow. He gained one meeting, but not in couple counselling, it was general stress therapy. Registered on name 'Cipher'. Sweating heavily he checked details. It wasn't Bill, it was for a guy named Tad Strange-Cipher. A sibling? He wondered.

Glad it wasn't Bill, Dipper went to sleep earlier, after all he had meeting on 9:00 AM… and then Tad at 12:00. He already didn't want to come back home from work.

…..

Sleeping on the couch wasn't the best idea he ever had. He woke up aching all over from both sleeping and sex. Not to mention that he was still deadly tired. Quick look at his phone, 6 AM. Still too early for him to be up but he went upstairs to shower and dress. Sight of his bed still reminded him of Bill.

Groaning he suppressed the thought and showered trying to not think that Bill used his shower. Somewhat clean and refreshed, Dipper put on his usual work attire – elegant pants and blue sweater.

By then it was 7 – he liked long showers. Not bothering, and not being really hungry Dipper ate piece of leftover pizza and left for work after grabbing his stuff.

On his way out he saw Bill who waved at him cheerfully. Dipper hesitantly waved back. It'd be bad if someone noticed that there is something wrong with their relationship.

His way to work was peaceful. Dipper couldn't help but be fidgety all the way. Tyrone could be anywhere, same with Bill or his creepy bodyguard. Walking in he greeted girl sitting by the front desk. She was Mabels friend, Candy Chiu. He tried to look cheerful but the girl noticed that something was wrong.

"Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I just… I had a bad night." Dipper shrugged. It wasn't weird for him to have trouble sleeping.

"I heard you have a new boyfriend already." she noticed making Dipper groan. Mabel…

"I wouldn't go as far as to saying this..." he started, Candy's laugh interrupted him.

"No need to be so modest, doctor. We all know how good you are with relationships." she said. Dipper only smiled weakly.

"Well. I have to go, I have a visit in an hour." he excused himself and quickly retreated to his office.

Inside he released breath. Why was he so much on edge? Because of that Tad guy? Possibly. Anyone connected to Bill couldn't be good. Remaining hour and a half to the first visit was spend on making and drinking of three coffee cups and all the papers he needed.

When he was almost perfectly ready couple entered his office. With smile Dipper greeted them. It was around 9:45.

They were both complaining and unsure of how long they were together or where they meet. Dipper just sat there listening to them talking about how they don't even need to be there – the guy, or how stupid her boyfriend was – the girl.

"You both feel cramped in your relationship. You are young, and decided to settle to fast." Dipper decided after hearing that problems started when they decided to date. They were both offended. Dipper proposed they live separate for couple of weeks and check if they feel better. They finally agreed. As they were leaving, still arguing about girl accepting his proposition without second thought Dipper wondered why he was even doing this.

He barely got time for coffee before Tad Strange arrived...
