See the end of the chapter for more

(Back at the Fearamid)

He had done it! Finally after 1 trillion years of waiting this world was finally his! And yet!

"Hey Boss we're breaking out the time punch want some?"

"Mmmm?" Bill looked up from his throne. No it wasn't a throne, not yet anyways! It was simply the foundation of the throne that he was slightly floating above. His real throne will be formed by the frozen agony of the humans that had been turned to stone.

"Boss I asked if you wanted some Time punch" Keyhole asked again.

"Not at the moment." Bill snapped he wasn't quite sure what set off his mood. Well that was a lie he had been in a great mood until...

'I loved you!'

Bill stiffened as Pine Tree's voice echoed throughout his mind.

"Dang Boss I'd thought you'd be more thrilled" Hectorgon butt in. "You're not having second thoughts are you?"

'Oh he did not just go there!' Bill hissed as angry clouds began to form around him.

The demons trembled in fear as they readied themselves for the tantrum that was Bill Cipher...

But nothing happened!?

Bill simply got up to leave, "I have something's to address before I allow myself to take a breather." the dream demon said coldly. "Please enjoy yourselves, and I will return shortly." he said and walked away.

"Okay what's up with him?" Keyhole asked as Bill disappeared behind the corner.

"Beats me" Hectorgon shrugged.

If he didn't want to waste his time on regeneration, then Bill would have sworn that he would have ripped his own eyeball out!

'I loved you!'

Bill growled as the words echoed once more ripping at his insides like rabid wolves feasting on a carcass.

'So what the kid loved me' he snapped. 'It only means my plan worked better than expected' he floated down the hall with ease. He suddenly made a left turn into another hall, of course he knew where he was going without even meaning to.

The hall way lead to a single door with a lock.

Bill snapped his fingers and a key appeared, he used it to unlock the door and walked it.

His trophy room!

Bill sighed as he looked at the thousands of golden trophies each on their own pedestal. Of course they weren't the usual form of trophies, no they were more like souvenirs from other dimensions. Back when he was younger Bill had the power to travel to any dimension of his choosing, which allowed him to cause havoc anywhere. And Every time he saw something he wanted, he took it and placed it here. He also kept frozen golden statues of his past enemies here as well. Along with some creatures he had fought in other worlds. He used to challenge anything bigger then him in any dimension you could think of, or that is until that Time Baby showed up and trapped all the demons in their own world; cutting the Nightmare Realm off from the rest of the multiverse.

Said restrictions made it much harder to expand his trophy collection.

'Harder yes, but not impossible!'

Bill floated through the rows and rows of dusty keep sakes, he knew he should turn back, that he should stop himself from doing what he was about to do. But it was as if his commonsense had abandon him. Bill stopped as he reached an iron chest that was resting on the floor in the back of the room.

The chest had a blue pine tree imprinted on it!

'If the boy's knew about this they'd question my leadership entirely.'

'You should throw it out!' his demonic nature snapped.

Bill ignored it and opened up the chest and looked at its contents; they were several different colored orbs.

Memory orbs to be exact, Since Bill had been trapped in his decaying realm the only souvenirs he could collect from other worlds were memories he had saved from his trips through the mindscape.

Bill picked up a blue orb and held it in his hand. If he opened the orb now, then a memory would pour out allowing him to relieve every moment as if it was happening for real. These orbs were especially useful when Bill wanted to relive a victory over a very powerful enemy, but this time he had used it for something else.

He knows that getting rid of the orbs is the best way to go, but something makes him cling to the memories that they hold.

'You enjoy laughing at him for falling for your obvious ploy!' his demons butted in as if it was obvious, but he knew it was a lie.

'Throw it away!' his demons hissed.

'Just one more peek.' Bill assured them and broke open the orb!

~Flash Back! ~

Peaceful...

The word use to be foreign to him, but Bill was beginning to learn that not all admirable things were wrapped in anguish, and dripping with blood. Take Pine Tree's mind for example; it was anything but chaotic. No, everything had its place, and so did everyone. The kid even had a place in his head where only he and Bill could meet. Of course Bill could manipulate the surroundings as he sees fit, but most of the time he kept it how it was.

It was dark out, and they were in clearing deep in the woods. And at the moment Pine Tree was staring off into the stars. And Bill himself was looking down on him from a tree branch.

Beauty...

It was another word that he had never known, for so long beautiful things had always been out of his reach. But now there was one gorgeous sapling who waited here in this place every night; just to see him. Bill had never known such devotion, even Sixer had demanded that their visits should stay professional. And Bill had to admit it was nice to just sit down and talk to someone who didn't expect anything from him. Sometimes they would talk about other worlds and galaxies that he had seen. And other times they'd just sit in silence and enjoy each other's company.

Bill's eye seems to curve into a blissful smile.

"Bill what is your world like?"

To say that he is caught off guard by the question would have been an understatement.

"My world?" Bill asked. "Trust me kid you don't want to hear about that gloomy old place."

"But I do." Dipper argued turning to give him a questioning look.

"Don't go there kid." Bill warned, his eye already turning a dangerous shade of black.

But the kid kept pressing. "Oh come on Bill I share stuff with you all the time, now it's your turn; talk!"

"What's there to tell, it's a flat 2 dimensional world, with flat minds, and even flatter dreams!" Bill said with a roll of his eye. "Trust me kid your world's way better."

"Well don't you have any friends?" Dipper asked.

"Friends?" Bill snapped "A demon doesn't have friends! All I have is a bunch of free loaders who ride off my cocktails!"

Pine Tree appears hurt by his words. "So that's all I am uh? Another free loader."

Bill's eye widens at his words. "You see me as a friend?"

"Uh well I guess so." Pine Tree says and rubs the back of his neck nervously.

Bill smiles and floats down to him, trying to ignore the fuzzy feeling that's slowly forming in his gut. 'I shouldn't of gotten involved with you kid.' It was not the first time this thought had come to mind. Of course he had only gotten involved for a reason, no it wasn't something that just happened. His end goal was simple really, Pine Tree was a very smart Kid, too smart! And he could easily become a dangerous enemy when his plans finally unfold; far more dangerous then Sixer ever was. So he needed a foot hold, something to use as leverage against the boy.

And it didn't take long for Bill to find that foot hold.

And what was that foothold you might ask?

Why the previous deal that they had already made of course!

It was simply, Bill had promised his sapling all the knowledge of the universe in exchange for a puppet. Sure he tricked the kid in the end which is why he couldn't control him now, but if the demon could befriend Pine Tree, and actually take the time to teach him all the knowledge of the universe, then Bill would soon have his puppet back. Luckily for the demon he wouldn't have to wait for Pine Tree to learn it all for the puppet strings to start binding him to the demon's will. No as long as Bill made an effort to teach the boy and stuck to that effort to the very end, then Pine Tree would be his forever! And the best part is the kid had no idea what was really going on! It was the perfect fail safe, a safety net; a double agent who had no idea he was his own enemy!

But now something was going amidst. Bill couldn't explain it, but he actually enjoyed the kid's company. He actually enjoyed teaching the boy about different worlds and magical spells. And the kid had turned out to be quiet the scholar! And as much as he hated to admit it what had once been a task to earn the boy's trust had now turned into a need to be close to him. A need that was so great that the dream demon would sometimes catch himself thinking about the boy whenever he was away. Sometimes he'd even catch himself pacing around the mindscape waiting for nightfall, counting down the seconds until he'd see the sapling again.

"Bill what are you thinking?"

Bill froze at Pine Tree's question. 'World domination!' should have been the first thing to come to mind, and usually it was; but this time... "You" Bill whispered as he tossed Pine Tree's hat a side and began to run his fingers through the kid's hair. Oh how he loved Pine Tree's hair, so soft and...Dare he say it?!

Soothing?!

Yes, he could just feel his troubles melting away.

'You're getting in to deep' his demons warned. But Bill chose to ignore his inner voices. After all his answer wasn't a total lie. Bill smiles as he watches as Pine Tree's face go bright pink. "Can I kiss you?" the demon asked.

Now it was Pine Tree's turn to be surprised.

Bill watched as his face turned even redder.

"Uh- what?" Pine Tree stammered his thoughts eminently going to their first night together at Soos' Party. They hadn't kissed since that night, and even though the demon would rather not tempt the fiery flames of love; he knows there is no other way. He needed to become Pine Tree's weakness, after all with their vast similarities; Bill knew that Pine Tree and Sixer would become great friends if Stanley ever managed to get him out of that portal.

"Can I kiss you?" he repeated.

Pine Tree's mind is screaming. 'What should I say? This is Bill Cipher we were talking about! He tried to destroy Stan's mind! He stole my body!'

Bill's eye changed to suggest a frown, 'Did I come on too strong?' God, he hoped he hadn't. He wanted this to work. Pine Tree was just sitting there, shifting every so often and looking at him with a shocked expression. He had come on too strong! Bill suddenly felt like taking his eye out and dousing it with acid! Maybe he should try to play it off and saying something like "Ha! Got you, kid," or something more equally clever.

"Sure."

'Wait did he just say-' before Bill can act the kid pulls him down by the arm and kisses his eye. The Demon froze for a moment and then his eye closes into lips and deepens the kiss.

Pine Tree pulls him closer, closing his eyes, his heart beating loudly in his ears.

The kiss is soft and light and Bill suddenly finds he doesn't want it to end. He is completely content with standing there for the rest of eternity, and he could tell that the kid felt the same way.

'What is this Kid doing to me?' Bill pulls away stumbling back a few steps.

Pine Tree instantly missing the feeling of Bill's lips on his when they part, but that doesn't stop the smile that slips on his face. "What's the matter Bill you act as if you've never kissed someone before?"

Bill's expression suddenly changes from a look of shock to one of frustration. Ever since day one of their friendship Bill had pestered the kid and Pine Tree had sworn that he'd get even someday.

And now he had!

Of course Bill wasn't about to let him know that.

Slowly Bill's expression goes from frustration to maniacal as his eye goes black and his fingers extend into claws. "If I were you kid, I'd run!" He warned, his hands beginning to glow blue. "Because we're playing tag and, I'M IT!"

Pine Tree goes instantly pale and rapidly scrambles to his feet and takes off running away from the demon. "You were asking for it!" he yelled.

Bill chases after him, and it doesn't take him long to catch his prey.

Pine Tree struggles, but Bill still's him with another kiss, this one hungrier than the last. Finally he breaks away leaving Pine Tree gasping for air.

"There now we're even" Bill stated. With a sly smile.

"Even! We were even before you went all psycho!" Pine Tree yells, But Bill doesn't want to hear it so instead he puts a finger to the boy's lips.

"Face it kid I won" Bill mused. "Now deal with it!"

Pine Tree tries to struggle free but it's no use, finally with a frustrating sigh he agrees. "Yeah whatever."

Bill smiles, and places the kid down.

Pine Tree slides his back down a tree trunk where he plops down to rest. Bill smiles, and takes his usual spot on top of the kid's fluffy head; and twirls his Pine Tree's hat on one finger.

"That was fun kid let's do it again some time." Bill laughed.

"You're insane!" Pine Tree snapped over the demon's laughter, but even he couldn't stop the smile that tugged at his lips.

Bill sighed, breathing heavily from laughing so hard. He settles down in his Pine Tree's hair and closes his eye, allowing himself to be surrounded by warmth.

'I could get use this.' he mused.

~Flash Back Ends! ~

Bill couldn't help but smile as the memory ended. Yeah it was a pretty cheesy memory, but it was honestly one of his favorites.

'Your favorites!' His inner demons screamed and suddenly he was surrounded by several versions of himself, each a different color.

These versions of Bill represented his inner demons, and each one of them betrayed the characteristics of the seven deadly sins. Every demon had to deal with the same internal struggle of the seven deadly sins, or their inner demons constantly fighting it out. Bill's end response depended on which one of the deadly sins won the battle.

"Look at you; that pathetic little weed has made you soft!" the deadly sin Pride hissed, glowing a dangerous shade of red.

"Has not!" Bill snapped clutching the orb close to him as the memory returns to it.

"Yes he has!" Pride growled, growing larger in size as its anger grew.

"You need to let this go Cipher" a black version of Bill hissed. Wrath, was the core of Bill's demon nature, at the root of everything he did there was rage! "You are a demon, act like it!"

"No keep it! This is your Pine Tree!" A purple version said in a husky voice.

"Stay out of this Lust, Bill doesn't need you filling his head with something as weak as desire!" Pride lashed out.

"Oh and being a prideful jerk all the time is so healthy!" Lust screamed.

"Oh please shut up your weak nature is making me sick!" Wrath snapped. "You've worked too hard to risk it all over some mortal that will be dead in seventy years!" Wrath lectured Bill. "You are so close and now you wish to jeopardies it all. You need to pull that weed Cipher Now!"

"Or you could just sit back and relax" Sloth, a blue version of Bill mused. "After all Teeth and 8 Ball are already going to eat him."

Wrath seemed to smile at this "Yes he is right the boy is as good as dead, so why do you hold on to these things?" he gestured to the memory orbs.

Bill seemed to consider the sin's words.

"Even Envy thinks it's stupid to want something that is no longer around." A pink version a Bill cut in.

"No you must keep them!" Greed, a green version of Bill snapped. "Every memory is worth its weight in gold and I must have them all!"

"And if someone sees them, say one of your soldiers what will you say?" Pride challenged.

"How does this sound" Wrath asked. "Oh those are just my precious memories of my little Pine Tree!"

Bill growled at his mockery.

"Sounds weak if you ask me." Pride admitted sickly.

Bill looked to the only version of himself who had not spoken, Gluttony! "Well?" Bill asked.

"Well what?" the Orange Bill asked.

"Aren't you going to give your input?" Bill snapped.

"I don't know can I drink all of his blood?" Gluttony asked hopefully.

"No he's already being eaten" Sloth pointed out.

"Then can I be the one to eat him?" Gluttony asked.

"No you idiot he's already dead!" Wrath screamed.

"Oh...well then I got nothing." Gluttony said with a shrug.

"Gee thanks." Bill said with a roll of his eye.

"Just get rid of it!" Wrath and Pride screamed as one.

"Keep it! Keep it!" Lust, Greed, and Envy chanted as Sloth and Gluttony just stood there.

Bill closed his eye and but his hands to his head as if trying to cover his ears. "Shut up they are mine and I'll do as I wish with them!" he screamed.

"Yes!" Lust exclaimed in celebration, but Pride wasn't going to give in that easily.

"Well would you look at this Wrath; such weakness" Pride taunted.

"Yeah I guess we can all say good bye to that crown." Wrath jeered.

"No!" Bill's eye snapped open. "THIS DIMENSION IS MINE! I'M THE ONE WHOSE DONE ALL THE WORK, I'VE EARNED THIS DAMN IT!" Bill screamed picking up the trunk of orbs. "AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME! ESPECIALLY SOME SNOT NOSE BRAT!" Bill throws the trunk against the far side wall causing the orbs to fly out and shatter on the floor.

Silence fell over the room as the memories scattered like dust and disappeared.

"There now no one, NO ONE! Will question my power!" Bill snapped and began to storm out of the room.

Lust chased after him "But Your Pine Tree he's-"

"I FELL NOTHING FOR THAT WORTHLESS BRAT AND I NEVER DID!" Bill hissed, and Lust backed off.

And with that the seven deadly sins vanished leaving Bill alone in the dark hallway.

"I feel nothing!" Bill Whispered. "...I never did."

Chapter End Notes

Author's Notes: sorry about the ending guys I'm not sure if I explained things well so
I'm going to try to back it up. Every demon in this story has it's own inner demons(the
seven deadly sins). And all the demons' decisions are influenced by the seven sins,
who actually appear to their owners as a form of themselves in a different color. So
basically Wrath, Greed, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, and Pride are the little devils on
Bill's shoulder influencing him to do bad things. They are the voices inside his crazy,
insane head!

So in other words in the ending Bill's different personalities are arguing with each
other about what Bill should do in this situation. So in short Bill is arguing with
himself!

And here we thought he couldn't get any crazier!

So I hope you got that from the chapter but if not I hope this explains it better.

Anyway thanks for reading the next chapter will be out Wednesday (hopefully!) So
until then this is...

Emily Signing off :)
