A/N: So Bill's ready for his plan with Dipper, what do you think will happen?
***
In a candle lit room, a golden eye with blue speckles read across the pages of the worn book, he now wore a black button up shirt with a yellow tailcoat with a brick like pattern. He had black slacks, dress shoes, and his eye patch; his blond hair was brushed back to its original style with bangs sweeping over his patched eye, although there was an added feature, the light blue streaks in his hair.
'This is what I wanted...'
He moved the book out from in front of his face and looked at what laid before him, in the middle of the floor was a drawn circle with demon tongued writing rounding the inside, three candles stood on the outside in a triangle formation, and a crescent shaped moon in the center of the drawing. The windows' curtains were drawn closed, but the candles in the room illumined something that laid on top of the summoning circle. Curled up in the center was a young brunet boy with aqua stars tattooed around his closed eyes, he only wore an oversized white top with slightly baggy pants, and no shoes.
Sighing, Bill stepped closer to circle with the book opened in his hands, "This is all for you Stardust..."
He slowly began to circle the drawn picture that held the smaller male, he began chanting words from the book in demonic tongue, the candle lights flickered and a breeze filled the room that had no source; but Bill didn't waver, he kept going, spouting the mantra from the book over and over. The wind picked up speed, causing Bill's now multicolored hair to tousle, but in the corner of his visible eye he saw a pale blue light surround the boy in the circle, gently lifting him a few feet off the ground, a slight look of discomfort made its way across the brunet's features.
'This was the only reason I kept him...'
Bill's voice grew louder as the wind roared in the room, he kept going, his clothes blew harshly in the wind as he dug his heals into the wooden floor to stay in place. He watched as the floating teen began to squirm, the blue light flickered into a pale pink, then back to blue, and back to pink once again. Pale lids snapped open revealing nothing but white, as a scream tore through his throat, Bill winced at the sound that barely broke through the wind, but regardless he continued, only to stop when the pink light seemed to melt into the teen's body. The wind stopped, and the candles went out when the body fell back onto the floor.
The blond dream demon rushed over to the fallen body, dropping the book, he kneeled down by the body as he looked over the unconscious face, he lifted their head into his lap, his golden eye widen at what happened next. Starting from the roots, the brown hair turned into an inky black, white speckles then faded, scattered through the inky locks, and light faded blotches of pink and blue also faded through, giving it a galactic space look. The already pale skin turned more pale, almost white, allowing the aqua stars to be more prominent. "Stardust...?"
Very pale eyelids twitched slightly before they opened, revealing pale pink iris. They glanced around the room before looking up, only to meet a tanned dream demon's face with a golden eye with blue specks. They slowly reached their arm up and their fingertips touched the demon's face, a small smile spread across their face, their voice was soft, but wasn't exactly male or female, "Hello my love."
A laugh escaped the demon as his eye began to mist, "You're back, you're really back. I missed you, so much."
He pulled the dark haired being up their back on his chest, pulling them closer to him. A small laugh left pale lips as they adjusted themselves into Bill's lap, "I missed you too."
They sat on the floor for what felt like hours, Bill's arms wrapped around their waist as he held them close, his nose buried in their dark colored hair. The pale figure's fingers lightly tracing Bill's face, "Bill, as much as I love being in your arms, why don't we go and do something fun?"
The dream demon's eye shone at the thought, a small grin making its way on his tanned face, "Wanna mess with the others?"
A smile graced the other's features, "It's been awhile, why not."
Bill's grin widen as he stood, bringing Stardust up with him, "Let's go then."
A tanned hand intertwined with a pale one, he started to lead the way out of the room, a smile on both of their faces, but when Bill's back turned that smile slackened, and pale pink eyes looked at Bill's hair. His golden blond locks was tainted with blue streaks, and remembering his eyes they were the same. A silent sigh left the galactic haired being as a sad look crossed their eyes, they felt their heart clench, but put on a smile as soon as Bill looked back at them, he looked happy, and yet one could see his suppressed heartache, if they looked.
2 Hours Later
Laughter echoed in the lounge as clinking glasses could be heard, "Cheers to the happy couple!"
Bill's splitting grin grew wider as he downed another glass, his arm wrapped around Stardust's slim waist who was sitting on his lap. They held their own glass as they took small sips, a small smile graced their face as they watched the demons before them, drinking from their glasses and laughing away.
Stardust's eyes gazed at the demons around them, a tiny frown marking their pale face as they looked into the reflective blue drink. "Hey Starry!"
Their head jerked and turned towards the pink demon, a huge grin on her face, "So when are you gonna get rid of that meat sack of a body?"
Pale pink eyes stared into hot magenta, "Actually that isn't possible, my soul is intertwined with Dipper's, and it's rooted in this vessel, I can't leave it."
Wide eyes stared at the pale figure, 8-ball asked, "So your stuck in a human body?"
Stardust's eyes narrowed at the demon, "Is that a problem?"
"N-no of course not, just..."
A golden eye flared at the green demon as Bill pulled the galactic haired being closer, "That's enough!"
The dream demon's golden eye glared at the demons, daring them to speak against them, "There is nothing wrong with Stardust's body, they're back and that is all that should matter!"
"Bill it's nothing like th-"
"Let's go." Bill started darkly as he stood, holding Stardust close, he teleported away, leaving the demons alone in the lounge, "What's his problem?"
Bill appeared in his room with Stardust pulled to his chest, an sigh escaped him as he pulled away, the pale figure turned to look at Bill, his hair still had the blue streaks and his eyes still held blue specks, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blow up like that I just-"
"Hey now it's okay, lets just stay up here for a bit to cool down."
The blond and blue haired demon sighed, "Yeah..."
He laid down on the bed, resting a tanned arm over his eyes, Stardust turned towards the bed only to feel a shutter run down their spine, their chest tightened, and breathing hitched. Biting their pale lips, they forced their legs to move and sit on the bed. 'It's going to be okay...I'm going to fix this.'
Stardust forced their body into a laying position as they rested their head on Bill's chest, pale pink eyes closed as they felt a hand rake through their dark colored hair. A small sigh left Stardust as they barely opened their eyes, looking over at the tanned demon, they saw Bill looking at the blue and white hat across the bed on the nightstand, a look of longing, guilt, regret, and shame filled his visible eye, a few more blue specks appeared in his golden orb.
'I'm sorry Bill...'
"Hey Bill?"
The dream demon's head snapped back over to the being who's head laid on his chest, a small smile broke out on his face, "Yes my love?"
"Why don't we have a party, a welcome back party?"
Bill's grin widen as he sat up on the bed, "A party, what a fantastic idea! We can hold it tonight!"
Stardust sat up and turned towards the golden eyed demon, "Just like old times?"
"Exactly! This'll be a blast!"
The galactic haired being shifted to lean closer to the tanned demon's face, their forehead connecting with his, "Then I guess we should get ready."
Hours Later
Bill paced outside the double doors, he wore a bright yellow tux with a black undershirt, and black shoes. He had his iconic black bowtie and thin top hat, with solid black gloves covering his tanned hands, his golden hair and eye still had the blue specks and streaks.
He nibbled on his lips as he waited, only to hear an audible click of the door opening, spinning on his heal he turned and saw a breath taking sight, Stardust had their hair straightened, reaching their shoulders with the sides in small curls, they wore a deep grey long sleeved shirt with a half yellow half pink vest, they had black pants with the ends that looked dipped in blue paint on the pants cuffs, and their shoes were black flats with golden toes, and around their neck was the necklace that held the interlocked triangle and crescent moon charms.
Bill smiled at Stardust, he took some steps forwards, wrapping his arms around the smaller one's waist, "You look wonderful."
"As do you, like always." A small smile graced their features as they moved to lock arms with the demon in yellow, "So shall we go?"
"Let's show them we're back in businesses."
Stardust gave a small grimace as they turned and made their way to a pair of giant doors, opening revealing a massive golden ballroom, with pink stars and yellow triangles patterned the floor and a ginormous chandler hung from the ceiling. The room held all of the Henchmaniacs all dressed in their finest, grinning at the couple.
The duo walked to the center of the room, the lights dimmed with a spotlight on the two, Bill turned and intertwined his fingers with Stardust's, "Ready?"
Stardust's smile didn't reach their eyes, but they gave a small smile and nodded. Music flowed in the room as they began to move in sync. The spotlight on them on all times, as they twirled one another and avoided each others feet. Soon Bill tossed Stardust into the air, only to catch them and end with them being dipped in his arms.
Bill and Stardust smiled as they looked in one another's eyes, it held so much love and passion, yet their smiles didn't reach their eyes, as if their was sorrow and remorse holding them back. "Care for another?"
Stardust's eyes sadden as they watched as a new blue streak faded into his hair, starting from the roots and ending at the tips. "Of course."
They continued dancing with one another for hours, and hours. The demons of the room watching in awe at the couple made magic on the dance floor.
It wasn't till the nightmare realm's moon was up that duo stopped, "You guys keep the party going, Stardust and I want some one on one time."
The demons made some catcalls as the two left hand in hand. The two walked down the halls and out into the brightly colored garden, Bill lead Stardust down the path and to the bench in front of the statue of the two of them, he sat down bringing Stardust with him. His golden with blue specked eye stared into pale pink, his eye was soft and sadden. "Stardust, you haven't been yourself, is something wrong?"
Their eyes widen slightly, but quickly softened, "So you noticed?"
"Of course I noticed, why wouldn't I?"
A sigh escaped pale lips, "Bill I love you, you know I do, so much. It killed me inside when I was killed, I knew how much it would hurt you, how much it would affect you...That's why I placed myself in reincarnation, even though I knew some creature would end up suffering because of me, just so that maybe one day I would be able to see you again, and tell you how much I love you, and that what happened wasn't your fault."
"Is this what it's all about? Stardust-"
"No...There's more."
A shaky sigh left the pale figure as they grabbed onto Bill's hands, "You love him Bill...You love him and you know it."
"What are you-"
"You love Dipper, and don't you deny it!"
Bill's posture stiffened as Stardust's words, the blue spreading in his hair and eye as he felt his heart clench at the thought of the teen.
Stardust's head jerked up as they looked Bill in the eye. "Even before you brought me back I knew you felt something for Dipper. And now you're trying to suppress it just because I'm back, and you don't think you could love anyone else, but Bill you can."
"Stardust I don't-"
"Your hair and eye have been turning blue and it has since you raped him, I can see it in your eyes, what you did to him affected me, just by being in our old room, I wanted to get away because this body, Dipper's body, was afraid, and it made me afraid, but I toughed it out for you because I wanted this day to be wonderful, so I can say goodbye."
"Goodbye? Wh-what are you-?"
"I was never on planning on staying if I was ever brought back, you know I can't do that, but I want to tell you so much, that-"
"No! You can't leave me, not again! I won't let you!" Bill's voice grew distorted as hits of red tried to invade his hair and eyes, his aura changing dramatically.
Stardust sighed as they knew what had happened to their beloved. Placing both of their hands on the sides of Bill's head, causing the now multicolored haired demon to still, they forcefully leaned the angry dream demon towards them, their foreheads touching. "I'm sorry I did this to you my love."
They closed their eyes as they whispered, "From two split halves, to a tormented soul. Please go back to make it whole. Never split as I say, from anger to sadness, and to love and to hate, I cast these two back to one ."
Bill's visible eye widen as the red faded from his eye and hair, but the blue remained as he blinked at his beloved, "Stardust, I-I don't know what-"
"It's okay Bill, it wasn't your fault, none of this was. You need to stop blaming yourself for everything that happened."
"But it wa-"
"No! Stop it, stop blaming yourself for my choices. I died and it was my actions, not yours. And I have never blamed you, nor will I ever do so. "
Bill's eye began to mist over as the pale being continued, "You need to let it go, you need to let me go, and move on. You love Dipper, and I think he's what'll help you move on from me. You're allowed to love Bill, you're allowed to move on."
A tear fell, leaving a wet trail down dream demon's tanned face, "But I don't wanna move on, you're my one and only."
"I don't have to be your only, Bill. It was unfortunate that I died, and I hated that I had to leave you alone, but you have to move on, I can't stay in this body, it isn't right, he never asked for this...Now I have to make things right. I have to let, not only him, but you go as well. You love this mortal-" They were then cut off.
"Yes! Okay I'll admit it, I do feel for Pine Tree, a lot, like when we were young. He makes me feel like what you made me feel," A sob escaped the demon, "But he will never feel like I do cause of what I did to him..." Another sob escaped.
Stardust leaned their head forward, the two's foreheads touching, "I'm so sorry for causing all of this heartbreak, I'll fix this, I promise."
Bill blinked at their words, but his thoughts stopped as they tilted their head and kissed him on the lips, in a loving but passionate kiss. "I love you Bill, goodbye."
They rested their pale pink eyes as a breath left the pale being, as it fell onto Bill, who held it in a close and loving embrace, the hair faded back into brown, starting from the tips and reversing to the roots, and the very pale skin fading to a normal, healthy looking color. Bill's eye filled with more tears as he held the body closer, Dipper's body. "I'm sorry, Pine Tree, I'll try and make it up to you."
He glanced at the statue of him and his first love, "I'll make it up to both of you."
He sobbed, holding the body, while rocking himself in a rhythmic motion.
He was going to try and make things right.
