Bill felt like he had been forgotten. It had been a month since he had seen his Dipper. His favorite plant never seemed to be anywhere, as though he wasn't coming at all. Bill found himself believing that more than once. Though, he did his best to ignore these feelings. He knew the more he though them, the more likely it was true. To him Dipper had broken his promise, the promise to never forget their love. These thoughts circled his mind as the Other propped himself on one knee in front of the demon. He held up a small golden ring, one engraved in blue flames of power. The sound of his voice snapped him back into reality, as he asked, "Bill Cipher, will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
Bill was paralyzed. He knew if he said no the Other might react terribly, but if he said yes…then he couldn't wait for Dipper to rescue him. Though a loophole stared him in the face, "I cannot. I am a demon, and demons cannot join in holy matrimony."
The Other chuckled in an amused fashion, "Oh, silly Bill. Don't you ever read the fine print? Demons cannot marry, but being in that body permanently means you are human. For all purposes you are human, and no matter what you say, that means you can get married." He smiled wide, "So what do you say my golden locket? Will you forever be mine? Bound to me by the word of God?"
"Your god is yourself Dipper." Bill pointed out.
"Well it is my word after all." He smirked.
Bill grimaced, "Can't I just refuse and remain your friend? I mean if you can even compare our relationship to anything positive."
The Other grinned, "You said we had a relationship, that's a start. It's not like I'm going to push this too much more, but I will add that it'll benefit the baby." He lightly put a hand on Bill's already rounding stomach, "Then it'll have a very stable family. Wouldn't you want it to be happy?"
"You know that's all I want it to be." Bill sighed, unamused.
"Then marry me! It'll be perfect! Right next to the beach, wind blowing through our hair, sand beneath our feet." He named a very beautiful scene.
Bill shook his head, "I'm not in love with you. I'd rather continue being single with my child, then being with you with our child. It's not your baby, it's mine."
The Other shook his head, "Don't say that, or I might react…drastically."
Bill backed up a bit, knowing what he meant, "It's my baby Dipper. It's mine and Pine tree's. "
"I am Pine tree! Forget the clone! If you keep talking about him I'll send someone to kill him! I will!" He yelled angrily, "He's not here! He forgot about you! Face it! Without me you've got nothing! Nothing!"
Bill was against the wall now, as he yelled. He wanted to escape, though his words made more and more sense. He agreed that his Dipper likely forgotten about him. He agreed that his Dipper likely didn't love him. He agreed his Dipper likely used him for sex. But this was just too much, and he knew it as tears welled up in his eyes.
Dipper stopped his assault when Bill sunk down to his knees. His expression softened, and he knelt back down, hugging onto the taller man. He held him close, and kissed his head.
Bill nuzzled into his shoulder without thinking, he just wanted affection. He was done being tough, he was done acting as though he wasn't affected by anything. Now he cried onto the Other's shirt. All of his pent up emotions showed as he had.
This threw off the other Dipper. He gently rubbed Bill's hair, shushing him lightly, "Shh, it's okay. I'm sorry I upset you."
Bill hugged him tightly, trying to calm himself down. It had been such a long time since he saw the one he had loved. Now he was in the arms of another man, and he found he couldn't care less. He sat up, sniffling lightly. He had, had enough, he was going to take revenge on his Dipper, "Dip?" He said it sweetly.
The Other stiffened, "Yes, what do you need?"
He leaned up, and whispered in his ear, "I want you Dipper, I'm done waiting."
Dipper smiled wide, and nodded. He picked him up, and carried him to his room. He didn't question his sudden change of heart, and was highly excited to get this done.
He laid him down on the bed, and climbed lightly over him, already beginning to pull off his clothes. This made Bill shiver lightly. The wrong Dipper, Bill knew now that this Dipper wasn't his Dipper. This Dipper wasn't marked. How, inconvenient to him this was. He was already almost nude, and yet he found his way in bed with the wrong Dipper! Now that'll be a story to tell the grandchildren.
He sat up a bit, and lightly kissed his neck, "Let me be on top...relax, I'll make you feel good."
Dipper gave a light tremble to his warm breath on his neck, "You're speaking my language!"
He then laid back, and let Bill on top of him. Bill rubbed his chest lightly, and laid half way on him. He purred softly and continued to lightly nibble his neck, and lick the small wounds he created.
When he sat up, he grasped the Other's neck tightly, catching him off guard.
"What a-ar-" he coughed loudly and choked.
Bill squeezed tighter and tighter, prepared to choke the life out of the man below him. He felt a surge of power pulsate throughout his body, but it was not adrenaline. No, it was much less simple than that.

Dipper had remained in the blackest void. He got used to being alone, and passed the time wondering where his sister and lover was at that moment. He imagined them being happy with their new found royalty in the other world.
He turned over, facing upwards, "I miss you Bill." He sighed to no one.
He had felt so numb while he floated. But recently he began to hear voices, and feel eyes on him. He would never find anyone, bit it was getting more frequent.
He listened now, listening to the whispers, "Hell…say…you're…"
He sighed and closed his eyes, "I wish I knew how to unlock this."
The voices picked up a bit more, "Unlock…use…mind…"
He opened his eyes again, "Use my mind? Isn't that where I am?"
"You'll see…" this whisper was right next to his ear, "You'll take it now...you'll see…"
Dipper looked over, and his eyes confused him as he stared at the blurry being next to him, "Today you'll wake up…today."
He sighed, "But I don't know how to unlock my powers. I'm not ready."
The being touched his head, "Then let's make a deal."
"A deal?" He repeated, "It depends on what you want."
The creature smiled, "It'll be a simple trade."
"Just tell me already." He said it harshly.
"Give me Bill's demonic soul." It ordered.
He shook his head, "No, I can't!"
"It won't affect him anymore Dipper. He's too human. I just want his remaining powers." It said.
He crossed his arms, "They aren't mine to give."
"I'll let you think about it." It began to float away.
He shook his head, "Wait!"
It paused, turning to him, "Wait?"
"It's a deal!" He yelled.
That's when he sprung awake.
