Dipper and Bill walked down the stairs laughing together. Once they were at the bottom of the stairs Bill stopped, pulled Dipper closed and kissed him. He said he was going to check on Mark and would be back. Dipper nodded okay and went to get another cup of coke. He didn't even remember where he left his previous cup.

Once he was making his way to the kitchen he saw Arabella and Mable sat on the couch. Arabella was talking way to closely to Mable and his sister was laughing the way she did when she was flattered. What was happening? Arabella made eye contact with Dipper as he stood there looking annoyed to say the least. She said something got up and made her way to Dipper. She grabbed his arm and dragged him to the kitchen.

"Were you flirting with my sister?" Dipper asked sounding protective.

"Did you and Bill just bone?" Arabella questioned back.

"I asked first."

"I was. Come on your sister hooks up a lot you should stop being jealous by now."

"I am not going to stop! And if Pacifica saw you she would have been pissed so I suggest you move on to someone else, okay?"

"You didn't answer my question. Did you two bone?"

"We did." Dipper responded in a small voice feeling his face go red.

"Oh my God, that is so him! Having sex instead of solving his fucking problems! I'm going to kill that fucking playboy." Arabella screamed sounding really pissed.

"No, no, no! We talked! We're okay now!" Dipper stopped her showing his hand with the ring.

Arry took a deep breath and smiled.

"Thank heavens. I'm so happy for you! Really he-"

She stopped suddenly looking at something behind Dipper.

"Hum, excuse me, you're the guy my brother is obsessed with aren't you?"

As soon as Dipper heard it, Arabella looked as she had seen a ghost and fled. Dipper turned and looked up at the person who had just talked to him.

"Will Cipher?"

Once you looked at Will you could see his resemblance with Bill and yet they didn't look at all like each other. Will was probably five centimeters smaller than Bill, which was still tall but was a normal tall not absurdly like Cipher. His entire hair was dyed a light blue that matched his eyes. Will was beautiful and yet he was different beautiful from Bill: if you looked closely at Bill even though he had the looks of a God he was intimidating, he looked like he could snap and destroy you in a second; Will looked kind and gentle, Dipper would even say that he looked helpful if you really looked at him. Will looked more like a respected king and Bill looked like a merciless God, the personality difference started at their looks.

Will moved his hand to scratch his head and opened a small smile.

"Yeah, that's me. Hope you haven't heard that much trash about me." He responded lightly.

"Not at all. I haven't heard that much actually." Dipper said for a second thinking if he had chosen the wrong Cipher. "My name is Dipper. Pines."

Will shook Dipper's hand still smiling. He didn't seem to have noticed Arabella running away. Or he didn't mind. Or he could hide it really well.

"So is my brother giving you a hard time?" Will questioned pouring himself a glass of coke.

"Hum, not really." Dipper answered feeling his whole face blush.

Will turned and looked at Dipper seeming to be scared.

"I am so sorry, I'm playing the big brother, right? Jesus, Bill would kill me if he saw this! Sorry, I really am." Will apologized.

"Are you really a Cipher?" Dipper looked at him surprised.

Will laughed.

"You aren't used to my brother apologizing?"

"Not really. Or being this nice. I mean he can be nice, he is most of the times. He's just really more… of a bad boy I guess. You seem nicer. Kinder definitely. I mean by now Bill would have probably been sarcastic twice and ironic at least once."

"Well, that does sound like my brother." Will said chuckling.

"It's not that I don't love him! I do! I'm kind of nervous talking to you, I'm sorry. This is not going how I want it to. Your brother is amazing; I have nothing to complain about him. He is awesome. I'm surprised he even likes me. He's the cool kind and I'm as far from that as possible."

"Well maybe that's why he likes you. Plus, you look cool to me."

"That's because you don't know me."

Will chuckled and turned to look at the party. Bill was standing next to Mark and they were both laughing as if they had just heard the funniest joke ever. Dipper smiled to himself. Nah, he was with the right Cipher. He loved that stupid bad boy.

"Thank God he didn't notice I'm hear yet. I wasn't supposed to leave my bedroom." Will confessed.

"Do you guys really don't get along anymore?" Dipper questioned trying to understand how a relationship as strong as brotherhood could just crumble.

"Hum, sometimes. It's… It's complicated you know. He has his reasons and I have mine too. We both have our moods."

"I see."

A tense and heavy silence fell upon them. Dipper wondered if he should walk away but he didn't want that conversation to end like that.

"Look" Will said breaking the silence "you seem like a nice person so be careful with Bill okay? I love him I truly do but he is… difficult to say the least. He has a bad habit of treating people like play things. At first he gives them all his time and attention and then when he gets tired of them he throws them away. I've seen it happen and it would be a shame if it happened to you, you seem different you really do. Don't let him break you."

With that Will walked away leaving Dipper behind. He was clutching his cup so hard he was surprised it didn't break. He hadn't just heard that. He couldn't have. Dipper couldn't move. Everything that he had just been given certainty of was taken away with a couple of words.

"Pine tree are you okay?" Bill said softly placing his hand on Dipper's arm. "You look pale."

"I-hum-I… I'm fine." Dipper struggled to let out.

"Did Will say something to you? Don't listen to him, he may look nice but he can cross lines sometimes and we aren't in the best of terms right now. Jesus Arry why didn't you fucking stay here? Look what happened!" Bill turned starting to argue with Arabella.

"No, Bill he didn't say anything. I just haven't eaten anything all night and I didn't expect to see him here. That's all." Dipper lied taking Bill's attention.

"You sure?" He questioned suspicious.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm going to get a slice of pizza and everything will be fine."

"Okay then whatever you say." Bill said taking a piece of hair off Dipper's eye.

At that moment Dipper saw once again something that he hadn't seen for a long time. They could argue, fight, not talk to each other, act as if they hated each other, but for a long time Dipper hadn't seen that sight for a long time. For months now- even though Dipper did remember it- he hadn't seen Bill look threatening.
