Chapter 13
It was in the middle of the night Dipper couldn't sleep again, it wasn't anything new but still… he had spent the whole day in bed, just standing up if it was completely necessary. He had a bottle of water next to his bed that was almost empty, except for that he hadn't eaten nor drank anything else that day. He didn't want to go to the kitchen, simply in fear that someone might see him in this situation, he knew Mabel probably had told everyone how he was feeling but he didn't want anyone to see his face, less notice that he had been crying.
He decided to pick up a new book to try to calm himself down, of course it wasn't working after a few minutes he decided to put it away, in that moment he remember the journal Grunkle Ford had given him. He immediately picked it up and started writing the incidents of the past few days. Of course it was a lot harder than he thought it would be… he had to cross out the half of the stuff he had written, it was really hard not mentioning certain events… since Ford would read the journal and how would he explain to Ford that he let fucking Bill Cipher stay in his house for days… every word he wrote turned out to make everything even more difficult. He decided to make a drawing of Bill's humanoid form. Dipper was a very talented artist so it wasn't a lot of work, he drew every single detail he could remember, and then certain details came to his mind once again. He closed the journal and put it aside turning red.
Meanwhile Bill was in his own little dimension watching every of Dipper's movements from his chair drinking wine again, enjoining it since he didn't know how long his body would hold. He was already getting weaker and he knew it, holding the bubble intact took quite a toll on him.
However watching Dipper in such a state didn't derive him any kind of pleasure as he thought it would… 'If he wouldn't be able to stay in this body for long why not enjoy it?' Bill thought to himself. He opened a rift from his dimension to the attic. Dipper was sitting on his bed as Bill entered the room through a rift. Dipper stood up at the sight of Bill.
"What are you doing here Cipher?" Dipper asked with a pissed tone.
"I'm going to enjoy myself" Bill said as he grinned. He snapped his fingers and Dipper was tied up with his hands behind his back and his mouth was gagged with cloth making him unable to speak.
Bill pushed Dipper back onto his bed placing himself over the teenager. Bill leaned in to lick Dipper's neck, at the same time ripping Dipper's shirt open. He started leaving hickeys and bite marks over Dipper's body. As he raised himself up again Bill saw Dipper's distressed face… it was covered in tears, his body was shivering in fear.
Bill got off Dipper the second he noticed this… he sat down on Mabel's bed in the other side of the room. He snapped his fingers again, loosening all the ropes that tied Dipper.
Dipper took the ropes off himself, wiping his face with his hands as fast as he could.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! Dipper yelled as he stood up.
"That's what I have been asking myself for the past days Pinetree…" Bill answered as he stood up as well.
"Just fuck off Bill!" Dipper yelled.
"No need to yell, you will wake everyone up and I'm not up for that" Bill said as he walked toward Dipper.
"If you haven't noticed I don't give a fuck about you want Bill! And stay back!" Dipper said as he stepped away from Bill that was getting closer.
"I've told you before Pinetree, this body will die in a few days without your blood and I can barely do anything at the moment so there is no need to run away from me" He said as he closed the gap that was between him and Dipper.
"What's with your freaking mood changes!? If you want my blood why not take it instead of making me suffer?!" Dipper yelled once again.
"I'm not used to human feelings, empathy is something I didn't have until a few days ago… seeing you suffering, tied up, crawling on all four and doing my willing would have been everything I wanted…" Bill said as he raised Dipper's chin with his hand, forcing Dipper to make eye contact. "But seeing you displeased hurts me now... I guess you call this awful feeling 'love' " Bill laughed.
Dipper couldn't even answer at that moment, Bill was still lifting his chin with his hand, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't bring a single word over his lips.
"Go ahead and laugh Pinetree… The great Bill Cipher fell for the human that defeated him…" Bill sighed as his eyes turned blue. "This is also new…" He said as he let go of Dipper. Bill tried to open a rift to get out of the room but without effort. "I will leave through the window… this body won't hold for more than a few hours" Bill said as he smiled wryly.
Dipper had never seen this expressions on Bill's face, nor seen him 'sad', Dipper was perplexed at Bill's words… love? Was this even possible? Dipper was busy with his thoughts for a few seconds as he came back to his senses Bill had already left the room through the window. Dipper leaned out to see the direction the demon was heading and ran downstairs. He knew he probably woke up everyone but that didn't matter he just ran out of the Shack in the direction the demon was headed, Bill had already disappeared of Dipper's sight into the woods, Dipper started yelling the demons name hoping for an answer. He kept running in the direction he thought the demon was, as he ran out of breath he had to stop for a moment…
"That's it…" Dipper thought to himself. "Cipher I want to make a deal!" He yelled into the woods. The demon immediately emerged from the imminent shadows.
"What is it now Pinetree?" He said as he raised his eyebrow.
"You can stay at the Shack! You can take my blood when you need it! But in exchange you will have to let me do proper research on your body! And you will have to answer my questions! ALL OF THEM and you have to tell the truth no matter what I ask!" Dipper said as he reached his hand out to Bill.
"Why would I want that?" Bill answered as he moved closer to Dipper. "The only thing this body has caused me is trouble why would I want to keep it?"
Dipper couldn't believe what he just heard, he grabbed the demon by the collar pulling him down since Dipper was shorter. "You piss me off…" Dipper said as he pulled the demon in for a kiss, as Dipper backed up to talk Bill took a few steps back "I don't care if you want to! I want answers from you!" He yelled.
Bill grinned at Dipper's demand "Then I will put my terms now Mason" Bill said as he pinned Dipper onto a tree. "I will only take that deal if you answer this question truthfully"
"Sure… and I told you before don't call me by my name…" Dipper said as he shivered.
"What was that kiss? Do you like me or was it to get me to make that deal?" Bill asked as he kept Dipper pushed against the tree.
"I..I…" Dipper couldn't answer… he blushed and looked down to his feet. 'Of course I like you…' Dipper thought to himself.
Bill grinned "No, say it" He said as he lifted Dipper's chin.
Dipper turned red the second he realized the demon could still read minds. "No way!" Dipper said as he tried to push Bill away without effort.
"Then there is no deal" Bill said as he grinned with his eerie smile.
It took Dipper a few seconds… "Fine… I… I… uhm…" It took Dipper a few seconds until he came up with an idea "Saranghae… There I said it you didn't say in what language!" Dipper smiled like he had won some kind of contest.
"Na-do saranghae" Bill said as he leaned in to kiss Dipper who wasn't prepared for it, with that sealing the contract in a different way than he usually did. As Bill slowly backed up Dipper covered his face in embarrassment.
"Don't try to fuck with me kid I speak every language in existence" Bill said as he smiled. "Why Korean? Bill asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"It's a thing Candy kept yelling when reading her love novels… so I asked her what that meant" Dipper said ashamed. "We need to keep this a secret please…" Dipper said "Specially Grunkle Ford isn't allowed to find out…"
"Whatever… But when we are alone I can and will behave however I please, I hope you are aware of that Pinetree" Bill said as he started walking.
"You always do whatever you want anyway…" Dipper said as he blushed and started following Bill out of the forest. "And get changed before you enter since I probably woke everyone up…"
Bill looked as his attire, snapping his fingers with it changing to some casual black pants with a grey hoodie. "Dipper you know I will have to take your blood as soon as we get in…"
"I realized that as you said your body won't hold for more than a few hours… I will keep Mabel out of the room for today…" Dipper said as he turned red.
"It won't be as bad as the last time I promise…" Bill said with a concerned face as they were almost back at the Shack. As they predicted Mabel was up and waiting for them at the door.
"Dipper are you ok?" She said as she hurried to hug her brother.
"I'm fine Mabel…" Dipper answered hugging his sister back.
She loosened from the hug, looking at Bill pissed. "If you do anything to my brother I'll…"
"I know you will punch me again…" Bill said as he entered the Shack and headed upstairs to the attic room, while Dipper stayed back with his sister.
"You what..?" Dipper asked.
"I paid Bill a visit while you were sulking no biggie" She said as she smiled.
"So you found out…" Dipper said as he sank his head.
"Hmm? Of course… I mean it's ok" She smiled "As long as you are happy and he calms down"
"Did you tell anyone…?" Dipper asked ashamed.
"No, don't worry bro-bro and I won't"
"Thank you Mabel… awkward sibling hug?" Dipper asked.
"Awkward sibling hug" She said as she hugged her brother.
"Pat, Pat" They said in unison.
"Oh and Mabel… do you mind… you know sleeping downstairs tonight?" Dipper asked embarrassed.
"W.. what? Already…?" She said as both entered the house.
"What do you mean already?" Dipper asked as he started heading upstairs.
"Uh.. Nothing" Mabel said as she ran off laughing.
Dipper headed upstairs where Bill was already waiting lying on Dipper's bed, Dipper locked the door behind him… just in case and sat next to Bill on his bed.
"Go ahead…" Dipper said as he took his T-shirt off "The last time the shirt got tainted with blood…"
"Then lay down…" Bill said as he sat up to change places with Dipper.
"Let me hold onto you…" Dipper said as he sat on Bill's lap. "It does hurt a bit… I just didn't want to sound weak…"
"Just hold yourself where you want to… if it hurts that bad just hang on tighter…" Bill said as he moved closer to Dipper's neck, kissing it softly and licking the sport before Bill inserted his sharp teeth into Dipper's flesh. Dipper let out a moan as his flesh was pierced, scratching Bill's back as he tried to hold onto him.
As he was done Bill licked Dipper's wound one last time, with this making it close in seconds.
