i close my eyes steadying my breath, opening my mind. the ground beneath me falls away, replaced by stars. i stand up and roll my head from side to side hearing it pop.

i wave my hand and a floor fades into existence. i lay down and look at the stars above me.

a cold black gloved hand removes my glasses. "see some interesting stars, or wishing on one?" bill asks quietly sitting next to me.

i raise my hand up to the sky above me and look ant my hand, all six fingers. "just thinking, what if i never met you. what if i never came to gravity falls. who would i have been someone else had i chosen to pursue other subjects." i say my voice heavy with thoughts. "not that i'm unhappy the way things are." bill runs his hand through my hair as i lower my hand.

"my muse what would i have done without you in my life." i says sighing.

"i muse about things theres no way of changing. i have found that all one can do to keep from drowning is what ifs, is to keep living, find something you cant live without." he says leaning down placing his forehead on mine. "or live to see someone every day." he finishes as his hair tickles my nose.

i grab the sides of his face, moving it so i can look him in the eyes. "bill, i think im falling in love with you. i know you are the equivalent of a god, what if you joined my in the human realm though. i think ive read of a ritual to bring you permanently to my realm, as a being of proper flesh, in whatever form you choose. i dont even know if you want that.." i say trying to read bills face.

"what if i said yes to this Stanford, would you get bored of me, would you abandon me if you learned of things ive done. would you trust me enough to let me explain things before running?" his voice laced with concern and doubt, eyes searching my face.

"of course, i trust you bill, as much as i trust myself." i say sitting up and pulling him close.

i tilt his head up and kiss him, his lips soft against mine. i focus my mind and the floor beneath us is gone, and he falls backwards, one of my hands holding him close by the back of his neck as i deepen the kiss.

we float through the void of stars spinning head over heals slowly. my other hand at bills lower back pulling him closer, both his hands tangled in the hair at the back of my head. bill moans softly as our tongues dance back and fourth.

i break the kiss for a moment, a string of saliva connecting us for a moment. bills face flushed pink, as he pouts at the loss of contact.

i grin as he pulls me back into a kiss.

"hey glasses! been a minute since you and i have had a chat. we need to talk." bill says as i feel an ice cold tap on my shoulder.

i turn around in my chair nodding. "i agree bill, the deal is off you cant use my body anymore. i cant handle the way he looks at me, wishing i were you." i say my voice falling, admitting my fears aloud. a yellow triangle in a top hat and a bowtie is floating in the middle of my study.

he nods with approval. "i couldnt have said it better myself." he says pulsing with yellow light with each word.

i stare at him for a moment connecting the dots in my head. "is this really your true form?" i ask my voice squeaking slightly due to the shock. "i guess i was never the right shape huh." i says as bill rolls his eye.

"haha, very funny. listen, dont go to the cabin for a few days. stanfords concentration cant be broken, theres only one chance every 30 years to get this right. if it fails due to you showing up, you will never know a moment of peace, every moment will be a living hell. equal to that of what would be caused by you if you show up." bill says his voice rising as his glow turns from yellow to red.

i nod pushing my glasses up. "what exactly is he doing?" i ask wondering what warrants such a threat. my question hangs in the air unanswered as bill disapears.

thunder booms in the distance as i get up and walk to the window, the sky perfectly clear and blue. i frown as i see the treetops swaying in the wind, with the next crack of thunder the sky darkens and lightning almost instantly lights up the sky.
