Another day, another performance. The sun was falling down behind the mountains and stars started to twinkle in the sky. The Gleefuls watched their satisfied audience head out the tent, smiling and waving at the twins. They waved back, grinning at each other.

"Another audience, another success!" Mabel exclaimed and pat his brother's shoulder. "I can't believe you actually allowed William to perform this time."

Dipper Gleeful looked at his sister with exaggerate eyes. "Without Will we could've lost our people! We could've gone out of business! THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I LET HIM PERFORM."

Mabel couldn't help but snort. "Oh sure," she retorted and clicked her heels on the floor. "Whatever you say, Mr. Gleeful." She giggled wittily and sauntered away into the back of the stage.

Dipper, disgruntled and agitated, sat on the small wooden staircase from the seating to the stage. He watched William from far away, narrowing his eyes. No men were in sight, but several women were still hanging around, taking pictures of and with William. They babbled things which grew into a huge conversation.

Feeling a little alone and a tad bit angered Dipper got to his feet and slowly walked his way towards the blue demon. He grew tall compared to the demon when he approached from behind, his face punctured with an immense expression of agitation. He shoved some ladies away and roughly grabbed William by his hair.

"What're you doing talking to these squeaky imbeciles?" Mr. Gleeful hissed.

William whimpered, clinging onto one of the women. "GET HIM AWAY FROM ME!" he commanded, staring innocently at the girls. Obliging to his command, they all glared at Dipper.

"Why are you always so violent towards your own assistant?" one of them asked with a calm voice.

"What? Is he like a servant to you!" another said, more rough and interrogating.

Dipper started at them, literally amused with some additional hate. "Are you really going to blame me? He's a demon! I abuse him so he knows that humans can be powerful than him! Without me commanding him with abuse, he'll KILL all of you." As he said this, this all wasn't true, despite Will being an actual demon. Mr. Gleeful never thought he'd think of this, but William is a sweet and loving demon once he's out on stage. He knew the poor sad, blue man wanted to feel special and loved. All William had were the ladies who thought he was cute, some men who thought he was amazing, and children who thought he was fun to play with.

"Wh...What?" all the women said with widened eyes. One of the girls pushed William off of her and screamed, running out of the tent in panic.

"What. You thought he was a magician man? Hah! Those are just demon abilities!" Dipper yelled and laughed.

All the ladies ran away, horrified and frightened at the truth. William frowned and finally decided to stand up for himself. He twirled himself around and stared angrily at his commander. He dared to set fire in his palms. He dared to kick him. He dared to punch him. He did all that until he realized he was going to get punished.

Mr. Gleeful struggled to get up, the pain and injuries forcing him down. He finally stood up straight, wobbling a little. He attempted to fight the agonizing pain of the burn marks on his own hands. He bit his lip and resisted how much it hurt. He stormed right up to Will, forcing him against the wall.

Startled and sorry, William screamed internally. "I-I'm really sorry, S-Sir...Please! Don't-"

As William was about to beg for mercy, Dipper embraced his luck to kiss the demon passionately. Not only did he want him to shut up, but this was also to tell him that no one could talk to him, touch him, or invite him somewhere except for himself, Dipper Gleeful.

As the kiss grew more passionate and time consuming, William reluctantly exchanged the kiss and slowly wrapped his arms around his master's neck, playing with his hair a little. Dipper slowly pulled away, leaning his forehead against Will's.

"You're mine...my one and only...don't let ANYONE talk to you, touch you, or even invite you to places...but the only person you can allow to do all of those to you is me," Dipper said. "...And that is no option..."

William reached all the way at the back of his mind, thinking this through. If he was actually to mistaken his master for being so cruel to him, he'd listen to his order. But if he continued to see him as an abusive monster...he'd probably kill him. But for now has seen him as an open book, expressing his words and unsure feelings.

"Alright then, fine," William answered. "But can you do me a favor?"

"Yes?" Dipper chimed, leaning in a little forward.

"C-Can you kiss me again?"

"...Alright." Dipper grabbed Will beneath his thighs and hoisted him in the air. Will straddled his legs around Dipper's waist and was pushed against the wall for support. Dipper leaned in, kissing him again with additional passion.

I love you, Dipper thought, but wouldn't actually say it. But I still hate you. But...you're my only demon...
