+Mystery Shack+

"Bill!"

First thing into the afternoon and Ford was already mad at Bill. What for? Well...

Bill ran into the living room, immediately seeking his human's comfort. He hanged into his triangle form and hid Dipper's head. Ford came following into the once the demon was almost sight. The guy saw him hide behind his great nephew's head.

"Bill come out here." Ford says in a pretty intimating tone.

"No!"

"Bill!"

Dipper, who was watching tv at the time, picked up the remote and turned the device off. He sighed before looking at Ford, "What did he do now Great Uncle Ford?"

Ford pulled out one of the journals from his inner pockets of his coat. Then opened to a specific page that was filled with drawings of triangles. "He ruined most of the pages in the 2nd journal! I can hardly read what I wrote."

"Bill, can you please come here?", Dipper says in a calm tone towards his demon. Bill peeked himself out and then came flying over into Dipper's cupped hands. "First, I'd like you to fix Great Uncle Ford's journal, then apologize. We'll have a nice little chat up in the attic about why you did that. Sound fair?"

Bill looked between Dipper and Ford. He quickly did just that, fixing the messed up pages, giving a quick sorry,  teleporting himself and Dipper to their room.

"So why Bill? You've been acting a little bit odd since after the kidnapping incident."

Bill was a silent a moment, transforming into his human form. "It hasn't been me acting weird for awhile, it's you PineTree." He saw the human looked by surprised by his response. "You've been more quite, less talkative about the supernatural, heck! You haven't even been looking at me once in the eye. We hardly talk anymore, and when we do it's only for a second." He kept telling the brunet as his voice kept rising. Bill looked Dipper straight in the eyes and pushed him down on the their bed. "You and your family, friends... All of you are hiding something from me right?! Especially you PineTree, I can tell! Please..."

Dipper started to feel something wet drop on his face. He looked at Bill's eyes tearing up and falling onto his face. Tears. They were coming from Bill, his demon was crying.

"...tell me."

Dipper wrapped his arms around Bill's neck and pulled him down on top of him. Sweet nothings were whispered into Bill's ear to sooth him. "Bill... It's okay alright... I'm not trying to hurt you like this, I'm just trying to help you. I'm sorry for making you feel this way." His fingers were combing through the demon's blond locks which calmed Bill all in the right ways. "Sleep Bill, I'll still be here when you wake up. I promise."

Bill fell into Dipper's comforting voice and words. His tense body relaxing in the teen's embrace. "Okay PineTree..." His eyes feel closed and he accepted the darkness of sleep.

"Good job holding yourself there Dipper."

The teen turned his attention to Dominic sitting on his sister's bed. He sighed as he shook his head, "It's getting a bit harder to keep it a secret from him. I'm not allowed to tell him, nobody else can either. Help me out here Dominic."

"The only thing we can do is wait for William to step in to talk to Bill. If we tell Bill it'll end up in a catastrophe probably involving lots of screaming and tears, possibly physical violence." Dominic told his friend taking care of the blond demon. He crossed his legs together watching the small actions that Dipper did his hand in Bill's hair.

"Then I'll talk with him now since I finally have a good chance to do a chat."

Both Dominic and Dipper looked down to see Bill's eyes half way open. Two silver color eyes looking tired.

"William..." Dominic says now as he has quickly switched places with Dipper. He put his hand up to place it on the tired man's cheek.

"Hello Love~" He says happily, but still tired evident in his voice.

Dipper sat where Dominic use to sit, on his sister's bed. He watched them with a slight envy in him. He wished it could have been him and Bill.

"I'll have a talk with Bill in the mindscape. I'll talk him a few things and let him fix things up, it's his job after all." William kisses Dominic's cheek and smiles. "I love you my PineTree."

Dominic kissed the blond back in the cheek. "I love you to my magician."

William's tired eyes fell close and went back to sleep. Even breathing came and went.

Dominic and Dipper switched places once again. "I apologized for making us switch places quickly Dipper. I just couldn't resist."

"It's okay Dominic. I would have probably done the same if Bill and I were in the same position."

Dominic could seen Dipper's expression was dropping to a sorrowful one. He decided to make it up to him by showing him something cute.

"Wanna see something cute Dip?" He smiled.

"Uh, sure I guess." Dipper replied uncertain.

The spirit of his past self walked over to them and sat on the other side of Bill. "Just whisper into his ear, he's pretty truthful when he sleeps. I did it to William a couple times when he naps before a show."

Dipper looked at his sleeping demon and decided to try it out.

+Bill's Dreamscape+

Bill sat in his dreamscape at a table across from another person. He looked identical to him, but he was also different as he sensed the aurora around him. "Who are you?"

"Shouldn't that be simple to answer Bill? We are one and the same after all." The blond said to him as he sipped his tea. He moved a chess piece on the board to take Bill's knight out.

"If I did know you, I would have said who you were already. Now tell me." He ordered the mysterious person. Bill was on he edge, this person could be powerful and dangerous. Dangerous for PineTree.

The man rolled his eyes, "Calm down Bill, I'm not here to hurt you or Dipper." Bill's surprised expression came through on his face. "I'm just here to talk to you. My love and I just want to help you remember your past."

"Your lover is who?"

The blond man snapped his fingers and an image of a brunet with blue brown eyes appeared.

"PineTree?!" Bill exclaimed getting up from his seat quickly.

"Calm yourself," The man snapped his fingers together and Bill was muted, "let me explain without you interrupting every time please."

Bill rolled his eyes and tried to use his magic to unmute himself, but it wasn't worked. He crossed his arms over his chest unamused.

"This is not your human, this is him way back in the past before he got reincarnated." He tells the blond demon as Bill listens. "We had feelings for each other way back when, although complications came up and neither of us were able to tell each other our true feelings." The mysterious person unmuted Bill to let him ask more questions after the slight explanations.

"So? What does this have to do with PineTree and I? More questionably, who are you?" Bill narrowed his eyes to make a glare towards the man.

The man placed his folded hands on his lap and smiled as he looked back at Bill. "I'm you Bill, I'm your past self known as William Rehpic. Though we are one and the same unlike Dipper and the rest, you lost your memories of us."

"I'm you... I don't believe it." The demon says in disbelief as he sat back in his chair. "I've always been a demon."

"That's where you are wrong Bill, we were human at first. After our love's tragic death we became human and walked the earth in misery." Will picked up his tea cup and took a sip. His gaze on his reflection in the liquid in the cup. "We just so happen to lose ourself after Blair's death since she was the last to leave us by her old age."

Bill nodded, "PineTree did mention her once, it sounded familiar." He fiddled with the hold of his cup. "So what now? I obviously forgot lots of things of my-um our past."

William drummed his fingers against the table gently. "All you have to do is start remembering Bill. Who we use to be, our past, our connections."

"I got that much already. I mean I've had a dream before, but it's kinda blurry. Remembering isn't that easy when a demon like us has been alive for forever." Bill groaned as he messes up his hair in frustration. Overthinking was making his head hurt worse.

"Then I suggest you fix the bonds with those people." Will says simply.

"Those people?"

Will snapped his fingers and their summoning appeared hovering over his hand. "These people, they", he looked hesitant to say," were our friends before. Although there were some very bad complications before we went our separate ways. All except Blair and our PineTree." He says with a soft smile at that last sentence.

Bill thought over William's smile at the mention of PineTree. They both had it for him, in the past and now in the present. PineTree really was someone who could be there when they needed help or comfort.

"Hey William," Bill says as he doesn't use a nickname for the other blond across from him.

William gave him a closed eyes smile. "Yes Bill?"

"Could you tell me everything? Even about our PineTree?"

"Of course."

+Back with Dipper+

Dipper hummed as continued to play with Bill's hair. It's soft like silk and the yellow reminded him of the color of the bright sun.

The earlier events, when Bill was sleeping and Dominic had shown the cute and truthful side of him, he got some answers from The little question session.

'Who knew Bill like being cuddled with him sometimes and that the demon also like DD and more D.' Dipper thought as he felt Bill shift to face his stomach. He blushed and it only worsen when Bill hugged him around the waist.

Bill nibbles a few words raging from warm and soft which made Dipper have to chuckle slightly. He pushes some of Bill's short hair behind his ear and placed a gentle kiss on the demon's cheek.

"Hey Bill?"

Bill didn't say anything and continued his sleep. He was far to comfortable laying against Dipper.

"Do you like me, Dipper Pines?"

"Absolutely not."
