(Hey guys! So right here are a few sketches of Neal Shining in Demon Form and in the Flesh.^^

So I don't exactly have a good reputation with OCs ((*cough* Markus and Kaden *cough*)) but who wouldn't love this cinnamon roll??)

Y/N's POV

I looked to the left and right of me on the sidewalk but there was no sign of Bill anywhere. If he teleported then this would make finding him a lot harder. I'd trace him by using his thoughts but he is still blocking me. Why does he want me to stay away from him so badly? He's not actually thinking about what they said, is he? I swear if they actually made him think he is some monster then someone is going to pay either physically or mentally. I'll make sure of it.

I run down the street with people staring at me as I go. I don't bother to pay any attention to them as I am hoping I'm heading in the right direction. I probably should be paying more attention because I accidentally run into someone and fall down on my back. I look up to find Banshee lending a hand to help me up. "I'm so sorry, Banshee. Really, I am."

"It's okay, Master Star, no apologies necessary. Is something wrong?" Two years ago, Banshee and his partner, Beasty, worked for Kaden Psyche and helped him in his world domination. After I killed that purple monster, Banshee gave himself up to me to do my biddings until I released him from his position. Basically I have my own servant which I didn't exactly ask for but ended up with anyways.

"No, it's just- Bill heard some thoughts in the Cafe and then he left and I've been trying to find him but it seems he just disappeared out of thin air."

His one large white eye narrowed as if he were in thought before looking ahead towards the direction of the woods, "Bill tends to go into the woods whenever he likes to be alone, I suggest you go check there before going anywhere else."

A large smile formed on my face as I gave the shadow demon a quick hug, "Thanks for the tip! By the way, how have you and Beasty been for the past two years?"

"I have been just fine, Ms. Star, but I'm afraid I haven't seen that idiot since Kaden's death. I'm most certain he's dead by now seeing as that demon has no real brains to keep himself alive."

I thanked him one last time before saying goodbye and running into the woods. It feels as though I've just been running in circles but I know truly I haven't been. I've been searching for a long time and there still seems to be no sign of Bill. When he wants to hide, he really knows how to hide. This seems to be one of the things I hate about him because he doesn't just let me help but instead stays hidden until he has calmed himself down to where there is nothing I can help him with.

I end up running into the gnome village but with no gnomes in sight; most likely they're all hiding in fear of when Bill will come and kill the rest of them. I look over to my left to find the waterfall with the stream that endlessly flows below it. I tilt my head as I seem to make out a piece of golden hair sticking out from the other side of a giant rock placed next to the endless stream.

I slowly walk over to find Bill Cipher just staring at the water lost in thought. I sit next to him but he doesn't react; I frown and decide to rest my head on his shoulder which seems to startle him as I feel him tense but quickly his muscles relax seeing it was me. "I thought I told you I'd be right back."

"Right, seeing as you have gone all the way out here just to clear your thoughts. You weren't planning on coming back any time soon so don't lie to me."

He sighed before bringing his arm up to wrap around my shoulder and pull me closer to him. He closes his eye once more as he rests his lips on the top of my head not daring to move, eventually our breathing becomes in sync. We sit there in silence as I wait for Bill to talk to me but he doesn't seem like he wants to, like he just wants to avoid the entire problem and leave me out of it. I want to help but it doesn't seem like he wants it.

'That's not it.' he spoke in my mind. I look up as he moves some of my hair out of my face. "I'm sorry, my Star, I'm not trying to push you out of this. I just can't ignore the fact that they might be right. They aren't the first ones that have been thinking this after all."

"Bill..."

"Don't 'Bill' me this time, I know exactly what I'm saying and I believe in it. I'm Bill Cipher, dream demon who has killed and destroyed things. I have done things that you don't even know of and I don't plan on telling you because I'm afraid of what you'll think of me afterwards. I'm afraid that you'll finally see the truth in which everyone else has already figured out. I'm a monster whether you like to see it or not, Y/n, and villains...monsters like me don't deserve to be happy.

"I've basically shown this town what demons can do, I've made them fear me and every other demon that lives here now. Thanks to me, Mabel was afraid to even give Neal a chance and he has got to be the most soft hearted demon there is; I use to despise him for it. I've messed up everything, I've lied and betrayed countless of people, including you, and now no one trusts me. I'm surprised you're even still here with me, I've convinced myself that this has to be some type of act. I don't deserve to be in love with you, you deserve better than me."

He finally stopped talking and just stared at me with a hurt expression. He's not upset because those two women thought I didn't deserve him but because everyone else in this town thinks the same way...and now they are convincing him that they are right.

I've seen a monster and even after all the stuff I've heard Bill's done or the stuff he chooses to keep hidden from me about his past he doesn't even come close to being a monster. He's a demon, yes, but I don't see a monster in him.

I place my hands on either side of his face while leaning him closer to me as he looks at me questionably. I slowly lean in as I crash our lips to where no gap could be seen, he soon melts into it and kisses back. I held it there for as long as needed until his muscles seemed to not feel so tense but more calm and loosened. When we did release, his head darted down but I lifted his head back up making him annoyed.

"Bill, look at me and listen. I love you, Bill, and nothing is going to change that. No one's thoughts are ever going to make me question that. I'm not lying when I tell you I love you, I mean it with my whole heart. I have never met anyone like you and that's why you're special to me; you are irreplaceable and there's no one else I'd rather be with. Demon or not you are mine and mine alone and nothing will change that."

Our foreheads rested on each other as he sighed, staring into my (e/c) orbs while I stared into his golden one. We stayed silent while just sitting in this position for what seemed like an eternity. He subconsciously reached for my right hand and intertwined our fingers together.

"L oryh brx, Vwdu." Bill whispered, closing his eye.

"I love you too, Cipher."

I bit my bottom lip while looking at his now calm form, "Don't leave me, please. Don't run off next time, I want to help." He opened his eye and smiled slightly, beginning to caress my cheek. The one promise he has not broken, the one promise that has kept the two of us together. "Never." Bill said gently. Even the day I thought I lost him, the day I thought he died, he came back because he needed to keep that promise. He was not going to leave me and I know he never will.

We eventually decided to leave and as we reached the Mystery Shack, I could see two brunette girls sitting on the porch both boy crazed by the previous lunch events. Mabel saw the two of us and ran towards us. "Ahh! Best Date Ever! Thank you so much,Y/n and Bill, for coming along."

"Glad we could help. I take it you and Neal are good then?" I asked as she nodded her head excitedly, "I think Neal and I are going to be just fine. I was worried at first, him being a demon and all, but him and his ideas on his own clothing line plus his tips for mine just made him the perfect guy. He's different from the others and I think we're gonna work out, the two of us are a Match Made."

Mabel threw her fists in the air as Katelyn laughed from the porch. "She's been acting like this since we got back." she said as she began to walk towards us. Mabel explained more about the date until we all decided to head inside and not go out for the rest of the day. I think we all can agree that it had been a busy morning to last us the whole day and everyone deserves a break every now and then.

"So, my little Star, what would you like to do now?" the golden demon asked as he headed towards the vending machine, "I have no meetings or work to go to today."

"Well, I'm about to beat the Bill Cipher in a video game seeing as on our second date you would not let me win a single one."

"You're still upset about that? It's been two years, let it go."

I smirked and looked him in the eye, "Now that just sounds like a coward who is afraid of losing." He frowned and punched in the code before entering the elevator. "Okay, fine, I ruined the whole 'helping-Shooting-Star-with-her-date' thing so we will play a video game. Just know, I don't go easy on anybody and that includes you."

"I'm prepared."

And so the battle begins, best way to forget about earlier thoughts I believe.
