How should I say this? Well, in summary, Bill technically 'stole' your physical body and now you're just a floating ghost following him around. How great is it being a ghost in which only Bill can see you? Not so great. It was more boring than you anticipated.
Bill On the other hand seems to be enjoying himself in your body. Yes, he was still having trouble walking and he kept getting himself hurt when bumping into random poles, buildings or even falling down to the ground. This guy was not the definition of being careful whatsoever.
You kept trailing off behind him while looking around the area around you. It was weird being able to be like an actual ghost but you weren't dead. Well, you hope you weren't. But, to say the least. You were just safeguarding Cipher over here.
"Oo! Look at that!" 'You', well, not you but Bill. Bill pointed towards a toddler who seemed to be crying cause their ice cream fell on the ground. "Ehh.." you couldn't help but felt bad for the kid, that must have sucked. But it was still funny, to say the least. "Haha! Human emotions are hilarious!" Bill said with a slight laugh and you shrugged. "When you say it like that... kinda." I just agreed, not knowing what he's going to do next.
Soon, you realize that Bill has stopped walking. You stopped moving forward to look at him, to see that he was looking at a certain direction. "What?" You questioned, raising an eyebrow towards him, but no answer. You just decided to look at where he was looking and saw that it was Ford, Mabel, and Dipper together.
Bill let out a small sigh and when he was going to make his escape, away from those three's view. Unfortunately, "Y/n?" You and Bill heard Ford's voice calling out to 'you'. Bill froze and didn't know what to do, he knew that Ford would know soon if he even made eye contact with the guy. So, he just decided to respond without looking back at them. "Eh, hey- sixer- i-i mean, Grunkle Ford-!" Bill let out a nervous laugh and you could just watch the whole conversation without being seen by the three, except Bill.
The three looked confused at 'your' weird behavior but they just shrugged it off. Mabel and Dipper just thought that since you were known as the 'weird kid' in the family, they were used to this behavior of yours. Although, plot twist! It isn't actually you.
"Are you ok Y/n?" Ford was the first one to speak and he was indeed worried. The two twins in the other hand wasn't the slightest bit worried or concerned like Ford, they were just curious why you wouldn't look at them. "Uh, me? Oh! I'm so great! Could jump off a building right now-!" Bill said and out with another weird sounding laugh. "This is not how I act. Well, for some part.." you muttered while looking at Bill avoiding eye contact with the others. He was really sweating badly, you could see it in his face so visibly.
"Y/n, if you aren't feeling well then you can tell us-" Ford was soon cut off when Bill spoke up. "No no! Feeling so great- i- uh, I'll head off! Bye bye!" Bill said before running off as fast as he could. You look over to Bill running off and you followed right behind him. "Hey! Wait for me-!" You yelled out.
As soon as you two reached a more quiet place, Bill was sweating and he was catching his breath. Actually, you were more concerned about how the heck did he run without actually falling to the floor. "Hey, are you ok?" You asked and you floated beside him. "I..- how in the actual dreamscape do you humans get tired so easily!?" He said while half yelling. He was catching his breath before falling to the ground. ". . ." Silence was your only response.
"I don't know! Ask God or something!" You shouted at him and you could see Bill rolling his eyes. "Shut up kid! I don't want to know and I don't care!" Yeah, it seems Bill and you will have a complicated relationship. But despite you two acting like this, you two did have something in common. But, you'll know soon what it was. Want to take a guess?
"Stop acting like a child and we'll get along just fine." You were definitely annoyed by Bill's constant act, similar to that of a child. Yet, you weren't as bothered, due to the fact that your siblings acted more troublesome and annoying. I think you can handle a few tantrums from a demon older than your two grunkles combined.
"Oh? I'm acting like a child? Well, plot twist! I am way older than you!" Bill yelled slightly towards you. It was kind of weird hearing these from your body but it wasn't actually you. Actually, you would have just let him unattended and do some ghost things on your own. But then again, you don't trust Bill all alone without supervision. So, it's like leaving a child without an adult.
"You-" You were about to say more when suddenly the same black cat appeared just right behind Bill. Bill looked at the cat, dead in the eyes and with pure silence. It was like the previous silliness he had before just disappeared when that cat appeared out of nowhere.
"What do you want." Bill's voice sounded serious, very serious. He seemed cautious and didn't blink while staring at the cat who was also staring back up at him. "Bill, I don't think it's worth trying to make a conversation with this cat-" I tried to settle him down but it didn't work, sadly. Bill shrugged you off and still looked at the cat, before responding to you. "Kid, this is my business with this abomination. Stay out of it." As soon as Bill called it an abomination, you could feel the tension rising.
"Abomination? Are you serious?" The cat spoke up and you couldn't help but feel taken aback. Did that cat just-? "Yes, I talked." Like it just read your mind, the cat responded immediately to what you were just thinking. "How did you-" you managed to utter a word at it and the cat let out an unsettling laugh. Despite this thing in such a fluffy and adorable physical form, they had a stern voice for sure, and you could guess that this cat was definitely a dude.
"I'm a demon, kid. I just know." He answered, taking a small glance at you. It was no surprise that this guy could see you too, even though you were practically invisible to the human eye. I mean, it was no surprise obviously. "Don't talk to him," Bill warned as he was about to explode just by that cat being in the same place as him. "Why are you here? What do you want? And what's your purpose!?" Bill shouted slightly, not wanting to be too loud to grab unwanted attention. "Don't act like you don't know. You did something unspeakable to me, Cipher." He said, with a hard glare at Bill. At that mention, Bill froze and didn't say anything more. "I have my reasons-" Bill tried to defend himself but it didn't help. "Talking out of this will not help your situation." He said sternly, not opened in any negotiations with Bill, which you didn't know the full context of this. How did these two know each other in the first place? And, what happened at the end?
"Then our conversation is finished, done." Bill didn't want to waste his time on this, so he just decided to end the talk here. The cat just rolled his eyes and was about to leave when he turned to look at you. "Nyx. My name is Nyx." And just that, he disappeared.
"Nyx.." you muttered quietly as you stared at the spot where he previously was. "Don't even think about talking to him, kid." Bill warned again. It seemed Bill really didn't like Nyx at all. "What happened to you two? I mean, were you two friends?" You asked, curious at Bill's answer but he just sighed before speaking. "It's a long history, it's boring to listen to." Bill said while avoiding eye contact from you. "But.. if it was a deal, then-" You could feel yourself just looking at him with a blank look. "No." Was your only response to his unfinished sentences. "Oh come on~ I thought you wanted to know!" The Bill you knew very well came back. He sounded playful, humorous, and also some fun mischief in there. You let out a sigh but soon a smile came to your face. "I'll think about it." Your answer made Bill smirk in a way that really said 'I know you want to do it' which wasn't wrong. You were curious to find about a history that probably happened eons ago.
As your conversation about the whole thing was over. You and Bill decided to go back to the shack and finish the day off. Infact, Bill said he was getting weirdly exhausted and he didn't know why, I explained that was just how the human body is, the body has their own limit and Bill's response was; "You humans are weak" . . .Yeah, that's just how it is.
All the way back to the shack, you and Bill didn't exchange a single word, it was awkward and it also felt uncomfortable. Maybe Bill is rethinking about the whole deal thing and making him tell the truth about his relationship with Nyx back then and how it came to be now. I mean, it's not like everyone wants to share their personal backstory with someone they barely know. But that is what it is. This is a weird world we live in.
After getting back to the shack, the first person to greet 'you' was someone you weren't expecting to be in the shack in the first place. The gift shop was empty, except that the same cat was there again. Maybe I should stop calling him cat and actually call him by his actual name. Nyx.
"Nyx?" You called out to him and he looked over to you with a meow sound. "Hello Y/n!" Nyx said in a more softer tone than he had before when you first heard his voice. Bill certainly did not like that he was here, Nyx knew that he himself and Bill did not like each other's company, and it proved by the tension itself. The tension in the gift shop was heavy and tense. What was going on with these two?
"Ok. I get it you two." You stepped in between to try to calm down the two demons, trying to prevent a fight from breaking out. If they would actually do that though.
"But he-" Bill tried to protest but you shook your head signaling no and that was your final answer. Nyx let out a chuckle before responding to Bill specifically "It's kind of ironic. You, one of the most powerful entities out there, is listening to a human!" Nyx laughed it off and that just angered Bill even more. "Shut up. It's none of your business." Bill wasn't having this right now, and yet he didn't want to have his day ruined as much as it is with Nyx in his sight. "Oh, but I'm right, aren't I? You've grown soft." Nyx said and let out an amused laugh. Nyx found this entertaining, Bill found this infuriating, and you found this confusing. I would find this hilarious, to be honest.
"How about we stop with all this negative talking and just- forget about it-!" You tried to save the moment here and prevent Bill doing anything stupid. Nyx took a glance at you and back to Bill. "Listen to your girl, Cipher. You don't want to upset a lady." Nyx said and you could feel him eyeing you again.
". . ." Bill only stayed quiet at his statement and he rolled his eyes soon after. "Come on, Y/n." As soon as Bill said your name, you couldn't help bit feel surprise, most of the time Bill would just call you by a nickname and not your actual name, but that was your que knowing it was serious. You looked back at Nyx who was just sitting there, looking at you. "Go on, dear. You don't want to anger that little triangle." Nyx let out a slight chuckle and which you nodded. You just ignored that he just called you a pet name, which was kind of ironic cause he was in a cat form.
You catched up to Bill and he looked not so pleased, you could say he looked angry. "Come on Bill, he wasn't so bad-!" You tried to make him feel better but he just looked at you with a serious glare. "Kid, look, I know that guy for I don't know how long. You don't know what he's capable of even though he is in a form of a fluffy animal." Bill was not joking around when saying this. He was full on serious.
You were worried by his words. You wanted to believe him and stay from Nyx, but Nyx didn't seem like a bad person whatsoever. He seemed somewhat sweet almost, but Bill's reaction to you about him proved otherwise that Bill really disliked him, like he was bad news.
"You don't understand the danger you're in if you let him in just like that." Let him in? What did he meant by that? "What do you mean-" You asked out of curiosity, but to your utter disappointment, Bill didn't say anything. He just stayed quiet and didn't answer your question. Soon, he stopped walking and looked at you. "We'll discuss this later. How about that?" Bill said and you didn't have a choice but to agree, you nodded your head as a result.
On the way back seemed pretty quiet than usual. You and Bill didn't exchange a single word at all and that made you extremely worried. You wanted to say something but then again, you don't want to make the situation worse than it already is. You took a small glance at your surroundings and spotted Nyx again in the far corner, he was already staring at the two of you so he gave you a wave, you felt weirded out that he seems to be watching you two before you even spotted him. It was like he was spying on the two of you, but you can't say for sure.
"Do not make eye contact." Bill said and you glanced back at him. Then realization hit, what if Bill wasn't upset or angry, maybe he just knew that Nyx was watching them so he stayed quiet the half way back. "You- knew..?" You floated slightly beside him to whisper the words to him. "Of course, i don't want to give that abomination of a demon get the satisfaction he wants." Bill had a tint of hatred in his eyes and it made you wonder what happened to these two that made Bill hate Nyx so much. But you were going to find out soon enough anyways.
After reaching back to the shack, Bill looked around the area before sighing. "Ok Bill, tell me everything." You said almost instantly after he had calmed down. Bill looked at you in the eyes before opening his mouth to speak. "I would, but not here." Bill said cautiously and he immediately started walking away with you following right behind him.
After reaching upstairs and also to the door leading to your shared bedroom with you siblings, with you being practically in a ghost form, you could just float through the door with Bill having to open the door. To your luck, nobody was inside. You sighed in relief and Bill closed the door slowly. "But before i tell you, i want to make a deal." Bill said sternly while he turned to look at you. "What kind of deal?" You asked in curiosity. "I will tell you what happened. The full story, no cuts, no lies, everything." He paused before speaking again. "And you promise me to keep yourself away from danger, that includes not making any suspicious dealing with Nyx or any demon you come across. Even me." His voice and facial expression told otherwise that he was really serious about his words.
"..I can't promise my safety-" You weren't finished speaking when Bill cut off on what you were about to say. "Sunflower." He called out. You were surprised to hear him call you sunflower but if you weren't mistaken, he only called you once with that nickname. "I'll do my best to protect you. This may sound cliché and you've heard it a lot in novels, but I do promise you that." You couldn't help but look him in the eyes with a surprised expression. "You-" You didn't know what to say at his words.
"So, deal?" Was the only thing he said before waiting for your answer.
What's it going to be?
-: ✧ :-゜・．.・゜-: ✧ :-
"It seems he is trying too hard." A familiar voice rang out in the entire empty scape.
"Well, too bad. It's not like he's going to keep her safe for long." They let out a laugh before speaking again to themselves. "You've always been a hothead, Cipher. Now softened by a mere mortal? How pathetic." They muttered while tapping their hand(paw) on the ground.
"I'll just have to wait how this will end up, and I'll interfere later on." They paused before thinking of an idea. "Maybe I can play the 'good guy' around her, so she'll trust me more." They thought about it for awhile before nodding at their own idea. "Sounds about right."
