Misery Business

Chapter 2: Bill!?

I opened my eyes and looked at the statue. There was a man sitting on there. He had soft looking bright yellow hair. His skin had a light tan tone to it. He had a suit on the shirt was white with black sleeves. The vest was a golden yellow. He had a black top hat and a black bow tie.

"I've missed you Pinetree!" He said cheerfully.

"B-bill?!" I said nervously. He made the fire disappear and came towards me.

"You remembered me. I knew I could show this body to you and you'd know who I am." Bill said. I nodded still shaking and slightly crying. He bent down and wiped my tears.

"Don't cry Pinetree." He said with a smile. "I'll keep you safe." I don't understand why but those words made the tears stop falling. I pulled him into a hug and started to cry again. To my surprise he hugged back and pulled me onto his lap.

"Shh it's ok Pinetree I have you." He said rubbing circles on my back. I held on to him tightly as I calmed down. I went to move but he held me in place. I looked up at him and he looked at me with kind eyes but with a bit of anger.

"Pinetree?" He asked his voice dark but caring.

"Y-yes Bill?" I asked my voice full of worry and fear.

"Who gave you these marks on your body?" He asked glaring down at some visible bruises. I was shaking afraid to answer.

"I-it was m-my U-uncle F-ford." I managed to get out. His grip tighened around me. Then he pulled up my sleeves and he looked mortified at the site before him.

"Pi-pinetree? Yo-you ha-haven't be-been..." He couldn't finish the sentence but I knew what he was going to ask.

"I know I shouldn't have done it but I was tired of being their punching bag." I cried after those words. He hugged me tight and close to his chest.

"Shh it's ok. I'm here now and no one will hurt you again." He said almost threatening like. I nodded and held my face into his chest. I was getting tired and I didn't want to go back there.

"Bill?" I asked with a yawn.

"Yes Pinetree?" He asked.

"Can I make a deal with you?" I asked. That must have shocked him seeing as he loosened his hold on me.

"What would this deal be about?" He asked seeming interested in the idea.

"I stop hurting myself or trying to kill myself. And I go back to the Fearamid with you. Plus my friends and family get a litte more protection." I said with a yawn. He set me in front of him. I whined at the loss of warmth.

"And what happens when you come back with me I must get something from this exchange." He said. I thought for a moment then smiled.

"You can do whatever youd like with me." I said like I just went all in on a poker game.

"Then we have a deal Pinetree." He said. We spoke hands his fire engulfed our hands. I crawled back into his lap and leaned in his chest.

"Tired Pinetree?" He asked. I could only nod and yawn in response. He chuckled. It was low but comforting. I fell asleep in his arms.

♥︎Bill's pov♥︎
My precious Pinetree fell asleep in my arms. The only way this day could get better is if I could hurt the people that hurt him. He did say they got a little bit more protection from the weirdness. I'll have to ask him when he wakes up.

"OK, Pinetree let's get you home," I said to the sleeping boy.  I walked to the middle of the open area and teleported to the Fearamid. Once we got there all the henchdemons came running up to me. I tried to get past to go to where Pinetree would be staying. I kept getting stopped by them.

"LEAVE US ALONE!" I yelled quietly to not wake Pinetree my eyes glow red. They backed away and let me pass. I walked to the room and shut the door locking it behind us.

"They shouldn't bother us after today my prince." I said as I lay him on the bed and lay next to him.

♡Dipper's pov♡
I remember making the deal with Bill and falling asleep on him in the woods. But I don't know when we got here. I feel something laying next to me so I turn to look. Oh it's Bill. Wait Bill!?

"Bill?!" I yelled. I nearly fell off the bed when a hand reached out and grabbed me pulling me close.

"You need to be more careful Pinetree." He said wrapping around me protectively.

"You know you really need to stop freaking out when you see me." He added on after a few seconds of silence.

"Sorry Bill this is still new." I  said with a smile. He smiles back at me and held me closer to himself. I relaxed into his arms. We stayed like this for what could have been hours but it was only a few minutes. Then there was a loud bang that came from the walls of the Fearamid.

"Now who in their right mind would come making such a racket in my palace?!" Bill hissed as we got up to go see what was going on. Bill snapped his fingers and I was in a light red dress shirt. With a dark blue vest, a teal tie with white pinetrees on it, and dark gray dress pants. My shoes were also fancy like they were black leather dress shoes with gold lining the sides and little teal pinetrees pressed along the quarter.

Before I could question Bill about the sudden outfit change we were in the throne room. I stayed near Bill while he glared down to the intruders. I was in shock the people I thought hated me the most were here and they looked absolutely pissed off.
