The brunette's face instantly flustered with an internal panic, glaring though it nonetheless.

"I know I'll have to come back in through the front door," Bill grinned. "But I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to see how adorably pitifu- tch-!"

Dipper bit down as hard as he could.

His words were cut short into a slight seething as he held his now bitten thumb. "Dammit, kid!" he growled through gritted teeth, anger not hesitating to bubble to the surface while the bite throbbed. Bill's hand instinctively raised to strike the other, but he stopped himself mid air. He closed his eyes with a scarily 'calm' smile, slowly closing his fist with a frustrated-looking squeeze and lowering it. "You're lucky I have more self-control than I did when I was younger.."

Feeling like he just dodged a bullet, the human swallowed and frowned. "It's your own fault and you know it," he said like he was quite sure, standing up to look at the other on a more equal level. "Not to mention my dream last night!"

Bill's grin returned and he couldn't help but snicker. "Oh that? Did you like it?~ Careful how you answer~ I can hear your thoughts~~"

"Of course not, creep!" Yes.. No! I..still don't know how to feel about it at all.. His red face said it all just as well. "And don't read my thoughts!" Stay out of my head!

"So indecisive~ Might I ask why this pretty little mind of yours is never made up?~" As he asked this, the blonde caressed the human's face sweetly and looked at him with an interested and alluring gaze.

It was difficult to be looked at that way and remain sane. Dipper was doing his best as he bit the inside of his lip and swallowed hard. "Stop trying to distract me!" he insisted. "Explain yourself and that dream!"

The demon looked amused and tilted his head at him. "Explain..? I already told you it's purpose, Pinetree," he shrugged, trailing his fingers down the other's jaw. "Payback~" he chirped.

"All that just cuz I hit you??" he scoffed in disbelief which was evident on his face.

Bill smiled lightly and and shut the brunette's open mouth. "All that. Just cause you hit me," he confirmed simply, seeming decently proud of himself. "So you may want to refrain from biting me..unless that's an invitation~"

Dipper frowned and glared through the blush that was resurfacing. "It is not! And we're moving on now!" he insisted and quickly swatted the tan hand away from his face. "I didn't call you here so that you could flirt!"

"You called because your sister wanted to meet me again, right? Sounds like flirting is exactly what I'm here for," the blonde snickered. "You know, I could pretend to be your boyfriend to get her to stop pestering you~ I guess I wouldn't mind too much~" He reached for the human's waist to pull him in.

Eyes wide and face red, he quickly put his hands up to make sure distance stayed between them as he was pulled forward. Distractingly...unfortunately, that meant his hands had to stay on the demon's far-too-defined chest. "First of all! That would only make her pester me more. And second! Stop touching me! It's not part of our deal!" He squirmed in an attempt to escape his very firm grasp.

"You're right. It's not~ You should really think of it like a generous perk from me~" He chirped and brought his face closer teasingly. "You strike me as extremely touch starved~"

A glare formed through his flustered expression and he stomped on the snickering 'teen's foot, knowing he'd probably regret it.

Again, the blonde seethed into a scoff and let him go. Well, he actually pushed Dipper away, but the guest's bed was there to catch him. "You're really gettin' on my fuckin' nerves, Pinetree!" He looked livid, eyes literally blazing.
