My Demon And Me

10- A New Demon in Town

Dipper's POV

Months went by and I remained in the Fear-a-mid with Bill. We explained everything to my parents (minus the fact that Bill is a demon) and they were fully supportive. I fully moved out of their house that day. 

I kept in touch with Wendy after she apologized to me. She explained that Mable extended her summer stay in Gravity Falls and that she was still a mess. Things still weren't good around the shack, but that really wasn't my problem anymore.

I spent a lot of my time thinking about what Bill said about turning me into a demon. It was gonna be a big change, but the thought was definitely appealing. I would get to stay with Bill forever, and I would get cool supernatural powers! Eventually, I said yes to the procedure and Bill and I set up a day to do it. He made sure to clear his schedule for the next few days since the procedure was going to be pretty taxing on both of us, as well as giving him time to help me get some basics down so I didn't accidentally hurt myself or someone else.

I didn't tell Wendy about it, just that I was going to be busy and wouldn't be able to text or call for a few days. I needed to make sure she didn't freak out and think that Bill killed me or something. 

I was prepared for the pain that Bill said I would endure for the entirety of the ritual and reminded Bill that I would be okay as he chained me down to the floor in the center of the circle. 

"Ready, Pinetree? Because there is no going back after this," he asked, making sure everything was perfect.

"I'm ready. Let's do this."

I cracked my eyes open and groaned. My entire body was sore, and my throat felt scratchy. I felt the silken sheets of mine and Bill's bed and smiled when I felt a kiss on my forehead.

"Good morning, darling. How are you feeling?" Bill asked, sitting down next to me.

"Good," I say, my voice very hoarse. "Sorry, I sound like shit."

He chuckled, "it's to be expected. You did scream a lot. I told you the procedure was going to hurt." I nodded and took the glass of water he handed me. "Anyway, I brought you some food if you're hungry and some pain killers. Are you feeling any different?"

"Sore, mostly, but my head does feel a little fuzzy."

"A typical side effect. You honestly shouldn't feel much different. The only thing is that your powers should start appearing in the next couple days. For now, do you need anything?"

I reached my arms out, making grabby hands in his direction. "Cuddle me."

He smiled, crawling into bed with me and spooning me. "Let me know if this hurts you." I nodded and sighed with contentment, closing my eyes once more. I felt him kiss my head, "get some rest, Pinetree. I... I love you."

I blushed madly and smiled to myself, "I love you too, Bill."
