„a Sixer, please."

locked up muse

POV Ford

The kids agreed to join the adventure
I'm glad that they still have a flame for mysteries in their hearts and that it didn't diedown during the 3 years they spent in their lame home city.

„Kids, after lunch we will met up in my lab to discuss the plan for today.", I told them with a smile as I saw their excitement written all over their face.

The kids run off to do their own stuff, and I tried to find Stan to let him know that the kids and I will be out for the day.

I searched the whole shack for him. I honestly thought I would find him in front of the tv, but I actually found him in the shop, ...with Bill.
I held the bridge of my nose in annoyance.

Sometimes I asked myself why I held this ex demon under my roof. But that way I can make sure that he can't regain his powers ever again.
I watch and hold him like a dog on a short leash.

He had to stay the first few months locked up in my lab locked up till I found a way to bound him to the shack, making sure he can't run away. Ever again.

Somehow Stan kind of befriended Bill. I guess because they both have a weird type of humour.
It even got to a point that Stanley trusted Bill with his shop.

Soos and Wendy also befriended "William", the Fake Name we gave the demon for this summer in hopes that the twins don't figure out that he is Bill.

Overall, Bill doesn't seem at all like the dangerous demon who tried to wipe out all of humanity for fun. But I know who and how he is. And i am not going to easily forgive him like Stan does.

I am honestly impressed how he can Play such a fake act so perfectly. Not even the customers notice that something seems off.
Bill may look like a human now but if you would take a closer look you would notice that his ears are more pointy, that his teeth are too spiky for a human or that his pupil is more like a slit.
I think that all is over looked by his charm.
Some customers even come just to see him.

Why am I even impressed that he can twirl anyone and everything around his fingers, I fell for his manipulation too once...but never again.

I shook my head, leaving my thoughts behind and went up to the two chatting.
„Stanley.", I said completely ignoring Bills presence. I did notice from my side eye that the blond boy looked at me, as if he was hoping to be noticed.
„I will go out after lunch with the kids, doing a little adventure"
„Oh, you can take Bill with you. I just gave him an afternoon off and he could bound with the kids on your little trip", Stan answered with a chuckle.

Bill? On a trip? With us?
No! Nononono! I'm happy when I have this human looking creature away from me for a bit.
And the chances that the twins figure out that William is actually Bill will just grow higher when they spend more time together.
I already have the bad feeling that the kids have a weird feeling about "William".

„No, it's to dangerous that the kids find out what is going on here and also that spell to keep Bill in the shack was way to hard to do to just undo it for this trip!", I said sternly.
„Oh, Sixer calm down. You know how good I can manipulate, the kids will never know who I am", Bill slit between me and Stanley and looked at me with a chilled smirk.
I just know he would give me a wink if his other eye wouldn't be permanently closed by his scar.

„I'm not going to take this risk and especially I don't want you!", I pointed at the blonde. „Anywhere near me or the kids!".

Bill just looked at my finger and giggled.
„Oh? Now you don't want me to be near you, but when I got here you looked me in your lab to examine my body?", he asked in an fake innocent tone.

„It was for science! It doesn't happen every day that I get the chance to see a demon being reincarnated as a human. But that's not the point! I'm going on a trip with the kids and you stay here.", I said and went out of the shop again.

„But it for sure didn't felt like it was just for science, Sixer~", I heard Bill say as I went. I could hear his smirk.

I went to my lab and just waited till it was lunch time.

POV Bill
„But it for sure didn't felt like it was just for science, Sixer~", I said after him with a grin knowing he would hear it.
I know that it was never for science. The lust in his eyes was to obviously.
It was the same lust like 40 years ago when we made our deal.
Back then when I was his muse.

I honestly thought he locked me up in his lab to kill me since I'm a semi normal mortal now. But he didn't.
Or more like he couldn't.

I saw the hatred in his eyes he felt towards me but something was holding him back to end me.
And I knew what held him back but this wannabe smarty doesn't want to admit that he does indeed still like me.

He just rather ignores my existence or insults me since I'm not above him anymore.

I looked up to Stanley and he looked confused to me and the door, Sixer just went out of.
I just shrugged my shoulders and went behind the counter knowing that the first customers will come soon.

„You know Bill", Stanly started. „I really want to know what happened between and my brother before all that amagedon stuff".
„That's a conversation that would take way too much time Fez, maybe next time.", I said as the first costumers started to come in.
