Operation: Matchmaking Bill Cipher [MaBill]

→ four

Mabel tried to lighten herself up.

This won't go bad, will it? Bill made her life miserable. She didn't want more of it, but... She can't just turn down a guy (or a demon), trying to find love in this cruel, horrible world. It wouldn't be bad if she gave him a shot, right?

"So, what first, Shooting Star?" Bill asked, casually laying his arms behind his 'back'. Mabel tried to think while walking, multitasking is hard.

Matchmaking is usually okay for her, but the fact that this is Bill she's helping? No, not a single bit would this be easy for her. Why? Well, first, he's a demon. Only one crazy person would fall for a mindscape demon like Bill. Second, Bill wouldn't be your typical omg-he's-so-af kind of guy. And third, he's at least a thousand years old.

"Cut off your thoughts," Bill chided, groaning a bit. "They're too loud, I can hear them clearly."

Mabel shot him a glare. "So you heard it, huh?"

The demon rolled his... Eye. "Just said that, duh."

"Don't you dare "duh" me! I'm tryna help you."

"Well you're messed up." He raised his hands in surrender. "Let's just get to the point. You matchmake me to somebody, I will become po"-he cleared his throat before continuing- "I'd be really happy and then your family safety is still approved."

Mabel raised an eyebrow. She knows what's going to happen, but what he said wasn't right. He lacked two or three words, a very important thing to say when you're being rude. She shot a look at Bill, trying to make him realize what he should have done.

But swear to everything impossible, if Bill had a mouth, he would've been grinning right about now. She knows that he knows what he has to do, but since he's a demon, he couldn't say it properly.

"Well?" She prompted.

"Let's continue the deal," Bill said, ignoring her word. He floated around, looking over the town below them. The mall was near, only a few floats would do, plus extra speed with his kind of power, he could reach it in less than a minute. Mabel scoffed at that thought, because it was unfair.

Why did this meanie have the chance to have powers? Why didn't she, the mega ultra nice one, remained really simple, with only the powers to walk, eat, run and sleep?

Just before it could sink in to her, she saw a sight of Bill floating away, not even bothering to apologize. Mabel grunted as she ran to follow him, panting as she already did. Once again, she gave him a really scary glare.

That only made Bill laugh. "You're really thinking I'm going to do that? Nah really, Princess."

"I'm not a princess, I'm a woman," Mabel said, almost as fast as a rapper could normally do, "and we had a deal. This is for your own good, because I'm helping you. See, when your girl gets mad, then you have no choice but to make it up to her."

"Hmm... By giving her deer teeth?"

"No!"

"Ooh, maybe a floating head would do!" He even snapped his fingers with excitement.

"No, you idiotic demon." She crossed her arms and huffed. Didn't demons fell in love with their own kind, or did they just feel this musty, disgusting attraction and when it's all over, they fix the sheets of the bed and moved on. "You say I'm sorry."

She could've sworn that Bill was "smirking" right about now. Made her wonder, What would it look like when he's in his physical form?

"I would look handsome," he said, answering her thoughts. Oh crap, he read her mind again. "And why would I say sorry?"

"You were being rude to me."

"No, I wasn't."

She gave him a glare.

Bill raised both of his hands up. "Okay, I did, but that's what I normally do. I'm a demon, and you're this girl, trying to help me get another girl."

Mabel resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This, was getting tiring. "You want to get a girl and you can't even say sorry?! What is wrong with you? I'm trying to be nice here! I was trying to fricking help you but you wouldn't listen." Calm down, Mabel. "Agh, no! I won't calm down!"

Bill stopped floating. They were already in front of the mall, where fashion styles die and romance comes to life. "Whoa there, Shooting Star. Stop thinking about it already. We're already here, let's just find our first target."

"No, you're going to apologize," she said through gritted teeth.

"Let's just go inside," he said calmly.

That's when she gave up. She threw her hands with exasperation and screamed, "You badly want to go in there? THEN YEAH, go on ahead!" She turned around with a hair flip and stomped her feet. "I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU!"

"SHOOTING STAR!" He called, drawing more attention to the two of them. Mabel just wanted to be anywhere but near him. His attitude was tiring, she even remembered that she hasn't smiled this day. Not even a single bit.

Stupid demon. Stupid deal. Stupid you, Mabel said in her thoughts.

She continued thinking about the deal. It was okay, at first, because she thought that she could handle it. Matchmaking was her specialty, even; things would be easier. But no. Matchmaking a demon was a lot harder than matchmaking a guy like Soos.

You could say that again, someone said in her mind.

She stopped on her tracks and looked around. Many people in sight, but she couldn't see an isosceles demon with a bow tie and a top hat. She shook her head to recover and continued walking, but stopped immediately when it spoke again.

Come on, Shooting Star, come back here.

"Get out of my mind!" She yelled, and all eyes were on her. Her cheeks flushed as she bowed slightly as an apology. There. A simple apology; reminded her of Bill, and how he needed help, but then was being stupid.

Well, yeah? You're dumb.

"Just go," she whispered.

Shooting Star.

"Bill."

I'm sorry.

She snorted. Yeah, he was sorry- wait, what?

Again, she stopped walking and looked around. Was she imagining? Did she just hear an apology from Bill Cipher? Not directly, like, not face to face. But still, it was an improvement. Like the gods were up there, giving her the last drop of hope.

She grinned.

Time to really get this matchmaking thing started.
