Chapter XVIII - Misunderstanding

*~(M/n)'s Point of View~*

The whole day and night, Bill and (M/n) picked up from where they stopped. It was mostly practicing, learning new powers, more practicing. (M/n) almost wanted to break. But after Bill said he loved him...

Somehow, he wanted to work hard for him. He reciprocated his feelings for him, Bill just thought he was incredibly dense. That kinda insults him a bit, but he'll just swat that away.

(M/n) collapsed as he made one last boulder appear. It was gargantuan, almost as if he'd made a mountain appear. But that must've just been from perspective. He panted and closed his eyes. He felt Bill's hand rest on his head, his fingers entangling with his (H/c) locks.

"You did great today. Let's get you to your bed." Bill said with surprising gentleness. He then proceeded to haul (M/n) up and carry him in bridal-style. His (E/c) were already closed and he drifted off to sleep in Bill's arms.

Dreamscape

(M/n)'s heart beated out of his chest as he ran. Someone was chasing him, he didn't know who. He ducked behind a tree and gripped his sides. Everything hurt. His eyes began watering and he started laughing. Why was he doing this?

Voices came whispering to him in chorus. He used his other hand to clutch his head.

"You don't belong here."

"Go kill yourself."

"You're just an idiot that doesn't deserve to be here."

"Haha! You don't have actual parents!"

"We're going to get you."

"HE doesn't love you."

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! THESE ARE ALL LIES!" (M/n) wailed at the top of his lungs. Where did all of these come from? He needed to get out of here.

Tears streamed down on his face as pain shot throughout his body. Blood was seeping from his side. He wanted all of this to stop. He wanted someone to help him.

"Please stop...I'm begging you..." He pleaded. Where was Bill? Shouldn't he be wandering around here? Footsteps could be heard behind him. He tried to stand up.

Suddenly, he felt something cling itself onto his legs. He tried looking at it and saw human-looking hands grabbing his ankles. He squealed as he tried to shake the hands off.

Then everything seemed to be frozen in place. (M/n) felt his eyes widened as the hands disappeared and were replaced by an embrace, which almost gave him a heart attack.

Something-no, someone whispered against his ear.

"Hello, (M/n)." It was his own voice.

"G-Go away..." (M/n) said, his lips quivering.

"Looks like you found someone endearing now, hm? Interesting. Never thought out of all the people, YOU'D actually find someone worth your time. But have you ever thought that-"

"NO! Don't you dare say it!" (M/n) yelled in fear and anger. He was going to say that Bill didn't actually love him back. He got it. He was worried that he didn't love him back when clearly he was the one who confessed. But he just couldn't help but think that he just played him off as a toy.

His voice chuckled. "Well then, I won't. Hey, don't you ever wonder what happened to Dipper?"

Now he was confused. Why did he bring up Dipper? Cracks began forming in the sky as if someone broke it. Everything in his line of vision was breaking piece by piece.
