Chapter XXII - It's a Deal

//Why is it that this story's gonna end but now I have this stupid writer's block to fight with.//

*~Bill's Point of View~*

Bill groaned as he tried to stand up. He felt different. He looked at his right hand, realizing that it only looked like a black noodle with five seperate slices. Great, he went back to his original triangular form. Just when he was starting to get used to his human form.

He kicked off from his feet and realized he can still float. Apparently, his powers stayed with him. He looked up at the gates in front of him. Old Death Breath still sucked at impressing his neighbors with the look of his home.

Bill began knocking with the skull designed handle. "Hello? Hades?" He asked, his voice echoing throughout the emvironment. The gate opened, its hinges creaking creepily. The demon made his way to the throne room, where the God of Death laid dormant.

"What are you here for, Cipher?" He asked, his voice deep and gruff. His robes were torn and decorated with skulls. The shadow of his hood covered most of his face except his mouth. His skin was deadly pale.

Bill floated a good meter away from Hades and placed his hands on his nonexistent hips. "Hey, Hades. It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, the thing is...I'm here for-"

"A human soul, perhaps?" Hades said, his grin widening so little that it was almost impossible to see. "Or any kind of soul in that matter. Why do you seek such as that?"

Bill felt the words stuck in his throat. He had to do this. He clenched his fists and looked at Hades dead in the eye.

"That human...he's special. But he was taken too soon to your realm. He was a mortal that was brave enough to help a demon. No other mortal would've done that except think it was only but a joke. For that, I must return the favor. He deserves to live a longer and a more happier life. Although, some moments may not be avoided such as breakdowns or fights. So I plead to you, God of Death. What should I do to return my gratitude to this human that has made my life completely different than it was before?"

Hades looked surprised. The way his mouth was agape was all it took to realize that. His fingers interlocked with each other. He was intrigued by this sudden turn of events.

"I see your point. But if that human means a lot to you, then you must exchange something valuable for this deal to be engaged. If it exceeds my expectations, that human's soul is your's." The God of Death said, his excitement not visible but it was there.

Bill floated there, contemplating on what to exchange for (M/n)'s soul. There were many valuable things he could've gave to Hades, but he doubted that it could meet his expectations. This old crone wanted something that was important to Bill's life. After more minutes of thinking, the demon made his answer.

"I'll give you my powers in exchange for (M/n)'s soul."

Oh how shocked Hades was. Bill could imagine his old dead eyes widening in surprise from what he said. The God of Death stood up. "Are you sure, Cipher? Exchanging your powers will mean your form will fade away into nothingness. You will not be immortal anymore. Is that what you want?" He asked.

Bill immediately answered. "Yes. He helped me get these powers back, so I'm going to bring him back by using my powers. His sacrifice for me will not be in vain." He could just imagine (M/n) just complaining with what he just said.

"We worked hard on getting those powers! I can't believe you're gonna waste all my hard work! Hmph." He would say. Although that was a bit exaggerated, he would still say it.

Hades sat back down, his fingers once again intertwined with each other. He sighed. "I see your point. This human must be very valuable. Very well, I must say it's a deal." He said.

Bill was about to thank Old Death Breath but he spoke again. "But, I cannot guarantee this will prove your death or not. It will be either you will cease to exist or you will lose your immortality. I do hope it will be the latter." He added.

The demon hoped it too. He moved forward, face to face with the god. He looked back to all those new memories that he'd made with (M/n). That time when they first met and he was being such a sassy mortal. That time when they comforted each other. That time when they slept on the same bed. That time they went on their first date and they danced under the moonlight. That time they first kissed...That time when they found out their love was mutual. Were all of these memories going to be gone when he and Hades shake hands? Well, it was time to find out.

Hades offered his hand to shake. Bill was hesitant, but he took a deep breath. "Is it a deal, Bill Cipher?" Hades asked. Bill took his hand and shook, their hands erupted into white and blue flames.

"It's a deal."

Then everything went black.
