Dipper hesitantly stepped into the white bedroom. Will walked in behind him. "Do you like it? I cleaned it up a bit before you came in." Dipper looked a bit shocked to be spoken to without it being an insult or command. "U-U-Um, oh, yeah. It's certainly l-lighter than in Master's room." Will smiled. "Isn't it the time of day when humans prefer to rest their physical bodies?" Dipper hesitated before saying, "U-Um... Yes, Mr. Cipher." Will's smile faded. "Call me Will." Dipper flinched, thinking that he did something wrong. "S-Sorry, Will!" Will smiled. "Don't worry about it, Pine Tree." Dipper looked to the side with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Will looked down at him after stopping right next to him. "What's wrong?," the demon asked. Dipper mumbled something under his breath before saying, "I... I don't really like that nickname..." Will smiled kindly at him. "Okay, then. I'll just call you by your preferred nickname. Dipper, right?" Dipper nodded. Will walked over to the bed and laid down, leaving half of the bed empty.
Dipper stood in the corner of the room, awkwardly rubbing his arm. Will sat up and looked over at him. "What are you doing over there? C'mon. You can sleep on the half of the bed that I'm not using." Dipper slowly made his way over to the bed and stared at it. Will rolled his eyes slightly and pulled Dipper down onto the bed. The teen tried to scramble away in panic, but Will held him back. "Just go to sleep, Dipper. It's not that hard." Dipper slowly calmed down, and when he finally did, he felt Will's grip losen. He jumped when he felt something messing with his collar. "Relax, I'm just removing this ridiculous thing. Bill shouldn't have made you wear it in the first place." Dipper let him remove the collar and watch it get placed on the nightstand next to the bed. He rolled over and hugged Will. "Thank you. I don't remember the last time I've been without that thing on," he whispered. Will chuckled softly. "Don't thank me for it. I just thought that you didn't deserve to wear that thing while you sleep." For the first time in a long time, Dipper offered a small smile. It didn't last long though, and he quickly looked to the side. "Umm... Will?" "Yes?" "... I have sleeping problems..." Will stared at Dipper for a moment. "Do you want help?" Dipper looked to the side before looking back at Will and nodded. Will brought his hand up to Dipper's forehead and swept it across his birthmark, making it glow slightly then fade back to normal. Dipper's eyes closed and he immediately fell asleep.
