A/N
I'm STILL quaking.- Author-Chan 2017

Bill's P.O.V.
When I woke up all I saw was Pinetree pacing the room. The projector was smashed on the ground and he had dried tears on his cheeks. The sheets that was originally pinned to the ceiling were instead wrapped around me and the christmas lights were unplugged. He seemed to have cleaned all the snacks and wrappers up.
I sit up and worriedly walk over to him. He glances up and stops pacing, but wipes his cheeks as if he wasn't crying. I walk over and hug him; saying nothing. He'll talk about it if he wants to. I only notice he's crying again when I see his shoulders shaking slightly and I feel the wetness on my shirt. I frown and stroke his hair. When I notice him shifting on his feet I teleport us on the bed so we were laying down; his head laying perfectly under my neck as if it was made to fit there.
After a couple minutes he stops crying and snuggles closer to me. I play with his hair for a little bit until he falls back asleep. Now I can hopefully enter his mindscape and see what was bothering him. I put my fingers on his temples and reality and the dreamworld both collided. I was home. Back in the Mindscape.
I looked around to see a dark room, and Dipper sitting in the middle of it. Rocking back and forth with his head in between his knees. As soon as I go to open my mouth to say something to him the room lights up. The walls now have a galaxy projected all around us. Exactly like last night, but now he's full out sobbing and has his hands over his ears with his eyes shut tight. What is hearing that I can't? As if answering my question he starts mumbling things such as "Stop" and repeating "No" over and over.
I've had enough. I walk over to him and hug him whispering calming things into his ear. Trying to get him to stop sobbing. It's as if he's in physical pain. Just sobbing and mumbling and rocking. He looks up and sniffles after calming down slightly, and grips my shirt as if his life depended on it. I look down and use my thumb to wipe a tear that rolls down his cheek which causes him to sniffle and wipe his eyes.

¨What are you doing here?¨ He asks; obviously trying to act calm as if that never happened. I might have believed him, but his breathing was still uneven and he was trembling slightly.

¨What kind of nightmare was that!?¨ I may as well cut straight to the point.

He looks down and shrugs, but I know he isn't telling me something. I hate to do this but something is seriously wrong with my Pinetree. Sighing I rest my head on his and close my eyes, I'm instantly hit with a wave of nostalgia and familiarity. I've done this a thousand and one times.

Can't tell him. Too dangerous. Why me? Why me?Why me?Why me?Why me?Why me?

I open my eyes to see Pinetree's squeezed shut. He's sniffling and shaking again so I do something that I hope will calm him down again. I close my eyes again and speak in his mind.

I love you.

His eyes snap open and look at me. He gasps and tears up again, I almost think I caused him to cry again, but he's grinning and hugging me even tighter. I'm smiling too, but then I realize something. NO human should be able to be that strong, I'm in pain and he is only 18 or 19 years old. I've been gripped by the world's strongest person in a bear hug contest (don't ask) and it didn't hurt. But here's my little Pinetree doing what he couldn't. My eyes widen and I look down to see Pinetree watching me curiously.
I slowly unravel his arms and instead hold his hands out in front of me. After I play with his fingers for a bit he sighs. I look up at him and he bites his lip and looks as if he's at war with himself. I raise an eyebrow and he's sighs again, but this time it sounds more like one in defeat. I pull him into his lap, seeing as we're still on the ground, and he rests his head on my chest.

"Who's Alcor?" He blurts out after a while. The question makes me choke on air for a bit, so he pats me on the back as I try to, ya know, not die.

After I get my lungs to work properly I respond, "and old friend." I chose to be vague on purpose. Secretly hoping he would drop the subject.
He doesn't.

"He was talking to me." He says, and I snap my head to him.

"He was?" I ask cautiously.

"Yeah. He kept calling me 'son'..." (DON'T CALL ME SON. lol sorry carry on with the story )

"Dipper is Mabel your real twin?" I ask. I need to make sure.

"Erm as far as I know. Why?" He asks. He's looking at me crazy, but I might be on to something.

I pull Dipper off my lap and exit the Mindscape without saying anything. When I get back to reality I shake Dipper awake. And he yawns and stretches, but I'm already giving him some clothes. He furrows his eyebrows, but changes nevertheless. I turn around while he changes because humans apparently like 'privacy'. I've tried to tell Pinetree that I don't care what he looks like, and that he's beautiful, but he's determined to hide himself from me.
When he's done getting dressed I kiss him on his forehead and hug him. He hugs back, but it's kind of hesistant. He's probably so confused right now, but I need to go tell the council about Alcor. If he's back then it could mean trouble for a lot of people. Including my cute little Sapling. I turn slightly red at the thought of Alcor hurting Dipper, but quickly conceal it and pull away from Pinetree.

"I'll be back this afternoon. I have some business to take care of. I love you." He blushes slightly at the end, and I have to keep myself from fangirling at how cute he is.

With a snap of my fingers I teleport away and leave a frazzled, skeptic, and embarrassed Pinetree to fend for himself 'till I get back home.
Home... that's something I can get used to.

A/N
Welp. That's another chapter done. Also, NO Dipper is not Alcor's son for those of you wondering. It's just something people used to say to a close companion/friend back in the old days. Oh! And I'm uploading this extra long chapter and the prologue of my new BNHA chapter as a (late) thanksgiving treat. Enjoy!
