Fall Into Place

Chapter 5: Beginning To Know

BILL'S POV

Shock, I was. I slide out of bed, trying my best not to wake Pinetree up and head to the bathroom to cool myself down.

As the coldness of the liquid came in contact, my contracted muscles slowly loosen up and relax under the cold shower.

What's going on? Whose voice is that? Why did my eyes glow into an unusual colour?

All these questions made my head spin like crazy. Thankfully, Pinetree suggested to go to the Shack to get it checked or else I think I might be going insane.

Wait, are these side effects from being reincarnated into a human body? If that's the case, what if I'm going to revert back to my cruel old self? Pinetree won't abandon me right? But Pinetree isn't fond of the old me. I can't live on properly if Pinetree hates me. He's the reason I'm alive and feel alive again. I cannot imagine my life with him hating me...

As these realizations kept forming in my head, my vision started to fade. The last I heard was the impact of my fall onto the wet slippery floor.

DIPPER/MASON'S POV

The lack of warmth slowly woke me up. My eyes were still sewn shut. My hands roam against the mattress I was on before my vision came back. Wait, isn't this where Bill is sleeping. My eyes quickly widened to check if the blond was next to me. Thankfully, not or it will be embarrassing waking up to see his face up close.

As I got up, the sound of running water finally became a vivid sound to indicate his location.

Dipper: "Bill? How long do you need? I need to change."

Silence.

Dipper: "Bill?"

Usually, he would answer me back.

Dipper: "Bill?!"

The eerie silence aroused my suspicions and I barged in without much consideration.

Dipper: "No...Bill!"

I grabbed the towel lying on the sink and turned the faucet connected to the shower head off. I lift his head up to check if he was breathing once he was wrapped in the towel. I carried him to my bed. Luckily, he just fainted.

Is it because his powers were forcefully awakened which caused his metabolism to be affected. But right now, I'm glad he's okay.

For now...

BILL'S POV

I woke up to the same unfamiliar.
