Devil's Advocate (Bill Cipher x Reader)

Six - Conversation

   You sat at the kitchen table, spinning your spoon around in your bowl of cereal as you rested your head on your hand. The sun rising outside the window as the clouds broke for the first time since yesterday. You sighed and dropped the spoon into the bowl, rubbing a hand through your hair. You had slept soundly, so why were you so damn exhausted? You couldn't help but wonder if Bill invading your dream had anything to do with it. You got up from the table and glanced at the clock, seeing that it was nine in the morning. Stan walked into the kitchen as you looked at him and smiled.
"Good morning Stan."
"Morning (Y/n), how'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good," you lied slightly. You didn't want to alarm anyone at the presence of Bill. No one needed to know that you accidentally let the dream demon loose again.
"Glad to hear it, have you figured out wether we can swing by and get your stuff today?" He said, brewing a cup of coffee.
"My Uncle will be at work until five today, his shift just started," you said with a clever smirk. Stan chuckled and nodded.
"We'll leave as soon as I finished my coffee then."
Twenty minutes later, Stan, you, Dipper and Mabel (who insisted on helping you when they woke up and heard of the plan), gathered into Stan's car and drove off through the forest. Dipper and Mabel had no clue as to why you were moving in with them for the summer, they just knew you were. Neither of them bothering to ask, assuming it was best to leave well enough alone, which relieved you. Regardless of the reason, they were ecstatic to hear the news of your stay with the Pines.
The car ride would take at least an hour and a half, so you opted to try and get some much needed sleep to get rid of the terribly tried feeling you had. You closed your eyes, sitting in the passenger seat as you rested your head on the window. Your breathing steadied as you slowly slipped into unconsciousness.

You looked around, seeing you were in the forest again. You turned around and gasped slightly before glaring and crossing your arms at the sight before you.
"Hello there (Y/n), nice to see you again so soon~!" Bill grinned as he sat there, perched on top of his statue that once resided in the forest. He leaned forward, elbow resting on his knee as his head rested in his hand.
"God dammit Cipher! Why do you persistently wish to annoy the living hell out of me?"
"Cause it's fun," he smirked.
"How so?" You rolled your eyes as you huffed.
"Simple, because I get to you," he said as he levitated off the statue and to the ground where he landed on his feet.
"Get to me? What do you mean?" You said, unmoving but still confused.
"I affect you, yet at the same time you don't let me. You are quite an interesting girl, (Y/n). There's something different about you that I just can't pinpoint," He said, his tone sounded... actually genuine. You looked at him oddly as you shook your head and scoffed.
"Yeah right. Like I'd believe anything out of your mouth. You can pull this 'genuine' act all you want but I know it's all a ploy. Once you get what you want out of me you'll just go do the same thing to another person and on and on in an endless cycle of debauchery. Using humans as nothing but puppets on your string of torment and self entertainment." You said with a glare as he stood there, blinking at you in shock. You could see that you had surprised him, that was the last thing he expected you to say. The shock on his face faded quickly as he gathered himself and chuckled with a smirk.
   "Well... aren't you the aggressive one? Though I must say that was quite the little speech, can't deny any of it, but I'm not saying it's true either," he said as he looked to the ground, tapping his foot on the grass, avoiding your gaze. His mood had shifted from his usual cocky and arrogant tone to one of uncertainty.
"What's the matter Cipher? Don't like the feeling of being knocked off your fake ass pedestal? Well sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not going to quiver under you just because you're some 'all powerful' dream demon."
   "I didn't ask you to-"
   "No, but you expected me to, there's a difference Bill." You cut home off, he opened his mouth to say something and then closed it. He turned away from you for the first time and he let his head fall, looking at the ground. He snapped his fingers and rain started to fall softly around you both. "What the hell-"
   "You like the rain. It's your favorite kind of weather, is it not?" He said without turning around as his head rose up again.
   "Well yes but-"
   "I know that because I saw it in your mind."
   "Wonderful, you're being intrusive again, I'm thrilled, now why do you care that rain-"
   "Do you think everything I do is leading to some malicious outcome, don't you?" He asked as he turned back towards you, his expression unreadable.
   "Why don't you just read my mind and-"
   "No, no, I want to hear it."
   "Then yes, I do think that."
   "I think it's time you woke up," he said softly as he looked up at you, a small smirk on his lips that seemed almost sad as he snapped his fingers one last time.

   You shot up in your seat as you gasped softly, looking around to see you were driving through the town of Gravity Falls. You rubbed your eyes and shifted in your seat as you looked out the window at the sunny day.
   "Oh, you're awake (Y/n)! I need you to direct me to your house, I completely forgot to ask earlier," Stan said as he drove. You nodded and looked around, directing him through the town to your neighborhood and to your uncles house. Low and behold, your Uncle wasn't home, making the operation easy and not stressful. You, Dipper and Mabel managed to gather all your stuff and be back in the car within thirty minutes. You all started your drive back to the Mystery Shack, thinking your Uncle probably wouldn't even notice your absence or the disappearance of your belongings. You sat back in your seat as you felt a sense of tiredness overwhelming you suddenly. You tried to fight it, but it was like your body was shutting down on you while your mind fought to stay awake. Despite your efforts, your eyes closed and you drifted back to sleep.

   You opened your eyes, rubbing them as you looked around. You were sitting on the floor of a cozy little cottage that was decorated... exactly like you would decorate a cottage if you had one. You smiled slightly as your gaze wanders, walking around and into what seemed to be the living room. You stopped dead in your tracks as your eyes spotted the yellow-clad being on the couch. Your smiled faded and your expression turned visceral as your eyes met his.
   "You put me to sleep then brought me here. Why?" You snapped at him. All he did in response was pat the seat on the couch beside him. You scoffed and rolled your eyes, "You're really a funny guy, your know that? I'm not getting any closer to you than-" all you heard was a snap before you felt your body become practically nonexistent before you felt yourself plop down on the couch, your feeling returning as you gasped and looked down at yourself. "What the hell just happened!?"
   "Teleportation is the easiest word to use." He said with a slight smirk as he looked down at you. You blushed as you realized how close you were to him. You scooted away just slightly as you nodded slightly.
   "O-Okay well it felt really weird."
   "Typically does the first time," he said with a shrug as he out stretched his hand in front of himself. He opened his palm as a blue flame engulfed his gloved hand. You gasped as he grinned at your reaction, he snapped in the direction of the fireplace before you both, the flame traveling to the wood and igniting it in blue fire. He closed his hand as he looked at you, his eye, that had turned blue like the flames, faded back to white as he gave you a small, almost genuine smile.
   "What are you playing at Cipher?" You said as you glared softly at him.
   "Let's have a little chat, shall we (Y/n)?"
