Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 24: A Talk

Bill opened his eyes with a groan, his vision swimming in and out of focus as his soul got used to his new form.

It felt strange, weird, wrong and very heavy on him.

Ford was sitting at the desk in the bedroom, doing some work as he waited for Bill to wake up. Upon hearing the groan he looked up from his paperwork with wide eyes. "Bill? Oh good, you're awake"

Bill lifted his hands up and patted his face, feeling the skin, the nose and the two eyes. Immediately he let out a frustrated yell of annoyance "FUCK YOU AXL! I SAID I WANTED MY OLD FORM BACK YOU BASTARD!" he yelled, struggling to untangle himself from the blankets he was wrapped in.

Damn fabric prison!

Ford stood up and came over to him, putting out his hands to restrain him and untangle him from the blankets "Calm down!"

Bill did calm down but not because Ford wanted him too.

He glared up at him, still seething with anger.

"Would you stop it! Relax! Stay here, I'm going to get your brother" Ford said grumpily.

"Wait, Sixer?" Bill asked, eyes raking over him in the dim light.

"Reverse Sixer, you're in Reverse Falls" Ford replied, stomping away with a grumpy look.

Bill blinked in confusion and looked around the room he was in. It was fancier than the Shack, that's for sure, he really must be in Reverse Falls, so why was his brother here too? His eyes caught the bent top hat on the table beside him and he picked it up with a smile, running his fingers over the worn material.

Ford knocked on Mason's bedroom door, knowing full well the demon was asleep. He opened the door when he didn't receive a reply and went in. Will was cuddling Mason rather tightly, both of them fast asleep and snoring softly. He shook Will's shoulder roughly "Will!" he whispered loudly.

Will's eyes scrunched up, and he groaned.

"Will! Wake up!"

Will opened his eyes "Whass goin on?" he asked sleepily, turning over.

Ford smiled "Your brother's awake.

Ford had never seen someone leapt out of bed so quickly.

Will raced down the steps and to the bedroom. "BILL! I'm so happy you're alive!" he cried as he skidded to a stop, practically leaping onto his brother and smothering him in a warm hug. Bill chuckled softly from underneath him "I missed you too, what are you even doing here?"

Will sighed as he got off him, "I got summoned by Reverse Stanford, I am to serve him and his family till he dies...." he said, lying down beside him. Bill grumbled and glared at Ford who was standing awkwardly in the doorway, "Oh? And when will he die exactly?" he sneered,

"I don't know, 72-ish?" Will guessed.

Ford huffed and Will looked at him. "Your death isn't set in stone, Master. Maybe if you ate and slept more, you'd live longer."

Ford waved a hand at him in annoyance and walked off, maybe he should get some sleep, Will was right, it wasn't doing him any good to stay up all the time. Will grinned at his twin "I missed you so much!"

Bill chuckled softly "I missed you too, Blueberry"

"I'm with Mason now, Bill, I..." he trailed off, looking the other way,

Bill sighed and gave him a nod, he understood ".....Oh, well, I'm glad you're happy" his brother replied, sounding a little disappointed with the matter.
