Zero Falls: Season One

Welcome-Part One

(Warning: minor violence)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bill Cipher was awakened by the heavy rain drumming against the window.

He had been leaning against the cool glass, falling asleep after starring at the passing sights. His back and shoulders ached, from the position he was in. Bill was sitting in a moving bus, and a storm was brewing outside, he almost suspected the weather was matching his current mood.

He heard a soft mumble from beside him, and turned to face his brother. Despite them being twins, they couldn't be anymore different. While Bill was confident, his blond hair spiky and full of volume. Meanwhile, Will was shy, his blue hair almost fell over his eyes and was sometimes fluffy. Yet, no matter their differences, they were good together. Not even good, but great. Bill couldn't ask for a better brother...even though Will could grind on his nerves at times.

Like right now, when the blue haired boy was sleeping against him, practically drooling on Bill's shoulder.

Bill growled softly, and shoved his brother off. Will landed on his side, and he hit the bus seat with a thud.

"Ow," He groaned, his eyes opened slowly. "What happened?"

"We hit a bump," Bill lied.

Will rubbed his eyes tiredly, before sitting up. His gaze drifted to the window, and almost jolted at the sudden clash of thunder.

"T-that's quite a storm outside," He noted, nervously.

Bill rolled his eyes. "Really? I didn't notice."

"The road could be slippery, what if we crash--"

"Will, I'm sure we have a competent driver," Bill reassured, then turned to the bus driver and asked. "Isn't that right, good sir?"

The driver answered gruffly. "I'm just doing this because I was kicked out of Backupsmore University."

Bill blinked. "That school is made for literal losers! How the heck--"

He was interrupted, when more thunder struck, and Will was whimpering softly at this point. The blond haired boy regarded him, and sighed heavily. His brother could be really pitiful at times, but that was why Will needed him. Bill stripped his yellow jacket off, so he could cover his twin's shoulders with it. Will gave him a grateful nod.

What would you do without me?, Bill thought, giving his brother a small smile.

Seriously, how would either them live without the other? Bill protected Will at all cost. As for Will, he helped reserve Bill's mental health. Bill had the wits and strength, while Will had the compassion and reasonability. Two halves of an almost perfect whole, if it weren't for them helping each other, they would've never survived their hellhole of a household...

Bill's spine shuttered, remembering all the cruel scenarios their so called parents had forced them into. It filled him with rage, as he recalled the numerous spats he had with his father, that resulted in a few broken ribs and bruises. Bill was then filled with dread, at the reminder of their escape.

It happened only hours ago. The twins had packed all the resources they could find, including stealing their father's wallet. They then had to exit their rundown apartment. However, what had seemed like an easy task, became difficult, when their father found them. He had cursed at the twins, before reaching out a grubby hand and grabbing Will by the throat. Bill had watched in fear, as his brother, the one person he cared about, was strangled by the demon. The blond had known his father well, he knew the man wouldn't hesitate to kill his son. Bill had no clue what happened next, it had been a blur. Vile fury had pooled in his chest, and he had released a outraged roar. And at once...his father had froze, then his eyes had rolled to the back of his head. Bill stared, when the man had collapsed, releasing Will. The blue haired boy had gasped for air, then eyed the body in shock. It had only took them a moment, before they came to realization...
