"a nightmare? You woke me up because I was having a nightmare?" Mark asked hardly able to believe it.
"Yeah well... I figured it was better than suffering.." Bill explained leaving out the fact he knew what he was dreaming about.
"Thank you," he whispered trying his best to mask his gratitude.
"Yeah. Dont mention it kiddo," Bill responded with a small chuckle. "We can start on the way to my place if ya want."
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea."
"Of course it's a good idea. It was my idea," Bill said in a playful manner.
Mark just smirked "just because it was your idea doesnt make it a good one." He responded just as playful as Bill.
"Why yes it does!" Bill said faking horror at the thought of having a bad idea.
"Well what if you had the idea to start the end of the world?" He asked in a superior tone as if he knew Bill would have to admit it was a bad idea.
"I actually have had that idea and boy was it fun until pinetree and his friends got involved. But still it worked out for the best," Bill said smiling as Mark seemed to admit defeat. He picked the child up and then started to walk home.
"And you thought that was a good idea because...?" Mark inquired no longer playful. He was curious.
"Well I thought it'd be obvious," Bill started in a honest tone. "If it weren't for me starting Weirdmageddon then I never would've been defeated. I learnt humility. And besides. Now that Im not obsessed with ruling the world I do have a boyfriend."
Mark tilted his head as if surprised by his answer. "I guess that does explain how that would be a good thing" he admits.
"Wow. Not even gonna ask who I'm dating. I must say I am hurt," he said once again back to his playful self.
"I figured youd tell me if you wanted me to know soooo," Mark said clearly not caring either way.
Bill huffed in an exaggerated manner. "Well i never!" He said mocking offense.
Mark giggled and just stuck his tongue out. Bill gave off a mischievous look and booped his tongue. Mark blinked from confusion then realized what happened. He quickly put his tongue back in his mouth.
"The heck was that all about?!" Mark demanded as if he had never experienced that before because, well, he hadn't.
"I couldn't help it. You're the one who stuck your tongue out. You were practically asking for it!" Bill said defensively.
"How was i asking for it?!" Mark asked confused by his uncle's words.
"Well... You just kinda had it sticking out so I poked it," Bill explained as if it was obvious.
"That makes no sense. Did like.. an uncontrollable urge to poke my tongue overtake you when I stuck it out?"
Bill looked at him like he was confused he had never had the urge to poke someone's tongue. He couldn't understand Mark's total confusion. "....yes."
"Are you trying to tell me thats normal for you?"
"Are you saying it isnt for you?!!"
"Yes actually I am saying just that"
"You're so weird..." Bill whispered staring at Mark.
"Oh. So I'm the weird one?!" Mark asked surprised.
Bill nodded in response.
"Oh well... Guess we're weird."
"Oh come on Markus. Weird is way more fun than normal. Who wouldn't want to be weird?"
"Normal people."
"Yes but normal is so overrated." He stopped outside his house and gently placed Mark down. ".....oh no. Not again..."
At first Mark found himself confused until he noticed the water leaking from underneath the door. "Did your house flood?"
"No.... That's Will..... He must have had a fight with reverse Dipper..." He opened his door after he put Mark in a protective bubble. A tidal wave of water errupted out of the door when opened. Bill heaved a heavy sigh as if that were normal. Kill was in the background looking very amused with the entire situation.
"How many times is this now?" Kill asked a small smirk crossing his face.
"This is the 99th time and you know it," Bill responded clearly unamused.
On the couch inside the house sat a blue version of bill. His eyes were red from crying so much. His outfit had somehow remained dry. He looked up and saw Bill and threw himself at him. Bill instinctively caught the blue man and hugged him "calm down okay?"
Will whimpered in response.
"I know I know. You love him. But whatever you fought over it couldnt have been that bad. I'm sure he misses you as much as you miss him." He said trying to reassure
"But.... But.... But..." Will whimpered out in a whiny tone.
"No buts Will. I know I'm right," Bill said confidently
"No you aren't!" Will objected loudly. "He told me not to come back!" He teared up again.
Mark seemed thoroughly confused by the scene unfolding in front of him. Kill was sitting on the bubble Bill had left mark in and was watching eating popcorn he had summoned.
"Will..... Hes told you that fifteen times now. Calm down. You can stay here until hes over it," Bill said trying to reassure the blue version of himself.
To his great relief Will wiped away his tears and nodded a bit. Bill hugged him before releasing Mark from his bubble causing Kill to fall on top of him. Kill glared at Bill. "You did that on purpose"
"Maybe just a little," Bill admitted with a smile.
"Jerk. You could've hurt the kid," Kill said aggressively.
"He's strong. He's related to me."
Kill grit his teeth clearly angry as he took long strides towards Bill. "How could you possibly be so arrogant. He's your s- family and you don't care about him at all." Kill said furiously.
"That's not true," Bill said calmly not even bothered by Kill's anger.
"Well you could've fooled me," Kill hissed angrily as he grabbed Bill by the neck and slammed him into a wall.
Will had run off and hid and Mark was in shock. Bill simply smiled at Kill. "You know you're not very smart."
"I don't care." Kill yelled.
"You care about him," Bill said calmly his eyes softening.
"He's been through a lot."
"And you haven't?" Bill questioned.
"I caused a lot," Kill corrected his tone going from furious to dismayed in a matter of seconds. "You know that..."
"You may have caused that, but you also had to experience it." Bill pointed out.
"I guess so..." Kill released Bill's neck and sat on the couch. He had fallen silent.
Bill picked up Mark and gently placed him on Kill's lap.
Kill hugged Mark instantly as he had flashbacks. Blood covered everything in the room. He shut his eyes tightly. Much to his dismay he could hear screams all around him.
