ɔɦɑρʇəʀ 10- The Future

3rd Person's POV

Dipper and Mabel already went home the other day after watching the movie. They said their goodbyes before leaving the mindscape.

And today, (Y/n) is left alone. She's watching the TV while eating fries when Bill puts his arm in the brunette's shoulders.

"Hey, the Pines twins already visited us, so why don't we pay them a visit?" He suggests.

"For a second there, I thought you weren't really the real Bill." Te girl said facing Bill. "Nice joke." The demon playfully rolls his eyes, snapping his fingers to change his clothing in a more-of-a-human ones.

"Bill, can you teach me how to that part? I'm getting tired of changing with bare hands." (Y/n) asked the demon. "Okay then... we still have 30 more minutes to spare before going to their world, anyways." Bill said, leading the teen to the large room they have been before.

Bill's POV

It's really easy to teach her. I mean, she is one of our kind. But not exactly.

She's supposed to be the most powerful demon to exist after her father. But the part that I don't get, she's powerful and a full demon, but she doesn't know and her powers didn't come out yet. Except for the things she told me during our last training.

"Where do we start, Bill?" She faced me, excited to perform her powers.

"Try thinking about the clothes you want to wear,then snap your fingers." I said as I demonstrated. From my recent clothes, to a black dress coat, a yellow shirt with brick patterns underneath, a black bow tie, black shoes, black gloves, black pants, a gold eye patch. She was obviously stunned looking at my new clothes. Then I started to try to read her mind.

'--I am fearing for my nose now.'

I snickered when I heard her thought.

"Your turn." I mentioned as she quickly snaps back to reality. "Okay then." She focused immediately. Then she snapped but nothing happened.

"Bill, it didn't work." She stated, looking quite disappointed.

"Don't worry, maybe snapping isn't your thing, Snowflake." I said reassuring her.

'Wait, since when did I do this 'reassuring'? It feels so wrong for a dream demon like me, but it feels so right when I'm with (Y/n).'

I paused for a moment.

'Somethings off with me...'

(Y/n)'s POV

"Bill, it didn't work." I said, slightly disappointed.

"Don't worry, maybe snapping isn't your thing, Snowflake." He said, sounding reassuring.

"What am I gonna do then?" I asked back. But he didn't answer. Probably thinking about something. "Bill? You okay?" He didn't answer once again.

"Bill? Bill!" I raised my voice. That's when he decided to answer.

"Ah... Huh?" That was the only answer I received.

'He must be thinking about something really serious.'

"Bill, is everything alright?" I asked him because he was unsure of what he'll say.

"Yes, never mind that. What was your question?" He answered.

"I know something's wrong. Just tell me, what is it about?" I questioned him back. "Don't worry Snowflake. I'm fine, I swear." He said.

"What was your question a while back, dear?" He added.

"What do I do? The snap didn't work." I told him. "If snaps don't work, well, try clapping twice." The demon said.

By the way, why didn't he return his normal clothes?

He sticked with the black dress coat, and the others?

'Well, never mind. He still looks good though.'

I thought about a yellow gown with black flowers at the edges. The front part of the gown was only until my knees, and the back part was until the floor. I also thought about a black hairband, a yellow and black wedge high heels. The dress do not have sleeves. I also imagined a long yellow and black gloves and stockings. After I processed my clothes, I noticed the color.

It was Bill's.

I think he wants my clothes to match with his. But he has no idea what kind of clothes I'm thinking of.

After all of that I closed my eyes tightly and clapped twice, just like how I played Hide and Clap back in the days.

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised with what I saw.

Well, I didn't see myself yet.

But I saw Bill's mouth wide open while looking at me.

"Bill, please make a mirror, I really want to see if it really worked." I asked him politely. Then he immediately closed his mouth, realizing what he has been doing. He stayed beside me then snapped his fingers. He made a large mirror appear that was enough to see my and Bill's body. When I looked at it, I was estonished and amazed.

I loved what I was seeing.

Bill and I stood in front of our reflection. I blushed at the thought of us looking like a real couple.

"So... how do I look?" I ask Bill even though I know what he was going to say.

"You look inhuman." He said with a genuine smile plastered in his face. That was the first time I saw him smile like that, ever.

"Is that a good thing or..." He just chuckled, silencing me.

"Do you like what you're seeing in the mirror?" He asks. From facing him, I looked at the mirror and a wide smile formed in my face.

Then I felt both of my cheecks heat up more. But I didn't care. I really loved what I'm seeing. But my smile faded away because I know that this will never ever happen. I hope Bill didn't notice.

Bill's POV

I really like what I am seeing in the mirror. And it seems like Snowflake does too. She smiled when i asked her if she likes what she is seeing. And that smile did things to me, without myself realizing the effect she had instantly.

'Who knows, maybe this will come in the future...'

I felt a weird feeling in my stomach. I really can't describe what was happening. Was being out on this dimension taking a toll on me?

Is this what meatsacks feel towards people they really like?

Am I feeling the same?

'No, this can't be happening. Maybe its my imagination-- no Bill, you are not imagining this, what is wrong with you? I feel like my head exploding. I need someone to talk this out.' I thought for a while.

'Snowflake does know about this feeling, but I cannot tell her, maybe she is not feeling the same way, who else.' Then a certain, annoying person came in my mind.

'Shooting Star.'

(Y/n)'s POV

I was distracted by thinking about Bill liking me. I mean, he likes the image of us in the mirror. Then I feel my cheeks burn again. Yup, I'm blushing. Bill didn't notice.

Wait, how did he not notice?

Wait, here he is again, thinking about who-knows-what. When I looked in the mirror. I heard Bill talk.

"No, this can't be happening. Maybe it's my imagination." He said.

I started wondering what was he talking about. I continued listening.

"I need someone to talk this out." He mentions. Now I'm dazed. What is he talking about? Is he even aware I'm still here?

'Just continue listening.'  I told myself, so I did. "Maybe she is not feeling the same way, who else..." He continued then paused for a moment.

"Shooting star." He finally said.

'Wait, who? Shooting star-- MABEL?'

What is he talking about? "Bill, what about Mabel?" I decided to talk. "What? I didn't say anything." He looked confused. I raised a brow. "Don't play games with me Bill, you were just talking about your imagination, then you suddenly were talking about your feelings, then someone not feeling the same way, then Mabel." I explained.

"What?! How did you know? Is that all the things you just heard?" He asked, shocked. "What are you talking about? And yes, that's all the things I heard from you." I replied.

"(Y/n), I didn't say those things," he says, "I thought about them." He finished.

"What?!" I freaked out. "What do you mean?!" I continued.

"Snowflake, you can hear thoughts now. But I can't read or hear yours all the time." Bill said,a smile formed on his face.

"Thats one of my powers now? I can read minds?" I asked, not believing what was happening. "Yes, but that doesn't mean you can read my mind, get it?" He mentions, but more serious this time.

"But I can't control it! I didn't even mean to read your mind a while ago!"

"You can just simply control it by focusing on the person you want to invade thoughts of." He said.

'This is so fucking cool!'

"Yeah, I know right."

"Bill, you hypocrite."

"Okay I'll stop."

"But I thought you can't hear my thoughts anymore."

"Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't."

"Why is that?"

"I can't answer that now. But don't worry, you'll find out sooner."

"Okay then, but when?"

"You ask too many questions, (Y/n)."

I unconsciously grinned at the mention of my name. I eyed him, and he did the same.

"Its been so long since you called me by name, Bill."

"I know, that's why I used it again."

"So ready to go to the Mystery Shack?"

"You're going there dressed like that?"

"Ah, I almost forgot... how about you?" I really forgot about my outfit. But it feels really comfortable. "Nope, I'll change too." Bill replied. Then one snap from his fingers, he changed his clothes into a Yellow polo with black stripes and black pants. "I'm done. Hhow 'bout you?" He said. Then I thought about my clothes, I'm planning a black and white theme.

'Yeah, black and white could be nice.'

'Try black and yellow.'

'... What are you doing.'

'Just stick with black and yellow, please.'

"Did you just say please?" We communicated in real life now. I smirked at his sudden use of polite words. It's almost as if he's desperate, coming from a demon like him.

"Yeah, so what?" He replied plainly. "Okay then." I thought about a yellow and black crop top and black high waisted shorts and a pair of black converse. Then I clapped twice.

"Here, happy?" I said, gesturing to the color of my clothes. "Yeah, you look good." Bill said.

"Well, let's go then." I said, grabbing Bill's arm. I tugged his sleeves, and he knows what I mean because he opened a portal right infront of the shack.

'Well, here we go.'
