A/n: Last chapter before I'll go on vacation.

:::::::::::: No one's POV ::::::::::::

Three months passed. Three very tense months in which Bill had remained in a coma. The humans hadn't appeared and Dipper spent his days next to Bill in his studio (where he usually fell asleep), looking for a remedy to save his love or in the throne room.

He hasn't smiled since that day. He became cold but he turned out to be a good ruler even though his chilling and scary gaze kept everyone distant. When he went to see Bill, he let himself go and he cried until he fell asleep.

From time to time he went to train thinking only of revenge against his ex-family.

His magic had changed color from his light blue/white, it had turned dark blue and black. It was rare for someone's magic change color, even if the other vampires said that Bill's flames turned red every time he was pissed of.

In all this time he ate (or drank) very little. Only one person every three weeks.

His research had proved to be in vain. He also investigated about the deal between Bill and Ford: Bill had managed to keep Ford hostage and he'd surrendered. In exchange for his survival and that of his friend Fiddleford, he made the deal. He had to disappear for at least 30 years and all his weapons would be destroyed.

Bill had been too lenient with Ford that time and now they were all paying the price.

Dipper went to see Tad to change his bandages like he did every two weeks. It was something Bill always did before he fell into a coma.

They started talking, both with sad smiles as they tried to cheer each other up.

But soon they both collapsed and they began to cry tears of sadness and anger.

T: Stanford... that bastard!... If only I could have him in my clutches! How I wish I could break his neck with my own hands!

Tad sighed and relaxed, then he looked at Dipper with a sad look.

T: ... Sorry Dipper, I shouldn't say things like that in front of you. He's still your great-uncle...

Dipper shook his head and he looked away.

D: Do not apologize, I've already told you, he's no longer my "grunkle" and soon I will have my revenge. After killing Mabel I'll bring Ford here so you'll be able to give him the final blow.

T: Thanks Dipper... but you don't have to think about me. You have bags under your eyes and you look paler than you should be if this is possible. If you really want revenge you must think about your health too. Are you sleeping and eating properly?

Dipper smirked and then looked at Tad.

D: Yes mom!

T: Dipper. Don't lie to me, please. Bill wouldn't want to see you in this state...

Dipper looked down with a sad look and he resumed adjusting Tad's bandages.

D: You don't have to worry about my sleep. I don't have the strength to stay awake as soon as the sun rises, even though my dreams are filled with horrible nightmares in which I continue to... to lose him while he's in my arms... I-I'm afraid I can't save him but at the same time... I know I can.

Dipper shook his head as if trying to chase away those terrible visions. Then he added, "But for the food..." and his smile bent into an evil smile and he stopped bandaging Tad.

D: I'm holding out on purpose, I want to make sure that when the time comes I will be as voracious and wild as possible. I won't leave survivors. I don't care how many strangers or acquaintances I will have before me, they are on my family's side and they will all die. I want their corpses to fall to the ground without a single drop of blood left in their body!

Dipper clenched his fists then he took a deep breath and he returned to his work as he began to bite his own lip, as he always did when he was nervous, and a trickle of blood came out.

D: I want to make sure you're all be safe. I can't bear another loss...

He continued to medicate Tad's arm without noticing it until the drop ended on Tad's hand.

Dipper took a piece of cloth to clean the blood, but the drop penetrated into Tad's skin and it disappeared. The horrible burn that was on the back of his hand began to disappear at the same point where the blood was and then it expand a little all around. 

Tad and Dipper stared at the healed wound amazed. The king wiped his lips with a finger and he smeared his blood on the edge of the already healed zone and he saw that the burn retreat more.

D: You... it healed... the solution was my own blood... it was so near...

Tad lifted his arm, looking at his returning just like it used to be. He turned his hand, looking at the palm and the back, then he closed his fingers in a fist and he reopened it. The pain was still present but only because of the tendons attached to the arm still burned, the hand was now completely healed.

Dipper looked at his own hands and the blood on his finger, then he looked at Tad's hand, then again at his blood, and then looked into Tad's eyes with a pleading look.

He smiled and nodded toward the door.

T: Go, run to your love. I've waited more than 30 years, I can wait one or two days more.

Two tears fell on Dipper's cheeks as a happy smile makes its way on his lips after a long time.

He ran downstairs to his room where Bill was sleeping. He stopped as soon as he saw his husband and he wiped away the tears as he closed the door behind him.

He sat down beside him and he moves his hair off his face. The wounds were all on his chest, so his face was as beautiful as ever. At that moment, with a relaxed and comatose face, it was easy to notice his resemblance to his brother Will.

Dipper took a deep breath, then he bites his own arm as hard as he could filling his mouth with his own blood. He then, gently, took his beloved's face and he kissed him, dropping his blood into Bill's mouth.

Dipper felt him swallow, then he tensed and he widened his eyes, showing two blood-red irises. Then Bill closed his eyes and relaxed as his breathing and heartbeat returned to normal.

Dipper started crying, again, with happiness and he squeezed Bill as they kissed more passionately.

D: It worked... it really worked... you're alive... Oh, Bill, I was afraid I lost you forever...

Dipper said stopping to kiss his beloved one. Bill gave a weak laugh and he tried to calm his sobs, stroking Dipper's hair.

B: What happened? What worked? Why did you make me drink your blood? Not that I don't like it, you know I love its taste~.

At that moment he remembered his last moments before passing out. There were the humans and he'd been hit on the side. Dipper had come to help him, he started an argument with his family, then he felt a terrible pain in his stomach and everything went black.

B: I was in a coma because of the wounds of an anti-vampire weapon... You... You woke me up from a coma! Wait... this means we can save Tad! W-we can really help Tad! 

Bill burst out laughing and crying without control, then he and Dipper dried the cheeks of them both and they cuddle for what seemed like an eternity, simply enjoying the presence of the other.

It was Bill who broke the silence.

B: How long have I been asleep?

D: Too long...

B: I know it was too long, but... how much?

D: Three months? I don't know anymore...

Bill chuckled.

B: Usually vampires stop keeping track of time after a century or two, you haven't even been one for five years!

Dipper chuckled too, but then he returned to being serious and he hugged Bill so tightly that if he was human he would have broken his ribs, also sinking his nails into his skin.

D: They will pay...

B: What?

D: They will pay... Ford... Mabel... I won't let them get away with what they did to you and Tad. I will destroy them all with my own hands, I want to make them suffer. I want to destroy them!

Dipper bit his lip again and this time his hands were enveloped by his glacial power and the temperature in the room went down a lot. Bill looked at the new, fascinating, color of ice that was quickly growing more and more up Dipper's arms and was also expanding on his own body.

B: Shhh, relax Dipper. It's all right now. We're together and that's all that matters. Calm down, we will have our revenge before you even realize it. Now, however, relax and concentrate only on my voice.

Dipper realized what he was doing and he withdrew the ice that returned to his usual candid color.

He felt his eyes weary and he looked at the watch on the nightstand. It was almost dawn.

B: Come on now, sleep, we both need it, and when you open your eyes, I'll still be by your side and I won't be in a coma.

Dipper nodded and he got more comfortable, laying down on his side with Bill still hugging him.

D: S-silver dreams... my... kin... 

Dipper fell asleep with a smile on his lips and for once he had no nightmares.

B: Golden Nightmares Pinetree. See you in your dreams.~
