"Hey Bill! Want to play outside?"

"Sorry Will, got to finish up this deal. Next time I promise!"

~

"Let's go grab some breakfast! You have money right?"

"Not now Will, I'm busy. Be patient."

~

"B-Bill-"

"Be quiet Will! I'm trying to concentrate!"

~

"I'm hungry.."

"What are you mumbling about? I can barely hear you!"

"N-Nevermind.."

~

"Bill I-"

"No."

Will sat on the bed, looking down while tears fell down his face. It's been weeks, if not, months since he's had a conversation with Bill. Who doesn't have time to spend with their brother?!

All Bill ever talked about was the people of this small town. About how they called him a 'savior from the gods.'

At first, he'd finish his deals and come back late at night, but recently, he's begun to spend time with his gang.

It made him a bit jealous that Bill spent time with so many people. He's also noticed Bill's anger and frustration in his voice. Strained almost, like he's was stressed over the days. Like he was insane all the time. He doesn't even remember the last time Bill slept.

Will needed to put an end to this madness. This was too far even for him.

With all his might, Will dropped the spell, undisguising their magical properties. Next, Will used his universal phone to call Tad, hoping he was close enough to arrive sooner rather than later.

One ring.

Twice.

"Will?! Is that you?! Tad's voice was laced with worry.

"Uncle Tad I-" Will looked to the ground in shame, his hands tightening against the phone.

"Where are you!? Where's your brother?! I haven't been able to trace you boys in weeks!" Tad exclaimed.

"Still on that planet..we're fine and safe. But, I-"

"You what? What happened?" Another voice muffled from the other side of the phone. It must be Pi-Mo.

"It's about Bill. We were just getting along with humans and all that power got to his head. He's now invited Pyronica and the others here! I haven't seen much of him since.." Will confessed, glancing at the couch he'd slept on alone.

"You're my last h-hope-" Will said in-between broken sobs.

Tad's face morphed from anger to guilt. He shouldn't of let them go free. He thought they could handle themselves, but maybe it was a stretch. They are still kids afterall.

"Where are you exactly?" Tad questioned, motioning Pi-Mo to get their stuff ready. With a nod, Pi-Mo listened in.

"G-Gravity Falls, Oregon. I'm in a house in the woods..please hurry.." Will sniffled, wiping his tears away.

"We will. Just hang tight, we'll go get you. And once we find you, we're going to find your brother, understand?"

"Yes.."

Pi-Mo took the phone in his hands, Tad bringing bags and bags of supplies in case one of the Ciphers got injured.

"Will?"

"Yes?" Will could barely say a word without becoming dry and empty.

"Have you eaten anything? You sound sick." Pi-Mo says.

"I haven't eaten..since Bill left. We ran out of food.." Will muttered, cowarding in a ball while his stomach churned painfully.

"Tad, get some food and drinks. Yes, I know. We'll find them I swear! You shouldn't of let them go like that!" Pi-Mo snapped at Tad, before returning back to Will.

"We need to hang up. Be there in just a bit. Can you hold on for a minute?" Pi-Mo questioned.

Will's eyes drooped to the ground, letting out a soft 'yes.'

Another click, and Will was let alone. Of course, he was homesick and tired. So, so tired. Tired of Bill's absence and tired of spending the nights alone. Even though Bill might hate him, he couldn't live like this any longer.

Suddenly, the door to the house swing open and Bill walked in. Bill had a large, insane grin on his face, looking rather proud of himself.
Will flinched at the noise, but quickly glanced back down on the floor. He didn't want to stare at such a unstable person anymore. It wasn't his brother anymore.

"Will you'll never guess what!"

"What?" The voice that came out of Will was strange. He sounded almost emotionless, a hint of anger creeping the end. Will's never felt something so strong before, it almost scared him.

Bill didn't take notice and continued his discussion. "The gang and I found a way to get even stronger! There's this rift that includes so much magical properties! We talked to time baby and I know exactly when that rift will appear! In the hands of a scientist no less. Once we get a hold of it, we're unstoppable!"  Bill boomed in joy, laying on his back with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I've been getting better at so many things I even taught Keyhole how to write!"

Will let out a light scoff. Of course he was talking about his gang and all the things they do together.

"T-That's nice-" Will muttered quietly.

Bill pushed himself up, his smile turning into a frown on his face. "What's up with you? You seem so uninterested lately. Like I'm a bore to you. You hardly pay attention to me." Bill grumbled, turning to Will.

Will looked down and murmured softly, his hands clinging onto the sleeves of his sweater. Bill frowned when he saw how Will acted. What was on his mind?

"What's wrong?" Bill asked.

"Nothing."

Bill knew he could read Will's mind, but even he couldn't take all the fowl words Will thought. He's angry, no, furious. Bill's eyes widened. Was Will mad at him? No, it can't be-

Bill narrowed his eyes, Will's thoughts drifting into soft whispers. He must have blocked him out.

"Was it something I did?!" Bill spat, a hint of anger in his voice. "Why haven't you said anything?! Just tell me what's up!"

Will glared back and stood up, face to face with a flustered Bill.

"Yes! It's you! You've been abandoning me even since you put out that dumb fire!" Will yelled, tears welling up in his eyes.

Bill was taken aback, but quickly gained his composer. "So what?! I'm doing what I can to keep us together!"

"Then you're doing one heck of a job! I haven't eaten in weeks Bill! Weeks!" Will snapped.

Bill turned away in horror. Did Will get fed yet? He'd been so caught up in his gang that he'd forgotten- no. He shouldn't be taking care of Will like a pet. He's a grown demon, can't he just take care of himself?!

"Why can't you just feed yourself?! You dont need me to feed you like some lost puppy!" Bill spat, glaring at Will.

Will stared at Bill in disgust. "Don't you dare call me a puppy!" Will spat back.

"Then stop acting like it!" Bill snapped.

Both twins had a moment of silence. Bill rolled his eyes, snapping a small tophat in his hand. "I don't have time for this."

Bill marched to the door, Will's frustration growing. He ran behind, grabbing Bill's hand in his. "Bill stop please I didn't mean to yell-"

"Will let go NOW." Bill hissed, tugging away.

"Stop running away from me! What happened to you?!"

"Will." Bill warned, becoming the dark red hue Will dreadfully recognized.

"Pyronica, is she the reason you're so cold to me? What did she tell you? She's a bad influence on you! Why can't you see that those guys never change?!" Will shouts.

"Her, a bad influence?! Then, please, explain to me why Pi-Mo is sending you away!" Bill sneered, throwing his arms up.

"I can't!"

"Why not?!"

"Because!"

"Okay then it's settled!" Bill snapped back, storming off.

"Wait B-!"

"JUST SHUT UP!" Bill shouts, slapping the palm of his hand against Will's face.

Will fell on the ground, blood oozing down his nose. Tears fell down Wills face, covering his nose while more fell onto the wood floor.

Bill stood back in shock, his hands trembling under the pressure. What had he done?

Will sobbed, his body trembling on the ground.

"W-Will..oh Satan, I'm so sorry please don't cry," Bill placed a hand to Will's shoulder, only for Will to scoot away while more sobs came from his frail voice.
