Suddenly, a large portal appeared between the twins, Tad and Pi-Mo emerging from the inside.

"You are in big trouble, Bill." Pi-Mo sneered.

"Oh sh-"

~(°>°)~

The four made their way outside, the sprinkling of rain falling across Will's face. He occasionally wiped his face off, the stinging pain of a bruise forming on his cheek. Will trailed behind Tad, holding Tad's hand tightly against his own. Behind them, Pi-Mo was practically hoisting Bill up, who was screaming and flashing violently from dark red back to yellow. Will kept his body down, his feet barely trailing forward. He didn't mean to make Bill so upset, but this was for their own good.

If they stayed even longer, Bill would of gone crazy, if not, he would've left Will to starve in that house. Both options left Will sad. Was this even worth it?

They all walked towards the portal, Bill's thrashing turning into exhausted hits. Bill was tired, and he deserved some sleep before he was in the right mind. Maybe..Bill didn't mean to make this mess. Will knew that he needed to talk to Bill after he got some sleep.

Pi-Mo looked over to Will, giving a warm smile even after all Bill's disobedience.

"Why don't you go to your room? Lay on your nice comfy bed while I have a quick discussion with your brother? I'll talk with you in the morning. How does that sound?"

Will looked over at Bill, who was almost limp in Pi-Mo's arms.

"Just..let me know when you're done.."

"I will. Just get some rest."

"I will."

~[>-<]~

"What were you thinking?! Tricking your uncle into taking you god knows where!" Pi-mo rants, pacing around the room.

Bill sat there in frustration, crossing his arms. His eyebrows furrowed in irritation as Pi-Mo spat out each word.

"You'd really think you can just own your own dimension like nothing? You need to work for it, kid-" Tad states.

"I'm NOT a kid anymore! We handled ourselves just fine!" Bill yelled before grumbling,"If Will didn't say a thing I would've achieved the goal-"

"Don't bring Will into this. You're older, and you're supposed to take care of him!" Pi-Mo spat.

"He's fine!" Bill snapped, turning away.

Tad crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow.

"Says the one who let him starve." Pi-Mo hissed.

Tad lowered to Bill's height. "Will needs lots of attention. He's a fragile demon who needs food to survive. Even though you can function fine without food, Will needs it. He'll die if you drag him into one of your dangerous shenanigans."

Bill looks down.

"Do you care about your brother?"

"Will wanted to come." Bill grumbled.

Tad sighed. "Then why did Will call me when you weren't there? He's trusts you. You can't just throw him away like garbage."

"Correct. As the saying goes, it's trashcan not trashcannot." Pi-Mo adds, snickering.

"He should've believed in me that's what." Bill mumbled, crossing his arms.

"If you just listened you'd understand-" Pi-Mo starts in frustration.

"I've been in this place for far too long! Now you listen to me!" Bill growled.

"The only reason we left was because you were going to take Will away from ME. It's all your fault we got into this mess!" Bill snapped, glaring at Tad.

"Bill, that is no way to talk to your uncle." Pi-Mo warned.

"Uncle? It's all titles for him isn't it?! Why dont we give him a crown while we're at it?!"

"Gentlemen! It's fine. I suppose Bill deserves the truth doesn't he?" Tad questioned, kneeling down and brushing a leaf off his hair. Bill flinched, backing away with a dark cold expression. Bill hated being touched by this fool.

"Listen carefully. If you do, I'm sure you'll make the best decision."

Decision?

"William is special. Powerful and young with natural abilities. I wanted to make him my apprentice. Once he dominates a dimension or two, we'll come back for you."

Bill flashed a shade of red before turning away in horror. Tad chose Will over him? This can't be right, Will depended on him, there's no way a demon like him could rule a dimension. He has to be joking..

"You're a fool if you believe Will would rule a dimension. If he knew why you're taking him, he'd tell me! He tells me everything." Bill sneered.

Tad frowned. "Are you sure?"

Bill hesitanted. Did he? A lump stirred in his throat. He couldn't speak or even process another word from his mouth.

That would mean..

Will lied to him.

"Shut up. Just shut up. Will doesn't know I'll ask right now.." Bill says back.

Pi-Mo nods, stepping aside. "Go ahead."

Bill rushed up the stairs, heading to their room just across the halls. He made sure they weren't coming up, before slaming and locking the door shut.

Will was still in his warm fuzzy jacket Bill gave him weeks ago, now dusted and dull in color. His frail body was wrapped inside a blanket, face turned away from the door Bill was standing by. A few moments and Bill could feel himself resisting the urge to throw up. He felt so bad for hitting Will, it made him almost immobile to any actions.

"Wake up." Bill says softly, those cold words piercing Will's heart.

Will dug his face into the covers, eyes spiked in tears.

Bill sighed, making his way over.

"Why did you tattle on me? I'm just," Bill sat beside Will's body, placing his hand near Wills. "I'm sorry okay?"

Will sat himself up, hands on his lap while his eyes darted to the wood floors he's missed.

"I was afraid. Afraid of losing you." Will says quietly.

"What?" Bill asked, laughing jokingly. "I'm always going to be here."

Will turned away from Bill, a hand held against his cheek. "You weren't yourself. It's like I lost someone important to me. I was terrified those people got in your head, corrupted you.."

Bill eyes softened. "Oh Will.."

Bill reached a hand to cup Will's face, turning Will's face just enough so his small blue eyes stared into his. Will averted his gaze just before turning away.

Bill brushed some of Will's fluffy blue hair away from his eyes, tucking it behind his ears.

The bluenete looked up at Bill, tears collecting in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Bill choked out. One glance at Will's bruised face sent Bill reeling onto so many emotions.

"I didn't want to lose you. Please don't leave me again."

Bill embraced his brother, clinging his fingers onto the back of his shirt. Will set his hands to the side, biting his lip while letting out small sobs.

"It's okay to be upset with me. It's okay to cry. But, I can't be okay with you not talking to me." Bill says.

"I- c-can't either." Will sobbed, burying his face onto Bill's chest.

Bill rubbed a hand against Will's back, his messy blond hair falling to the front of his face.

"We should get some sleep. Pi-Mo will kill me if I kept you from resting." Bill joked, causing Will to let out a small smile.

"He would, wouldn't he?" Will adds, grabbing Bill's arm and pulling him into the covers.

"Willlllll- C'mon-" Bill pouts.

Will hugs Bill's arm, looking up with big, starry eyes. "You promised me."

"I did..didn’t I?" Bill states, sighing softly.

"I guess one time wouldn't hurt."

Will smiles, his eyes drifting to sleep.

"I'm...glad you're back..I missed you.."

"Yeah," Bill starts, looking up at the window shining against the moonlight.

"Me too." Bill seemed so unsure with his words, but let it slide. This was his first nap in weeks and he wasn't going to waste it on thoughts in his head.
