Good Little Follower (Bill Cipher X Reader)

C44: The Queen

     Now back in your dreams, you looked down at your clothes. The queen piece, with hints of gold?  That was new. 

"The pop of color is cute," you said, talking to Bill, who you'd yet to turn and see. Before you could do so, you felt his arms wrapped around you!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA," Bill exclaimed before planting a wet smooch on your cheek.

"So you already know, don't you," you asked. "I take it you're pleased?"

"I just finished going through your memories to see how everything went, and-" He kissed you again, "MWAH! You did great today, puppet!"

"Oh," you responded, relieved he hadn't been angry, (and blushy over all the attention). "Thank you!"

Bill smiled. "Of course! I mean, minus the incident from the other night, this would'a gone flawlessly, but even WITH what happened, you pulled it off? THAT'S AMAZING!"

"I'm so sorry about that," you apologized. "Us kissing on the cameras, it was all my fault, and-"

"NO, no," he assured you. "Both of us were off guard the other night. Besides..." Your love moved to your other side, nudging you in the arm. "...you know it was worth the effort! Huh, huh!"

"I'd lie, but you know I'm thinking it," you conceded.

     "I have to admit I'm impressed," he flattered you. "I mean, sneaking up on Pinetree to steal the memory gun is one thing, but confronting them face to face! Not only that, but blending in with their unconscious bodies to regain the Pines' trust? You're a little genius!"

You didn't really think about it like that at the time. "I am kind of a badass," you thought.

"Damn straight," he exclaimed.

Getting a little bit of a big head, you replied, "Oh, stop it! Anyone could have come up with a rickety plan like that."

"That doesn't mean anyone can do it," he reminded you. "You jumped in front of an active portal to save that kid! The whole plan was on the line, and you could have even died, but now our biggest problem causer trusts you with his life! I am so proud of you, and so mad at you!  You are amazing! Never do that again!"

He was sending a lot of mixed signals, but you got the idea.

     The two of you were enjoying the moment, but one of you had to ask. "So," you started, "as well as things ended up going... it was risky as hell... I guess I'm just wondering... What does this mean for us?"

"Us," your love asked. "Oh, uh... I guess we should just avoid me dropping you off at your place anymore, right? I mean, that seems logical to me!"

You were shocked. Had he considered the potential danger of the two of you being together now? Had he forgotten what he told you he would have to do if things got this close again?

Bill kissed your forehead. "I didn't forget what I said, but it seems like you forgot what I said!"

"What you said," you asked.

"I play by NO ONE'S RULES," he reminded you.

"Not even your own." You smiled. Everyday it seemed he wanted you a little closer, didn't it?

     "We'll just have to be more careful," he said.

You looked away, worried. "You said that last time," you muttered, "I want you to be safe."
