Deal (Bill Cipher x Reader)

7

You woke up to the harsh sunlight filtering through your window blinds. It was around 9:30, time to go to work. Or not. You suddenly remembered Bill w
Cipher, the dream demon, was asleep on your couch. You would probably have to stay with him all day to make sure he didn't get into any trouble. After getting dressed in jeans and a black tank top you walked out of the hallway and into the living room. Bill wasn't there.

Panic rose in your throat as you looked around. Where was he? He couldn't have gone far, he didn't have his powers. You were about to start calling his name but as you walked into the kitchen, you finally spotted him sitting at the table.

There were spills all over your tiled kitchen floor from various foods. A whole carton of milk was spilt, still leaking a few drops onto the ground. The fridge was open and so was about half of the cabinets. On the table there was more stains and spills along with three forks, a spoon, a blue mixing bowl, an open ketchup bottle laying on its side, and a little box of french fries tipped open and scattered all over the surface of it. Bill sat in one of the chairs, holding a half-frozen hamburger in one hand. He looked up at you when he heard you come in. He gave a little wave. "Good morning."

You couldn't be angry at him. He looked so helpless and adorable sitting there in the mess he made. Without his powers, he really was helpless! You laughed a little and grabbed some paper towels to help him clean up. He kind of sat there as you cleaned, then you snatched the burger out of his hand. "Hey!" He said, but you smirked and lifted an eyebrow as you tossed it into the garbage can. "I'm gonna make you a real breakfast," you said and started on cooking some pancakes. Bill watched you as you poured the batter.

"You're real weird, kid," he said, but nothing more. As you put the pancakes on his plate you saw his mouth water a bit. "Eat," you said simply. He looked confused. "Oh, that's the thing where you put stuff in your mouth, right?" He asked and you couldn't help but hold back your laughter.

You took a fork and cut a piece from his pancake, gesturing for him to do the same. He did, and you carefully lifted the piece into your mouth. He followed, watching your every move carefully and following them. You got to chewing and he got lost. You smiled and opened your mouth after swallowing. "See? That's how you eat!"

He opened his mouth and you kind of cringed as you saw soggy pancake bits in his mouth. "No," you said and closed his mouth with your hand. You chewed the air and held his jaw as he tried to chew. He finally got the hang of it and you laughed. "There you go!" You cheered and he smiled and scarfed down the rest of his meal. You dropped your hand and for a moment it grazed his hand. The butterflies in your stomach went wild and you quickly put your hand in your lap. You decided having him help you wash dishes would end up in a disaster, so you let him go back to the living room and helped him turn on the TV.

As you watched dishes you heard the faint voices coming from the TV. It sounded like he was watching some gameshow...strange. You couldn't help but think of him. Bill Cipher was staying at your house! This was amazing, maybe he would fall in love with you...? Wait, were you in love with him?! No. Yes? Did he like you? Or was it just....you looked down and lifted the collar of your shirt to see the citrine stone necklace still there. You tried to tell yourself he just wanted the stone, but something inside you couldn't give up the hope that maybe he had feelings for you, even though you still didn't exactly know where you stood.

Not a problem, there would be plenty of time to sort out your complicated feelings since it would most likely take a week or two for Bill to regain his powers. In the meantime, you decided to go see what he was up to. You found him sitting on the couch watching a cheesy gameshow. You smiled to yourself and he scooted over so you could sit next to him. You took the seat and your heart didn't stop pounding until the show ended.
