Dipper's eyes widened in shock.
"No... You can't just do that!"
"Too bad, I just did"
Dipper was beyond confusion. Why would he do this? Why would a bet give two shits about him, let alone this...?
"Why?"
"Because I can't hold the world in my hands, so..."
Cupping Dippers face in both of his hands, Bill smiled in a way that knotted Dippers stomach.
"So?"
"I may as well hold the night sky instead"
His eyes. Dipper knew that at night they reflected light easily but...
"You're making a mistake"
"Letting you walk away from me is the only mistake I could make right now"
Dipper's mind was in turmoil. How had things changed so quickly? Did Bill genuinly want him or was he just an object of lust?
No. He wouldn't subject himself to that kind of torture. His heart had had enough.

Tearing himself away from Bill, Dipper stumbled a few steps back the way he'd came. Bills eyes widened.
"Dipper what are y..."
He took off, not looking back, tears down his face as he turned the corner.

Bill stood there for a moment, not registering what had happened. Then it clicked.
Dipper had left.
"Ah well" Bill muttered to himself quietly, turning the opposite direction of the way Dipper had run. He'd marked Dipper, so finding him would be easy.
What he'd done had no doubt scared the boy, it was only right he not belive what had happened. Bill barely believed it himself.
Someone so perfect, yet so ignorant of it...
"Almost like my other half"
Bill chuckled to himself, lighting another cigarette.
