All demons were vain.

When they catch their reflection they can't help but glance and take in themselves.

Bill was no stranger to vanity. He enjoyed himself and what he looked like no matter what form he took. He liked what he saw and that was a fact.

There was something about looking into Pine Tree's eyes though.

When he's around the boy he doesn't wear his eye patch. He doesn't need to and he likes that. He looks back at himself as he stares into the boy's eyes. Dipper doesn't see the eye that keeps covered under a patch. He doesn't see the black sclera or the white iris.

He just looks up just above Bill's head and talks about whatever he wants to talk about.

And Bill just looks into the unsuspecting boy's eyes and sees himself reflected back. He can't explain why it fascinates him so. Was it because he was all seeing? He had to admit he wouldn't know what to do with himself if he couldn't see things like he could. He liked being in the know and having it all.

Or maybe he was just vain. The boy's eyes were his new favorite mirror. He wanted to pose and model and watch himself reflected in those foggy eyes.

"Bill?"

He must've zoned out. "What's up, kiddo?"

Dipper has his brows furrowed as he looks at him. "You do that a lot."

The demon can't help but chuckle. "Do what?"

"You get all quiet whenever we talk sometimes."

"Noticed, huh?"

He stared into the boy's eyes before shaking his head and turning away.

Dipper nodded, frowning a little. "What's up?"

"I just think a lot and suddenly my head's in the clouds." He laughed a little. "Nothing to worry about. I didn't mean to seem rude or anything though."

Dipper shrugged. "It's okay, I guess. I'm not mad or anything."

Bill felt his lips curve into an involuntary smirk. "That's good then. I wouldn't know what to do if you were mad at me, Pine Tree."

Dipper scoffed. "Whatever you weirdo."

"We should head back or else your dear old uncle will think the worst of me." Bill posed dramatically then remembered who he was talking to and stopped.

The younger boy just shrugged then went about getting his bearings. They weren't too far from the shack just far enough for some privacy. It was their little spot to get away from the craziness that was work.

"He just means well."

Bill hummed as the boy led the way back to the Mystery Shack. As they did he quickly slipped his eye patch back on. He couldn't forget to cover that up.

He noticed Dipper shiver a little.

"It's getting darker, huh?"

Bill looked up to the sky that wasn't covered by treetops. "Yep."

"We'd better hurry then." The boy picked up a little more speed.

Before long they were back.

Bill blinked as he felt Dipper's hand inside his.

"Maybe sometime you can tell me the stuff you think a lot about?" the boy asked shyly.

His hand slipped out of Bill's. "But only if you want."

"Maybe one day, kiddo."

Dipper smiled a little. "I'll take it."

Looking into the boy's eyes Bill wondered what if would be like if the boy could see him. See him stare, entranced by his own reflection. See his unnatural eye burning into his normal human one.

Maybe one day we'll find out.

"Catch ya later, Pine Tree."

"See ya, Bill."

Bill couldn't help but snicker. "Yeah."

Vain and easily amused. That was him.

"See ya."

idek just blind!Dipper and creepy Bill.
