Zombie attack (a billdip au)

Chapter 18: Watching the stars.

Dipper's POV

I woke up before Bill that morning. The sun wasn't out and I looked at the small digital clock on the nightstand beside the bed.

'3:00am' Great. My hat was next to the clock. Bill must have taken it off when I fell asleep along with my jacket. I looked back at the blonde. Bill's arm was around my waist still so I couldn't move much but he looked peaceful. I smiled a bit to myself and lightly brushed his bangs away from his eyes.

"Watcha doing Pine Tree?" Bill asked, keeping his eyes closed. I jumped back a bit.

"Oh uh Bill!" I took my hand away from his forehead. "How long have you been awake?" My voice cracked a bit at the end of my sentence. Stupid voice cracks. Bill sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"When you sat up. I'm a bit of a light sleeper." Bill yawned. "What time is it?" he asked.

"3:01." I told him

"Why the heck did you wake up so early?"

"Well I didn't mean to wake up at three in the morning, it just happened."

"Okay I believe you Pine Tree." He said, chuckling. "So what were you doing with my hair?"

"N-Nothing."

"You sure about that? Cause your face is red."

"N-No it isn't!" I quickly laid back down with my back towards Bill. "I'm going back to sleep!" I wasn't tired, not one bit, but I wanted to get out of this conversation. I heard Bill laugh a bit.

"I was only teasing you Pine Tree." he told me. "Come on, let's do something fun."

"No" I said. I didn't want Bill to see the red that was probably still on my face. I heard Bill get off the bed and he went in front of me. I closed my eyes.

"Why not? You woke me up so now we gotta do something together."

"Like what?" I asked.

"Well we can go to the garden and look at the stars." My eyes opened.

"Stars?" I asked.

"Yep!" I jumped up out of the bed.

"Well come on then! Let's go then!" I ran to the door and stopped when I heard Bill laughing.

"Pine Tree, you probably want shoes on." He told me.

"Oh, right." I said. I quickly grabbed my shoes and put them on. "Are we ready now?" I asked. Bill nodded his head.

"You might want a jacket on, it could be a little cold."

"Nah I'll be fine." I told him

"Okay if you're sure." he said, getting his own jacket on and grabbing a blanket. "Okay now we can go." We quietly walked into the hallway.

"What are you two doing?"

"Hey Paz," I said slowly, turning around.

"Hi, what are you doing Dipper?"

"Getting a snack?" She looked like she didn't believe me. Pacifica looked slightly tired, like she's been up all night. She had a flashed light in her left hand and a small knife tied to her waist.

"Yeah, you're going to the kitchen with Bill, with a blanket and shoes on. Definitely." I sighed.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Pacifica rolled her eyes.

"I'm on night patrol for this week. A few other people and I roam the halls at night to make sure no one is breaking in."

"Is that why I haven't seen you all week?" I said trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, now, what are you guys doing?"

"Pine Tree and I are going to the garden to look at the stars."

"Well why didn't you just say that you dumb dumb? Just make sure you don't fall asleep out there."

"See you later Ms. Northwest!" Bill grabbed my hand and we left Pacifica quickly. We arrived at the garden and Bill laid the blanket down next to the Sunflowers. The wind blew and I shivered slightly. I really should've brought a jacket. "You cold Pine Tree?"

Yes. "No, I'm fine." Stupid.

"Are you sure? Cause you're shivering a bit there." I hummed a response. I rubbed my arms trying to warm up. I felt fabric cover my shoulders. "Just have my jacket, Pine Tree." Bill said.

"You're going to get cold Bill,"

"Nah I'll be fine. Plus I'm supposed to take care of you." Right. One of the reasons he's being nice to me is that Mabel asked him to take care of me. Bill had his arm around my shoulders and I leaned a little into his small embrace. Well, I can keep hoping. "Hey Pine Tree, which dipper are you?" I smiled.

"The best Dipper duh." Bill laughed and mumbled something under his breath. I looked at Bill. "What was that Dorito?" Even though it was night, I could slightly see Bill's face. He looked slightly red.

"N-Nothing Pine Tree."

"You sure Bill? Cause it looks like it was something." I said.

"Hush it Pine Tree." I chuckled. I looked at Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, or the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. My parents said I was marked with the stars whenever I got teased for it. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "Are you tired Pine Tree? Do you wanna go back up?"

"Nah, I want to keep looking at the stars. You can go back up though."

Bill squeezed my shoulder lightly. "I'll stay here with you." He told me. I looked back up at the stars. They were as bright as ever with the new moon. I held back another yawn. I wanted to enjoy this. But I can't get what I want because I could feel my eyes close.

"Bill?"

"Hmm?"

"Wake me up if I," I yawned. "If I fall asleep." Bill said something I didn't hear. I let my eyes close for a moment. The moment lasted longer than I wanted. You can probably guess people listening in, what happened next. I fell asleep. And I hope Bill wakes me up.
