BillDip AU: The Triangle Club

Breaking Point

The loud pounding of the club music seemed to have suddenly gone quiet. All that could be heard were the sound of two heartbeats echoing throughout the room. This feeling was very familiar to Dipper, it's almost like deja vu. Although this time it wasn't a moment of fear, it was a moment of utter happiness. The warm sensation of Bill's strong, toned arms made Dipper sink right into his embrace. Desperately trying to keep it together Bill tightens his grip on Dipper. In response to this Dipper gently holds him closer as he could feel a few tears drip down onto his shoulder. All of Bill's stress, negativity, and fear was beginning to wash away with Dippers tender hug. After a couple of minutes passed Bill finally pulled himself together and started to slowly pull away to look Dipper in the eyes. While still having their arms gently around each other.

"You okay Bill?" Dipper wondered in concern.

"I will be fine Pinetree, you just...took me off guard" Bill mumbled trying to hide emotions.

"We're alone Bill, you don't need to hide from me. So please be open, I can tell that you want to but you are scared. Don't be and just talk to me" Dipper tells him sincerely.

Bill was completely flustered by the statement. The fact that Dipper was able to see past Bill's tyrant facade in spite of the mistreatment in the beginning. Was proof that Dipper is more than just an average nerd, he was special. However, Bill kinda already knew that, he just didn't want to believe it. Bill takes a deep breath and looks at Dipper with compassionate eyes.

"I'm not a man of words Pinetree I prefer to use actions to express how I feel. You want to take that risk?" Bill says in a soft voice.

Dipper's face blooms a pink blush across his cheeks "I am Bill" he says.

Bill lets out a small chuckle "So persistent as always. Very well I shall show you"

The golden-haired boss manoeuvres a hand to place upon Dippers warm cheek. This surprised the brunette that it sent a strange tingle throughout his body. Just then Dipper sees Bill leaning in closely with his eyes slowly closing. The immense pressure builds up as Bills lips draw closer and closer to Dippers. However, this didn't scare nor angered Dipper it actually made him want those lips to reach his. As their lips were only a mere inch away from each other a knock at the door suddenly awaken the two boys from their passionate haze.

"Boss! It's me! Can I come in?!" Key called out from the other side of the door.

Their eyes widen at the mere idea of what they were actually about to do. They couldn't believe they were about to kiss! Another knock is heard causing the pair to break away from each other and pull themselves together.

Bill cleared his throat "Come in!" he called back to Key.

The door flies open and Key walks in with a heavy breath and sweat dripping down his forehead. As he was about to speak, he noticed Dipper in the room.

"Oh, there you are Dipper! I was looking all over for you! Pardon me but I hope I wasn't interrupting anything" Key exclaims.

"No you weren't Key, he was just dropping off money for me" Bill briefly explains.

"Oh good! Dipper we need you on the floor! Customers are demanding your services right now!" Key walks over to Dipper.

"Okay, I'm coming. I guess I better head out" Dipper looks over to Bill.

"Yea you should," Bill muttered almost sounding rather sad.

"See you later" Dipper mumbled back returning that sad tone.

As Key escorts Dipper out the door and closes it behind them the boys were suddenly snapped back to reality. Bill is the boss and Dipper is a worker. A relationship like that is tacky and taboo, not to mention dangerous. Bill has to keep up this bad guy routine in order to keep his club from falling under and to keep everyone safe from Zander. With his unpredictable life he could hurt or even worse get Dipper killed. Just thinking about it made Bill feel the urge to cry once again, he can't bear the fact of seeing Dipper dead. He already had that scary, heart-pounding experience and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if Dipper died because of him. It was too heartbreaking to think about.
