Mr. Poe (Wirt X Dipper)

I'm runing out of title names (Chapter 6)

Wirt's P.O.V.

I opened the door to see a man a bit taller than Dipper but a bit shorter than me, he stood there as I tried to figure out what to say to him I didn't know him so why is he here? Salesman maybe?

"Hey so is Dipper here? I kinda need to run something by him before I do something crazy. If that's alright with you of course." asked very formally.

I couldn't say no to such a nice man, he asked instead of just demanding it's a nice change you know? I stepped aside and let him in as he rushed past me. He walked right past everything like he knew my house's layout and straight to Dipper who was just standing right where I left him. I stopped the record player as the man pulled Dipper into the kitchen and talked for a bit. I would like to know who this man is first but that is fine Dipper didn't turn him away and he seemed to know him so he's not in any danger. Thank heavens.

"Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that Marco. I say you should meet her parents it's not like they're gonna just chop your head off for dating their daughter. She was left here with you it should be fine. Just be honest with them and everything should play out smoothly. It's just a getting to know them over dinner calm down." Dipper said ever so calmly and held this "Marco's" shoulder.

"You have no idea how stressful this is for me! I want my first impression of me to be good, Star's mom is very picky! And don't even get me started on her dad! He can easily kill me because I shake his hand wrong! I might tell her I can't go through with this. It's too much for me already and they don't get here until two weeks!" Marco yelled pacing around the counter in my kitchen.

Now I really shouldn't be eavesdropping but it's hard when they aren't being very quiet about this. I get it though this would be stressful for me if I had the chance to meet Dipper's parents. But that will never happen I guess. I wonder what his parents were like. Were they anything like him? He sure looks like them but he never talks about them? I get it, it's a hard thing to bring up but why didn't he tell me sooner when we talked for hours? I mean it could have been that we brought nothing up in our talks to get that can of worms open but even in Mable's scrapbooks there were not many family photos or if they were there were none with the parents. Maybe too hard for them? Or maybe they left on bad terms? This is gonna have my brain turning for hours.

Dipper soon walked in and saw me sitting there in thought. I barely noticed until he nudged my shoulder and sat down next to me. I'm guessing that he let Marco out while I was thinking to myself.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked and sat closer to me ready for me to spill the beans on what I was just thinking about.

Oh god, I can't tell him I was thinking about that! He got so upset when I brought them up at his house! SAY SOMETHING BUT NOT THAT!!!

"He's got it rough... Meeting your partner's parents is hard if you know nothing about them." SHIT!!! I STILL BROUGHT UP THE PARENTS THING!!! ARE YOU STUPID!?!? HE'S GONNA GET UPSET! THIS IS IT! ENJOY BEING SINGLE AGAIN!!!

"Heh. Yeah... He's gonna get through it. Marco is just being too hard on himself. There is nothing he can do to piss off Star's parents too bad that they'll make her leave him. Besides Star wouldn't do that to him anyway. She cares about him too much to do that." He said and put his head on my shoulder.

Oh... That went better than I thought. THANK GOD!!! I DIDN'T FUCK UP AND LOSE HIM!! JESUS I NEARLY BROKE DOWN!!! Oh thank god, I'm so glad that didn't upset him in any way. I sat with him for a while and eventually I got the answers I didn't even ask for. It did upset him but he didn't show it. Damn.

"They uh didn't want us around after a while. At least that's how it felt. You know?"

"W-What?"

"Again that's just how it felt to me... One day they just shoved us away for good? And we don't know why... It just happened. Mable and I didn't know what we did wrong. Mable took it more personally than me. Sure they left us but it couldn't have been our fault right? We were just kids we didn't do anything too big for them to do that. Not that I know of at least...."

"Oh, love... I didn't mean to bring this up... We don't have to talk about this." He quickly cut me off.

"But..... If I had the choice... I mean if they were still alive that is..... I want you to have nothing to do with them..... They never approved of my choices anyway... I'm just glad I have you by my side... You, Mable, Marco, my family that lets me do what or what I don't want to do and the people I choose to have around me. It's not much but it's better than being alone and having to deal with this alone... I'm sorry if this is all too much... We can talk about something else if you want." He nervously laughed and quickly tried to avoid everything he just said.

I quickly wrapped my arms around him and held him tight hoping that I'd never let go. That's a lot to unpack and all of it at once is hard to take in but I want to help him get through it and take that pain and heavy lift off his shoulders. I hope I can truly help in any way I can, he means so much to me even though we've been bearly a couple for a few days.

"Wirt dear? This is too tight... I CAN'T BREATHE!!!" Dipper gasped and started lightly smacking my back to get me out of my thoughts.

"I AM SO SORRY!" I said and finally let go of him.

Dipper's P.O.V.

I sat there and wondered what I did to make Wirt hold me so close and so tight that he nearly made me pass out. Was it what I said? Oh god did I over-share again? I need to stop doing that.

"Look about all that stuff I just like threw your way. You can forget it and pretend I just didn't bring down the vibe. I'm really bad at keeping that depressing shit to myself." I said quickly and started picking at my fingers.

"Honey I don't care. If you need to get that stuff out just tell me. I don't mind it's better than keeping all that stuff inside and having to deal with it on your own when it all spills out." He sighed and pulled me into another hug but this time not squeezing me too hard.

I kinda wish I could stay like this forever with Wirt. I hope I don't screw this up.

{YOOO HEY SO I'M NOT DEAD SORRY FOR MAKING Y'ALL WAIT LIKE 2 YEARS FOR THIS UPDATE! You all should thank 1f48he2 for reminding me that I've been keeping this book in the dark basement starving. Anyways I'll try my best to keep updating this I want to but I wasn't motivated for a bit because of an ex-friend making my writing. Sure it's kinda crappy but I made it for fun they made it not fun for a while. But I'm back enjoy I'll make more soon! ☆}
