Her Warming Shield

Her Warming Shield (18+)

Patrick Pines was 16 years old when he and his twin cousins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, were sent up north to Gravity Falls to stay at their Great Uncle Stan's place in the woods, called the Mystery Shack. It wouldn't take less than a day before the weirdness of the town made itself known after the three kids found a mysterious journal in the woods.

Despite the strange things that happened during that summer, and the horrors and dangers they've faced, Patrick always saw it as the best summer of his life. Not only did he and his cousins go on incredible adventures, solving mysteries, but he also made lifelong friends, battled dangerous monsters, and reunited with his family. Not to mention saving the world from a triangular being of Lovecraftian horror.

It was also the summer he met her. The love of his life, Wendy Corduroy. What started out as a simple crush turned into an unbreakable love for one another that only grew over time, even when Patrick would have to return home. They never lost touch with one another and waited patiently for whenever they could visit each other or for the next summer. Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years', Spring Break, whatever time they were given away from the trials and tribulations of school, they'd convince their families to let them see each other. Most of the time it was Patrick that would go to Gravity Falls.

When it was time for the two to go to college, they were both accepted into a university that had what they both wanted to do. So, they packed up the Stan-mobile and headed off to college together. Becoming roommates and beginning their lives together. Always coming back to Gravity Falls, just like always.

Patrick loved Wendy more than any other girl. So much so, that when the time was right, he'd ask her to marry him. And Wendy was the same. It was only a matter of who would ask the question first.

And now, seven years after Weirdmageddon, after being away at college together, Patrick and Wendy were back in Gravity Falls. And their new holiday together was just getting started.

"Hurry up! We don't have much time!" Wendy shouted as the rain was pelting her entire body, but that didn't stop her from tightening her grip onto something.

"I'm doing the best I can!" Patrick yelled as he was bashing the hammer down. His face with the water running down his face that he could barely see anything.

"If we don't do something, we'll lose them!" She answered before a lightning flashed around them and the thunder roared in the black clouds.

Patrick shouted at the top of his lungs before he brought his hammer down with all his strength, and then hit the center of the stake before piercing to the ground.

"I got it! I got it!" Patrick said with a smile as he looked up to see the tarp was now steady and covering the logs from the rain.

"Finally! Let's go inside, quick!"

Patrick and Wendy stood up and ran around the cabin, using their arms to shield themselves from the rain. As they climbed up the porch, Patrick slammed the door open and they both stumbled inside the house before he closed the door.

"Damn it... That storm really hit us bad out there..." Wendy sighed as she took off her hat and squeezed the water out of it.

"I know right! Before we entered the movie theater, the sky was clear. And right after we left the building, bam! Thunderstorm!" Patrick replied as he took off his navy-blue flannel shirt. "Goddamn storm... What a way to start ruining the day..."

"Well... Maybe not ruined. We still have the whole day for ourselves." Her tone suddenly became sultrily before she approached him and swung her arms around his neck.
