Set in Stone, forged in flesh (Billdip) (willdip)

8

Walking down the moonlit trail I relaxed, now used to the glowing spots and lines that decorated my body and hair. I spun through the strands of moonlight, and giggled as glowing mushrooms grew in the places my shoes touched the ground. I had almost forgotten all the distressing shit happening in my life, till I turn too two of the more stressful beings in my life, for multitudes of reasons. I was still to figure them out, always a mystery enjoyer I suppose, I internally mused. As I smiled over my shoulder to the brothers and realised they where staring into my eyes, I assumed from the shocked look that they'd turn into the galaxies that had made themselves known earlier in the day. I hummed and looked to the glowing moon behind me, I wished I could fly just to be closer to it. I sighed and continued down the path, mushrooms turning to glowing flowers and creatures crawled from their groves, fairies fluttering just behind the trees. They all watched curiously, the brothers doing the same till a figure trotted through the trees, walking to my side in the night, animals bowing to the pure white stag as it walked with me, seemingly glowing blue in the star light I cast.
"hello, starling. Its been a long while since one of yours has blessed our forest, with a young one as well. So I've heard."
The stag spoke, making me look slightly surprised before I remembered Clarence.
"it was a surprise to me, a family heir loom that was given to me by my grandfather. I surprise to me and my sibling, I assure you."
I said, feeling the need to show the utmost manners to this creature.
"ah, was he one of yours?"
The stag spoke again, I shrugged.
"I've not the inkling, never told me if he was."
I turn to the stag more, seeing moonstone tear drops hanging from its horns. I rose a brow and smiled.
"if you don't mind my asking, what are you? You hold the forests respect and my friends, yet you seem more than a simple stag. Are you one of my other half?"
The stag seemed to chuckle and bow its head with a shake, turning its head to the dream demons then to me.
"they do not understand us, we are speaking in the animal tongue that they can only understand if they make a deal with an animal. So I shall concede."
It bowed to me earning whispers from the bushes.
"I am Aponi, the guardian of this forest and her stranger oddities. You, starling, hold a close spirit to mine. I've been here for centuries, waiting for one such as myself to guard this forest. I wish to ask such of you. I could sense you from when you first arrived, but it was not the time."
Aponi Rose his head and looked to me as I smiled, bowing my head in respect.
"I'd love to guard this forest, however, I don't have a full grasp of these abilities, as you can see."
I gestured to the trail of mushrooms and flowers behind me, earning a chuckle from the guardian.
"yes, I suspect as much, starling. You are more than what we say and I wishes to help you learn your powers once upon a time."
Cocking my brow I tilted my head to the guardian.
"but?"
"well, your bonded over there helped you before I could."
I blushed red at that, my markings glowing brighter. The two in question took up a defensive stance and blinked at them.
"w-we aren't bonded, Aponi-"
"not yet, young one, not yet."
He mustered a laugh and turn to the forest, the gems on his head chiming like glass as they moved with the wind.
"I must be off, young windego, but we will speak again soon, before the seasons change."
I nodded and bowed to the stag as it bowed back, dissolving into a kaleidoscope of butterfly's that fluttered past me and into the night. I smiled and waved away the butterflies as a few trailed around to flutter around me, causing me to giggle, before following their kaleidoscope. I smiled and walked further down the path, smiling at the sound of rushing feet follow me as the pth opened to my cabin. I stopped with a frown, holding my arm out to the brothers and nodded them to follow me to the brush, focusing on dimming the glow around me. They followed, confused for a few seconds only to see what I was hiding from.
A person at my door, holding a curved knife behind their back as they knocked on my door. Grumbling to themselves, I glanced at the brothers who seemed to be speaking to each other telepathically.
'cause we are'
I jumped at that and stated angrily at bill who was withholding a laugh as will spoke up... In my head- is it speaking at that point? Thought up?
'w-we are going to s-sneak up on th-them. Stay here.'
'are you guys going to float over to them and grab em?'
I thought, seeing if that's how this telepathy thing works. They nodded to me, huh, guessed right. I was about to thing something else before I felt something, as if the ground was warning me someone was behind me. I touched the ground and a thud was heard as the weapon they where holding dropped, their mouth covered by a tree branch as they where held in the branches. Trying to struggle out of it as I glowered at them with my glowing green eyes. I turn to the other two as they nodded, floating to the person as I reached out with my senses, checking for anyone else in the area. Spotting two or three others I used the trees to trap them as well as the brothers subdued the man at the door. I stood up, walking to them and whistling to the trees, they pulled the 4 others forwards and released their mouths as they all started to gasp for air, the first guy I trapped passed out.
"oops, forgot they needed to breath!"
I said, faux innocence as Bill and Will laughed. I turn to the trio and pulled down their hoods, feeling tired after all the magic I'd used today. I groaned in irritation realising who the four in front of me are, they were all known to me because of how I'd met them in weirdmaggedon. They were the ex-prisoners that worked with Gideon to keep mable in her bubble. I turn to the guy who had the knife and was at me door.
"do I even want to know who put you up to this?"
Will pulled down the hood to show ghost-eyes.
"what the fuck are you three? Gideon said nothin' 'bout more magic shit."
"so it was a no to wanting to know."
I grumbled, sighing and rubbing my eyes, glancing to the drive that lead to my house and smirking.
"Bill, do you know where the memory gun is?"
He blinked before nodding and disappearing and reappearing with it.
"well, no need for everyone to remember I have powers, very distress for you mortals. Unfortunately, can kill you or your crotchet group would send alarms. How sad."
I spoke changing the dial to 'will nota, Bill nota and Dipper Pines Powers'. Before I erased their minds I decided to ask.
"so what was Gideon plan exactly? Common sense isn't exactly the boys strong suit."
Getting some disagreement, ghost eyes spoke up.
"we don't know why he wants you, but he wanted us tah get you and take you to him."
I shivered in disgust at the thought of that, especially remembering the look he gave me a week ago.
"alright, time to put this out of your head."
I said, hooking them all with the memory gun and telling the demons with me to drop them somewhere in the town. I opened my door and covered my mouth as I sat on the sofa, thinking. I flinched and reached at my head, pulling off the thorny bramble crown that had stabbed my head. I frowned and put it in the fire place, starting the fire and watching the crown burn as I sat on the sofa. I heard the door shut softly and turnt to see will walking over to me.
"d-do you want c-coffee?"
I hesitated but nodded, the blueberry smiled and started my coffee machine. Sitting by me as we waited.
"so, where's Billy boy?"
Snorting in surprise will looked at me.
"b-billy boy?-"
"that or he appears beside me like a cat."
Will laughed and smiled at me, amused.
"h-he said s-something about 'k-kicking that s-stars ass."
I laughed at that, relaxing a bit and sighing to catch my breath with a smile. I relaxed a bit, jumping slightly at the beep from the coffee machine, will got up and grabbed the cups, adding some milk and extra sugar to his cup before handing me mine. I smiled and sipped the drink, leaning on him slightly, feeling him flinch slight at the contact. I looked at him through the side of my eye to see his blushing as he drank his coffee, I smiled into my own coffee and thought on how endearing it was. I grabbed a blanket and pulled it over us and placed down my coffee on the table in front of us. I leaned back into will, nuzzling into his side and smiling at the comforting buzz of energy that fizzled around him, Bill and kill. I assume its something to do with being 'creatures of pure energy' as Bill put it long ago, or their power literally radiating off them. I yawned and shuffled as close as I could to will before jumping at the click that sounded from the front door as Bill walked in. Rubbing my eyes I blinked bleary-eyed at the man in yellow who looked wholly disgruntled as his eye flew a faint orange in his frustration.
"couldn't find that little star f-"
He pause as he looked at us, will sipped his coffee again before shuffling over to the arm of the sofa. I grumbled, wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling myself to him again before relaxing. Curling my legs up so Bill could sit down, he did and looked over to will.
"so~ do I get a hug too, pinetree?"
I grumbled and nuzzled into the blushing blueberry who finished his coffee. I made a blind grasp for my coffee only to give up and make it float over to me, I took it from the air and sipped it for about three seconds before doing a spit take in realisation.
Bill laughed as I wiped my mouth and glared silently at him.
"t-that was soooo funny!HAHA!"
"keep laughing and I'll castrate you."
He paled and raised his hands as will snickered, I sipped my cup again.
"I'll add that to the list later."
I grumbled as I finished my coffee, putting it on the side. I stood up and stumbled to my cabinet with another yawn, grabbing a tea towel to clean up. As I stumbled back over I heard a snap and realised the coffee was gone I groaned at my stupidity and threw the towel in the air.
"I'm to tiered for this shit."
I grouched, spinning on my heel from the laughing pair, picking the towel up and throwing it into the wash basket even if it hadn't been used. I nearly tripped twice just walking to the stairs.
"d-do you need h-help up the s-stairs?"
Will asked, instead of answering I just flopped onto the fluffy rug in front of the stairs. I heard Bill laugh again and will snickered.
"smush 'm' 'errd."
I heard feet walk to me and will picked me up, I just cuddled into his chest and was left half awake. Bill followed us as will took us to my room, placing me on my rooms sofa as I yawned, pouting at the fact my drawer where the other side of the room. I grumbled and pulled off my jumper and polo, throwing them to the hamper before trudging over to my drawers, digging through it to find one of the hoodies I normally sleep it. I heard someone clear their throat and turn to the pair who where still stood their, heads turn but stealing glances at my bear back and chest. I smirked and grabbed my over sized hoodie walking over with my hips swaying.
"you guys gonna stay the night? I'm sorry, the second guest rooms being made into a study..."
I looked to the side in fake thought, making my eyes glow green as I smiled innocently.
"why don't you share the bed with me?~"
I internally smirked, loving how cute their reactions were. I sure as hell didn't completely trust them, mainly Bill, but I was getting better with it, my sudden liking to them helping a ton. Will shook his head, catching himself first.
"a-are you s-sure? W-we could s-sleep down stairs-"
"oh but I'd hate for you to get cold tonight, with the fire out its truly freezing down there with the large window."
I spoke, my stars glowing in the night light and lighting up their faces. Bill was still staring at my chest, looking over all the constellations, fascination over his face now more than a blush. He look like a kid learning about their favourite topic as he looked over the constellations.
"you okay with that, banana?"
That took him out of him as he flushed.
"banana?!"
"it made you stop staring, princey, eyes up here~"
I said, pulling my hoodie over my head and smiling as I drowned in the size and comfort. I pulled off my skinny jeans and shoes, leaving the shoes by the door and tossing the jeans to the hamper and flopped into the middle of my king sized bed. I threw myself under the covers with a smile as the mattress swallowed me in comfort, the fire just being me crackled to life as I smiled looking to the brothers who where bright red again. I would have last had my exhaustion not washed over me like a tsunami, I lifted the blanket with a nod as they regained their senses and walked over, clicking their fingers to change into pj's. Will in a fluffy set of blue pj's and Bill in plad button up, will crawled in behind me and Bill layed in front of me. I yawned and stretched shuffling around to get comfortable, I wrapped my arms around bills torso in the end, finding myself happily surprised by how warm he was and nuzzling my face in his chest. I felt him tense slightly at this before relaxing and putting and arm over my shoulders and the other under his head. I felt with shuffle closer and wrap his arms around my waist as I yawned a final time before falling asleep. Goodluck with the heart attack in the morning future mex I'm to tired to acknowledge any consequences.

I've made a severe and continuous laps in my judgment.
I thought to myself, waking up to the yellow of bills pj's and the soft breaths on my neck from will. I turn reder that a strawberry, shuffling around to try and escape only to have the arms around me clamp down as I huff.
'gods these two are irritatingly strong.'
I thought and sighed, getting comfortable again and taking the pair sleeping faces. Bill had a serious look, near pouting, as he slept letting slow deep breaths out of his nose as his chest rose and fell. Will looked entirely at peace, which was different from his classic paranoid look he'd had since we'd met, soft breaths leaving his mouth onto my cheek. They both let off low hums of energy, relaxing me down to my bones making me practically purr at the feel. I noticed the orange streaks through the sky as they hit the was across from me, my stars faded into obscurity. Letting my eyes close for a few moments and felt Bill shuffle in my arms, noticing he was trying to shuffle out my arms, I decided to give him his own medicine and held him tighter. I felt him tense before relaxing, putting a hand in my hair.
"what are you doing to me, pinetree."
I didn't reply, quite confused by what he meant but also feeling the question was rhetorical. But I didn't need to answer as will did for me.
"I-I think u-you know, Bill... W-we both d-do."
I felt a sigh leave the older as I was dragged closer to will, grumbling as Bill left my arms. Deciding to make it seem like I just woke up, putting the palms of my hands in my eyes to rub them and yawned. Blinking and looking up at bill who was staring down at me with a smile.
"morning, starlight, how was your sleep?"
I stretched, popping my bones.
"I need to invite you guys over more often, that was the best sleep I've had in years."
I said truthfully, rubbing my eyes a bit more before looking up at him and turning in wills arms.
"g-good morning, H-D-Dipper."
He stopped himself and stumbled over my name.
"you wanna keep hugging me or go get breakfast?"
I said as soft as I could, not wanting to startle anyone this early. He blushed and pulled me closer, non-verbally answering. I smiled and looked at Bill who shrugged and got up, walking out the door to probably make breakfast or coffee. I smiled, slightly confused with myself. This felt so... Natural and just- right. I shook it off and nuzzled into the bubblegum boy, putting my head under his as I smiled. I felt his hand thread its way through my hair, brushing through it in a comforting Manor.
"you trying to send me to sleep again?" I paused to yawn. "it's working if ye are..."
He chuckled and continued, kissing my forehead. I blushed and smiled, cooing at the faint blush over his cheeks as he smiled.
"w-we should g-get up-"
"no need, breakfast in bed!"
Bill said, walking over with three trays, each having [surprisingly unburnt] toast, eggs and bacon, a coffee cup to the side.
"thanks, Billy bones."
I said as I sat up and the tray was placed in my lap. Bill glared half-heartedly as will hummed a laugh.
"I can take away the coffee-"
"not my life line, nooooooo~"
I said, holding the cup in my hands as I took a long sip as will laughed. It was all in all a great morning, we talked and had fun till Leo came home, them we headed to the arcade and hang around there the whole morning with killian joining us in the afternoon.
