*dream realm*

Bill arrived less than a second later, eyes landing on her on the bed, knitting.

Insignificant human, he forced himself to think.

She looked up and I could tell her face lit up as she saw me.

"You are back," she smiled.

Isn't she afraid of me? Not when  I've harmed her? Why is she being so nice to me?

"i-I am sorry for yesterda-"Bill blurted out, stopping himself midway.

No, why am I apologising to her? I didn't do wrong, she deserves it!

Mabel smiled back.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose, it isn't the Bill I know."

"No, Shooting Star..." he could feel his face getting fuzzy now, why is she suddenly so nice? And adorable? And...

He bit his lip.

She looked up.

"Well, anyway, you have already apologised. Come, sit here, I'm almost done with this give me a moment." She looked back down on her work casually.

How can you take this so lightly? I need you to hate me, chase me away and now you are asking me to sit next to you? How am I going to detest you then? How am I going to stop my feelings? How am I going to.. stop liking you? Shooting Star, why are you so hard to get away from?

His mind was in a whirl now and without thinking, he walked over and sat next to her. Maybe it was because he unconsciously wanted to be with her.

She could tell he was deep in thought, he looked dazed. Mabel decided to just let him be for a moment, her scarf for him was just about to be ready.

Mabel had decided to forgive him, and let things be. She would be gone from him before the end of the week anyway, what would be the point of leaving grudges?

He looked over at her, knitting with such concentration. She is so kind and pretty, he  wanted her. But how? It was impossible. Does she even want him?

He decided to stop thinking and took the quiet moment to feel how comfortable it was like to be seated next to her, shoulders touching, hearing the occasional sounds from her knitting. His heart felt contented.

"Here, it is done," she broke the silence with a whisper and Bill looked up from his daze. He realised that he was leaning towards her. He cleared his throat and awkwardly sat upright, a tinge of pink of his cheeks.

"What is that? Is this for me?" he was kind of confused as Mabel handed it over to him.

She nodded. "This is a scarf, it is supposed to keep you warm when you are cold,"

She took the scarf gently from his hands, fingers brushing against each other. She felt the familiar jolt of electricity and ignored that. Gingerly, she wrapped the scarf around Bill's neck, and she was glad that he did not protest. She felt her face getting warm as his gaze at her softened.

"Why did you make this for me?" his voice came out in barely a whisper. Mabel looked at him. "Why not? I care for you, with this you wouldn't get cold and well, this can be something to remember me by..." she left the sentence hanging as her cheeks grew hotter. His gaze on her didn't leave.

"I'm sorry, if you don't like it I will take it back-" she wanted to remove the scarf, but was stopped halfway by his hands clasping over hers. The touch of his fingers felt so warm, she felt like melting.

"No, don't. I love it a lot, th- thank you," he muttered, avoiding all eye contact, clearly embarrassed.

"Why do you care so much about me? I've caused you so much harm," he looked down.

"Because, I know you are something more, you aren't like that, I know, as I've said, that wasn't you. I trust that you are not something like that," she continued, "Anyway Dipper has always said to forgive and forget, so I will just forgive you."

Their hands were still together and he was looking at her with disbelief. Mabel was embarrassed. She didn't know what had gotten over him, he was just staring at her with a level gaze, not looking away. She couldn't meet his gaze, felt really awkward, but she really liked the fact that he hadn't let go of her hands.

"Why are you so nice? Why?" he said again.

She didn't know what to say  and just looked at her blanket, keeping quiet. Then, she felt something brush against her forehead. She looked up, and was momentarily shocked by the close distance they were away from each other.

Bill had unconsciously leant in closer to her and when she looked up, his heart skipped a beat. She looked so beautiful and innocent with those big eyes, just like those cute stuffed flush toys.

He was so close now, she couldn't help but hold her breath, staring at his hot face, his striking features.

He could see her long eyelashes now...

And when their lips met, it was a whole new experience for Mabel. The touch of his soft lips, taste on his tongue, the feel of his hands behind her back, pulling her closer to him. She did the same, resting her arms on his back, bridging the distance between each other.

He let himself engulf in the overwhelming feelings that he so craved for. He could taste the sweet scent of her, and he just wanted to get lost in this moment forever.

Then, he stopped.

No.

He tore himself away from her and his eyes widened.

Mabel sat there, suddenly feeling hurt and embarrassed with herself. Why did he do that? Why did she return his kiss? Is he just, just playing with her?

She bit her lip, as Bill met her gaze.

"NO, no this can't be happening!" his gaze on her intensified, "Shooting Star, Mabel Pines, I have, I have, I have fallen for you!"

That was his first time calling her by her real name. She looked up, confused and shocked and happy and hopeful all at once.

"Mabel Pines, I've fallen for you."  He said again, confirming her doubts. He looked visibly embarrassed.

That was it. He succumbed to his feelings.

She felt breathless as she gazed up at him. She stood up, her eyes and mouth suddenly feeling dry, walked over to him, and wrapped her arms around him, inhaling his sweet scent of spice. She rested her head against his chest, feeling so relieved.

To her delight, he didn't back away or anything, but wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head onto hers.

"Me too," she replied.
