"Mabel, I don't think his new wife will be very happy about that."
"But Dipper..!!"
"No buts, you've had one too many drinks tonight, you need to go to bed."
"But I love him!!!"
Dipper sighed as he wrenched the bottle from his intoxicated sister. "No Mabel, you are not contacting anyone tonight, especially not mermando."
Mabel sighed as she watched her now 24 year old brother attempt to hide every bottle they owned. Whatever. She was about to get up so that she could try again when something stopped her.
More like someone.
"Star, what's all this about trying to contact a married man?" The blond appeared behind her, playfully growling in the brunette's ear. Mabel turned to him and pouted, stomping her foot like a child. "But I love him!!"
"Oh you dooo, huh?" He teased, sitting beside her. "More than you love me?" He asked with mock sadness. Mabel stared at him before answering.
"Yessss..." She dragged out drunkenly. "Are you suuuurrree?" He also dragged out, mocking her. The smaller girl tucked her legs into her chest. "No!!" She giggled. Bill couldn't help smiling at the girl. "So if you're not sure, can I at least get a hug?" He teasingly replied. Mabel threw herself into the man's arms, allowing him to pull her closer. 'Cute...' Bill thought, kissing the girl's head as she snuggled up against him and dozed off.
Bill carried the sleeping girl up to her room and laid her gently on top of the bed. "Sweet dreams, Shooting Star." He whispered. As he turned to leave, he suddenly felt something heavy pull at his waist. "Please don't leave..." The half awake girl slurred her words, but he still understood. Bill carefully removed the small girl from around himself and laid down beside her, feeling her warmth wrap around him as he held her. "I love you." She whispered against the blond's chest. He instinctively pulled her closer.
"And I love you."
