My Reality (Stanley Pines x OC)

CHAPTER 11

The next day stayed the same, y/n asked what happened last night but I just told her nothing happened, she gave me a look saying I was lying but she didn't pry anymore thinking it was just a lovers quarrel or something. Wendy was talking to us regarding about what happen to the rundown convenient store filling me with everything since that night I was too lost in my mind she told me I looked high and we all just laughed at it

Stan watched from a distance as she talked to Wendy and the others, his eyes lingering on her.

He could sense her distraction, her mind clearly preoccupied with something, and he had a feeling it was because of him.

As the conversation continued, Stan's mind began to spin with thoughts. He tried to focus on work, on anything other than Krystal, but he couldn't shake off the guilt and regret that gnawed at him.

"Grunkle stan" Dipper and mabel walked in looking at him"can we go to the diner?" Mabel asked"Were hungry, soooooo hungry" twins heads making their tummies touch one another and laugh

Stan rolled his eyes fondly at the duo's antics, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Yeah, yeah, alright, you little terrors," he said gruffly, standing up from his chair.

"But we're not stayin' too long, ya hear? I got paperwork to do."

The twins said yeah! then mabel saw me "Hey krystal! it's your break right? come on come with us?? pretty pleaseee I want to have some girl with me and not just with dipper and grunkle stan all the timeee" mabel said pleading at the counter looking at me

"uhh I don't know kid" I said awkwardly

Stan's eyes flickered between Krystal and Mabel, listening to her pleading. He knew it was her break, and part of him wanted her to refuse, to stay away from him to keep up his front.

But a deeper part of him, a part he barely acknowledged, wanted her to come with them, to spend more time with him despite the tension between them.

He kept his expression neutral, trying to hide his inner conflict while waiting for her response.

I sigh in defeated tone

"Alright""Yes! look out dudes girl power!!" mabel said as she tugged me along outside and I just let out a small laugh

While walking towards the Diner Mabel dipper and I talk about lots of things Stan was chiming in but whenever he was asking me a question I found a lot of ways to not answer him or even talk to him

Stan noticed her dodging and avoiding his questions, his irritation growing with each attempt he made to talk to her. He clenched his fists subtly, his eyes narrowing in annoyance.

As Mabel and Dipper chatted away, Stan fell back slightly, walking alongside Krystal, his voice low and frustrated.

"What's with the cold shoulder, Doll?" he muttered, his tone edged with irritation. "You avoiding me now?"

"Oh look were here!" i said to the kids jogging towards them they just giggled at me and we all head inside

He took a deep breath and followed, the smell of diner grease and coffee enveloping him. He took a seat at the booth next to me, doing his best to act nonchalant.

i was still avoiding Stan at all cost but then not a moment later Lazy Susan come to our table

"Lazy susan there's my ray of sunshine where were you yesterday?" Stan asked "I got hit by a bus" Lazy Susan said happily then Stan just laugh at her, the twins and I looked at each other confusedly and looked back at them
