„a Sixer, please."

jealousy

POV Ford
I didn't wanted to go to my brothers Summerween party. I didn't like parties and I honestly don't get the point of celebrating Halloween in the high phase of summer.
But I promised Stan that I will at least attend to it at the beginning before I go back to work in my lab.
But the main reason why I was actually standing here, a bit away from the crowd of people with a drink in my hand, was Bill.

He was still unstable emotionally, and I don't want to know how it is if he is under the toxicity of human alcohol.
I knew how he is under the influence of interdimensional alcohol.
Clingy, sweet tongue, and over all horny, but also kind of impulsive if emotional unstable.

The axolotl showed me once an interdimensional police report of Bill.
It seemed like he had a breakdown in a pub right after our "break up". The report said that he constantly tried to order a "Sixer" and started crying and destroying the place.

A part of me felt somehow bad for him, I didn't know that me leaving him behind would hurt him that much, but a bigger part of me is glad that he felt miserable.
It's like a little bit of karma for all the pain he caused to me.

But back to the main point I'm here to watch him to step in if he loses control.

Right now he is standing with Dipper on the side of the dance floor.
Weird, Bill was usually a party animal who would do anything to be the centre of attention.
God that demon would even strip on a pole of it ment to have all eyes drawn on him.

I shook my head at my own thought with a chuckle.

But I'm still impressed that Dipper stood so near next to Bill. The boys even talked a bit from what I could watch.
Maybe the boy grows to accept Bill here just like Mabel did. I nearly lost my hopes that Dipper could ever deal with Bill.

I watched how they talked with Mabel and Wendy now, making their way to get some drinks.

I know as an adult I should stop the twins from drinking alcohol, but one or two cups won't hurt. Better they do it here where Stan and I can have an eye on them before they do it behind our backs one day.
And their hangover tomorrow would be punishment enough.

The small group made their way back to the dance floor, now everyone entering it.
Even the usual introvert Dipper.
Alcohol really did its magic on him, he is dancing with Wendy with full confidence.

I smiled as I watched the teens. I knew Dipper never really got over his crush with Wendy.
It's good to see he finally made a first move to impress that girl, getting out of his shy shell.

Now their friends also joined them. They all seem to have the fun of the summer. It was a good idea from Stan to host a party. Everyone had fun and seemed like they had no worries.
It felt like the world never nearly ended three years ago. Everything felt so free.

I smiled as I watched everyone being so happy.

Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to take a little break from my work of that power sucking thing. Maybe a break like this here was indeed good for everyone in gravity falls.

But my smile dropped as I saw two girls trying to impress Bill with their moves.

Something in my chest felt like a painful cramp.

The way he looked them up and down and licked his lips with a slight smirk.

I felt my blood boil through my veins and I didn't notice that my hands turned into fists till the plastic cup in my hand squeezed all the left over liquid on my hand.

I threw the now broken plastic cup away and dried my hand on my coat.
But I kept my eyes on Bill and the girls.

I knew that a lot of people are attracted to Bill.
Even when he is in the tourist trap working with his way too big question mark shirt he always had girls around drooling nearly all over him.
But he usually just ignored them.
But this here? He is fully enjoying himself and I hated it.

I know I shouldn't be jealous.
After all I wanted to get rid of these feelings since over 30 years, but I also secretly wanted the former demon to look at me with his greedy and needy gaze.

It was so wrong that I wanted that. But it felt even wronger that those stranger girls get what belongs to me.

I took a deep breath and made my way to the dance floor.
I'm not giving these filthy girls this boy.

Luckily I had two cups of the funny liquor, which took my introvert senses away.
I smoothly made my way to creep up behind Bill and placed my hands on his hips.

The blond boy turned his gaze to me and looked up with shock, the girls exchanged confused looks with raised eyebrows.

„Sorry to destroy your fun, but I need to have a talk with our employee", I said eyeing the girls up and down.
I didn't even waited for them to protest and just pulled Bill with me off of the dance area.
„Such an old weirdo"
„A good looking old weirdo tho", I heard the giggle behind us, but I couldn't careless right now.

I pulled Bill with me to a more quiet corner ignoring his protests of „Sixer let go of me"
„Sixer let me have fun!" „stop pulling me with you like I would be a misbehaving child!"

„Then stop misbehaving like one!", I said sternly cupping him against a wall.
I didn't even realised what I said till I saw a smirk growing on Bills face.
„Oh? Is someone jealous~?", he sang looking up to me with a mocking gaze.

I let go of the boy in front of me, freeing him from the wall.
„What? No!", I said but felt how my cheeks rosed up. I hoped I could blame it on the alcohol.
„Hmm if soo, then about what did you want to talk with your employee?", Bill asked his smirk growing wider, knowing that I didn't have an actual excuse as to why I would need to pull him away from the girls.

„I-i...", I struggled to make something up.
„I just wanted to stop it before you get impulsive. You never drank human alcohol before, especially never in a human vessel that is already too hard for you to get used to. And you know that you're unstoppable at the moment, with your powers reacting to your emotions. I just wanted to stop it before a disaster could happen", I said.
Technically it wasn't a lie. I did worry that something could trigger the ex demon.

I watched as his functional eye slightly sparked with disappointment from my explanation.

Dear god, how can just a naughty creature look so cute.

I thought, trying to resist the urge too just place my lips on his again. The alcohol rushing through my blood makes it harder to ignore my desires.

„You know", Bill started, „if you want to make sure that I won't lose control you could just party with me.", he smirked again.
„Otherwise I have to sneak to the dance floor again, and you know I have my ways to go back there without you stopping me", he said in a light threatening tone.

And he was right, I am not able to stop him.
Bill gets whatever he wants whenever he wants, he always has his ways.
And honestly, a bit partying doesn't sound bad. To forget about all the stress for a moment and at the same time making sure that no one gets near Bill or that he gets overwhelmed.

I sighed with a nod, I mean, I won't be fit for ever so why shouldn't I enjoy a party as long as my body is still able to do so.

A big smile drew on Bills face as I approved his idea with my nod, and now he was the one pulling me back to the dance floor.

This is going to be a long night.

I know the chapter is short, but did you ever try to write with a broken hand? It's horrible!
I even had to write two exams today and it hurts so badly.
