the call went through. (gravity falls AU)

arson! :D

Warning: this chapter contains the F slur just so you know

[FORDS POV]

I apologized to fids, i felt terrible for being so easily manipulated by bill. Fids asked why the hell i told stanley that, and i explained.  Suddenly we had a new problem on our hands:

F: "how..are we gonna get rid of the portal..?"

Stanley and fiddleford looked at eachother smirking, oh no, what were they planning. They both looked back at me, stanley pulling out a lighter. My eyes widened

F: "alright, first of all, we are in the middle of a forest, second of all, i dont want to go to prison for arson."

S: "cant go to prison for burning your own property!"

FD: "and ya think i dont know how ta' control a fire?"

Ford sighed

F: "fine."

F: "wait- where will i even live??"

FD: "ive got a car, dont i?"

S: "i thought you had a house"

FD: "uh, well, i had to go back there to get my car anyways cause i was gettin' evicted, hah."

S: "oh, welp, car it is!"

[NO ONE'S POV]

stanley tossed the lighter onto the mystery shack as ford looked at him with a mix of shock and disappointment on his face. they drove away from the fire, ford sitting in the back writing in his journal, stanley sitting in the passenger seat, fiddleford driving, and stanley telling stories of all the "badass fights" hes been in.

F & FD: "oh my god.."

S: "yeah and then the guy ripped a chunk of my hair out before i pushed him to the ground, i was alright."

FD: "ya must've been real tough to stand up to that guy like that. just sayin'."

stanley lightly blushed, looking away slightly before chuckiling

S: "ha, thanks."

[STANLEY'S POV]

i felt my face heat up slightly, for some reason my stomach slightly hurt. the way fiddleford looked at me while saying that it just..wait, this is a guy. get a hold of yourself stanley. anyways, me and fiddleford talked, ford was mostly silent writing in his journal, i always expected that from him, sixer was never the talker when it wasn't absolutely needed, or about anything he's interested in. but when it is, he-

F: "did you say something about a creature?"

there it is. the smartass looked up from his journal expecting an answer.

FD: "yes, actually! heard theres been some weird activity goin' on down by a forest, wanna go there?"

F: "alright!"

we took a turn off to wherever poindexter wanted to go, while me and fiddleford talked, ford occasionally stepped in to correct my grammar, ugh. i felt the car stop as we all headed out, i saw fiddlefork or whatever his name is glance at me slightly, over and over. i looked over at him with a confused expression on my face as he immediately looked at the floor, this guy was weird, endearing, but also weird. Stanford wandered off in the forest as usual, im not sure how this guy didn't get lost and die without anyone around him. Me and fidds...fidds, hah. Anyways, me and fidds were left alone to talk. I didn't mind, i'd rather talk to him then stanford.

S: "how do you think stanford didn't die out here?"

FD: "i was usually there ta' keep an eye on him and do my own research, but there was..also another guy as well."

S: "who?"

FD: "oh uh, 'his muse', he called it."

S: "wait that guys real?? I thought ford was just a schizo."

Fidds laughed, it kinda made my stomach feel all weird and dizzy, if stomachs can even get dizzy.

FD: "yeah, i had to find out the hard way when one night i woke up ta' stanferd jammin' forks in his arm one by one and laughin'."

S: "wow. How often did you have to deal with that??"

FD: "about..once every few nights, nothin' too often. He obviously didn't like the idea of me n' stanferd, considerin' we dated in college."

S: "wait- you two- your..stanfords-"

FD: "oh uh- yep..im bisexual, stanferds demiaroace and bi."

S: "have no idea what stanfords thing means but alright."

FD: "he just doesn't like people who he isn't close with."

S: "oh, that actually makes sense. I kinda see why he said his crush is the division symbol when i asked him now."

Fidds started laughing again, i smiled at him and laughed a bit too.

FD: "he said that!?"

S: "yep, back in fourth grade the topics of crushes came up and he proudly announced 'i like the division symbol! So thats my crush!'. All the kids looked at him like he had lost his mind so to cheer him up i said i liked the addition symbol."

FD: "that was sweet of ya!"

Ugh, my stomach is doing that thing again. I couldn't see myself, but i was sure my face was turning pink. I didn't know what to do so i just stared at the ground. Suddenly i felt a light tap on my arm

FD: "ya' alright there, stanley?"

S: "uh- yep!"

FD: "looks like someones got ya thinkin' about them!"

S: "oh- i..uh...yeah.."

FD: "ya' know who?"

S: "oh, uh, i..nah."

FD: "welp, im gonna look fer' stanferd! Dont wanna steal ya away from yer' someone."

Fidds walked off. I stood there before my eyes immediately widened, my face going red. Did this dude just flirt with me!?

S: "wait- WHAT!?"

Before i could even finish my sentence fiddleford was gone. I sat down next to the car, the leaves crunching under my weight. Why did i actually hope that he was flirting with me...god, if dad was here he'd beat my ass, he always said if we ended up faggots, he would kick us out. And here i am, crushing over some skinny, short..cute- weird guy. I Hoped this would disappear but it didn't. Fiddleford soon returned with stanford, who looked like he just got crushed with a boulder and rolled down old concrete. I immediately got up and slightly waved to fiddleford. He looked at me and waved back, giving me a big smile. God i want to kiss this gu- wait what? We realized the sun was going down so we all decided to sleep in the trunk of fiddlefords truck. He layed down a blanket there. I was in the middle, ford was to my left, and fiddleford was to my right. I closed my eyes and slowly fell asleep.
