Lost Without You (Pinescone)

Chapter Ten

Wirt's POV:

Dipper looked at me with pure terror.

"Its the beast..." I confirmed his nightmare.

"Oh my gosh... Wirt, we are never going to get out of here! We are going to be stuck here and why is it snowing?!"

"Shhh, no we aren't. The weather gets colder the more hopeless you get."

"How do you know? How are we going to get out? Are we just going to wander around aimlessly-"

"Dipper, its okay."

"How do you know?!"

"I know its hard but if we think like that we aren't going to get out of here. That wouldn't be fair if the beast got you and Mabel didn't, huh?"

He stared at me sullenly. "Good point... For Mabel!" He adjusted his hat and let go of my hand running ahead.

"Wait up! I'm out of shape!" I called panting after him.

"Me," he paused to suck in a thin breath of air, "too."

"Man, we should have eaten breakfast."

"I know..."

"Wirt, why is that cape back?"

"I-I don't know... Here." I put it around his shoulders.

That's when I spotted a red shiny apple within my reach. "An apple for the apple of my eye." I handed it to him winking.

His face turned as red as the apple. "That's too sweet, thanks."

"Wait what about you?" He asked.

"Oh, I don't really..."

"I'll get you one."

"There aren't any in reach."

"That's okay." He said and jumped up trying to reach the fruit.

"Dipper you are going to hurt yourself, remember the flying waffle iron?" I teased.

"Yeah, yeah... I could climb it! No, I can't climb it, I can't even reach the branch..." He was scaling the tree to find a reachable fruit.

"Hop on my back!"

"What?"

"Hop on my back and then maybe you could reach an apple."

"Its really pathetic that I need your help to get something for you."

I grinned. "I love you."

"I love you too. Alright can you kneel down?" Dipper asked.

He hopped on my back and we were almost able to grab a branch. "If only I could stretch just a little... Wait-" He shook the branch causing it to rain.

"Applelanch!!" I yelled ducking.

"We are the clumsiest couple ever." Dipper laughed.

Luckily neither of us got hit by the fruit downpour. "Here you go apple... Um.. Apple pie? I don't know!" I handed Wirt the apple.

"Ready to go home?" I laughed.

"Yeah." He smiled.

He took my hand as we walked into the golden sun glistening on the pure white snow creating a picture perfect image.

"Wirt's waking up!" Greg exclaimed.

"Oh my, Wirt!" A woman's voice cried.

"Are you okay, sport?" A man's voice asked.

"Huh?" I sat up as the room spun. Three figures appeared in front of me. The figures being my mom, my step dad, and Greg.

"Thank God you're awake! You have a concussion." My mother teared up hugging me. "I'm worried about you, Wirt. You seem to be getting hurt lately."

"I'm really clumsy... Where's Dipper?"

"He's in the room next to you." My step dad said.

I jumped up only to be held back by an IV. "Is he awake?!"

"I don't know, I was concerned about my own son." My mom said.

"Can we go check?"

"I guess so." Fred, my step dad, said and then proceeded to get a nurse who put me in a wheelchair.

Oh the humanity, I thought as they wheeled me over. I was in perfect condition to walk, especially to the next room.

"Wirt?" Dipper's tired voice called out.

"Dipper!" I yelled as the nurse who was taking her sweet time, pushed me to him.

I saw him laying propped up. My heart pumped with a strange feeling. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Are you?"

"Yeah."

"So..." Mabel said trying to fill in the silence.

"Mom, Fred, I have something to tell you guys..."

"Yes, sport?" Fred asked. He always tried too hard to connect with me. I always appreciated his efforts but he is outgoing and I am- well, not. Its like trying to force two completely different puzzle pieces together, at least he was nice.

"I-I-I.. We're... Dipper and I are... I-I'm gay. Dipper and I are dating and I love him."

"Oh, okay." My mother said with a hint of surprise.

"That's cool, sport." Fred commented.

"I knew it." A gruff voice said, that turned out to be Grunkle Stan. The man who unknowingly set up my life. But, more on that later.

That summer changed my entire life. Dipper and I did end up riding back to Piedmont together. We made several memories and we lived happily ever after. But, more on that later.
