(A/N todays prompt is the soulmate AU. A count down on your wrist counts the time to when you'll meet your soulmate! Enjoy!)

Dipper nervously looked down at his arm 10 minutes left. He never feared the count down until today, in fact, he never believed in this whole soulmate thing in the first place. He looks up from his wrist when Grunkle Stan calls him for work. With a sigh, he goes back to working at the register.
           5 minutes, the anticipation was killing him. Biting his lip nervously he rung up a customer with shaking hands and a fake smile, "have a nice day sir." He muttered, letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding when the man left. "Bro bro! Don't be so nervous I'm sure they'll be perfect!" His sister placed a hand on his shoulder and he gave her a small smile "thats easy for you to say. You've already found yours." It was true, Mabel met Pacifica months ago, and they've been happy ever since. Dipper couldn't help but worry again, 5 minutes 20 seconds. "What if they're disappointed with me?"
"Dipper relax, no one could ever be disappointed in you."
1 minute and 50 seconds, he couldn't do this he was freaking out. He stocked the shelves with shaking hands, and walked with cautious steps. He was scared and nervous and his fear was eating at him constantly. 10 seconds, oh god....
5 seconds, this was it. Shaking hands held the counter and handed out change

Dipper closed his eyes and awaited his fate.... Nothing happened, maybe it wasn't meant to be. The ring of the bell on the front door brought him back to reality, another customer walked in. Dipper opened his eyes and lifted his head. Another nervous figure looked at him with wide eyes. He was blonde, lean, and tall and he was everything Dipper hoped for. "A-are you.... U-umm...." He swallowed his words as the boy walked forward. "The names Bill Cipher... And in kinda hoping you're my soulmate." He held out his wrist with a smile, the clock was left at zero. Dipper looked down at his and saw the same, he stared back up at golden eyes with a smile.
"I-im Dipper.... Sorry if im not what you hoped..."
"Oh kid, you're everything i dreamed of."
