My unlikely angel

Intrigue

DIPPERS POV

We arrived at Greasy's Diner and were seated by a very familiar waitress.

"Wendy!" I asked in surprise.

"Woah, Dipper? What's up man?" She asked as she came in for a hug. Bill scowled. She showed us to a booth and we placed our drink orders. Bill and I sat across from each other. He had a mischievous look in his face, but there was also a look of concern in the back ground.   

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Kid, I can read your thoughts, I know you don't like me, but you have to understand that, I love you."

His words pierced my heart like a dagger. It was hard to breathe, my vision was blurry, and my mind clouded over with emotions. I didn't know how to convey the emotions that coursed through me.

"Bill, I never said I didn't like you. it's just that I don't feel like I can trust you."

"Pinetree," he reached across the table and grabbed my hands with his. His yellow eye stared into mine. "I've changed since the last time you saw me. I've come to try and make your life better, not destroy it like the last time. I really do love you, Pinetree."

By the time he finished he looked over and say Wendy standing there looking very awkward.

"Sooo, what can I get you to eat?" She asked breaking the silence.

"One stack of your best pancakes please." Answered Bill.

"Coming up." She replied with a fake smile and walked away mumbling to herself.

"B-bill, I really don't know how to respond after what you just said."

"Just say you love me, or can tolerate me, and I promise I will be with you the entire time you and your family are suffering. I really truly love you."

"I-I love you Bill."

The biggest smile I have ever seen cracked across that face as soon as I said that. Our pancakes came out, fresh, hot, steamy, and fluffy. We both dug into the fluffy stack of golden deliciousness, and smiled dreamily at the other. We both realized at that moment that we were meant for each other and, without each other, we would be nothing.
