Changed (Gravity FallsXTokyo Ghoul AU)

Ash Tongue

Two medical professionals are standing hunched over the crippled, broken body of a young boy.
"He's going to die if we don't act now!"
"What do you propose we do doctor?"
"The only thing we can do. An organ transplant from the body of the girl. Her organs are intact enough for a full operation."
"But sir! You know we can't act without parental consent!"
"I'll take full responsibility here, as the boy's parents or relatives cannot be contacted at this current point in time. I won't lose another patient."
"Okay sir."

The boy feels a strangely warm sensation coursing through his being.
"What is this feeling? I feel so warm...but something is wrong...it feels as if...just different."

His eyes suddenly shot wide open. Dipper could feel an odd pain in his chest. But this didn't bother his as such. The hunger that instantaneously set in bothered him. It didn't feel like normal longing for food. His stomach demanded that he satisfied this craving. Whatever Dipper needed to quell the sudden hunger pang, it would end the agony.

"Master Pines?"

Dipper looked up. His eyes met with a young black haired nurse who was carrying a tray of hospital food. Nothing special. Just hospital macaroni cheese.
The tween sighed and offered the woman a smile - or the best he could possibly muster in his current state.
"Yes?"
"I've brought you some food. You should probably eat after your operation. You haven't eaten in over 48 hours." She noted calmly setting the tray down on his lap.
Dipper nodded once weakly, peeling back the cellophane on the plastic dish on pasta.
Spooning up a minute mouthful of mac'n'cheese, Dipper placed it on his tongue gingerly. Expecting to taste the smooth, creamy cheese sauce and the subtle, soft pasta caress his mouth, the boy relaxed to enjoy his meal. However, something was wrong. His taste buds reacted violently towards the food, resulting in an explosion of unpleasant, ashy flavours. Instantly the twelve year old gagged and spat out what he'd ingested.
"Are you okay?" The nurse's voice suddenly filled with concern.
"No...it tastes...like ash..." Dipper replied in pure disgust.
