Roommates (Gravity Falls College AU)

Chapter 9:

(( You are all really such sweethearts and I really just want to thank you all for all of the support you've given me! You're all very special and will always hold a place in my heart. Truly, never have I met anyone as nice and supportive as all of you. Thank you. Now, I know I said the story was going to end at Chapter 10, but an idea filled my head for this chapter I decided to end it after this chapter.)

Dipper's POV.

We stayed like that for a while, eyes closed. The sound of nothing but soft breathing in the silent room. It seemed as though the sunlight were shining around us, telling us that everything would be perfect. Everything would be okay. We held onto each other, as though we were to lose each other, exchanging sweet yet small "I love you"s towards each other. I slowly pulled away from the embrace, looking down at the barely shorter male. I smiled lightly and sighed. "Promise me you'll never leave.." He chuckled lightly, resting his head between the crook of my shoulder and neck. "I promise. But, do you?" He paused and glanced up at me. I just rested my hand on his cheek, stroking it gently. "I promise." I pulled him close, placing a gentle yet small kiss on his lips before pulling away. "I love you, Bill."
"I love you, too Pinetree."
I sighed lightly as we continued on with our day, followed by many other days of classes. Each class seemed to get worse than the other. Reason? The people in my classes. They were all against me. I never spoke to Bill about it, though. Didn't want him to worry. Yet, it seemed he'd already found out about it, considering the fact that if anyone who would hurt me saw me near him, they would freak out and leave. He would just kiss my forehead and tell me that I would be okay. I was happy that I met him.
I was happy.
Was?
No.
I am happy.
There are times when we fight, times when we just cuddle after a long day of tests. It was nearly a stress free relationship. The only thing stopping that was, well.. The arguments. Yet, they were small, brief, and usually ended in a hug or a kiss. I loved him, he loved me, and we were happy like that. Days passed. Days became months. Months became years, and it was close to our time of graduation. Just five or six more months before we were out of here. 

     I was laying at the foot of my bed, reading a book while Bill took his classes. I was already finished with mine- I started in the mornings while he started later in the days.
     I yawned lightly, eyes glazing over each word as though I were a judge, trying to figure out who the real verdict was and if the victim's story was true. It was about a kidnapping, called Stolen Children. It's actually pretty good. And by that, I mean really good. Then again, I enjoy and love these kinds of books. I'd brought many books from home not long ago with the permission of a supervisor. Laying the book over my face, I yawned once more, the smell of pickles hitting my nose. Ah, yes, I wasn't sure why, but books most definitely smelled liked pickles. Right? I mean seriously. It's quite odd. Chuckling lightly at my thought, I just shook my head. "Who cares what books smell like." I mumbled just as the door opened to reveal a curious blonde. "Pinetree, you aren't smelling books again are you?" He rose an eyebrow, that annoying yet lovable grin plastered onto his face. I rolled my eyes sitting up and closing the book, setting it next to me. "No, I was thinking. And besides I've never smelled a book before near you, dorko!" I crossed my legs, huffing lightly, which seemed more like a pout, before flicking imaginary air at him. He chuckled, sitting next to me and placing a gently, feather like kiss onto my cheek. "Whatever you say, Pinetree." He hummed lightly, almost sounding like a purr. I just smiled a little and kissed his forehead. "Whatever, Bill." 

     I nuzzled into his side, closing my eyes and admiring the darkness staring back at me. It was truly beautiful. Just to sit back and watch the darkness, even if it were just an illusion. I didn't care anymore. For I had no worries, and I was glad that I had no worries. I had Mabel, Bill, Will, Pacifica.. All of my friends were here. Even if Wendy weren't.
