Dark Lover(a billdip story)

Tall and Tan

"Dipper!" Mabel yelled, running excitedly toward him. "Guess what, guess what!?"

"What is it, Mabel? We just got back, you should be helping unpack," Dipper said as he watched her dark hair bounce up and down as she ran excitedly towards him. He knew whatever it was, that had her so worked up, wasn't good.

In all the time they've been to Gravity Falls, there was never a moment disaster didn't follow her excitement; no matter the place, or time, she somehow always ended up bringing trouble with it.

"I saw this really super cute boy helping old people across the street, and...I TALKED to him, crazy I know, and he asked me out on a date! He has the most amazing eyes, Dipper," Mabel sighed and stared off dreamily into space.

"You were gone for five minutes," He laughed at his all-grown-up sister.

"It was love at first sight!" Mabel huffed and picked up a shirt laying across a box and threw it at him.

"Well before you go off into space again, take some boxes up to the attic room," He laughed again.

"Fine," She pouted.

Dipper smiled at her and looked back to count the boxes they had left to carry. He figured they would be done before the sun disappeared, that is if his sister would stop slacking off and flirting with the neighbors.

He reached back in the truck to grab a smaller box and reached out to hand it to her, turning to lock eyes with a pair of familiar ones across the grounds.

He dropped the box in his sisters arms. "Errr, Mabel."

"Yes?" She looked at him sheepishly.

Dipper shivered and didn't break eye contact with the boy as he spoke to her. "Either you have a stalker or I do, there's a boy walking up to us and he's kind of freaking me out."

Mabel turned around quickly, nearly tripping over herself as she followed her brothers line of sight. "It's him!" She dropped the box to the ground and walked towards the boy, meeting him half-way.

They finally broke eye contact when the boy smiled down at Mabel, which gave Dipper a moment to size the boy down, trying to remember where he'd seen him before. His darkened skin, blonde-yellow hair, and cat-like yellow eyes weren't common at all; the only people he'd ever known to look like that was his cousin Gumbi's girlfriend...and-

His eyes widened and he took a step back, bumping in to the rear of the truck as he tried to calm down. His sister was entirely blind and mental.

"Dipper?" Mabel asked as she grabbed his shoulder and tried to balance him. His face was pale and he opened and closed his mouth like a fish. "What's wrong? You didn't see a ghost again, did you," She whispered, too low for anyone but them to here.

He straightened up and shook his head. "Not a ghost.." He looked at the man that he despised, the man who possessed him and broke him, he looked so NORMAL.

"Bill?!" Dipper's voice cracked. There was no doubt in his mind about who he was.

Bill smiled and his face twisted in to something dark and mysterious.

Mabel removed her arm from Dipper and looked back at 'Bill' It took her a second longer than it should have but she stepped closer to her brother. "You said your name was, Ben." She whimpered.

"It took him five minutes to notice you, didn't you think that was strange at all Mabel?" Dipper threw his arm across her protectively. She whipped her head to him and her eyes lit dangerously.

"I thought he looked familiar but I figured it was just because he lived down the street and we probably met him THAT summer." She shot back and scowled.

"How can you not recognize the man who terrorized us?"

"Because I was happy that a guy was hitting on me for once!?" She growled and pushed his hand angrily away from her.

"Oh, come on Pine-tree, don't tell me you still hate me, I'm a different man now." Bill pouted and grabbed his heart mockingly as if he was honestly hurt by the boys words.

He glared at Bill and his fists began to shake from anger and fear. "How did you know we were back?"

"The trees talk." He laughed at the twins' confused looks.

"Trees don't talk," Mabel snorted.

"Oh don't they?" Bill mocked. Mabel looked to her brother and frowned.

"Dipper, let's just go inside and leave the boxes be for now, he can't follow us inside, he'll leave." She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him along.

"We are older now, Bill, we will not be manipulated by you any longer." Dipper turned to his sister and nodded.

They both began to stride away when Dipper let out a yelp as his hand was pulled from his sisters.

"DIPPER!" She yelled.

Dipper was face to face with Bill, not able to break eye contact.
