You Still Love Him

Chapter 3

"My grunkles are going to kill me!" Dipper mumbled to himself. Bill pursed his lips and looked over at the brunette. "Correction: your grunkles are going to kill me." he laughed, hoping that Dipper would laugh too, but he continued to stare in silence at the ground. "And if you annoy me, I'm going to kill you," he said seriously. "I'd like to see you try," the blue haired demon retorted. "With your little noodle arms," he mumbled to himself, hoping the boy beside him heard. He did, but pretended not to.

Once they got to the shack, Dipper was surprised that the demons made it past the forcefield. Bill noticed his surprise, though he was hoping the human didn't notice, and frowned. "Now if we can get in without-" he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from behind the shack. "Go!" he whisper yelled as he opened the door for the blue haired demon. "Hey!" Bill hissed as he was shoved inside and up the stairs. Dipper ran back to the door to shut it, but his sister ran in and hugged him tightly.

"Where have you been?!" his twin screeched with worry as Dipper tried prying her off of him. "Walking," he said truthfully, leaving out the part with the evil doubles and the two demons. "For three hours?! We called you on your cell!" she scolded, backing away from him and crossing her arms. "I can't get service in the woods," he told her, not knowing the actual reason for not getting a call. Her expression softened and she sighed. "How long did you end up watching the anime-"

"They love it!" she yelled happily and started bouncing up and down, the light returned to her eyes. Mabels back to her usual self. Dipper smiled at his sisters joyfulness and went into the living room for his history book. "You're going upstairs? You just got back!" Mabel pouted. "Yyyeah but I need to go clean my room," he lied. "I'll be down for dinner though!"

Dipper trotted up the stairs and went to his room, which had a sign over the door specifically saying it was his, and was no longer shared with Mabel. They both felt like it was right for them to share a room with each other, and they did for a while. But with Dipper up all night studying for school and the journals, it was impossible for Mabel to get sleep. And on nights Mabel was up late talking on her phone or playing her keyboard, Dipper couldn't sleep. They even had an argument about how to decorate the room, so they both got their own rooms.

He walked into his room, made sure nobody was outside, and shut the door, locking it behind him. Dipper did a 180° turn to see Will lying on his bed, and a concerned Bill watching over him. "So.. Will took the shot for you?" Dipper tilted his head with one of his eye brows raised. "Yeah.. He took the shot for me and you," Bill shook his head in disapproval of his brothers actions. "What's it like to have a brother?" Dipper kneeled beside Bill, patting the dream demon on the back. "He will be fine." he assured the demon. "I sure hope so."

Dipper started to leave the room, but he heard Bill say something under his breath. "What was that?" he turned around to face the demon. "I said thank you," he growled. "Oh," the brunette's eyes widened and his face heated up. He did not expect Bill to say thank you, but he also didn't know why he was thanking him. As much as the boy wanted to ask, he feared he would get harmed. "You're welcome," he mumbled with his head down. Dipper walked out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.

"Oooh! Who's the hot dudes in your room," Mabel wiggled her eyebrows behind Dipper, who mentally cursed himself before turning around to face her. "If you keep your mouth shut about this I'll play guitar hero with you."
"But you already-"
"I will let you choose the songs."
"Deal!" she smiled evily and grabbed her brothers hand, dragging him down the stairs and into the living room.

After what seemed like forever of bribing, their grunkles finally stopped watching the anime, only if Dipper explained where he has been the past three hours. He might have looked calm on the outside, but he was going to have to tell his family about the twins and the demons currently in his bedroom if he didn't want to get in more trouble than he was already going to be in.
