You Still Love Him

Chapter 5

"Pinetree." Bill poked Dippers cheeks as he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. "What?" he continued staring at the ceiling with an emotionless look. "I'm bored. So is Will! He is currently talking to Mabel, whom is teaching him to play that game with all the screaming and headbanging."

Dipper sighed loudly and turned his head towards Bill. "Why don't you try getting Mabel to teach you how to play it then? Then you would be able to play with your brother." the brunette pointed out. "Before you go down there, you should probably change into something less... Formal." he rolled over to face the wall instead of Bill, but he continued to to stare at him. "Pinetree."
"Pine shrub."
"Pine stick."
"Pine dI-"
"Bill s-"
"PERCY JACKSON!"
"How did you get that from Pinetree?"
"Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to."

"Dipper! This newbie beat me!" Mabel complained as she drug the blonde headed demon into the male twins room. The brunette sat up on his bed to look at the two. "You beat the goddess of guitar hero at her own game. Good job." I smiled at him, and he blushed, rubbing his neck. "T-thank you, master." he mumbled out with a sweet smile.

Will's smile slowly melted away as his eyes dilated with fear, and Dipper's with confusion and shock. The male twin went to say something, but Bill had already put his arm around the blonde's shoulders and steered him out of the room. "Al-alright!" the chaos god stuttered. "Show me how to play that game you two were playing!" Bill said enthusiastically. Mabel looked at her twin questionably as if to say "what was that about?"; he shrugged in response. Being the worried female she is, Mabel followed the two to find out what had just happened. And since Dipper felt responsible for them, he decided to go downstairs and watch them to make sure that they stay out of trouble.

Dipper stopped outside his room when he seen Bill sitting on the rail of the stairs and sliding downwards with a thud after getting out of the boys sight, earning laughs from the audience waiting at the bottom. God he is definitely a dare devil. It's attractive. Is that the word? Or would it be described as cool? Or- both. Definitely both. Wait. Did I just call Bill attractive? Nah. I called his actions attractive. And cool. What am I saying? Thinking? He didn't realize he was smiling until he snapped out of his thoughts by another thud coming from the bottom of the stairs.

Dipper mentally slapped himself before walking over to the stairs with his usual poker-face. "Bill. What are you doing?" he asked the demon as he was positioning himself on the rail. "Having fun! You should try it sometime." he leaned backwards and ended up falling off onto the floor. "I'm okay!"

"Wait. Did you say Bill?? Like. The Bill." Mabel screeched to the top of her lungs. Dipper blinked and slowly started walking backwards towards his room. "Yes." he turned around and ran to his and Mabel's old room in order to make it onto the roof. "D-Dipper wait up!" Bill stumbled into the room, clearly hurt from falling off of the second story floor. He would have, in fact, not stopped what he was doing if it weren't for a sudden realization.

Dipper stared at him blankly before his lips curled into a smirk. "You called me by my real name." he pointed out to the blue haired demon. "W-what? No I d-didn't!" Bill tried assuring him as he started to lean against the door frame. "Yes you did!" the brunette teased. "Okay. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't." he mumbled, looking at anything but the mystery twin. "Why is it such a big deal on whether or not you call me by my real name?" Dipper tilted his head and crossed his arms. "That's a question I would ask you, Pinetree. But annoying you means the world to me. Hey! That rhymes!" he pointed out. "Only a dork like you would point that out." the brunette smirked once more.

It went silent for what seemed like forever before Bill finally spoke up, only before Dipper was about to say something. "You should tell her before it's too late." he suggested to the shorter male. "But what if-"
"Stop with the 'what if she doesn't want to be here' and 'what if she feels obligated to staying with me'. You're worrying way too much about this topic instead of what actually matters: you. Have you looked at yourself lately?!" he started walking over to Dipper after he threw his hands into the air. Once again, he tried saying something, but couldn't. "You have bags under your eyes, you have little strands of hair that are turning grey, your skin looks really pale and you always look like your on the verge of falling asleep."

(I feel so attacked rn. It's 12:38 AM and I was revising it before going onto,, comment if you read this,, chapter 10 only to find half of this chapter erased oh mY GOD-)

Dipper frowned at the demons statements. "Do you think you look any better?" he lifted an eyebrow and crossed his arms. Bill went to say something, but the brunette cut him off. "When's the last time you looked at yourself? You just named off all the aspects of how you look right now."

Bill huffed, accepting defeat. "Let's go somewhere where we're not accompanied by any eavesdroppers," Dipper suggested, looking at the door to the attic, finding two heads staring into the room. After hearing the brunette, they giggled and ran off. "They are such children..." Dipper pinched the bridge of her nose. "But you love them." the demon said with a sly smile. "Yeah." he gave a smile in return.
"I do love them."
