You Still Love Him

Chapter 9

          Dipper panted as his so called noodle legs brought him as far away from the dream demon as they possibly could, occasionally stumbling over a tree root, a rock, or simply nothing. Though it made it hard for the teen to breathe, he continued to laugh as Bill yelled insults at him as he went on a wild goose chase to catch the brunette. "You rude meat sack from the darkest pits of the underworld! I will get you for that!" he yelled with his hand over his bleeding nose.

           Bill started slowing down way before the Pines twin did, and as he did, he started gasping for air, only for it to burn his lungs. Soon enough, Dipper finally skidded to a stop due to the calm, yet flowing waters in front of him.

            Right before he was tackled into the water. Dipper turned around after hearing the quick sounds of leaves crunching, he saw a quick flash of blue before being tackled into the cool water. The brunette gasped from he lack of air due to running, being tackled, and water all together. The water was shallow, for it was only a small stream. Dipper looked over to see the dream demon, lying on his side while facing the brunette, oblivious as to how this happened.

         The two made eye contact for a few brief seconds, before Dipper started laughing rather uncontrollably, clutching is stomach. Bill even let out a chuckle, which turned into giggling, then lastly turning into joyful laughter.

           The two's laughter echoed throughout the woods, but only for a short amount of time until the laughter slowly died down, until they were both grinning at each other. "You ruined my perfect face with your fist!"
"Your face is still perfect."
"You think my face is perfect?"
"Maybe-"
"Awww! You're so cute when you get all flustered!" Bill giggled, rolling over onto his back with the water going slightly over his face. "Pinetree, remember yesterday when you said you'd go on a date with me?" he looked over in Dipper's general direction. "Is this one of your attempts to make me flustered, again?" he sat up in the water and looked over at the dream demon, who looked calmer than ever with the cool water flowing around his thin body. "No. I was just wondering.. Instead of going out somewhere, we could just.." he started fiddling with the wet ends of his T-shirt before coughing.

          After a few hours of lying down in the stream, Bill suddenly sat up and looked down at his body in confusion. "What invisible force dares to defy me?!" he shouted at nothing, before coughing into his arm, the coughing fit lasting longer than it should have. A worried brunette frowned before scooting next to the dream demon and patting his back slightly.

         "Thanks.. Pinetree." he smiled up at the teen. Yes, Bill is a few inches taller than Dipper, but he was slouching over from exhaustion. "I liked this clear liquid running along the ground, but this liquid defies me and my power-" he was shaking his fist at the sky before realizing what he had finished the sentence off with. The demon tried not to seem upset about his lack of magic, but failed miserably.

           He stared at the water with a saddened expression, and Dipper knew how he felt. Though the brunette has never had magic, he knew that it was a piece of Bill that couldn't be gotten back. He basically lost a part of himself that truly mattered to him, and the shorter male knew exactly what that felt like.

          
              Dipper and Bill were back at the shack in the teen's room. The sick demon was wedged between a brunette and a blond, in attempt to keep him warm. "This world k-keeps def-defying my v-very essence!" he shivered angrily, with his head against the teen.

            "Bill. Stop talking to the elements of the universe and go to sleep." Dipper stroke Bill's still damp hair. "Make me!" he whined like a child. "How?!"
"Sing!" he exclaimed happily.
"I swear to Bob Ross that you are the biggest baby I've ever met." the brunette rolled his eyes at the demon's behavior. "So you'll sing?" the chaos god asked hopefully. Dipper took a long regretful breath before sighing and nodding.

            Bill squealed happily before climbing in between Dipper's legs and leaned his back against the brunettes chest. The dream demon smiled, happy with himself as he rested his head on the human's shoulder. Even Will shifted closer and used him as a pillow.

            "Glad you could to join us." Dipper smiled at the blond. "Glad to be here." he chuckled and leaned his back against the brunette. Both of the demons were looking at the teen, waiting eagerly for him to sing. "Sing!" Bill demanded. "Okay! Okay! Calm your doritos!"

Dipper took in a deep breath before clearing his throat and finally singing.

Wise men say.
only fools rush in.
but I can't help falling in love with you.

Dipper paused for a moment as he realised he was playing with Bill's hair.

Should I stay?
Would it be sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you?

He looked to his left and his right to find both demons fighting sleep. "Stupid human body.. Stupid Pinetree and his.. *yawn* plan on making me go to sleep... And his beautiful voice... This universe is so testing me." he mumbled to himself, thinking that the human didn't hear, but he did.

Like a river flows...
Shorely to the sea.
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.

Dipper paused once more to find that both demon's breathing had slowed down, but he kept singing for the heck of it.

Take my hand.
Take my whole life too,
Cuz' I can't help,
Falling in love with you.

Like a river flows..
Shorely to the sea.
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.

The brunette felt himself getting sleepy. How could he not? He was content in his warm place between two beings under a blanket and with two pillows to choose from. So he decided to finish a few more lyrics, just so he would be satisfied with himself.

Take... My.. Hand..
Take my whole life too...
Cuz I... Can't help...
Falling in love with you.

No, I.. Can't... Help...
Falling in love with you...

          Dippers head fell to his right, where Bill was, before he started dozing off.

After hearing a few light snores from the brunette, Will opened his eye to look at them.
The demon couldn't help but smile at the two, before lying back down on his new pillow, who he viewed as a brother and no more.

"You're perfect for him."
