The Depths -BillDip

Chapter 4: Pearls

Dipper woke up the next day with puffy eyes from either crying or not sleeping much from being paranoid. He smelt food. It smelt nice.

"Morning!" Bill chirped looking around the corner. Dipper jumped with fright.

"Oops, did I scare you?" He chuckled walking over to sit next to him and handed him a plate of food. Dipper took it hesitantly with a glare.

"Why did you sleep here?" Bill asked.

"You stunk of sea water." Dipper responded. Sure it was half of the truth. But he wasn't going to say 'your a killer siren and I dont wanna be your next meal'.

"Oh well where were you anyways you weren't home when I got back."

"Out working sorry." Dipper responded coldly. "Why?"

"I missed you." Bill snuggled into the brunette lovingly. Dipper froze. 'what do I what do I do oh god What do i do?!' He thought in his head.

"You okay? your breathing heavily and sweating all over my new shirt..." Bill deadpanned.

"Sorry just tired."

"huh, Anyways I got something for you!" Bill smiled before bending down looking for something.

Dipper panicked. 'is it some sort of plate to eat me on!?' But he stopped thinking when Bill handed him a small paper box.

"Open it!" He giggled.

Dipper did as told and stared. A pearl charm necklace sat in the box. Wait didn't Bill get pearls from the box under the ocean last night? Did he actually go and find them for him???

"Soo do you like it???" Bill asked smiling brightly like a child.

"Y-yeah Are these diamond encrusted pearls?" Dipper asked picking them up.

"Yup!" Bill said.

"How did you- Bill these are found at the bottom of the ocean where any man would die from the sea pressure- how did you get these?" Dipper asked knowing fully well how he got them.

"Well I uh found them on the beach..." Bill stuttered he obviously didn't think this through.

"The Oysters dont give these up that easily for you to have 8 perfectly intact pearls randomly on a beach at the same time." Dipper stared.

Bills expression turned to a frustrated one. "I do something nice for you and all you can say is how I got the god damn pearls?" He scoffed and shot up walking away.

"Cant you just be happy? I made that for you  not for anyone else for you." Bill shot at him coldly.

"Its lovely Bill but Im just curious."  Dipper smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah well curiosity killed the cat didn't it?" Bill snarled. Dippers eyes widened. 'Is-is he going to kill me?' He thought.

"Sorry." He looked at the floor.

"Its fine honestly Pinetree I should have known you'd ask you do study these sorts of things." Bill smiled shyly. "If you must know I paid quite a bit of money for them some other guy had a set so I purchased them and made you this." Bill had a blush on his face.

Dippers heart melted. Okay he knew he was truly a vicious predator siren. But honestly, Bill had went down into the ocean that night to find him those pearls to give to him. Dipper couldn't help but smile in awe at the blonde.

"What?" Bill asked suspiciously. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Thank you" Dipper smiled.

"Your welcome Sapling." Bill smiled back.

"I have to go..." Dipper muttered remembering he has to go work.

"Oh... Cant you not just call in sick?" Bill pleaded. "You never spend time with me anymore..."

"Bill I would but we found what did this."

Bills eyes widened."What did it?" He stuttered in ...fear?

"A animal look ill tell you tonight." Dipper grabbed his coat without changing from his previous clothes. "Bye" He ran out of the house.

"What are you up to?" Bill muttered glaring at the door before grabbing his black coat and running out the door moments later.
