My Friend's Brother (a BillDip fanfiction)

Ch 45: The Long Awaited Truth or Dare

The game hadn't really begun until they were at least one bottle in each. Well Dipper technically hadn't even had a sip yet, though he felt a bit of a high from the energy bouncing from each person. It's not that he was scared to drink, he just had trouble taking his first ever sip.

"Ok, but seriously Dipper," Wendy slurred, "you've got to start drinking, or it won't be fun, just if you're going to. Even ask Thompson. Thompson never has fun."

"It's fun to see you guys make total asses out of yourselves," he retorted with perfect diction.

"Riiiiiight, but it's fun to be the ass on occasion."

"On occasion, yes." Thompson at one point was the group's heaviest drinker, and he was often teased for changing his ways, but his moms wanted him to clean himself up, so he started to.

Dipper looked down at the bottle that was collecting sweat from being held in his palms for so long. He considered staying sober for a moment, before accidentally catching Bill's eye from across the room.

This was going to be a long night if he stayed sober. He quickly popped off the lid of his bottle and downed the whole thing, suddenly feeling light-headed, deciding that it was better than the pain of his previously twisting gut.

Bill felt an urge to stop Dipper from drinking so much before deciding against it, seeing how they were still fighting, right?

Bill looked at the unopened bottle in his own hand. Maybe he should start drinking, maybe drown the concerns for the boy who wouldn't even sit by him...

He just couldn't bring himself to do it yet.

He could never drink when feeling like shit, unless if it was to the point of (hopefully) destroying his liver, but he didn't really like the idea of having Thompson scoop him from off of the floor again.

"Robbie, you have to do dare, come on!" Wendy urged, punching him in the arm a bit to rough.

"I don't want to- ow!"

"Ugh you suck!"

"You skipped out on a truth dude, that's pretty lame.." Lee commented.

"And it's the most basic question ever asked in this game," Nate added.

The question Lee was referring to was the age old question: 'who do you have a crush on?'. Bill already knew who Robbie liked, and was currently refraining from answering the question for him just to get the turn to move on. It seems like they've gone through this exact conversation before.

"It's not lame!" Robbie was in full defense mode now. It's nearly impossible to get him out of this mode once he's in. "The person I like is in a relationship already, so there's no point in talking about it." Wendy's face immediately dropped, seeing how she's not in a relationship.

"Oh dude sorry to hear," Nate said, patting Robbie on the shoulder. Robbie's face turned bright red, but nobody noticed, aside from the two people who knew, who happened to be the two sober people in the room.

"Unrequited love, we all suffer from it.." Dipper quipped from his previously silent spot on the floor. He was holding a second bottle in his hand, which was nearly empty.

Bill's heart twisted at Dipper's comment. He popped off the lid to his bottle, finally taking the first drink, soon enough lazily tossing the empty bottle aside.

"I vote that we get one full out chicken," Robbie whined, scooting away from Nate.

"You know that I'm just going to ask you again.." Wendy sighed.
