Fire and Ice (Gravity Falls Dipper x Reader)

❄️🔥Chapter 13: Familiar Places🔥❄️

Your POV

I stopped running in front of some strange looking cave. In ways I couldn't describe, the place had a familiar aura. Like I had been there before.

I heard Dipper running behind to stand beside me, panting for air, but my eyes were glued to the cave.

Dipper: *pant pant* I... *pant* I guess we're... even...! *chuckles a little, still out of breath*

You: ...

Dipper: Hey... is everything ok...?

You: I... I'm not sure...

Dipper: ...? *looks at the cave* You think this is where the explosion came from?

You: It's a high possibility... *walk around it to find a door, Dipper following behind* Huh... *reach for the handle*

Dipper: ... (y/n), I'm not so sure about this...

You: It's just a little peak, we'll be fine! (I hope...)

I slowly open the door and stepped in. It was like a tiny amateur lab of some sort. Inventions, books, experience, and all if it seemed so weirdly familiar...!

You: Whoa...!

Dipper: What is this place...?

You: I don't know... But it sure feels familiar...

Dipper: Is that good or bad...?

You: *give Dipper a confused and concerned look, not knowing how to answer*

Just then, we heard some strange sounds before another very loud explosion. It was a bit late when I noticed a shelf filled with many heavy books and crystal vials with unknown chemicals about to fall on me.

I felt Dipper tightly grab my hand and pulled me away, the shelf falling a little far from us. I let out a sigh, relieved I wasn't squashed.

Then I noticed how Dipper and I had ended up. We were still holding hands, our fingers tangled with each other's. His other arm was wrapped tightly around my waist as I was pressed against his chest, our noses touching, our lips so close, our faces red.

As much as I wanted to close that space between us by pressing my lips against his, this really wasn't the time or place. So instead I gave him a tiny awkward smile and gently began to pull away as he completely lost his grip around me.

Dipper: I-I-I-... I'm r-really s-s-sorry...!

You: Heh, d-don't be, you practically saved my life...! *give him a warm smile*

???: WHO'S THERE?!?

You and Dipper: !!!!

We were suddenly startled by a sudden voice. We turned to see a strange cat-looking creature with a white lab coat and some goggles on its head. He glared at us, then only a Dipper, but its eyes widened landing on me.

???: (y/n)...? (y/n) (l/n)...?!?

You: Wha- H-how do you know my name...?!?

???: It's me!!! Jonathan Jefferson!!!

You: *eyes widen, shaking your head rapidly* Juny?!?

Juny: My, have you grown!!! You're an adult now!!! Last time I saw you and your brother you were only seven!!!

You: Yeah, it's been a long time!!!

Dipper: *quietly clears his throat*

You: Oh, sorry, Dipper. This is Juny, he was our friend when Luke and I used to leave here. Juny, this is-
