Since they were kids, their family always chose Mabel over Dipper. So Dipper leaves in the middle of the night, when he turns eighteen and he goes off to live in Gravity Falls. One day, he's heading back from the store with his purchases, when he is...
I put my book down when a sudden thought occurs to me.
I bookmark the page and walk to the living room where Bill is.
I see him sitting on the couch, writing promises that he made to Will, while he tries to remember a specific one, so he'll be able to find him.
I lightly tap him on his shoulder.
He must have been really focused, because he jumps when I do.
He looks up and tries to play off his initial reaction, giving me a sheepish smile.
I smile.
"So.... question?" I ask.
Bill raises an eyebrow.
"Well... I was just thinking about it... and I know that you have a scar or something on your eye because that guy attacked you with that dagger..... "
I meet his eyes, " Why are you still hiding it from me?"
He tenses slightly.
I sigh and sit beside him.
"Bill, you know all of my secrets, weaknesses, and insecurities. I... I just don't want you to hide a part of yourself from me.... You usually wear your eye patch... and I mean your face is a little shinier on that side of your face which could be a glamour... and...." I trail off with my babbling.
He's looks down at his lap.
"I-It's not a scar......."
"Why won't you show me? Bill seriously. How many times do I have to tell you that you're beautiful for you to believe it?" I ask, a hint of frustration in my tone.
"I-I.... Mase.... it's just......." He trails off.
I lean in close and kiss him, lightly rubbing his shoulders to try to relieve his tension.
'Babe I love you just the way you are. Always. Can I please just see?' I ask in his mind.
I pull back after a few moments to look at him.
Bill looks up at me, sighs, looks down, then looks back up in quick succession.
Finally, after some hesitation, he nods.
I gently pull him closer.
I reach forward, keeping my hand in sight because he's a little jumpy and gently pull off his triangular eye patch.
I see nothing at first, but then I notice that his skin is still shiny.
I climb onto his lap and lean forward, gently kissing his eye with a little magic and the glamour dissipates.
He keeps his eyes closed.
"Baby, can I please see your pretty eyes?"
He doesn't respond at first, so I lightly tickle his sides till he opens them when he laughs.
I stop when I'm sure he'll keep them open, and I cradle his face in my hands.
I look at the eye he's always hiding and notice that his pupil is a light shade of purple and then... there's an entire galaxy surrounding it.
