Never Letting Go of the Stars

Sum: Siren Captain Bill (finally) attempts to seduce his "kidnapped" Pine Tree, who surprisingly enjoys it. Feelings are confessed, and the results are not what Bill expected. Also, Bill is possessive and Dipper loves it, even though he's sort of drunk off his cutey-patooty. No smut, just fluff.

A oneshot for The Bereft Devil of the High Seas

Bill is a captain of The Mindscape, he's been flirting with Dipper, who joined his crew on some false pretenses that Bill was a trader of sorts. Bill's been trying to catch his eye, but it's hard to do that when Dipper has a sense of pride that keeps him from giving in. Not after he'd flirted and then "turned on him", tricking him into joining his crew. So when Bill tries another method, he has to deal with the consequences and set his own pride aside to address what he wouldn't tell him aloud. He still won't, but reading between the lines it's more than he'll admit to even himself.
