Prompt 3

They met in a waiting room

Damn hospitals were boring. Well, not for the people there who were injured or sick, he supposed, but definitely for the people stuck in the waiting room. Gravity Walls wasn't a particularly dangerous town. Sure, the place was plagued by supernatural beings and strange occurrences, but it wasn't often that people got seriously injured. This time, however, was different.

Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel had been exploring the forest as they had been doing since they had first visited the town as children. Dipper thought that being eight years older than he had been when first visiting the place would make him better at keeping his sister safe. Of course, they had never run into Hellhounds before. He should have been happy that Mabel escaped with only a broken arm, but he was just worried about her. And bored, don't forget the lingering boredom.

The waiting room was empty aside from a young man who appeared to be around his age, with messy blonde hair and clothing way too fancy for a hospital waiting room. The young man looked just as bored, and much less worried, as Dipper was. Dipper wasn't usually a very social person, but he couldn't stand another minute of this annoying silence. He cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Hey."

The other young man looked up in mild surprise, then gave a toothy grin.

"Hey."

"So...who are you waiting for?" Dipper asked, unable to think of anything else to say.

"My idiot half-brother. He fell out of a tree and broke his leg, like the freaking square he is. You?"

"My sister broke her arm while we were being chased by Hellhounds." Dipper waited for the other man to laugh at how ridiculous he sounded. The laughter never came.

"Hellhounds, huh? Yeah, those things are really territorial. You guys must have been tramping around in their hunting grounds. Well, you're lucky they didn't catch you." The man chuckled darkly.

"Wait, you know about the Hellhounds?" Dipper was astonished; all the Journal had about the creatures was that they were there.

"Sure. My idiot brother and I live out in the forest in a little cabin we got Manly Dan to help us build. We hear the things running around and howling all the time."

Dipper was about to ask the stranger to elaborate, but a nurse asking for him interrupted them.

"That's me. I guess my sister has her cast now, so I have to go. See you later...uhm, I never got your name?" He smiled a little awkwardly.

"Bill Cipher. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll see you around," Bill got up and stretched before beginning to walk off, apparently growing tired of waiting for his brother.

"See you later, Pine Tree."

I think these are getting shorter...oh well. Anyway, I've been considering delving into the dark world of NSFW, but I'm still not sure. If I do, I'll do another prompt series for it. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
