Kytheres (Guest) Requested...
Soos finds Bill and Dipper in the middle of a make-out session in the forest/attic, and he's totally cool with it. And then Dipper freaks out over something (no idea what, think of something), and Bill's confused, but Soos is like, "I can fix anything," and tries being a match-maker, and Mabel comes along and sees Bill and is really angry, but puts some hints together and figures out that Bill likes Dipper (even tho bro-bro is nowhere to be found), and they have to search the forest for him, and when they do find him, he's trapped by some creature that wants to make him their prince (or into a meal) and Bill FREAKS OUT and kills all of the little creatures, and is heaving, and he kisses Dipper, and Mabel and Soos just sit there... and finally, at the end, Soos and Mabel look at each other, at Dipper and Bill kissing their hearts out, and say, 'MATCH MADE!' really epically!
My Response...
AFTER RE-READING THIS FIFTY THOUSAND TIMES, I got inspired. Well, I won't keep you waiting! ;D Let's roll film, shall we? (Heh sorry if that first part sounded rude, this was just a long request XD BUT IT WAS A GOOD REQUEST AT THAT!)
P.S: I've never really written descriptive kissing before, but... This chapter kinda called for with me, folks, because things are about to get experimental!
Soos never really wandered through the woods- He was a stick-to-the-sidewalk or just stay indoors kind of guy, sometimes venturing to the arcade. So when Stan sent him to go look for Dipper, he had a feeling he'd just get lost. Every tree looked the same- How would he ever find his way back?
The kid had run off during an argument, but he had no idea what it was about. He and Mabel were pretty worked up over it, too... Something about his neck- But he had no idea who it concerned. He entertained himself by theorizing, slowly straying farther and farther from the path.
-=[0]=-
Dipper didn't care what his sister thought. He didn't care that she disapproved, or that she was only trying to look out for him. She was wrong about Bill, and that was what bothered him. She'd always been worried, as every night he came out of the forest with a new bruise. Upon closer inspection, she'd discovered they were hickeys.
She'd always been nagging him to introduce her to the 'lucky girl', but he never told her a thing. Sure, he could've just told her some simple lies, just to get her off his back- But no, he'd never lied to his sister! He'd brush off questions, or tell twisted truths, but he never lied to her.
Ever.
Because of his refusal to tell her, the twins got in constant fights. Dipper would be gone from the afternoon to the evening, sometimes even into the twilight hours. Mabel figured that there HADto be a reason why he was so nervous. Maybe he was afraid she'd embarrass him, or break them up? Was she too silly, or was there another reason?
Neither answer was at all comforting.
Dipper had a tendency to bottle up his feelings, that was obvious. He was like a clogged tap- First nothing, then all at once. This was very different than Mabel's propensity, as she just let emotions go as they came. That was who they were, but she couldn't help but think it to be a burden.
Since his disappearances became regulated, they started having calmer fights. Mabel would be yelling and screaming, but he'd dismiss her politely. He never showed much emotion at anymore, just the calm smile of a twelve-year-old who couldn't wait for lunch.
But now, in his lover's arms, he let it all out. There, deep within the forest, was the only place he could laugh- The only place he could cry. "It's not fair." He complained, quietly sobbing into his partner's chest. "She just doesn't get it."
The man pressed a kiss to his head, nose buried in the mop of messy brown hair. "Did you tell her anything?" He asked darkly, dangerous but afraid all the same. If word got out that his little Pine Tree was dating a demon, he'd surely be taken away.
And nobody takes Bill's things.
"No." Came a quiet response, weak but honest. "No, I'd never tell her- anyone, for that matter!" He promised, trying to stop the stream of tears the flowed so freely. "I can't lose you." He added under his breath, bringing a smile to the demon's face.
"That's my little pet." He sang, using a gloved finger to tilt the boy's head upwards. His face was red from crying, as if he'd been weeping tears of blood. His lip trembled, holding back another sob. Beautiful, but he looked better happy. "I'd hate to have to say goodbye so early in our relationship." He wrapped his free hand around the child's neck, pulling him into a hungry kiss.
Dipper eagerly returned it, obediently letting Bill stay dominant. That was how he liked it- It made him feel safe, like the demon had everything under control. The demon bit down on his bottom lip, and was instantly rewarded with admission. He felt the boy's tongue roll along his, not a sliver of hesitation showing.
Bill smirked awkwardly into the kiss, knowing how wrong this was. He didn't care for human morals, but he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the kid. After all, if he ever came to his senses, he'd surely leave him- He'd have children of his own, and a wife... And his whole life, he'd have to live with this very moment weighing him down.
The demon pulled away without warning, letting the other breathe. Dipper gasped for air, smiling sweetly. Bill watched as he caught his breath, admiring the boy. "Do you promise to never leave me?" He asked, genuine fondness in his voice. "I don't want to fall in love with someone who's only going to leave me in the end."
Dipper opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by the sound of a snapping twig. That lone snap was then followed by a symphony of crackling leaves, and the nervous laugh of a familiar man. Soos rose from behind a bush, smiling sheepishly. "Uh, I wasn't spying, I just-"
"WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Bill's voice boomed, angling himself so he stood between the man and Dipper. "SPEAK!"
Soos shook his head casually, thinking. "Well, I got here a while ago... Uh, you guys kissed a lot, and you said some romantic stuff. Why?" His response seemed harmless enough. The demon grunted, and released Dipper from the embrace. "I won't tell anyone, though. I mean, Dipper looks happy, so..." He trailed off, suddenly feeling awkward. A look of recognition washed over his face as he inspected the other man. "Hey, aren't you-"
"Go home, Soos." Dipper laughed, relieved they wouldn't be ratted out. "I know you already said you wouldn't, but PLEASE don't tell anyone, okay? This includes Mabel, Stan, and even Waddles." He didn't want to take any chances.
The man smiled blankly, and tipped his hat before going back the way he came. Sure, he'd just seen his best friend kissing a man older than he- But if that's what brought the kid such calmness every day, he decided to just leave a good thing be. After all, he didn't look at all hurt, mentally or physically.
Once Soos was out of the picture, Dipper turned back to the demon. "That was too close." He mumbled, cheeks still pink with mortification.
Bill was slightly discouraged. The boy looked so embarrassed. That friend of his was too dim to tell anyone, they both knew that... So why did he still seem so flustered? "Now, where were we?" He whispered to himself, adjusting his tie. "Ah, yes. You were about to answer my question." He walked back towards the child, eyeing him down with intimidation in mind.
It seemed to be working, as Dipper didn't do so much as stand there. He didn't smile, but this was a serious matter. Playing with a demon's emotions was no game, even if his hair was far more golden than his heart itself. "I-I'm... Uh..."
The demon raised his eyebrows expectantly. It was just a question- And judging by the way he'd been earlier, the answer was nothing to fear sharing. "Words, Pine Tree. Form sentences with your mouth, and I'll hear them with my ears." He deadpanned, sarcasm lining his tone.
But the boy only said four words, so powerful they made Bill Cipher himself speechless. In all honesty, they made him wish he never asked.
"I can't promise anything."
The child clapped a hand over his mouth. It was as if he surprised himself, admitting such a thing. The demon felt confusion and rage build up inside of him, but knew it wouldn't be wise to argue. "I see." He sighed, nodding to himself. "Well, at least you're telling the truth."
Dipper felt tears rush to his eyes, staring at the man. "N-no, Bill, I take it back-"
"-Save your breath, kid." He groaned, ignoring the boy's stream of apologies. "Just... go." His voice was now more of a growl, demanding and final.
The child reluctantly stopped apologizing, and wiped his tears from his face. "Bill, I-" He bit his lip. "Goodbye." He started off in the direction he came in, still unsure what came over him. He loved the demon with all his heart, the answer should've been simple! Of course, he'd have his own family one day, but his heart would always belong to Bill...
Or perhaps that was the best thing to do. He could talk to Mabel, say he and his mystery 'girl'friend broke up, and they could resolve their fights. He'd live a happier, more carefree life, and uncover the secrets of Gravity Falls. The thought lightened the load of grief he carried, and a hopeful smile teased his lips.
And yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that he'd just made a grave mistake.
-=[0]=-
Soos hadn't found his way back yet, despite the ten minutes that had passed. Instead, he'd made it back to Bill, who was sitting sadly on a log. He would've left him alone, but Dipper's absence made him worry. Besides, he might know the way back!
"Uh, dude?" He started, getting no reaction or response. "Where's Dipper?" The man closed his eyes, a scowl dancing across his face.
"Hell if I know." He muttered, kicking the ground. Soos cautiously came closer, taking a seat beside him. "Probably back at that pile of splinters he calls home." The demon opened his eyes, but instantly shut them. He'd made a mistake- tears were stinging his eyes like bees to flesh. They were full of hurt and confusion, a constant reminder of the four words.
Soos nodded quietly, not wanting to be rude. He waited an appropriate amount of time before speaking up, as he too needed to get home. "So, I need to get there too, uh... I'm a little lost, though."
Bill shot him an empty glance through tired eyes, not showing any signs of emotion. "I don't think I'll be any help, sorry. I'm just as lost inside as you are out."
The handyman's eyes widened. "What happened?" He was both intrigued and sympathetic, and he let it show in every word.
"I don't know..." He groaned, throwing his head back. Why was he even talking to this insignificant mortal? "I don't know much of anything right now, really." He admitted, almost laughing at himself. Such a powerful being, torn apart by a young boy. Unthinkable.
Soos pulled out a screwdriver from his pocket- The very tool that had led him to the Mystery Shack to many years ago. He'd never let it out of his sight, for with it he was an amazing repairman. It brought him many great things in his years, along with many fixed objects.
Oh yes, it fixed many things in the past, but never before a broken heart.
Now, he thought, clutching it tightly, We'll put you to the test.
-=[0]=-
After a lot of persuasion, Bill led the man out of the woods. In return, Soos promised to help him- But he couldn't do it alone. In fear of Dipper being in the shack, he went in alone, leaving the other outside. He returned with Mabel, who pursed her lips at the sight of the man. He did the same, remembering how worked up she got over her brother's well-kept secrets.
Anger welled up inside of him, looking at Soos as if to say 'you promised'. The handyman just gave him an apologetic look, and turned back to the girl.
Soos hadn't recognized him, but the she had. She leaned over to whisper something to her friend, who whispered something back calmly. She seemed to relax, though there was still a hint of suspicion in her eye.
Her mind was scrambled, heart racing. Bill Cipher? How on earth did her brother get together with a demon? She put the pieces together, noting how Dipper was so secretive about his relationship. There really was no way to say this without hurting her- Her brother had hid reasons to not tell her, and good ones at that.
Three in particular stood out. One, Bill was a demon. A demon of the mind, at that, and a dangerous one too. Secondly, he must be a zillion years old! Well, he didn't look it- He took on the body of a twenty-year-old, but it was still an unsettling thought. Lastly, he was, well, a HE. Dipper probably wanted to come out of the closet on his own time, without a sister forcing it out of him.
"Bill." She started, taking a deep breath. Said man nodded nervously, twiddling his thumbs. "Bill Cipher, heartbroken over my brother." She added, thinking out loud. He nodded again, almost shamefully. He wasn't afraid to admit it, but coming on too strong might overwhelm the girl. "Well, I'm really not sure if I should be disgusted or happy."
The demon tilted his head to the side. "I suppose a bit of both." He laughed, trying to lighten the mood. After Dipper's confession, he never wanted to be so serious again. Such a grim vibe was something that now only reminded him of that single moment in time.
Mabel forced a small smile, considering it. "Alright, I guess I'll help out- But you gotta respect my brother's decision in the end, you hear? Whether we patch this up or not, you have to live with the result." Her tone left no room for negotiation, and Bill nodded solemnly.
"Of course, Shooting Star." He promised, and she broke into a record-smashing grin. "Now, the fun- I GET TO PLAY MATCHMAKER!~" She yelled, almost shattering glass. The demon cringed, but laughed along anyway.
How bad could it be?
-=[0]=-
The three had set out into the forest, now equipped with maps and flashlights. It was almost laughable, the scene, considering their intentions, location and appearance. A young, sweater-clad girl, a man clutching his screwdriver like it was his life, and a demon in a custard-yellow suit.
Walking through a dark forest, in search of a boy.
So they could match-make.
...I can't possibly be the only one who thinks that's at least a little bit weird!
They quickly and quietly trekked deeper into the woods, flashlights disturbing the calm darkness of the setting sun. The trees eventually cut out the little natural light they had, entrusting their flashlight batteries to lead the group safely.
"DIPPER!" Mabel called out, throat raw from earlier attempts. "DIPPER, I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET, WEJUST WANNA HELP!" They had agreed to have only Mabel speak and Soos call, because they still weren't sure of the boy's feelings towards Bill.
"WE HAVE SNACKS, DUDE!" The man tried, but to avail.
The demon sighed dramatically, trying to tune out the constant yelling. "Question Mark, we ran out of food half an hour ago." He whispered, earning a surprised gasp. Soos palmed at his pockets, but didn't seem to find anything. "Heheh, I might've had a few." Bill admitted, grinning smugly.
Before they could argue, a loud animalistic sound ripped through the forest. Mabel's eyes widened to the size of golf balls, and the trio hurried in the direction of the noise.
"I... Really... Hope- Hah, that Dipper isn't over there!" Mabel said between gasps for air, She was a fast runner, but she was easily worn out. Add in the factor that her brother's life could be on the line, and it felt like her heart would leap out of her chest.
"You and me both, kid." Bill bit his lip, floating alongside them. "Wanna lift?" He raised his arms, showing her jazz hands. "Ninety-nine percent safe, I assure you."
She shook her head, pushing him away. "No, I'm good- I don't wanna take that chance." She spat bitterly, mad that she was dragged into this mess.
No, mad that Dipper was dragged into this mess. He didn't deserve this emotional agony.
"Besides, I'm wearing a skirt." She heaved, slowing down. The three came to a halt in front of a row of bushes. It was exactly where Bill had met up with the boy before- This wasn't the first time Soos had hidden there, and for some reason he felt the need to point that out.
Bill cautiously poked his head out from around the bush, and his mouth dropped wide open.
In the circle of trees was the queen of the crystal spiders- Dubbed 'Arachne' by those who spoke in mortal tongue. Her real name was impossible to pronounce without two tongues and a lot of spit, but that isn't really important. (hehe, I'm just weird)
She held a small figure in three sharp pincers, which remained motionless and silent. Mabel and Soos looked over as well, fear striking them in the heart. "BILL!" The girl whisper-screamed, nodding her head towards the monster. "GO!"
Bill was immortal, despite his human appearance... But was that body actually Dipper? With a deep breath, he knew there was only one way to be sure. Why was the kid not doing anything, anyway?
He sprung from his hiding spot, not wanting to consider the possibilities. "HEY, SPIDER LADY!" Of course, she didn't understand a word he said, but it sure as hell got her attention. He floated up next to her, steaming with rage.
"Discedite a me daemonem! Hic puer est rex factus. Aut illi: Vade in pace, et consumam." The foreign language was easily deciphered by the demon, but the others were confused as ever.
"WHAT DID SHE SAY?" Mabel yelled from her spot on the ground, trying to look at who she assumed was her brother.
Bill shook his head darkly. "Nothing good." He growled darkly, blue fire sprouting from his gloved hands. "Amen dico vobis, quia rex est puer! Et derelinquam mihi in eo signum, sic reddet pati!" He turned back to the boy's twin. "She wants your brother to be her king, for god knows what reason."
On that note, the queen bared her teeth. With a hiss, she lunged at the demon- A not-so-smart move, on her part. Blue flames engulfed her, and a scream of agony rang through the forest. "That's what you get for messing with my stuff, asshole." He muttered furiously.
In one swift move, Bill retrieved the boy and flew back to the others. "RUN!" He demanded, flying ahead with the weakened child. They would have to outrun the spider on their own- He was far ahead of the two now, only wanting to get Dipper back to safety.
He breathed softly in the demon's arms, almost unconscious. He couldn't quite remember what had happened, but the dread in his stomach told no good tale. He was walking back to the shack when a horrendous beast carried him off. He was wrapped in golden thread, and from there it was as much of a mystery to anyone as it was to him.
When Bill deemed their distance safe, he came to a halt and returned to the ground. Looking into Dipper's eyes, he was pleased to see he was awake. "Hey, kiddo." He offered a feeble smile, and was met by an even feebler one.
"Hey, Bill." He whispered, glancing down at himself. "What is this stuff, anyway?" The demon planted a kiss on his cheek and unravelled the string.
"Just some crystal thread- You had the honour of being wrapped up by the queen herself." He answered, sarcasm biting his last few words. "You really need to be more careful, out there. Your pretty little face already got two supernatural creatures to love you, and I have a feeling that number will only grow."
It wasn't that Bill was overprotective, he was just-
Well, he was overprotective, but he had a good reason to be.
Dipper blushed like a schoolgirl, letting his eyes flutter shut. He wasn't surprised when a pair of lips pressed to his own, desperate and strangely addicting. He didn't bother debating whether or not to kiss back, and he subconsciously started to wonder if he really would be able to leave Bill one day.
It was hard to imagine life without the demon, really. After all, how could he marry someone when his affection was directed towards another?
And then came two voices, childish and excited. His sister and best friend, screaming at athe top of their lungs-
"MATCH MADE!"
Well, sorry the ending was horrible.
I could've made it fluffier, but I just realized I have to have a shower and shit...
So, I apologize if this was disappointing. ;-;
Anyway, love you guys! ;3
