Fun Times!
- Dipper's POV -
These days get here fast, don't they? Life always throws the craziest things at us and makes us avoid it to not fix them later down the line. I swear, that lasting feeling to patch that ship with my sister is still lingering. And so far, there hasn't been progress on it. To be honest, I'm afraid to talk about all of the issues up to this point. There are so many directions that I could take in the heat of the argument. I'm 90% sure there will be an argument, no expectations. Jeez, I'm acting as if I don't take the time to fix this all. I do have that urge to do so, but it's so low due to my fear of being yelled at or ... getting blamed for what happened in the past. I can't change history for the actions that I have committed. But surely, I can't control what's going to happen in the future either. In certain situations, I can, but I believe they'll be a waste on my sister.
Maybe I should just take the risk and see what comes at me.
I nodded my head and closed my eyes, letting out a sigh afterward. I opened them a second later and stare up at the sky. On this hopeful Saturday, I was sent away early this morning by Mabel to see if I could find anything unusual. I did and I did not. Nothing in this town seems interesting, although I did feel like someone or something was watching me throughout the entire walk. Giving me this bad vibe if I ever continue the walk. Do the other folks feel that way? I might have to ask tomorrow since that is the only unusual thing out of this town. I entered the shack and greeted my grunkles before turning towards the staircase, spotting someone coming down them. "Oh hey, Mason!" Pacifica greeted. I guess Mabel invited her over.
"Hello, Pacifica." I greeted back.
"Perfect timing, me and Mabel have a question for you." She said.
"Well if it's the unusual placements in the town, then I got nothing." I said. I'm keeping the creepy vibe to myself.
"It wasn't that. It was uh, why did you keep one of the missing posters underneath your pillow? And knowing that we KNOW that person on the poster..." She trailed off, staring at my shocked expression. Shit, I forgot to relocate it!
"... I hid it for a reason." I slowly said.
"... Um, can I ask why?" She said, looking nervous.
"... I didn't want to ask the survivor or involve that person because if I did, we would be bringing up bad memories that they have suffered. I know it can be a good thing to be put on track in this case. However, I'm only doing it to protect him." I answered. I watched her expression shift from nervous to guilt and sadness.
"I understand. I would have never thought it that way." She said, nodding. "Well, this'll be difficult although, Mabel had a different reaction when finding it."
"I'd assume she was annoyed and angry." I guessed.
"Exactly. More annoyed than angry, but yeah, you get the point." She said, turning around to face the staircase. "Are you sure you didn't find anything off...?"
"No, nothing appears to be off." I answered.
"Not even the feeling of being watched?" She asked which caught me off guard. I stared at her, widening my eyes.
"You felt it too?"
"Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that." She smiled before going back to her focus expression. "I wonder why I started to feel it a couple days ago..."
"A couple days ago...? To be honest, if I were to guess anything on the matter, I think it may be the kidnapper who is watching us." I said.
"If that's the case, how would they know that we're the ones working on this case?" Pacifica asked, looking confused.
"Someone must have spread information around and out of school. However, the only people that we told were ... Lee, Wendy, Gideon, and Kahlil." I said.
"I don't doubt either Lee or Wendy." She said.
"I don't guess them to be the case at all, same with Kahlil. He refuses to listen or join in this mess. Well, I'm guessing he doesn't." I said.
"Yeah... I heard before." She nodded slowly. " ... Wait, then that leaves just Gideon."
"Yes. He could be the one who spread the information around and somehow it got to the Kidnapper's ears." I said. "If that's the case, then we're being watched of what we do."
"Damn, I don't want to be aware of who's watching me, but I guess that's the end of it." She said, rubbing her head.
"There you are!" We both turned up to the top of the staircase, staring at Mabel. "I was wondering why it was taking you guys so long."
"Sorry Mabel, I got caught up with something we discovered." Pacifica said.
"Wait, something happened in town?" Mabel asked, waving a movement for us to come upstairs. We did as I told her what I felt, along with Pacifica's input.
"Great, we're not in the sneaky zone anymore." Mabel grunted. "Another smart move that the kidnapper did."
"We might have to walk together or better, ride in a car to avoid that feeling." Pacifica said.
"True. Escaping is no option, but that doesn't mean we're halting this case." Mabel said, walking into the shared room with us following after. "Now. Dipper."
I tensed up, already feeling anxiety crawling up underneath my skin. I stood by the door, trying to not show my nervousness. I watched her grab the folder that was laid on my bed and turned towards me with an annoyed expression. "Why were you hiding this?" She asked. "This could speed up our finding on this case."
"Frankly I don't want him involved in this mess." I answered.
"But don't-"
"I said, I won't. The answer is no." I said, interrupting her.
"We can find another way to get close to the Kidnapper's identify, Mabel!" Pacifica said.
"And rather do it the long way? No way, this is the better route of this all." Mabel said.
"I know you want this to be quick, but not everything is going to come easy for us." Pacifica said, looking nervous.
"Why do you think this is a bad idea?" She asked, looking confused.
"Well... uh... we're probably stepping into someone's private life where they don't want to share?" She asked, fiddling her fingers.
"So?" Mabel said.
"I don't think you would like it if someone stepped or be noisy around your private life, Mabel." I said, narrowing my eyes.
"I wouldn't but this is different." She said.
"No, it's not. I think we can all agree that we can find another way to figure this out." Pacifica said.
"I don't agree with this!" Mabel said, raising her voice.
"We're not going along with this." I said. "What part of the statement did you miss?"
"You guys don't get it!" She snapped, turning away.
"We do! We understand how you miss Candy so much. But we're not asking Kahlil to be involved in this mess." Pacifica said.
"What is the one reason why you guys- you know what, I can just ask him." She said, switching the statement midway through her sentence.
"And to be honest, I don't think he trusts you enough to share that information." I said.
"If he doesn't, he's playing a dumb move." She said.
"It's not really a dumb move. It's ... complicated." I said quietly, having trouble describing it.
"If someone isn't recovering from healing, I don't think they would tell." Pacifica said, looking over at me. I slowly nodded to her. We both looked over at Mabel.
"Oh, so your saying whatever problems he had hasn't disappeared-"
"Past problems do not disappear like that!" I snapped. "You can't just snap them away like they never existed."
"I can." She said turning to me.
"Then you surely haven't snapped away the problems we been having in our relationship." I said. She looked at me with wide eyes, along with a shocked expression.
"You guys... are not okay with each other?" Pacifica asked, looking at us with a worried expression.
"We are. We're just having difficulty, that's all." She bluntly lied. I clenched my teeth, irritation growing within me. You liar.
"Well, if you guys need help, I could see if there's anything wrong..." Pacifica offered.
"No need. We can solve this on our own." Mabel said. However, it just seemed like another lie she cooked up. I can't take this kindness behavior that I've been pulling off in a few days anymore. Every proof of not improving isn't working. And even when trying to push away disorders isn't helping.
"However, I want to talk to you with something." She said to me. "Can you excuse yourself, Pacifica? And I'm sorry I snapped at you." The blonde nodded, smiling nervously.
"It's alright! I'll be down below." Pacifica said walking out of the room. I let her pass before turning to glare at my sister.
"Close the door would you?" She asked. I grunted and closed the door, before leaning on it.
"What do you want to do on this unstable bond we have?" She asked, standing in the center of the room. I looked down at the wooden floor, clenching my hands a bit before releasing them.
"I wanted to fix this and go back to how things were before. However, how do we do that when I don't even know what's going on?" I asked.
"It was going back to normal until you know, you decided to take matters into your own hands." She said.
I held back my anger and calmed myself down. "It was going back to normal for you. To me, it wasn't. Although, it may seem that way on the outside it wasn't in the inside." I said.
"Is that why you never told me about the medication change?" She asked.
"You would just say it as if I don't need it. I needed it because if I continued on the first medication, I would have lost my mind at this point and I don't want that." I answered.
"How would you lose your mind if you're on medication?" She asked, looking confused.
"... I felt ... empty as if something was forming within my head and preventing me from feeling all of the emotions. I just felt dull and gloomy. I didn't act like myself and I didn't like how the first medication functioned that way." I answered. "That's why I said, I might have lost my mind."
"... I don't see ... the problem of that." She slowly said. "Like, I don't see the medication doing that. Although I did see it doing that. It's a bit confusing to understand."
"You'll understand if you were under it or have some knowledge on it." I said.
"And I don't. And even after the changed medication, you still acted as if you had the problems trailing behind you." Mabel said.
"... Yeah but ... don't you see the mistakes you did-"
"Don't try to turn it on me, Dipper. I didn't do anything to drown this bond." She interrupted me. Yes, you did! My mind screamed. There was visible annoyance appearing on my face slowly. I tried to be nice about this all and you go ahead and pushed it down even further.
"Then what do I do?" I asked.
"Forget about everything that happened in the past. What do you think? You're supposed to be the smart one, not the, you know-"
"I get it." I said, interrupting her.
"Maybe then that'll help." She said, nodding to herself.
I glared her down, crossing my arms. I can't just pretend every day is normal and a utopia. I can't just forget what happened in the past. A few points are needed to be remembered. "And you're not going to work on yourself?" I asked. "Do you think you're perfect?"
"I'm not perfect, but I'd like to think I am. What are you trying to get at, Dipper?" She said, placing her hand on her hips.
"I'll just say this. There are some things we need to work on ourselves to become a better person in the future. Pretending as if having a mental problem is the situation to a selfish point isn't a reasonable assumption. Acting as if what we do as broken souls isn't the best way to establish a good bond." I explained.
"It is selfish!" She snapped.
"It's not selfish, it's something disordered in our brain. That's the way you think. And I don't think we can get along if you keep assuming that." I said.
"What do you know? You know nothing of me!" She hissed.
"And you know nothing of me either." I said, getting off of the door and grabbing the knob. "I think we can leave our bond on an abandoned island. If you want to re-establish this relationship, come back to me when you're finally fixed. Because I'm not dealing with your bullshit anymore." I said, exiting the room. I shut the door and stormed away from it. I walked downstairs and onto the first floor. My breathing was fast as my heart raced as well. That- ... I don't even know I made the right choice. I stayed calm throughout the whole thing and never once lashed out. I don't even know if she's going to do what I told her to do. Right now I want my brain to rest.
I sighed and looked up, seeing Pacifica coming through the archway in the hallway. She halted and stared at me. She tilted her head in curiosity, wondering if the talk was okay or bad. I don't even know what to think of it. I walked away from the staircase and over to the dining room arch. I looked inside and looked over when I saw my sister run past me and over to Pacifica. She hugged her as I heard sobs. ... I made her cry with that statement? Well, I didn't realize it caused damage to her well being. "What did you say to her, Dipper?" Pacifica asked in a serious tone. She looked at me with an angry expression.
"All I said-"
"You said ... you said you don't want to be ... to be my sibling anymore!" I heard Mabel sobbed.
"I didn't-"
"Why did you say that?!" Pacifica snapped. Oh gosh, Mabel. Why did you take it the wrong way? "What made you even say that in the first place?"
"I didn't say it that way." I said, trying to back myself up.
"Yes, you did! YOU DID!" Mabel shouted, turning to face me with her crying face.
"Calm down, Mabel." Pacifica said, grabbing her shoulders. "Come on." She guided my sister out of the hallway and pass the curtain that hanged in the archway. I stood there frozen and unanimated as to what happened. Don't take it so personally, Dipper. Don't. Don't ... I saw my eyes grew blurry as I begin to hear my heartbeat. I leaned on the archway and clutch my hand to my chest. I stared at the wooden floor with shaky limbs. Don't ... take it personally, Dipper. I told myself. But ... It doesn't seem to work. It just makes it seems it's my fault for this commotion. It's not my fault. She just took it the wrong way.
I breathe in and out, realizing I'm not calming down. Relax! I told myself again, however, no process was made. I ... I need help.
- Kahlil's POV -
I narrowed my eyes, watching the two girls walk away. What the hell happened? I guess I walked all the way over here for no reason what so ever. I sighed. Another time wasted. I do hope that whatever Mabel texted me wasn't important. Although, why I'm curious about what happened with Mabel? I stood by the steps of the Mystery Shack, rubbing the back of my head slightly. Eh, it's not really important. I jerked my head over at the creak of the front door, startled by it. I swear they need to get a new door. I watched the figure slowly make its way out of the door. I recognize the figure as I widen my eyes. I also notice the shaky limbs that Dipper had. Without a thought, I rushed over. Worry begins to rise upon me as I grabbed his hands. "What's wrong?" I asked with a stern voice.
I watched him stare at me with panicked eyes before looking away. "C-Can we go somewhere quiet?" He said the panic was quite heard in his voice. I nodded and led him gently down the steps and over to the gigantic brown-green trees. I kept him close and walked in, pushing away any leaves or vines that could block our path. I guided him to a tall tree and made both of us climb it. As we reach one of the branches that were strong enough to hold us both, I halted and turned to him. "Here is a good spot." I said, beginning to sit down. He did the same as he sat close to me. I wrap an arm around him, attempting to reassure him. "Now, what happened several minutes ago?" I asked quietly, keeping my voice soft and gentle.
I could see his mind battling for control like a warzone. It did take a minute for him to respond back. "I ... I don't know where to begin with." I was about to open my mouth to speak but he interrupted me by continuing. "I... I managed to talk to her about ... our crumbling relationship ... I ... I ... I still don't know if it was the right decision. She doesn't see her mistakes and just ... tries to blame me just because I have a problem with how the past always comes back to haunt me sometimes. More so, it's how she thinks everything I say is an excuse, no matter what. However, I didn't expect her to cry about the statement I made. Or take it the wrong way." He said quietly, although his voice was fading towards the end.
"Take what the wrong way?" I asked softly.
"That I couldn't improve the relationship itself if she doesn't fix her actions. She assumes that it means I won't be her brother anymore. We're still related and still twined regardless of what I say, and none of it is what I relate to our sibling status. I ... I just don't want to put up with her anymore." He said quietly, having his head down in his hands. So she drove you mad to the point you lost it? Well, kind of. Man, what is up with you, Mabel?
"To be honest, she had it coming." I said quietly. "She didn't see her actions doing the opposite of what she thinks and she never had any interest in stopping. I wonder what she thinks of this all."
"Probably blaming me like always." I heard him grumbled.
"Yeah. I wish it was different. She used to be buddy-buddies, and now she's not. Did the responsibility of being in a relationship take over?" I asked. Mostly directed to me.
"I don't want to assume that at all but ... I did think about it once." He responded.
"I mean, we don't have to go into the deep ends of her relationship with the homophobic asshole." I cursed, grumbling afterward. I heard him chuckle silently.
"We don't at all." He said quietly. Silence decided to pour in after that, sitting quietly underneath the tranquil jungle. I shivered before putting both of my hands in my lap. I did forget one of them was around Dipper, but I reminded myself. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to show him a place ever since he told me that he had The Big Dipper on his forehead. Maybe I can do it now. "Hey, I found a very cool place that you might be interested in." I asked.
"How would you know I might be interested in?" Dipper asked, sitting up to look at me.
"It's just a guess unless I show you the place." I said, shrugging.
"What is this place?" He asked, curiosity rising within him.
"I'd rather not tell, it'll spoil the surprise." I smirked.
"Oh. So you want me to guess?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.
"If you want, but I bet in a million years you wouldn't get it right. I could show you if you want." I said. "Although, that was my original plan."
"With the possibilities, anything can happen in this jungle. So, I will follow you to see what this place is." He said. "It better not be something where a terrifying monster is hiding at."
"Oh no! It ... it wouldn't be that at all!" I said nervously, trying not to remember the last time I got scared within this jungle. I slowly stood up and helped him up when he was ready. "Just follow me and everything will go according to plan."
"You make it sound like you're a villain." He said. In another universe, I'm probably am. I let out a small snicker.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I'm just a neutral person. Neither good nor bad." I said, walking on the branch.
"On the horizon line of things." I heard him say.
"Precisely." I nodded, crossing a branch. "I pretty much don't see in helping the world for how they got it in the worse ends."
"Well, that's your belief and I won't make you do anything regardless of the case." He said.
"Case? That thing." I grumbled, crossing another set of branches. I looked over my shoulder and helped him cross them.
"Yeah, I know how much you hate it." He muttered, his voice growing quiet.
"Something up?" I asked, raising a brow.
"... Don't accept anything that Mabel says." He said.
I looked ahead and stared at the endless trees. "I won't. I don't think I will anyway. However, does the case have to deal with her saying something about me? Because I swear my poster shouldn't be up by now."
"It's not... although some files still include your poster." He said.
"Great. It would make sense on why she texted me that." I grumbled quietly.
"Yeah..." He trailed off quietly. The trip grew silent from there on until we came across some glowing mushrooms.
"The Resting Grounds?" Dipper asked.
"Nope! Something much higher." I smiled.
"Wait, we have to climb higher to that place?!" He said, worry hinting in his voice.
"Yep! I think you can get the hint of it." I said, halting and looking up at the tree.
"Something dangerous is coming up in my head. Like those little shits that we first came across." He cursed.
"Jeez... how long ago that was..." I said, walking over to the bark.
"Now I think about it, it's been a long time since we've seen them. I'm not saying we should go and see them." He said, walking up beside me.
"I would just so I can kick their leader down to the jungle's grounds." I said.
"That's a bit brutal, don't you think?" He said, narrowing his eyes.
"Not to me when they were threatening my future boyfriend." I said, turning to him with a smirk.
"Oh stop it and let's climb already." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Alright." I chuckled. We made our way up the tree with the help of its massive vines. Although, we made little trouble here and there, as someone almost slipped off and gave me a heart attack. I'll blame the jungle for being so slippery. Once we reached the level, we traveled on some branches that began to darken the surroundings with many leaves blocking out the moonlight. I made sure I had hold of his hand before continuing.
"You sure nothing will jump out at us?" He asked quietly.
"Aww, are you scared?" I teased. Soon my eyes glowed, making me be able to see in the dark.
"I'm not, but I'm just making sure." He grumbled quietly.
"Nothing will, this place is supposed to be well hidden." I whispered. Soon I saw the light at the end of the leaf tunnel.
"We'll let's just see about that." He spat.
"You don't trust me?" I asked, raising a brow and letting his hand go.
"I do. However, you sure no creature found this place?" He asked.
"... I really can't be sure of that. Well let's just see if maybe, no one is there..?" I said nervously.
At last, we arrived and I could see that no creature was there. Perfect. The large area had a thick layer of leaves that act as a platform. The edges were covered by leaves that extended at least 15 feet above the flat. However, in the large center, it's where you get to see the stars at night. And it's so beautiful viewing almost all of them at once. I ended up walking forward, not halting my steps to wait for Dipper. I stopped once I arrived in the center, staring up at the starry night sky. The stars sparkle so pretty. "Oh my god." I jerked my head over to the brunet, smiling when he was staring up at the sky with an astonished expression. " How... how did you find this place?!"
"Oh. I just happen to come across this place a year ago when I was trying to find something new." I answered, shrugging slightly. I watched him slowly swirl as he tries to collect the stars in his eyes. I turned my gaze up to the sky, forgetting how beautiful this place was.
"Well, I'm actually quite interested to see if I can spot all of the stars now." He said.
"Even The Big Dipper?" I asked, looking back at him.
"... Not quite sure about that one. I can try." He said.
"It's always worth a shot." I said before sitting down on the leaves platform. I lay out my legs and lean back with my arms holding me up. I stared up at the night sky.
"Did you bring me here because of my birthmark?" He asked, raising a brow.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Yep." He narrowed his eyes before walking over to me. "... I see." He muttered, sitting next to me. I slowly drop the smile and stared at him with a look. "That's all?"
"Did you expect something else?" He asked, giving me a look.
"Yes. I did. But now, I don't." I said, looking away annoyed.
"...Mr. moody pants much..." I heard him grumble. I jerked my head over at his response
"Moody pants?" I said, narrowing my eyes.
"One moment your happy, the next your annoyed. What do you think?" He said, glaring at me.
"Don't question my mood switches!" I hissed.
"Don't get mad at me!" He snapped. Snappy much? "No offense, but you shouldn't be so defensive of something that could be brushed off easily." He added on.
"Brush off? Then why do you bring it up?" I said.
"I didn't bring it up-"
"Yes, you did." I snapped, making the atmosphere around me this dark, scary aura. He looked away and stared down at the leaves. "Okay, my mistake, I forgot I did." He muttered, lowering the irritation in his voice.
"Thank you." I grumbled. I saw him roll his eyes as I looked away.
"You're welcome, Princey." He said quietly.
"Princey?!" I said, turning back to him in a surprised expression.
"Turn off the scary atmosphere and I'll tell you why." He said. I haven't even noticed he was shaking in fear. I did just that as I gave my full attention. Dipper let out a sigh. "You always wanted your way like a royal." He said.
"I wouldn't call myself a royal. Ew." I said, appearing to be disgusted at the idea. "I'm too rebellious to be one."
"Alright, whatever you say." He said, turning his gaze back to the night sky.
"Does that mean you think-"
"Yes, Princey." He said, letting out a snicker at the end.
"Oh. Aren't you having fun at this!" I hissed, annoyed at him.
"I guess the tiles have switched then." He chuckled. I narrowed my eyes, grumbling to myself silently. A thought appeared on my mind, making me smirk and forget about what happened a second ago.
"They have not switched yet." I said.
"What do you mean?" Dipper said, looking confused.
"You can never win at my own games." I said, smirking afterward.
He raised his brows, appearing surprised before dropping into an annoyed expression, mixing with a bit of confidence. "I believe I can."
"Oh? Can you?" I said, raising a brow.
"I just did several seconds ago." He said. I saw the proudness rise up within him slowly.
"Alright, I'll give you that. But, could you continue it with your confidence?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.
"... No ...?" He said slowly, his proudness dropping. At the same time, his voice cracked.
I snickered. "That's why I said you can't ever win at my games." I smirked.
"I can still try." He said.
"I'd like to see you try." I said, taunting him.
"... Well, uh...- wait now?" He asked, looking nervous.
"Duh. I'm not waiting until later or the next day. Show me that you can beat me at my games." I said.
"Um... I wasn't prepared for this." He quickly said, looking away.
"Don't think, it's not a thing that you need to use strategy." I said.
"I do! I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeves! I have to think ahead if I'm willing to outsmart you." He said, gazing back at me.
" 'Outsmart me?' " I raised a brow, crossing my arms. "I mean... If you think, your giving away your plan-"
"Don't. Cheat. What did I tell you before?" He interrupted me.
"... There are no rules to my games, which means I can cheat whenever I want to." I said.
"You're not making this fair." He grumbled.
"I can't help it. I'd rather go with the flow instead of trying to pretend as if I don't know what you're doing." I said.
"... You know ... it's better that way, right?" He asked slowly, turning his gaze away. I saw a spark of guilt within him.
"It is for most cases. Why, what's your point there?" I asked, curiosity sparking within me.
"... I ... I just want to see if I could win over whatever this conversation was about. Now I see I won't." He said, resting his chin on his knees. I let out a quiet snicker and scooted closer to him.
"Where did that confidence go? You're willing to give up so easily?" I asked.
"I don't know at this point." He said, frowning.
"Aww, I kind of thought you wouldn't give up. I guess I won this time around?" I asked.
"... I guess you did." He said in defeat. "I swear, I had you in the first round."
"You almost did, better luck next time." I chirped.
"Now, I want a little prize from you." I said.
"Of course, you do." He said, lifting up his head. "What would it be this time?" He asked, turning to me.
"Oh, I think you know what it is.~" I smirked. He leaned back a bit, having a regretful face before sighing. "I should've known." He said.
"Besides, here's the bonus, we're not in front of the school's entrance. So... we can have the time of our lives at this moment." I said. "And you don't have to worry about anything." I saw his face slowly turn red in an instant.
" 'Time of our lives'... I really don't know what's up in your mind." He said, smiling afterward.
"You don't know?" I said.
"OH, I do. I just wonder why you needed to be the first dirty one I came across." He said. I snorted, enjoying whatever comes out of his mouth.
"Not like you're the last one." I said.
"True... So, are you going to kiss me or are we just going to chit chat?" He asked. "I mean we could go-" I didn't bother to listen to him anymore. I decided to pull him closer to me so I could land a kiss. I successfully did, like always. Unfortunately, it ended up feeling so tentative that I had to make it short and sweet. I began to part away only to be grabbed by the collar of my shirt. "Don't you dare disappoint me like you did last time." I heard Dipper whisper, making me grow surprised. In an instant, I was pulled back into the kiss. I would never expect this move from him. Infact, I'm already sinking deep into his wishes, ignoring everything around me and taking in this chance.
I felt none of that hesitation from him this time, infact, kissing him made me think he was a different person. I could sense that sudden desperation bursting within him, making me deepened the kiss with an intense sensation. In addition to that, my hands found themselves onto his back, underneath his shirt. Once they did so, I heard the softest, quiet noises from him. Although, it did sound like he was trying to hold it in. This made me pull his shirt up slowly, attempting to get another reaction out of him. I wanted to hear it so badly, never once I heard those tiny moans out of him before.
Something made me snap back to what was happening around and within me. I never even realize how fast my heart was beating. Or how breathless I was. Despite all of this, I parted from his lips, leaning back a bit to catch my breath. "You okay?" I heard him ask quietly. I nodded slowly. "Didn't realize I was running out of breath." I whispered quietly. I swear, I wished I never pulled away from him. I hate myself for that. I sighed quietly and looked at the frozen, red face brunet in front of me. "... I... I'm glad ... I caught myself..." He whispered quietly, looking down.
"Huh? What happened if you didn't...?" I asked quietly. Why would you catch yourself? We could have gone down further...
"... I know ... we were in the moment ... but I ... I just didn't want to release whatever is burning deep within me." He whispered quietly.
"You could have ... You did several seconds ago. And to be honest, it was the best moment I had." I said quietly.
"... Of course you would say that!" He said, looking back up at me with a shocked look. I smirked, a smug expression spread across my face.
"What could I say?" I whispered. "Besides, did I disappoint you?" He looked away from me, growing more redder. As silence went by, I asked again in a different way. "If I did disappoint you we could continue if that's what you like." He shut his eyes, as panic rose within him. He sank into the silence that went by once more. "What is your choice, Dipper? Do I have to make the decision myself?"
He opened his eyes and looked up at me, shaking his head. "You don't have to at all."
"Oh, I think I do." I said, leaning in slowly.
"N-no you don't..." He said quietly, his voice almost fading.
"Stop resisting and let yourself be free." I said. "It'll be better that way, and I'll give you the pleasure you want."
"... Fine... I'll stop holding back." He whispered quietly.
"You better give it all you got. I don't-" I was shortly cut off by his lips touching with mine. And already, this kiss was much more thrilling than the first two. It was like he's finally giving it all, without the need of my part. I wouldn't allow this to be a waste, not now, not ever. I didn't even notice his hands were exploring my body. As well as the small amounts of pleasure that was shooting within me. This much of a surprise was all I need for tonight.
