"Oh, c'mon Bill. This isn't that hard."
He groaned. "I have no idea what I'm doing Shooting Star! Cut me some slack, would ya?!"
Mabel sighed. She'd been trying for nearly an hour to teach Bill how to kiss for this date she'd gotten for him (Dipper didn't want to go on a date with Pacifica alone just yet, so she did him a favor.).
This was a chance for Bill to learn that you can't solve all your problems by setting them on fire, as well as to learn about human society a little bit.
The demon was being less then cooperative.
"No, I won't, because you're being very difficult."
"Why do I have to do this, anyway? You know I don't get along with Pine Tree."
"You live in the same house with him, Bill. You two need to find some common ground." she said. "Besides, you're my BFF. You could at least do it for me."
He hummed. "…maybe."
"So! Let's try one more time." she said cheerfully, shoving a puppet in his face. Bill sighed, grumbling "fine" under his breath and closing his eyes. He'd lean foward just a little bit when he paused.
"Actually," he said, sitting up, opening his eyes, and taking the puppet and setting it aside, "I have a better idea."
Mabel blinked. "Really? What?"
A smirk crossed his caramell-colored face. "Close your eyes."
She blushed. "U-Uh… okay…" she compiled, shutting her eyes.
It was only when she his warm, soft lips on hers and his hand resting on her knee that Mabel realized what had happened. Man, she walked right into that one.
That didn't matter now, though, she realized. She also realized that 1) wow, he was a really good kisser and 2) she was kissing her best friend.
Oh god.
She was kissing her best friend.
Mabel, in a panic, thought that maybe she should push him away, but when she made a slight bit of effort, he moved, and pulled her in closer. But the longer they kissed, Mabel felt herself sinking into a lulled sense of half-sleepiness.
Next thing she knew, she had been put flat on her back and his hand was on her thigh.
Bill choose then to pull away.
They gazed at each other for a moment, then he smirked inn that cocky way he always did, winked at her and sat back up. "Whew. That was way better than I thought it'd ever be."
Mabel lied there in shock. She was still trying to wrap her head around the situation.
Bill chuckled. "Well! guess I'll be off then! Don't wanna ruin Pine Tree's big night , right?" he stood and proceeded towords the door. "Oh, by the by, Star," he began, "I knew exactally what I was doing. I just wanted to kiss ya."
Then, he left.
Mabel could only blink.
…what the hell was that?
