Dipper lay, facedown, on the hard wood floor of his apartment. He wore only his boxers and a tank top, with a cool rag around his neck. He was scrolling on his phone, trying to stave off the unending boredom and heat of the summer.

Sometimes, he really hates days off.

The unfortunate truth of the matter was that Dipper had no social life, and therefore spend most of his time off eating, watching TV, and on his phone. Normally, he's fine with that. The problem at this point is that his air conditioner broke, and it was hot as hell.

That's probably the only reason that, when he received the message from Cipher asking if he wanted to go get ice cream, he actually considered accepting. On one hand, he had to put on pants, go out in public with other people, and had to socialize with Cipher. On the other, ice cream.

He accepted.


When Bill sent Dipper that text, he was actually half joking. He had no way of knowing that his partner would actually accept.

B: Damn, it's hot. Wanna get ice cream w/ me?

4:50

D: Sure, but only if ur paying.

4: 52

B: Wow, the cave man emerges! Lol. Of course i'll pay. I'm a gentleman, after all.


Maybe 5 in the evening was kind of a strange time to get ice cream, but whatever. It was good ice cream anyway.

One thing Bill learned, though, is that Dipper could eat you out of house and home if you let him. He went home with his wallet considerably lighter, and a considerable amount of selfies with his partner.


Hi guys, sorry for the long absence. I'm dealing with some crazy stuff at home rn. I have also been experiencing some crazy writers block lol. I forced this out to try and break through. Enjoy! :)
