Dipper slowly opened his eyes to see the blondie laying next to him with his eye already opened and the other covered by the black eye patch.
"Hey, Pine tree." Bill whispered softly kissing Dipper's lips.
"Hey." Dipper answered still sleepy.
Dipper had already grown used to this routine. After all that happened he knew him and Bill couldn't stay in Gravity Falls. The only answer was to move away and forget all that happened or one of them would get killed and Dipper wasn't willing to wait to find out who it would be. So they now lived out of the small town, together in a small apartment. They lived a quiet and yet happy life.
Dipper got up and walked towards the kitchen already smelling pancakes and bacon. Bill's pancakes had become perhaps one of his favorite dishes ever. As he was close to the door, Dipper felt Bill's hands wrapping around his waist and pulling him away. His socks slipped on the floor easily.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Dipper said in a fake anger.
"Trying to get you to the floor!" Bill said shoving him playfully.
"So this is how it's going to be?" Dipper asked raising his eyebrow and sliding next to Bill shoving him too.
The one thing that convinced Bill to buy that apartment was that the floor was incredibly slippery if you were wearing socks and they kept playing with that.
As they were playfully shoving each other and racing each other to various points of the house Bill fell to the floor.
"Oh my God! Are you okay?!" Dipper asked grabbing his hand.
"You know, Pine tree, for someone who isn't religious you day the holy name quiet a lot." Bill commented laughing and grabbing Dipper's foot pulling him to the floor.
"You are such a jerk!" Dipper exclaimed laughing.
Bill pulled Dipper's foot closer to him eyes.
"Wait are these my socks?!" He questioned examining the other boy's foot.
"No..." Dipper answered immediately turning red.
"Then why is it too big for you?"
"I bought the wrong size?"
"You are adorable when you lie." Bill said pulling Dipper closer to himself and kissing him. "Also bigger socks is such an unfair move. Don't you take this competition seriously?"
"How dare you doubt my commitment to our sock olympics?!" Dipper replied faking being hurt.
They both laughed together. Dipper loved this, he wouldn't give this life up for anything.
Suddenly the doorbell rang and the smile quickly left Bill's lips. He stood up and helped Dipper up too. The Pines hadn't seen Bill look so worried in a long time.
"The pancakes are already on your plate but you might want to warm them up. There is strawberry syrup on the counter okay?" Bill said with a tiny smile and kissed Dipper's forehead before moving to the door.
The brunette boy quietly and slowly moved to the kitchen looking over at the door suspiciously. He couldn't quiet make out the person that knocked but whatever he was saying had made Bill incredibly pissed. He could almost see his boyfriend's eye turing red.
"I shouldn't be seeing this." Dipper thought to himself and quickly moved to the kitchen.

Bill walked inside the kitchen to see Dipper had almost finished his pancakes.
"I'm sorry it took so long. You can go on to watch Doctor Who without me." Bill commented trying to sound happy and failing miserably.
He sat on the stool next to Dipper. Since it was Sunday they always had breakfast, watched Doctor Who on BBC and went to either the library or the park.
"It's okay, I'd rather be here with you." Dipper said placing his hand on Bill's arm. "What's wrong? Who was that?"
"Just Mr. Bersen saying that the rent will go up next week because of a leak." Bill lied hoping Dipper didn't notice it.
"Bill." Dipper said softly placing his hand on his boyfriend's cheek and turning his face to look into his eye. "Who was that?"
Yeah, he noticed. Bill took a deep breath. Well the truth was bound to come out eventually.
"It was a client." Bill said in a small voice.
"A client? Dear, you are a stockbroker I don't think that's how it works." Dipper commented already looking a bit pissed off.
"It doesn't work like this. That's why he wasn't looking for stock." Bill said and got up walking slowly and quietly to the other side of the kitchen.
"Bill, what's happening?" Dipper questioned as he watched his boyfriend open a cabinet and bring out somethiNg in his closed hands.
"He was here for this." Bill simply answered putting a small bottle in front of Dipper.
The liquid inside the container Bill had handed Dipper seemed... weird. Something about it simply wasn't right. It was bright pink and it seemed like it could sparkle. Almost as if it were...
Dipper got up almost knocking down his chair.
"You are not doing this." He utter half shouting.
"Pine tree, I can explain-" Bill began apologizing just to be cut off by Dipper.
"Explain?! No you can not explain! Magic, Bill?! Seriously?! After everything we gave up, you go back to this?!" Dipper shouted waving the bottle in front of Bill. "I could be in Gravity Falls right now discovering the unknown and fulfilling the dream I had since I was 12, but not I gave it all up to be with you! We had a deal! No magic! Guess what I have been away from all that for five years and what have you done since then?!"
"Pine tree-"
"Don't even start." Dipper said heading for the door and leaving Bill behind without looking back.

Dipper sat on the park bench focussing on the wind blowing on his face. The city looked so beautiful on Sunday afternoons. So quiet and peaceful. Dipper slightly closed his eyes letting the wind take his thoughts away. He felt someone sitting next to him and he didn't need to open his eyes to know who it was. They stood quiet for a moment just taking in the scenery in their own way.
"Why did you leave?" Bill finally said in almost a whisper breaking the silence.
"What?" Dipper questioned finally opening his eyes to look at his demon.
Dipper couldn't deny it: Bill was the most beautiful piece in that whole scene.
"Why did you leave all of your childhood dreams to come here with me?" Bill questioned once again.
Dipper looked down, laughing at himself. He could picture the young Dipper finding Bill's statue. Of course, he was the one to find it. Of course, he had to shake the statue's hand. Of course, Bill had to come back.
"Because you became all of my dreams." Dipper responded once again looking in those bright yellow eyes that now seemed so human.
Bill looked down and for the first time ever Dipper thought he could se the demon looking sad.
"I truly and sorry about what I did, Pine tree. I'm sorry about everything. I should have left you alone to go live your life as it was intended." Bill said in almost a whisper.
"Hey, don't say that!" Dipper responded raising Bill's chin softly for him to look into his eyes. "Bill, if I had to relive my life in no case whatsoever would I not choose to come here and live with you. Yes, you screwed up but that's okay. I screw up to you know, but we can get over it. I'm not giving up on you now and I'm not giving up on you ever."
Bill opened a small smile and kissed his small little human.
"I'm never messing with magic again." He whispered so only Dipper could hear him.
"I know you won't." Dipper whispered back in a smile and pulled Bill into another kiss.
