Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls . Such a shame .

What was he supposed to think ? He had found her nose snuggled into his jacket - the one she had ridiculed for the entire summer - with a face of pure bliss ! Then she had the nerve to just run away !

" If you keep on tugging on your hair you'll go bald , Patz. " Gal chewed on her pencil .

He groaned in response before rolling off his bed . " You haven't seen my jacket , have you ?"

" Nope. Check your drawer ."

He rifled through , his fear being confirmed . " I'm going to have to go ...out ."

" Out ?" She raised a brow .

" Yes . Definitely . Absolutely .No way around it ." He sprinted towards the door .

She shook her head and flipped out her cellphone , preparing for the spew of updates on she was about to receive from Abel . This just might get interesting.

Dipper recalled several phrases uttered by her Grunkle Stan whenever someone was going through a rough patch . " Pull yourself up by your bootstraps . When the going gets tough , the tough get going ." Dipper used to believe in that , but now she could tell it was completely garbage advice . Where should she "go" exactly? To face Northwest-Pacific , after that ? No , she far preferred not moving from her bed for the majority of the day (not even accepting breakfast ) , his jacket and scent engulfing her in a comfort from the reality she really didn't want to face . But it proved to be poor protection a few moments later .

The door forcefully swung open , and their eye contact was somehow even more strained the second time around .Dipper realized that perhaps sleeping with the jacket suggested even more than her previous actions , and even she couldn't control her blush .

" I thought that even your parents would teach you it's impolite to enter a girl's bedroom without asking , Northwest ." Even then her voice was hoarse .

" I'm sick of this , Gleeful . You like me , right ? " He stepped forward .

She scowled . " I don't -"

He rolled his eyes ." This is stupid ! What are we even fighting over ? The journal , our pride? What? " He gestured to the jacket she had tried to stuff under the covers . " I at least want you to say it !"

" Say what ?"

" Perhaps you don't hate me as much as you say you do ." He stood before her . " Maybe you're just a good actor , acting like you don't l-"

It was as for a few seconds , her body moved without her consent and she found that their lips had been slammed together , his shirt curled in her fists while she screwed her eyes shut . He tensed in her tight grasp , and she was sure he was about to jump back in disgust any moment now .

Well then , she best make every moment count .

She probably tugged too hard on his hair and her teeth nearly clashed with his , but at the moment she didn't care less .Then , he did the last thing she expected. He flushed his body even closer and kissed back with equal vigor . Their hands struggled to find their places while their mouths molded into each other . She opened her mouth and -

He took a step back , hands on her shoulders to keep her at distance . She honestly couldn't say she was surprised he wanted to stop , she had been fortunate to get this far . He frowned down at her , his mouth opening to say something . Her normally straight posture slouched and she prepared for the worst .

" Not bad , for what I can assume is your first time ."

Her mouth opened for a few seconds before she put her hand to your amulet ( she never slept without it )I and threw his jacket into his face .

" That's hardly a way to treat ...a lady , Northwest . In fact , I've changed my mind ."

" I think I have too . Who knew you'd be so rough , Gleeful ."

Soon Dipper was throwing more things than his jacket at him , with him reciprocating , but it was completely void of mean spirit .

There's a first time for everything . She mused . She prayed it would stay that way .

AN: First time writing a kiss scene! Though I'm certainly getting in practice for a future chapter …

I freaking love love/hate relationships and rivalries . If you noticed I upped the rating , it's because I want to have the flexibility that comes with a higher one . I don't really curse much IRL , but being able to occasionally is nice . And to be brutally honest , writing Dipcific just inspires a sense of sexual tension . Well , enough of that!
