Dipper

Isn't funny how the life we live for has an outcome that you might never expect anyone or anything that happens out of thin air?

Well to me it doesn't.

Having a demon doritos as a 'boyfriend' while trying to hide him from the world. I was supposed to relax as I work around the Shack without any problem instead of this!?

I already got an argument with Mabel to prove my point and now this happens!?

"W-what?", I shudder looking back at Bill.

He blurted out once more, "date me"

It's been the second day and now he wants me to go on date with him.

Why me...

I tried to walk away from him as he follows behind—explaining his reason for this nonsense.

I don't understand why he wants us to do this? I mean, is being together is not enough? For me, I believe that this can confirm this so-called 'relationship'.

"Come on, Pinetree", grabbing one of my arms before grabbing both to face me, "we have nothing else to do in this old shack, and besides, we're not getting younger".

"Bill, please. I'm busy-"

"With what? We both know that you're making an excuse"

I scotch his idea as I shift my arm away from his hand before walking off. When is he going to learn that I'm not interested in this and that the only reason for doing this is to protect the things that I cherish all my life.

Ha...cherish? That's a good one.

_¿?_

"Date me"

"Bill, no!", I shout; moving away from him. It has been twenty-five minutes since Bill left me alone before starting to ask me the same question again.

It gets annoying how he doesn't get the meaning of the word 'no'. Like seriously, I'm dealing with a toddler that's trap with a young adult body.

Bill—once's again—sigh in frustration and start walking away, leaving me alone in peace.

Finally

_¿?_

What the hell...?

I look around in confusion.

Why am I in the forest? I don't remember walking out of the Shack.

I tried to recall my event, but it all leads to a blank.

After Bill left, I pick up the book from the shelf before I laying myself down on the bed and start reading. Each word I read, turns the pages over to the next as time passes by.

That's all I remember.

Moving around was a pain since I realized that I was tied up along with the chair. The one thing I see was nothing but the dark moonlight.

It wasn't a surprise since I knew who could've done this, which reminds me...

"Bill, what the hell", I said as he appeared from the other side along with a table full of cover plates and candles. I also knew that I couldn't escape from this. No matter how I tried, Bill will—almost—get want he wants, which annoys me.

"I see you're getting yourself comfortable"

"Comfortable my-", he put his finger to my lip as he shushes me; saying that I talk too much.

...

I barely woke up!

"Now, Pinetree. You don't have to be rude about it", he said as if he did nothing wrong.

"Besides, we're on a date. Isn't the night beautiful?"

I tried calling out his name, but—being the Bill that he is—won't listen.

"I love your suit, Pinetree~"

"Bill! Untied me!", I yelled as I shift once again. This is ridiculous!

I kept going as Bill snap his figure, which causes our plates to be filled with food—well if you count Bill's dish a food.

"Come on, Pinetree. Don't be like that", he pauses for a moment before continuing, "besides, you should at least be happy that I'm not hurting anyone, right?"

"And believe me, you do know what happens when I don't get part of the deal"

I stop moving for a moment and shout, "I don't even know what part of the deal is, Bill? You haven't told me anything besides 'helping you' bullshit"

"You are helping me"

"With what!", I ask before he raised both of his hand and said, "this"

I didn't quite get what he's saying but as I felt a snap from my head, he smiles.

"Now, let's eat!"

....

....

....

....

"Bill"

"Yes, Pinetree?"

"Can you at least untied me for once?!"

_¿?_

"Say ahh~"

"...Bill no"

I can't believe this is happening, but overall, it wasn't so bad.

Well, except this...

"I'm not trying your damn food!",  I yelled; pushing—or at least tried—away from his so-called-food.

Bill kept persuading me to eat it, but I can't deny the way how it's looks. You cannot tell me that his food looks more like human guts. Oh god! I think one of them moves.

"Pinetree, it's not what you think it is. If you can just", he struggled before successfully force his food into my mouth, "trust. Me!"

"...."

"Well?", he asks while seeing me chew in silence.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that dish that he force served was surprisingly good.

"See~ I knew you'll like it!", he smiles proudly.

I rolled my eyes before continuing to eat my food.

The time that we spend together was amazing. Who knew that hanging out with the know-it-all demon could be fun (besides the kidnapping part).

We talk and laugh back at all the things that happen to us back then.

"Hey, Pinetree. Remember the time that I shot your stomach in your uncle's mind, and you were all like freaking out?"

"I wasn't freaking out"

"Oh really?", he said before he snaps his fingers to show a small—but easy see—clip of us; repeating the same action until it changes a different scene.

I glance at him as he replied, "oh look, remember the facial expression that I made as you?"

He laughs loudly for a while before he slowly calms himself down.

I shook it off as we continue. The more we talk, I realized something that never secured me.

Out of anyone, why me?

I'm nothing special.

I didn't have anything in life that I wanted besides going to Gravity Falls.

I mean, Bill should've found someone else rather than me.

Besides, I can't give him anything other than freedom.

"But that's when you are wrong, Pinetree"

I stared at him as he continues, "sure, I would've found someone else to make a deal with, but that person would have something that you have."

"Which is?", I ask.

He quietly thought about it before answer, "maybe another time, Pinetree."

I didn't know why he ignored my question, but I guess I can wait. After all, I have time.

For the rest of the evening, they enjoy themselves. Not noticing that this night may bring them close to each other.
