I know it's been over a year since I updated but I will update more. With all the Covid-19 stuff going on, I've been busy with work and school and as for not updating all last year, my only excuse is school. It was a rough year.

I forgot if I explained this or not and I've gotten some questions about it but, Bill is about 8-10 years older. Dipper was around 8 when they first met and Ford was about 30 years older than Bill. They met through work circumstances and that's how they became friends. Bill is NOT a 40 or 50 year old trying to date a 18 year old. No. I wouldn't do that. Also, I skipped the letter F for a reason, you'll find out later. I kind of forgot the plot a bit for this book but I didn't even really have a plot for it in the first place so now I have a lot more room to change things up so, things might get confusing because I'm going my own path than what 2 years ago me was going.

Also, if you're into a new, realistic, gay book please check out my book Pink Peony! If you're into BTS and ship them, please go check it out!

Dipper's POV

"Wake up." A voice softly whispered in my ear, nibbling it slightly.

"Nooooooo." I groaned, rolling over, dragging a pillow with me to cover my ears.

"If you don't get up, I'll punish you." Bill warned, sitting on top of me.

A rush of embarrassment flooded me and I squeaked, rolling over to face him. "I-I'm up so...... please get off of me!" I unconsciously shoved Bill off, causing him to fall backwards.

"Ow......" he muttered, looking up at me in annoyance. His frown soon turned into a smirk though, as he stood up.

"W-wait." I said, putting my hands up in defense.

Bill lunged at me with a smile, starting to tickle me. I cried out with laughter, spasing out and trying to defend myself, tears of laughter starting to form from the pure euphoria I felt.

Out of no where, rapid foot steps ran into the room and Mabel ran in, tossing a handful of glitter over us.

"IT'S THE GLITTER OF GAYNESS!!!" Mabel yelled and I shoved Bill off of me as we were showered in rainbow glitter.

"The hell?" Bill asked, looking up as the glitter raining down on us.

"I think we summoned her with our laughter." I replied, watching to see how this all played out.

"You two are so adorable!" Mabel exclaimed, staring at us. "I need to make you two matching shirts!! Eeeekkkk! They can say 'Gay and Proud'! Ooooo! Or I could do 'I'm his'! They're just too cool, I think I'll do both."

Mabel's rambling was already giving me a headache and, plus, it was too embaressing, what she was saying.

"What the hell Mabel?" I asked, looking up at her.

"What do you mean 'what the hell?' I'm shipping you two! This would be great for a fanfiction." She said, bubbly as she slipped out of the room, scattering her gay glitter everywhere.

Bill let out a sigh and sat up, letting out an awkward cough. I soon followed in tow, resting on my elbows.

"So....... um....... do you want to eat breakfast?" I asked awkwardly, unsure on what to do after my sister just stormed in and within seconds, rambled on about how we were adorable together before dissapearing as fast as she came.

Bill nodded in return, getting up and stretching, adjusting his eyepatch to fit in a more comfortable position.

I tilted my head at this, still not really know why he wore an eyepatch despite have both eyes in perfect working condition.

"Bill, why do you wear an eyepatch if you have both eyes?" I asked, the question just slipping out of my mouth. I've already confirmed for myself that he has another uninjured eye so why would he try and hide it with his hair or with an eyepatch?

Bill paused from his position by the door, turning back at me. "We're not close enough for me to explain myself to you..... but, maybe if you initiated a bit and took things more seriously, maybe I would." Bill replied, walking out of the already open door.

"More serious? What does he mean?" Wasn't I being serious enough? Even though I didn't even want to live or be in the care of Bill, I did it because it was what my uncle wanted. And I was letting him have his way because I was being serious about some type of relationship.

Although I'm not even sure if romantic feelings had developed inside of me, I at least was allowing for the possibility, even if all Bill wanted to do was lay his hands all over me.

How much more serious does he want me to be?

Shuffling down towards the kitchen and walking down the stairs, I sat down at the table while Mabel was making a questionable breakfast."What are you even making?" I asked her, Bill pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"I'm making unicorn food of course! For my favorite gay brother." Mabel said, although it more looked like a middle of rainbow puke.

She was probably mixing pancake mix with as much sprinkles and color mix as she could lay her hands on but it didn't look appetizing at all.

"Would you stop saying that? I'm not gay and it's rude to assume." I said, leaning back in the wood chair in which she walked over to me and poked my cheek with a grin."Then why were you two having fun last night and sharing a bed? Huh, huh? You stopped sharing a bed with me, your favorite sibling in the whole world years ago but now you share a bed with Bill!"

Bill let out a small hmf of amusement, turning to face the window, pretending as if he wasn't listening in on the conversation.

"Pinetree, work starts in an hour, you better hurry. Just because I'm taking care of you doesn't mean I'm still not your boss." Bill said, grabbing his coat and whistling as he headed for the door."I'll wait in the car for you for 30 minutes, if you're late, I'm leaving without you." He called, his coffee in hand as I heard the door open and then close.

"This is so interesting! I get to watch the sparks of love ignite in you two!" She squealed like a school girl.

"Mabel, grow up." I said, putting my hand to her face and pushing it away, being only inches from my own.

"I am a grown up and I am going to work right now. You should be the one to grow up, Dipper. Stop being afraid and just do what you want. Even if you don't like Bill, you should still act like a normal human being around him. Only children would be flustered and awkward around someone who likes them." Mabel huffed before smugly speaking about how I was like a child.

"I'm not a child." I resorted, getting up to make something actually edible, like eggs.

"You are! Just because Bill is giving you all this attention, you're getting all flustered. And because you state you don't like him, it proves it's even more childish. If a women flirted with you, would you get flustered? Probably."

I rolled my eyes at her. How could she compare the two? Bill was older and our uncle practically gave him permission to marry Mable or I for some god forsaken odd reason and he was hitting on me hard. How could I not get flustered at someone coming into me like Bill has been?

"Just shut up, okay? Go to work you crazy kid." I said, ruffling her hair in which she playfully punched me but it hurt. She punches hard.

"Okay! Have fun with Bill all day. And try not to make out in his office. Or, if you do, tell me all about it!" She called, heading out the door, leaving her rainbow mess of goo behind.

Mabel worked at a daycare with children, which seemed to really fit her, considering her own childish nature. It seemed to make her happy..... while I was stuck with insane patients who started deadly food fights.

I cleaned up the mess, deciding just to skip breakfast and headed upstairs, skipping on a red T-shirt and my hoodie, one that my parents gave me a long time ago.

Grabbing a cup of coffee with some milk and sugar, I rushed to Bill's car, knowing my time was almost up. "About time, Pinetree, you're very slow." Bill said, starting up the car engine.

I stared at him for a brief moment, thinking about what Mabel had said about being childish and immature. 'Am I being immature?  I guess I haven't committed to anything while Bill has tried. And I have been acting a bit inconsiderate. But Bill's older than me, our relationship would almost be illegal and Mabel is calling me immature? I can't deny that Bill is a nice guy and he's done a lot for Mabel and I, me more specifically. But I can't just agree and start a relationship with him just because our uncles wanted someone to take care of us. We're not in medieval times where people would be married off for the protection of the family.'

"Pinetree, you think too much, focus on the present, okay?" Bill said as I hadn't even noticed that we were already on the road.

It was almost as if he was talking about what I was just thinking. But people can't read others minds. "Yeah, you're right...... there's no time like the present, right?" Bill certainly was an odd character and I do admit to myself that I like him a small bit but our worlds are completely different.

I think I'm going to go through the book again and change hinges because I'm 90% sure the plot doesn't make sense anymore, most likely due to writing this book so sporadically, so I'll update you guys when I fix it if you guys are even interested in the book anymore.

As for explaining the marriage thingy...... I was young when I said that but I'm going to just go with it and try to justify it. I think I'm going to just say that Ford wanted to make sure the twins had someone to turn to. The Pines really only have each other and so adding another person who is willing and capable of helping them in need would be nice. And Ford knowing Bill, he knew he'd want at least something in return. If one of the twins falls in love with Bill, Ford gave Bill his blessing to marry them.

Anyways, I am VERY sorry about a year long Hitaus but it's difficult to write when you have school, work, and parents breathing down your neck who would take away Wattpad if they knew you had it so........
