( Bill's POV )

"It was really cool, trust me," Mabel nudged me against my ribs and smiled, as I put a spoonful of heaped mashed cheese potatoes in my mouth.

I looked at her.

"No it isn't! And anyway I don't even want to hang out with them, I want to go out with you for lunch, not them..."

She snatched my spoon from my mouth, before spooning another large spoon of the delicious potatoes and eating it.

The mashed cheese potatoes taste so good.

It has been 3 days since that event.

That day in the dining hall.

From that day, I've been stuck around them. In by that, I was forced to start hanging out with them. People have started noticing me. I don't like this newfound attention.

I want to go back to the past. To the past, just three days ago. I didn't like this.

I wanted things to go back to how it was. I regretted joining them.

It's funny how things can suddenly change within a mere three days. I couldn't even go with Shooting Star for lunch as before.

Or it was more of her rejecting me and telling me to 'grasp the chance to make friends while you can'. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike them, but I didn't feel like spending time with them. I still like basketball and everything, and I believe I've a newfound passion for this sport.

If you don't understand, ask yourself. If a demon fell in love with a girl and actually became a human because of her, why would the demon want to spend time with a bunch of other humans? Wouldn't he want to spend 24/7 of his time with the one he loves?

However, she made it clear that this would help me in my future and this is for my good. She has been saying that many times. But since I didn't want to disappoint her, I listened.

And now it's only on weekends like these that I can spend quality time with her.

We were on the way home with a big bag of snacks. Mostly cheesy snacks, just as she likes it.

We arrived home shortly after, and Mabel just ran up to her room. I ran after her.

Dipper was in the room, doing his work, writing something diligently in his workbook. Probably making notes for his schoolwork. He seemed so focused, it was no wonder he excelled in his studies.

"Dip, out of the room you go! We want to watch a movie!" Mabel poked him repeatedly and he sighed in annoyance.

"I need to study for the test, you get out."

She rolled her eyes adorably.

"Scissors, paper, stone!" She exclaimed. With a sigh of annoyance, Dipper finally lifted his gaze from his work and looked at his sister in the eye, with his palm behind his head, ready.

"Scissors, paper, stone!"

She put out a rock and him, a scissors.

She exclaimed in joy and he groaned.

"Fine." He took his stuff and exited the room in defeat. We exchanged a glance, and I gave a shrug. He smirked.

Mabel grinned at me and jumped on her bed. Smiling, I strolled over to her and took a seat next to her while she took out a portable TV and began setting up.

(lets just assume that there's a TV in front of mabel's bed, like a cinema)

I leaned against the wall, looking around. It seemed so vaguely familiar, like a throwback to back before I was human. Those times.

"I'm done!" She said after a while and she grabbed a blanket and cheese flavoured potato chips.

When she was finally done, I wrapped my hand around her waist and pulled her closer towards me. She squealed, but didn't say anything, and wrapped the two of us in the blanket. I could feel her snuggling against me as she made herself comfortable. My hand remained      around her, and she interlocked my hand with hers.

It was a sad and touching movie, about the story of a broken love couple. Basically it was a sad romance and I must admit, it managed to pull my heartstrings. I felt sympathy for the main lead character.

Using my free hand, I would feed Shooting Star with chips before I popped a few in my mouth. She would muffle words of 'thank you's.

However, near the end of the movie, when the main leading role was at her most depressing moment of her life, I heard sniffles.

I looked down at her, and I could see her wiping away tears with the blanket. My heart skipped a beat.

Her grip on my hand tightened when she tried to breathe deeply and control her sobs.

Instinctively, I hugged her tighter, and rested my head on hers. She laughed softly, and I could smell the faint fresh, flowery fragrance of her hair, and body.

Throughout the rest of movie, I placed my other hand over her, just like how one would cuddle their favourite pillow. I got a bit carried away and squeezed her, but not too tightly, just enough for me to feel like I wanted to stay like this with her forever. I couldn't focus on the movie anymore.

The movie ended on a low note, with the main lead commuting suicide. A sad melody played as the ending credits rolled out.

I could feel the hot tears leaking out from her eyes as it went onto my hand. Shooting Star wasn't crying, but she couldn't stop tearing. She was tearing silently.

I placed a hand on her cheek, feeling the tears flow down. I stroked her cheek tenderly, reminding me of the past. A lot of things have been reminding me of the past.

I stroked her face for a while, feeling the comforting silence. My hand was wet with her tears but it didn't matter.

After a while, when her tears have finally stopped, I leant down.

"It's okay Mabel, it's just a movie," I whispered into her ear, mending her broken heart.

I stayed there for a moment, and pressed my cheek onto hers, my cheeks getting wet as well. I could feel her face forming a smile, and I smiled back. She entwined her legs with mine, and I pulled my legs to a crossed legged position.

I could hear her breathing. I was that close.

"Bill,"

"Will we be like them?" Her voice came out as a scared whisper, like the sound of a timid animal, like the sound of a sheep against a wolf.

"No we will not." I said it too quickly, making me seem defensive about it.

"Of course we wouldn't. You will forever and always be in my heart. I won't replace anyone with you. I promise." I whispered, much slower this time.

I could feel her trembling slightly as I finished every sentence. I was probably tickling her too much.

We remained silent for a while.

She turned her head slightly, facing me.   Her eyes were still red, but she was still as beautiful.

"I trust you." She looked at me, with her doe eyes looking innocently at me.

Closing her eyes, she closed what little gap between us and sealed our promise for each other.

With her soft, warm lips on mine, I could feel the taste her slightly salty tears.

Her cheeks were wet with tears, but I still liked every part of her face.

Our tongues interlocked for a brief moment. Afterwards, I planted kisses at the corner of her lips and stayed there, feeling her breath fanning my face. 

As she leant her weight on me and her grip loosened, I knew that she had fallen asleep.
