Chapter 10: Playing Hard to Get

Recently....

Dipper really could make any girl fall for his charms, maybe even me.....

-----------------
As I waited backstage with my drink in my hand, it began to come to an end. Many cheered as the twins bowed on the stage, and many girls griping before leaving.

The twins slowly walked off stage as their crew pushed the props off into the backstage. Dipper's eyes glowed a bright, iridescent turquoise before returning to his original color as he walked towards me.

A smirk was placed upon his lips before he spoke," How'd you like the show?" Dipper asked.

I rolled my eyes," It was great up until I involuntarily became a volunteer." I chided with a smirk on my lips to match his.

Dipper chuckled before stuffing his hands in his pockets," Well I had to show you off a little bit, since you are new..." and I rolled my eyes once more.

"Show me off? As to what, your friend?" I say with a snicker.

I hear a giggle before noticing Mabel sauntering over to where we stood. "I told you someone would be happy to see you." She said to me. My eyes widened as I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and Dipper's chin on my shoulder.

"I think you're right," I reply with a snicker before looking at Dipper.

Mabel folded her arms over her chest," So when did you two become quite the couple?" She asked with a smirk on her lips.

I could feel red creeping up my cheeks and before I could reply, Dipper beat me to it," Well she was a little hesitant at first..." he said with a chuckle.

Raising my eyebrows, I look at him again, "Hesitant? Are you talking about the time I first met you? Which was only a few days ago." I said to him.

"Well...I...uh.." he stuttered, apparently I caught him in a little lie.

I snicker," Also I don't remember you asking me out on a date or even asking me to be your girlfriend, Mr. Gleeful...." I say with another snicker. Mabel covered her mouth with her hand to cover the laugh. I had caught her sneaky brother.

I could see a smirk begin to appear on his lips again," Well, (Y/n), I asked you to come to this, it counts as a date." Dipper replied, lifting his chin off my shoulder.

I roll my eyes," I guess I'll give you that, but we're still not together." I say with a giggle. Before I could say anything else, Dipper spun me around to face him.

I giggle once more," I see you want to talk to me face to face." I quickly say before I felt my body tip. Dipper's hand is wrapped around my waist whilst the other is around my back as he dipped me.

"Can I ask you something?" He says with a smirk as his eyes catch mine.

My face feels a little redder as I reply," Well it seems I don't have a choice to say no." A nervous smile appeared on my lips.

His eyes make their way to look into mine," Would you be my date at the Annual Gleeful Gala we have every year?" Dipper asks me.

My eyebrow raises," Is a formal gala?" I ask with a smile.

Dipper chuckles at my question, "No, it's a sweatshirt and yoga pants event." He replied in a sarcastic tone," Yes it's a formal event." Dipper finishes.

I giggle before replying," Sure Mr. Gleeful, I would love to go."

Dipper smiles before leaning closer to me," It's this Friday at 6, I'll come pick you up or you can get ready here with Mabel." He replied. It was almost as if he was going to kiss me until....

"Dipper! (Y/n)! Guess what I found!" Mabel screeched, it seems she quietly walked away while we were talking.

Dipper hesitated before he quickly brought me back up, he seemed a little agitated. "What is it, Mabel?" He asked, whilst keeping his arm around my waist.

"I found a new piece of eye candy!" Mabel exclaimed as she ran back stage.

"Eye candy?" I question and Dipper whispers to me," Boyfriend material." And I understand. She quickly ran up to us and ripped me out of his grasp.

"Come look, I need your opinion," she whispered to me before pulling me to the side of the curtains. Mabel opened the curtain a little bit so I could see out. People still crowded the tent, chatting to others.

She points to a boy around our age who had white hair underneath a pine tree hat. He wore an orange shirt and dark blue shorts. The boy seemed to be taller than me and Mabel.

"Isn't he just adorable?" Mable asked me with a smile placed on her lips.

I giggle," If you think he is, then yes." I reply," Are you going to go talk to him?" I ask her.

She nervously giggles," Well I don't know if I should but I really want to." Mabel replies.

Rolling my eyes I reply," You should, he should be more than eye candy." And I quickly shove her with my shoulder, where I almost shoved her out onto the stage.

"(Y/n)! Don't do that!" Mabel chides before playfully shoving me back.

"Just go talk to him, alright?" I reply before walking back over to where I was before. I could see Mabel sneak out of the side door from the backstage.

Dipper stood where I left him and was talking to the guy I saw earlier, who stood out front.

As I approached, Dipper began to introduce me," Stan, this is (y/n) who's new to Reverse Falls and she's a ..." he looks at me and I smile," friend of mine..." he finished and I giggle.

Stan grins a crooked grin," It's nice to meet you, (y/n). Welcome to Reverse Falls." He replied as I shook his hand.

His other hand was preoccupied with a cane. He was a quite a peculiar fellow, Stan wore a fez on his head with a five-point star on it and had an eyepatch covering one of his eyes.

Stan began to walk away and I leaned towards Dipper," How is he related to you two? Is he like a father or something?" I ask.

Dipper chuckles," Oh no, he's our uncle. He helps us with our show every year and we also live with him. Basically he uses our money to buy stupid things." He whispers.

"You don't sound to fond of him," I reply.

He rolls his eyes," He pisses me off from time to time, he looks at Mabel in the wrong way and I hate it." Dipper said in an aggravated tone.

Dipper quickly changes the subject," So who did Mabel find this time?" He asked.

"It's a white haired kid who wears a pine tree hat. He's a pretty attractive person according to her." I reply, turning towards him.

He smirks," Not more than me, right? I wouldn't want to lose you to the albino kid." Dipper replies with a cocky tone before placing my hands in his.

I roll my eyes," Geez, cocky much?" I reply.

"Only for you, (Y/n)." He replied before kissing my knuckles.

I could feel my cheeks heat up a little before I giggled," Wow, I feel so honored." I replied in a sarcastic tone.

Dipper smirks at me," You should, you have a gleeful after you which is a pretty big deal." He said," Now back to where we were before..." Dipper trails off as his arms wrap around my waist.

My face heats up a little more before I speak," I see you have an even bigger ego than before, Mr. Gleeful." I retort yet again in a sarcastic tone.

Dipper leans in to kiss me again, but I move his face to the side and kiss him on the cheek," Maybe tone down your ego next time, hot shot." I say before unwrapping his arms.

Dipper rolls his eyes at me," Oh come on, (Y/n), playing a little hard to get now?" He asked rhetorically.

I giggle," As I said, tone down the ego and I'll think about not playing 'so hard' to get." I reply with emphasis on the 'so hard'.

I slowly begin to walk away as his face turns into a little pout. A giggle rises from me before I touch his chin," Awww look how cute you are when you're mad..." I comment and my cheeks rise with a little heat.

He noticed my cheeks," Oh so you do think I'm cute..." Dipper trails off as a smirk appeared on his lips.

My cheeks get a little hot and I pull my hand away. " Well....I...uh..." and I couldn't produce an answer.

He chuckles before wrapping his arm around my waist again, "Oh you're a little speechless, aren't ya?" Dipper asked rhetorically," Well that's okay...it's cute..." he finished as Dipper pulled me closer to him.

I could feel the red spreading again as I covered my face with my hand. I heard a snap and we appeared back at my house, on my front porch. He unwrapped one of his arms, and pulled out a small bouquet of white roses with a black ribbon tied around them.

"I was going to give these to you before the show but I had to help set up." Dipper replied as he held them towards me.

I smile spreads across my lips," I should be giving you something like this since you had the show." I retort and he placed them in my hands.

Dipper chuckles," Flowers aren't really my favorite, not really my style." He replied.

"Well I love them anyways." I replied with another smile. I quickly grasp his tie and pull him closer. A surprised look was upon his face as I pull him close.

Before he could do anything, I quickly kiss him on the cheek. A look a disappointment was upon his lips even though he tried to hide it. After I kissed his cheek, he had placed a hand on his cheek.

A small giggle escaped my lips as I pulled away," I'll see you at the Gala, gleeful." I said, beginning to walk towards my front door before he grasped my hand.

He lifted my hand up to his lips and kissed my knuckles lightly," See you then, (n/n)" Dipper replied before letting go of my hand. He started to walk away and to his house.

I quickly opened the door and closed it behind me. Taking a breath in, a sweet aroma wafted from the flowers as I leaned against my door. A small smile made its way upon my lips, what had I gotten myself into?
