“Then what do you think it is…?” Dipper blushed a gentle red and rubbed at his heated cheek some. “I-I mean….what would you want it to be?”
“Maybe this feeling we’re feeling is like the baby steps towards that. Ii gotta admit I…I’ve been feeling super weird around you myself. Different than when I was a kid.” Dipper rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly before letting out a shy laugh.
“But you’re right. This isn’t love and it isn’t just friendship either. Ii kinda feeling the in between of both really…whatever it is. Ii like it.” Shyly, the brunette let his hand rub against the demons own some.
“Maybe we can learn what it is t-together.”
Bill felt a bit offended, he was a being of pure energy, why would he need to take baby steps? But Dipper was still talking and he was acting a bit strange, so Bill decided to keep quiet. He didn’t understand why Dipper seemed so fidgety, he supposed this was that ‘body language’ thing he heard about. He never had a reason to learn human non-verbal language before, he could simply read their minds. Now, with his powers limited by his human body, he was wishing he hadn’t overlooked that detail.
But Dipper didn’t seem to be in any pain, he looked happy in a weird sort of way. He was rubbing his hand against Bills, and Bill wound his fingers between Dippers to hold him still. Huh, that actually felt nice in a way, maybe the humans were onto something with their ‘holding hands’.
“Yea, that was the plan, Pine Tree.” Bill said with a grin, holding his hand a bit tighter. “It would take longer to figure it on our own.”
“We’re suppose to be enemies you and I.” Dipper murmured quietly, and yet he found himself hugging Bill’s hand, squeezing it when their fingers entwined together. He chuckled weakly and scooted a little closer to the taller, marbling up to the blond with that dorky slanted smile of his. The young Pines felt happy here. Comforted. Everything he knew he shouldn’t be. But he was too content to protest what he knew he really wanted. “It’s weird…I’ve…I’ve never felt like this before, let alone with a former dream demon.” The brunette teased.
“But y’know…this could be therapeutic for us both. Maybe it’ll help me be less obsessed with those stupid journals and maybe you might be less crazy and trying to destroy the world or whatever so hey, that’s a bonus if I ever saw one.” Dip joked.
Bill watched as the human scooted closer, his grin growing in response to Dippers own.
“If it makes you feel better, it was never anything personal, Pine Tree. I dont care about destroying this world, I just wanted a dimension that wasn’t decaying to party in with my friends. So yea, the partying kind of did involve destroying, but that was never the aim.” His grin dropped as he probably wasn’t making Dipper feel any better. Oh well.
“You were just in the way… but I did say then, and I’ll say it again… I like you.” He leaned into Dipper a bit more, his chest feeling weird. Stupid human body seemed to have a mind of its own, sometimes. “I’m here now, so I guess that part of my plan worked, anyways.”
