“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?”
Bill shrugged, oblivious to the mood the conversation was taking on.
“I dont know, humans always insist on giving things names, but some things you just cant name. I dont think its love, at least, not by your definition of it. But there are different kinds of love too.” He shook his head and sighed.
“I’m a demon, I’m not supposed to care about other beings at all…” he muttered, letting his sentence trail off. His face felt warm, but he ignored that, the human body he had made for himself often did odd things on its own.
“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.”
