2D Love [Gravity Falls Fanfic ~ BillDip] (SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter 12 - Will

A week later I was good as new. My nose was no longer runny, my head felt fine, my throat was normal and my limbs were still weak as per usual. There was only one thing wrong, and that was the situation with Bill. Not only was I still trying to work out my feelings, Bill wasn't even around to help me confirm them. I was thinking that maybe if I noticed I was being weird around him, maybe I could confirm that I was actually falling for him instead of coming to the conclusion that my dream factory was stuffing up. Bill was always out with his friends now. I had barely seen him this entire week. He'd walk past my room every now and then and ask me how I am before running off to go to work or school or to do something with his friends. I felt myself feeling a bit lonely without him. I knew I had Mabel, but she was my sister and I've always had her. Having a friend sticking so close for a while and then kinda disappearing was a bit rough.

It was a Friday morning. After waking up, the first thing I did was cautiously peer my head over the side of the bed, kind of hoping Bill would be there, waiting to grab my ankles and drag me under the bed to tickle me to death or to hug me again. I blushed at the thought, but almost immediately frowned when I didn't see a blonde haired, blue eyed boy staring back at me. I sighed and sat upright on my bed, hugging my legs and staring boredly into space. Was I going to have to walk to school without Bill today? Why was he never home anymore... Did he not like or appreciate me anymore? I got out of my fetal position and slowly stood up, stretching my back. This was long overdue, since I had barely moved in the last week. I walked to the kitchen and found Mabel making her lunch.

"Hey." I said, walking in casually.

"Oh, hey." She looked at me and smiled. "Ready to go back to school?" She asked.

I sighed. "Not really..." I mumbled.

"Oh well. Deal with it bro, because you have to go. I'm forcing you." She smirked.

"I know..." I said, hopping on the bench and sitting down. I picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and looked at it, inspecting it closely. Mostly out of boredom and concentration in other thoughts though. I took a bite off it and stared out the kitchen window.

"Why are you more dramatic than usual this morning?" Mabel smiled to herself while she continued to make her lunch. I glanced at her and bit my lip.

"Do you uh... know Bill's new friends?" I asked her with slight hesitation.

"Not personally. I heard something about a Gideon and I knew that it couldn't be good." She replied. "Why, is something wrong?"

I looked away. "I-I can tell you anything right?" I asked quietly.

"Of course, Dipper. Unless you're going to tell me you like Bill because in that case I've known for a loooong time." She shrugged. My face heated up, causing myself to refuse eye contact with her

"I don't like Bill, geez!" I exclaimed, scratching the back of my head. I heard her scoff. "I'm just... worried about him... And a little jealous to be honest. I turned him human a-and after almost two months he just dropped me like a piece of trash or something.." I mumbled. "L-Like... he's never home anymore, I haven't talked to him properly in a week; I just... enjoy his company, you know?"

"Awe bro, that's because you are a piece of trash." She snickered, patting me on the back. "Nah, I'm kidding. Seriously though, I understand what you mean. You feel like you've been used, right? Maybe you should talk to him about it. I can imagine him jumping all over you apologising like crazy." She said.

"I don't know..." I sighed.

"Well, you ain't getting anywhere if you don't toughen up Dipper. If you have a problem, fix it." She said, placing her hands on her hips and posing dramatically, like she had just given me some life changing lecture.
