You and Dipper's Age: 13

~•~Your POV~•~

Dipper had invited me to sleepover at the shack. Of course, I would never refuse a great offer from my best friend. We were both hanging out in the living room, watching ducktective, when the power goes out. I didn't even notice how bad the weather was outside.

But being the scared-y cat he is, Dipper yelped and hugged my arm tightly, digging his face in the crock of my neck, making me a blushing mess.

Good thing that the powers out, so he can't see my face.

I giggled and patted his head.

"Don't worry, Dippy. I'm here to protect you." I smiled.

He still kept his head in the crock of my neck, now starting to tremble. I sat there for a moment, thinking of something that would calm him down. Then an idea popped into my head.

"Hey, do you know what I do when I'm scared or nervous?" I asked.

"Wha-what?" He stuutered.

"I sing to myself." I smiled.

He didn't say anything else, trembling more now. I sighed.

"Do you have any requests?" I asked.

"I-I wish we had a f-flashlight." Dipper stuttered.

A song popped into my head once he said that.

"Oh, I have the perfect song."

Before I started to softly sing the song, I rested my cheek on Dipper's head.

"When tomorrow comes, I'll be on my own

Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know

When tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes

When tomorrow comes

And though the road is long, I look up to the sky

And in the dark I found, I hope I will fly

And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I~"

I hugged him a little bit "-I look around me and see a sweet life

I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night

Kickstart my heart when you shinin' in my eyes

I can't lie, it's a sweet life

I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night~

I see the shadows long, beneath the mountain top

And I'm not the afraid, when the rain won't stop

Cause you light the way, you light the way

You light the way~"

I held his hands, making him look up at me. "~I got all I need when I got you and I

I look around me, and see a sweet life

I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night

Kickstart my heart when you shinin' in my eyes

I can't lie, it's a sweet life

I'm stuck in the dark, but you're my flashlight

You're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night~"

We stared into each other's eyes. "~Cause you're my flashlight

You're my flashlight

You're my flashlight, oh~"

We stayed quiet after. A second later, Dipper quickly kisses me on the lips, shutting his eyes tightly. My eyes widened in shock, both of our faces were burning red, but I eventually kissed back, closing my eyes. Dipper pulled back from the kiss, wearing a goofy smile on his face. I snorted with laughter.

A few minutes later, the electricity came back on.

How ironic...

And suspicious...

A moment later, I hear footsteps run into the living room. The one and only Mabster stood at the entrance, a big toothy grin on her face. Dipper and I gave her a suspicious look.

"...What did you do, Mabel?" Dipper asked.

"Did you eat Smile Dip again?" I asked, putting my hands in my hips.

She put her fingers together, making it into a hashtag.

"Hashtag Match-Made!" Mabel shouted, before laughing like crazy.

Dammit.

This is so freakin cliché of her, right?

I feel like one of those girls from those Wattpad  stories.

Lol, silly Mabel
